Wanted to pitch a “Tom Clancy’s The Division or 2020?” article to Kotaku back then, making people try to guess if it was real life or a screenshot from the games

Is Watch Dogs 2 like GTA V? Yeah, you can steal any vehicle and joyride around, go on shooting rampages, kill cops and innocent people if you want.

Literally was just complaining on the last article about how pissed I was my internet randomly went down for three hours the morning AC Valhalla came out and I couldn’t play because they forced always online into a goddamned single player game (though I’m not sure it’s still required, they may have changed it).

Will never forget the morning Assassin’s Creed Valhalla had gone live. Woke up, had it preloaded, turned it on, played for about 11 minutes and - bam!

Nice juxtaposition of these two PlayStation stories in a row

What’s more annoying is that there is a defacto pause early on with the tutorial modals. The game world completely freezes in place when one of those info boxes pops up.

The monsters in my copy of Elden Ring have a 2 year old on their team IRL. He’s the invader that ignores the offline option.

Playing now, wandered into some mine with elevators near the opener. Think my rhythm will be to burn runes on leveling up early and often to drop less when I get killed, which is also early and often. The monsters also have a toddler on their team here IRL, helping them snatch victory from the jaws of defeat by…

Disc and PS4 in my childhood bedroom/adulthood storage locker with $0 monthly rent 30 miles east of here, though I am seriously tempted to get it and do a refresher if only to make Elden Ring more productive.

This is my first real effort/purchase of a Souls game, having given up on Bloodborne which I tried, wanted to, and did kind of enjoy but I just couldn’t get past that fucking Father Gascoigne cocksucker (Also got the game from a neighbor for free, so no sunk cost made it easier to give up).

This article is supposed to be some kind of confession.

Vanguard really sucked in comparison to WWII, the last one I owned.

Shockingly it was a staggering 17 minute wait after it went live for me to be able to play on Xbox Series S, plus I did not get kicked at all after getting in. Impressive because the Season 14 launch was an absolute shitshow - and that was just a minor update.

They put her in the show and then have some other actress playing Halsey.

Schrieber’s a solid actor. That Den of Theives was awfully uneven and tried too hard to be Heat but I will say he just about almost matched Robert De Niro as far as the ultra-intense and disciplined master bank robber goes. He was that good.

Forever his name shall be tarnished

Is it really though? I don’t know, I’m kind of fucking pissed after paying for that lame PowerUp Pro Rewards plan and getting nothing when I kind of would not be and would be more inclined to shop at Game Stop if they figured out a way to offer standing orders as I had outlined.

Here’s a crazy idea: How about some retailer just offer standing purchases that get fulfilled in the order in which they were received? Like walk into Game Stop, put down a $500 cash or gift card deposit, show your photo ID, verify your phone number via SMS, and whenever there’s a PS5 or Xbox Series X available, it is…

Had to settle for an Xbox Series S that I’d just happened to see on the shelf at Target after getting repeatedly fucked out of drops at Game Stop and Best Buy’s websites.

That painter was the OG Instagram filter. Hope they paid him well.
