I’ve been doing something similar.  I got a new PC for my birthday before things actually locked down, but then I decided to get a new 4K monitor to go with it.  After that my PC was so much better than my laptop that I decided to buy a Zephyrus G14 with an RTX 2060M when I got my stimulus check.  But if I was going…

I’d heard something like that, but it wasn't clear if that meant Project Xcloud, releases like Assassin's Creed Valhalla that are releasing on both current-gen and next-gen, or if all games can actually run in both consoles. I suspect a mix of the first two, but even if it's the third it's all the more reason to…

It’s debatable just how “natural” this step is. Ending production on consoles is a normal part of the console cycle, but this feels extremely early. For starters, the Xbox Series X isn’t even out yet. Even stranger is the decision to stop producing the more-powerful Xbox One X while leaving the low-end Xbox One S on…

I’ll look into that one.  And, I guess, the sequel.

Right? For me taking over outposts undetected is more fun in the Far Cry games than the story missions. I spent the early party of the lockdown replaying FC3, 4, 5, Blood Dragon and Primal before I finally got around to picking up and playing New Dawn.

I know it’s getting trendy to hate on it, but few games give my brain the same dopamine hit as the Ubisoft open world check-out-all-the-map-icon games that Far Cry and especially Assassin’s Creed have become. I played through Origins and Odyssey both twice. I gather that some people are a bit disappointed to see that…

I think the accessory that’s made the biggest difference is my LG-27UK850-W monitor that replaced my old Samsung. The Samsung was a 27" 60Hz, 1080p TN panel, the LG is a 27" 60Hz 4K IPS. Now sure, the extra pixels and much more accurate colors are nice and all, but the real reason I picked it? HDR. I finally got…

Sounds like I should be good to go on my computers, then. My desktop has a i7-9770K and an RTX 2080 hooked up to a 4K 60Hz display, my laptop has a Ryzen 4900HS and a 1080p 120Hz display. Both have 16GB of RAM. (Generally speaking, it’s been my experience that if the desktop can do 60fps in 4K then the laptop will do…

God, I hope it’s the first one.  I love me an open world map full of icons and tasks that have no real bearing on the story. (It probably wouldn’t surprise you to know that I’m a big Assassin’s Creed fan, too.)

I liked Super Paper Mario, but fans weren’t happy even then that they were changing the formula from the original and TTYD. This is why I prefer the Mario and Luigi series over the Paper Mario series, and it’s a shame Partners in Time didn’t get a 3DS remake.  It was the best one, and it’s the only one not to have a…

Reminds me of the Neo Geo mini.

You ever buy any of those unlicensed third-party toys from companies like MMC, DX9, or Fans Toys?  I’m working on three different Menasors right now.

This is no Zaku, boy.  No Zaku.

Well, 59 feet is full size, so yeah.  Next one they build needs to have the controls to move it in the actual cockpit.

4K is good.  I’m just saying that HDR makes more of a difference.

Crysis looked amazing when it released, how much of an update does it really need? I should probably stick with the version I already have...

Oh, neat. I’m sure the game’s crappy, but as a Transformers fan it’s still probably cool for $15 bucks.

Honestly, at this point I consider it a win if people have a mask on at all.  While things have opened up and restrictions are being lifted here wearing a mask is still required by the state.  I went to Best Buy over the weekend (my keyboard’s dying and I wanted to actually try typing on a few before committing $100+…

OK, but counterpoint- definitely the best AC.
