I'm glad you gave this a great review! I haven't checked it out yet, only added it to my Steam library when I realized it was available. I got a "new" phone. It's the best phone I've ever had, but it's still not the greatest (Samsung Galaxy A01), so I'm not sure which games I'll play on it. I've been playing a few. I tried Marvel Strike Force on my old phone and I never got passed the loading screen, haven't tried it on the new one.

I enjoyed the single player part of Hearthstone, but that didn't last long. I really don't like competitive play, so I came to the conclusion that the game (and similar games that force competitive play) just isn't for me. I'm still interested in MtG and Gwent, just not competitively. I played MtG staring in high school along w/ the Star Trek: The Next Generation CCG. I loved Gwent in Witcher 3.

Is there a single player part of it or do you have to play against others?

That's interesting, I just started playing the game again recently. I played briefly, long enough to create my blue self and play a bit. Are you going to be diving in? You can check out this screenshot I grabbed for you: https://imgur.com/WPhJRrN

Surely it'll be connected. If you're interested in some game play, check out quill18's playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs3acGYgI1-tqsWEfvCdajwxHcGW5uCAk

Yeah, I then imagined having blue skin IRL.

Aw, man, I want it on Steam. This has been rumored for a long time. This was one of the best N64 games. I think it was what primarily got me to buy one. I had local friends to play with and it was fun. I haven't looked too deep into playing XBox games on my PC. I just Googled it. I've used the XBox Companion app for recording or connecting to XBox friends. I used it for the Bedrock version of Minecraft, but that's it. Maybe that's something to look for this.

Also, Jon, underneath the 2nd paragraph here is text that reads "GoldenEye 007 screenshot."

Thanks for sharing this!

When you get to Valhalla, will you tell Mighty Thor I love her, please? LOL I won't be anywhere though.

I understand your physical media desire. I love digital access, but how long are we going to have access to that content? Steam leaving would cut me off from LOTS of money I've spent on games. Epic Games leaving would cut me off of the free games I've gotten, some of which I already own on Steam, so they could be a bit of a backup.

Also, I kind of hate buying a Blu-Ray, for instance, because once I watch a movie, I don't usually want to again until years later. I don't even want the Jurassic World: Dominion Blu-Ray. Yes I love everything JP/JW, but I don't want another Blu-Ray that's going to collect dust for years, like the JP/JW collection I have (all-in-one).

One great thing about physical media, though, is it gives you something to pass on to your kids (if you have any). I've decided EVERYTHING I own goes to my son when I die. He's my only and only intended, so no competition. If my mom is still alive, though, everything I got from my grandmother's when she died will go to her instead (like my grandfather's ring and old radio).

I love streaming, though. It gives me quick and easy access. Then I sit at my PC and watch it, this is my comfort zone. I only turned on my TV recently because I needed it to help me troubleshoot "no signal" from my new GPU. I got that TV between 2006-2009. It's a 50' plasma. I don't use it anymore, just glad I had it for troubleshooting when I needed it (and it helped!). I guess that also can be evidence for me being a PC snob. LOL

Wow, Star Trek in 4K! I can't do 4K, but I can do half and I strongly believe that extra resolution makes the picture really crisp and gorgeous! I don't have a special audio system, I don't notice it's quality unless I'm in the movie theater. The first high-res HDR movie I watched was Ghostbusters: Afterlife and I was so impressed with how gorgeous it was! I got to see Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness that way, too (after I saw it in theater).

I binged all of ST years ago. I'm all caught up, too, except for Lower Deck (not sure I'm interested). I think that's all I've missed out on. I love all of it! TNG was what got me into it.

Thanks for sharing this! That makes me want to watch those movies again! (I love V-ger!)

>I buy on a few criteria. What stuff do I always want to watch or play no matter what (I mean, as long as I have electricity). What stuff will I watch again? Ok if it’s years in the future. (This one is less a thing, but partly a thing) what stuff might I lend to a friend?

I think that's a good way of thinking about it, Jon.

That's cool! I got to play on my cousin's Genesis and loved it! I do have a Genesis mini, but like the mini NES & SNES I think, it's been neglected. I've become a PC snob, so I thought about the ones I have or can get on Steam. Some of my favorites were Jurassic Park, Sonic (1-3), Mortal Kombat (1 & 2), and Street Fighter. I do enjoy when these classic games become available for us to enjoy again. It really helps many of us reconnect with our fondest childhood/more youthful memories. It also gives us the opportunity for us dads to enjoy these games with our kids. Reversing roles a bit.
