All Trades Abbey was fantastic, and a much needed kick in the pants for fun.

I dabbled in Battlefield 3 because I enjoyed BC2 so much, but ultimately abandoned it, and never really got into 4 as it appeared more of the same.

So I finally finished all the Nuka World content in FO4. I found the design of the park to be enthralling if not a bit overly familiar in the actual gun action. I ended up picking the Operators as my top group, primarily because I wanted to wear Disciple gear. (My thought was that I would get the gear from killing…

yah, I was wondering the same thing, he's very judgmental, and I think that's part of his allure.

Glad to see they kept the Retro Lancer in. The roadie-run bayonet charge was one of the more enjoyable things they added in 3.

Half-life's seamless levels, that sometimes had multiple connection points, really confused me at that time. There had never been "going back" in any prior shooter I played. It was a simple, but ceiling-busting innovation that Valve is known for.

Earlier I was looking into the total number of times teams have been on Sunday Night Football (primarily to make lame joke about how the Cowboys were up against a palette-shifted Cowboys next Sunday) and it seems like the only 2016 winning team that's been on SNF 20 or more times is the Patriots. (it's surprising how…

Forza Horizon 3 feels like a game where you think you're about to run out of content 5 hours in. I've unlocked all the festival locations, I think, and it's just a matter of upgrading them to get more courses, but I have this odd sense of dread that I've already seen it all. I attribute that to open world syndrome…

Makes sense. Papa John requires Nintendo to replace mario's face with his own. Money exchanged. Nintendo stays in business and Papa John's smug asshole face reaches yet a few million more eyes.

Due to being sick, I got three extra days into my Fallout 4 Evil Run. I last left off just at the entrance to the Nuka World Gauntlet.

Oh I know, but buying the expansions basically is a requirement if you wish to continue to play beyond a certain point. It's basically like a subscription in that sense. I knew of this going in, but, realized quickly into it that it wasn't my thing.

hehe, I did my second play through of Red Dead Redemption back when it went on BC and thought I'd hit a wall with the introductory cattle farming stuff. That portion of the game is a lot shorter than I remember it, and does a very good job at getting you involved in the world.

My experience was similar (bought the base Destiny and played it until raids became a thing) but I'm glad I tried it. If anything, it gave me a personal understanding that these types of subscription games are not my thing. I cannot keep up with games that require a long time sink any more, I just lose interest. The…

I'm one of the people that really only played classic mario games and a few of the newer ones inspired by them. But, I've also played Thousand Year Door. Since I was already aware of prior Paper Mario games and the Mario RPG, the additional world building didn't feel strange, but I sometimes felt it was a bit like…

Try out your new skills as you get them. It may seem like they limited down the skill sets you can pick, but once you unlock them all, and their modifiers, it is actually a bit overwhelming. I am always looking out for a different approach to my skills, and at higher levels, often try to set them up so I don't need to…

VII has a lot of moving around without any actual battle. It puts a lot of value into just navigating the mostly empty islands. Especially when you return to the islands and there are no more monsters on them.

Same. And it has the unpardonable sin of being like a first person shooter with terrible shooting mechanics.

I read something the other day that many of the people working on it were once working on that Star Wars: 1313 and that was a good omen.

I'm personally looking forward to seeing if Russel Wilson will end up with so much tape on his feet, he may as well be playing on two big fat hooves.

You'd be pissed too if someone played your paused game of candy crush and now you have to wait 15 minutes before it lets you try again.
