I downloaded the Splatoon 2 demo and I’m really enjoying it so far. We’ll see if I get an itch to play after the demo is over but for now its doing its job.  I also picked up Darkest Dungeon on Switch this week, have only done the first quest so far and I’m planning on doing a little more with that but I think its…

I wish I could forget ever playing Obra Dinn so I could play it again. The music, the mysteries, the wtf moments later in the story...its just a damn good game.

The thing is that Epic isn’t competing with 2004 Steam its competing with 2019 Steam with all of those features. It's completely fair to have expected them to have more available at launch than they did. 

They are making a lot of claims here on how its going to run but if it all actually works this is going to be huge.  Sony, MS, and Nintendo will still have their exclusives but outside of that this could really put a dent in the next generation of hardware.

I’m very intrigued about the idea and I want to see how it's executed. It's going to come down to games and how well the service work but if it works it has the possibility of really disrupting the market which will be interesting to watch. Personally I hope they go with a Gamepass model instead of individual…

I’m hoping for a Roku type box that I can at least plug an ethernet cord in. 

This is my worry. I'm definitely not opposed to trying a streaming service but I am leery about investing in a Google gaming ecosystem knowing how often they shutter programs. 

Witcher 3 is going to be my answer for the foreseeable future. Not very far in my play through yet, still trying to figure out whether or not to go side quest crazy and just take a long time with it or go more story mainlining.

I wish I had gotten into the Project Steam beta as I’m very interested and seeing how well this stuff works first hand.  I expect companies to start dabbling a bit more with streaming with this upcoming console generation but I wouldn’t be surprised if the one following that (so ~8-10 years from now) that streaming is…

Don’t worry everybody, IronPlushy is here to tell you what you can and cannot like.

I really wish after defeating Ganon that the game would have allowed you to keep going off that save. I still had plenty of side quests and shrines to finish but it felt anticlimactic to go back to an earlier save situation to finish that up only to go back later and do the thing I already did. It would even be nice…

I have several videos of my 5 year old “reading” stories to her younger sister which just consists of her opening up a book and then making up something. She also likes recording videos of herself talking so we have a lot of videos of that.

For the longest time my oldest daughter, who is 5, wasn’t interested in games at all. I didn’t push it on her either, just figured if and when she was interested she would communicate that. Her interest started when she saw me playing Smash Brothers and something in that piqued her interest. She started playing with…

It does make a person wonder why baseball’s hot stove has been hijacked by basketball, and what Manfred has in mind to remedy this. If he does. And if it matters either way.

I think its time to start getting into Witcher 3. 

All the more reason why you should never pre-order a game (at least not from one you can easily cancel and get a refund from).  Also with these types of games you should really be waiting a little bit of time anyways, let the bugs get sorted and more content added first (and maybe a cheaper price).  Maybe you miss…

I think this game is just another piece of evidence that for GaaS games people should really take a wait and see approach. Maybe this “Day 1" patch will fix a lot of issues and maybe there will still be a lot remaining (I also think its bad that they didn’t have a patch ready for their current paying customers). Just…

Steam is not a monopoly. Spectrum is a basically monopoly where I live because I do not have any other real choice for internet access. A monopoly is the loss of choice but you can buy PC games in a lot of different places than Steam. Yes it’s the biggest platform in terms of users and games but that doesn’t make it a…

Except you are conveniently ignoring the fact that Valve isn’t paying to have any of those games be exclusive on Steam. You know that already but that fact just doesn’t fit into your narrative and so you try to put out misleading comments instead. So no “Gamer Nation” hasn’t risen up to protest because there is…

I gave up waiting for a sale and picked up Obra Dinn so that’s my plan for this weekend.  I also finally bought The Witcher 3 ($15 for game and all dlc) this past week so it might be time to finally get into that if I have time after Obra Dinn.
