I’ve been playing video games with my son since he was 3 (6 now), and it really is a great time being able to share my favorite hobby with my son.  Our favorite couch co-op game so far is Starlink, followed by the Master chief collection.  Playing through the campaigns with my kid has been a blast.

It’s still on the Xbox store, fortunately.  Just got into it last night, figured I better play it before it’s gone as well.

As someone who’s early video game experiences included a lot of Sonic, I’m appalled.  Meanwhile, my son, who’s six and knows Sonic from Smash Brothers, thinks it looks really cool.  I have a feeling this movie is going to have a significant generational divide.  One side with hate it with every ounce of their being,…

The scene felt somewhat gratuitous, I mean Captain Marvel just decimated the ship, and she could have blown through everyone with that gauntlet, so the “girl power” scene seemed a little forced. At the same time, it was pretty damn cool, just felt unnecessary.

I had always used the fire chem launcher, and oddly enough, really preferred how it used to be. Since the change, I went with the healing chem launcher, and while I miss flushing out guys hiding behind cover, it makes the game so much easier having a healing skill.

Anthem is hands-down the best worst game I have ever played. Never before have I been so torn between loving it one minute, to cursing it the next. I’m still holding out hope, because at it’s core, there is the foundation of an amazing game.  Once Division 2 released, I moved on, but I’m really hoping to have a reason…

I’d be all about another Echo the Dolphin game.  They’re still weird games, though.

I passed out Saturday night while playing (sort of). It’s not that the game is boring, it was just the damn loading screens. I probably pissed off people I was teamed up with through matchmaking, because the last thing I recall was setting my consumables and starting the expedition. Woke up 6 hours later with a sore…

I loved the first two games, so it sounds like this one will / should be fun as well.  If I had to pay $60 for a game that sounds like a slightly-upgraded version of it’s predecessors, I wouldn’t be too happy.  Times like these I’m grateful for the game pass.

It’s great to see the Wisconsin Buttery burger get the respect it deserves. What makes this heart-stopper (damn near literally) better is with their ranch. The guilt and shame I feel after downing two of those bad boys along with two sides of ranch...it’s in explainable.  Not quite on par with pocketing money from a…

Personally, I went with (sort of had to) go with an FHA loan due to student loans that will continue to haunt me. The interest was less than a conventional loan, but there was upfront PMI in addition to the monthly PMI that will be for the life of the loan.

People freaking out about not getting a refund, but if you look at your effective tax rate, good chance it’s lower than prior years. Of all the returns I have completed for 2018 so far, 95% have been at a lower effective tax rate than prior years.  That figure will change once people start receiving 1099s from their…

Welcome to 2019.

I just tried it last night on my Pixel 2 XL, set the phone on my thigh so I could glance down while playing, and damn that thing got hot. Great idea, just a very resource-intensive app. Drains battery like crazy, too.

Last night I just wrapped up the Atlantis and Cult questlines, both of which far exceed the “main” story line. While working on the Cult members, my son and I had a blast trying to piece together who the “main” cult member was (I guessed right, +1 for Dad). When not playing, we would discuss clues as to who it might…

I was really looking forward to this, but am now heartbroken after reading this review. I’m not one to base a purchase off of a review, but I played the original for countless hours, then spend about 15 minutes on the mobile version before calling it quits. The controls killed it.  I had this day on my calendar since…

The boar was the first one I tried, and surprisingly I had no issue with it, but the lion.....the lion was tough, even when I was a level or two above it. Taking out the smaller lions first is a must, but even when it is one on one, that thing moves fast, and the only way to get a hit is to dodge it’s attacks and…

Does anyone have an idea how comparable leveling is in this game compared to Origins? I hate the idea of paying for an XP booster, but I have a kid and work 50+ each week, so time isn’t on my side. At the same time, I really want to enjoy this game, but not spend months playing it.

You hit the nail on the head with that. I’m surprised they went as far as calling the skin “cowgirl”, isn’t that sexist now or something? I can’t keep up with what offends people nowadays.

This game alone will be worth the Game Pass subscription. I still can’t believe Microsoft is releasing first-party games immediately on Game Pass, but no complaints here.  Fingers crossed for another Hotwheels expansion, that was amazing on FH3.
