In the early days of iOS I did buy a bunch of mobile games but the devs quit offering support and eventually my purchases went away. I tried the whole f2p and I have played some fun ones and others I quit right away cause the grind was too high. Pokemon Go is the really the only one I’ve spent money on, which I think…

I thought they did do launch titles, at least for 3rd party. I know they won’t for their 1st party games so don’t expect God of War Ragnarok on PS+ at launch.

Can you claim the tests anytime? I did the last 3 waves when they were announced but wasn’t aware I can just ask for them. I also didn’t know that about my health insurance. Thanks for pointing out useful scenarios! 

I still love the series with it’s ups and downs. The original was such a defining moment for me that I’ve thought about getting the Umbrella logo. I probably won’t get it exact though.

It is a hard choice. I haven’t done any yet but if I do I need to make sure they’re meaningful in some way.

That was me, I was almost asymptomatic! My worse symptom was a sore throat but that lasted 24 hours and then cleared up. So it was most likely irritation from sinus drainage. Honestly I probably wouldn’t have tested if others around me hadn’t gotten it worse and tested positive. Which is a hard call anyway, like every…

I don’t think it would have been that bad since it comes from an innocent place. I’ve seen stories of family members that got matching Zelda tattoos. There was one where a dad and his 3 sons got matching tattoos but each son had a different triforce colored in while the dad had all 3.

Reminds me of an article from years ago. The author had several tattoos and wanted a gaming one but didn’t want to make it obvious. Funny enough he went with Bioshock and got the chains on his wrists. Because he wanted it to be recognizable by those who were “in”.

That is true! I’ve been wanting a pokemon tattoo since I started with Red back in the day and my starter was Bulbasaur. My idea I had was to have it coming out of a pokeball, which to pay homage to my nephew I thought about making it a masterball since that was his favorite. That way it gets a double meaning for me. 

I haven’t had an issue with mine inside of my nice AC home. Of course I’m never like “it’s a wonderful 110 outside, I’ll go play my Switch outdoors!” But yeah this year has been too freakishly hot and I can’t stand it. If I take it with me places I do my best not to leave it in the car. 

I just saw the email and we can claim it on July 12-13 

That’s my thoughts that it won’t be available until tomorrow or later today. I know some of the games they posted for Prime Day have already been cycled out.

When I worked at EBgames/GameStop during that time we received AO stickers to put on the game boxes. They happily still sold the game and we couldn’t advertise it in store but if a customer asked for a copy then I could give them one. We also weren’t allowed to talk about how to access hot coffee, so all I told them…

Me and my wife left a dealer after that. The HRV she wanted was priced right but we get there and the guy is like “the price is $3,000 higher due to a mandatory add-on package!” Like what? We ghosted the dealership when they tried to call.

I’m keeping an eye on them incase they do that. The last few games I got came with steelbooks from them. I did miss out on Lego Star Wars though, they ran out before I got to pre-order it. So I’ve been waiting to see if they’ll bring it back. 

I do want the steelbook but don’t want to shell out for these collector’s editions to get it. I did get the collector’s edition of the first game but it was a gift from my wife for christmas. She got lucky and got it on clearance at GameStop. So my first one came in a steelbook and it would be great to have them…

I’ve felt like that a while. Games kinda became disposable for me and thanks to Game Pass I’m mostly digital with the occasional disc if it’s on sale. There are a few games that I’ll get day 1 on disc but most I’ll get during a digital sale. It also helps with having multiple Xbox’s in the house.

That’s good news! Now I just need my PS4 Pro fixed or get lucky with a PS5...

I haven’t gotten my email yet but other places reported nothing has been said about that. I don’t think I can see them jump from 2 Xbox One games to 4 games to fill the new void. I just hope they go out with a bang for the 360 games.

It’s possible I heard about the game before but just forgot it existed. So this weekend was the first time it was brought to my attention and like you said it sounded like a new game for Xbox. The clips they showed I thought showed a lot of polish for an unreleased game but come to find now it was probably from the PC…
