I actually just finished up the campaign a week or two ago. Pretty good, but kindof a shame some of the gameplay elements only lasted one chapter. Like the timeshift thing came and went within about 20 minutes of gameplay and I was really enjoying it. Really good game though, if short.

Interesting opinion about Andromeda as I’ve been considering playing it since it’s on EA Play (so I can get it as part of Gamepass). Maybe I should play it. I’ve avoided it because of the massive hate it gets.

Bulletstorm (2011). It was funny, fun, over the top and the gameplay mechanic of getting higher scores for more imaginative skills was unique and added an entirely new level of thinking of how best to dispatch enemies. That “skillshot” system then played into upgrades, so there was an incentive to get creative with…

To be fair, it’s not every 17 years. This brood (Brood X) come out every 17 years, but there’s 12 broods of the 17-year cicadas, and another 3 broods that are on a 13-year cycle. They are all in different parts of the country though so the brood in your area might only be every 17 (or 13) years. So nationwide you get…

I love going out for a hike in the woods when they emerge. They’re so loud and are literally everywhere and coating everything. It’s cool, creepy and fascinating. Love it.

Not knowing much about the canal, I’m surprised it’s just lined with soil and sand as it seems like a ship running aground like this is a totally foreseeable eventuality (especially with ships getting larger and I believe it was the wind that blew this one sideways)

I wonder if they’ll put in a system of bumpers (is…

Man, I don’t want Tesla having video of me stored somewhere, but the idea that they’d use the video to prove I wasn’t being a responsible driver is the same reason I have a dashcam: to prove that whoever rear-ended me or brake-checked me or merged into me wasn’t being a responsible driver. Or on the flip side to…

I live just outside of Hershey so it’s everywhere and can’t say I’ve ever noticed the sour taste or aftertaste. I really hope you didn’t ruin Hershey’s chocolate for me, which while I realize is not the best chocolate around, I’ve still always enjoyed it.

Unpopular opinion but I still enjoy The Simpsons. It’s not as good as it used to be (although I’m nearly 50 now and not in my 20's but it still has its moments and I still enjoy the characters and the Springfield “universe” that’s there. Watching it is like revisiting old friends and I enjoy my time with them. When it…

by the time everything is cleaned up we are right into their bedtime routine

Dinner growing up was always around 5. I was older than I like to admit when I realized most people now eat later than that when I visited a bigger city and assumed I would need dinner reservations for a 5:30-6:00 meal and was greeted with “no, you don’t need reservations for anything that early” and the restaurant…

Same here. I did get a Series X on launch day but no luck with the PS5 yet. At this point I’m in no rush as my XBox backlog is growing. Maybe I’ll get a PS5 in the fall but at this point I’m okay just waiting for the first price drop or “slim” model or whatever.

Thanks. I haven’t played Battlefront II and am really only a single-player/campaign guy. But I was excited about this because I had loved X-Wing and Tie-Fighter back in the day and always wondered why we didn’t have a more modern version of it. Then Squadrons was seemingly announced out of nowhere. Still excited to…

Oh good. I almost jumped on Squadrons for $20 awhile back and figured it would be on Gamepass soon. Been excited to play that since I’ve been itching for a space-combat game (no doubt setting myself up for disappointment)

I’m really digging the looks of both this and the Ioniq 5 (although from pictures I prefer the Ioniq 5. Can’t wait for more details on each (plus pricing) so I can compare, as I’ll be in the market for an EV in the coming months and both of these are looking pretty sweet.

I’ve been over the cinema “experience” for maybe a decade now. The people have ruined it for me. I think I went to 2 movies in 2019 and none since (pandemic didn’t help). Last one I went to was Endgame and the audience was just out of control cheering on everything. I know some people like that “energy” but I can’t…

I started watching it like 2 months ago and had to stop maybe half way through (about the time he’s torturing the woman with the glass/time divider between them). I was admittedly drinking and was having a really hard time following what was going on and I haven’t felt the need to go back to it. Maybe this weekend…

Inverting look is the first thing I do as well. I’m old-school and actually didn’t realize most people didn’t do that now until a year or so ago when my kid made fun of me. Oh well.

If you shrink your browser window the slideshow just becomes one long article, the way it should be. Of course, you do have to resize your window, but totally worth it just to scroll down real quick.

Leaves lockdown, sees police and immediately starts acting suspicious by reversing direction which alerts the police to his odd behavior, then attacks when asked a simple question. Doesn’t sound like the brightest tool in the shed.
