I also played through Rime this weekend and I think the framerate issues have been unfairly maligned. I didn’t find them that bad, even though I noticed them at times, and they seemed worst in the first stage. But they didn’t affect the gameplay for me in any way and it’s still a beautifully designed game. The first…

My friend has roped me into playing airsoft with her boyfriend and his airsoft ... team? Airsoft is technically a game, right? Anyway, I looked at their team Instagram account (yes, really) and they all seem to take it very seriously whereas I dont even own an airsoft gun — they’re loaning me a couple for the day — so…

We’re thankful for you too, Matt!

I broke down and got Super Mario Odyssey, mainly because I thought it would be a nice distraction for my nephew. He’s only four and doesn’t really play games but he absolutely loved it. We spent about an hour in two player mode with him playing the hat just playing catch with one of the dogs. And then another half…

As I mostly lurk on Fridays I am late to the party, so I will answer both what I have played as well as what I will be playing. This post being WHAT HAVE I PLAYED?

I have stalled out on Rise of the Tomb Raider, a bit after making it to Geothermal Valley. It was not bad or anything, I just found my desire to play had slackened. I put another run into Stellaris, and once again got stomped by the first empire to declare war. That is 4 games in a row with the same outcome, total…

Thanks Matt, i love coming here, learning about games, putting games on my to do list. We also have some wordsmiths here and i like to read flowing writing and gravitate to a few of the contributors. Happy Thanksgiving from a Canadian who enjoys this community dearly.

Driving around and just pure chaos will result in more mobile time for me, but there’s fortunately Animal Crossing Pocket Camp and Fire Emblem Heroes to help on that front. The Switch will also, of course, be finding some time on the go, and I hopefully get to play ARMS with my siblings and try out Splatoon 2's…

Alas, I’ll probably spend much of the weekend surrendering the PS3/PS4 controllers to my son, who is bouncing back and forth between playthroughs of FALLOUT 3 and FALLOUT 4. Must admit, it’s a real delight to revisit the former after I’ve been away so long, especially watching it unfold under his control, as he…

When I’m not preparing Thanksgiving dinner (starting with The Brining tonight), serving Thanksgiving dinner, cleaning up after Thanksgiving dinner, or redecorating the house for Christmas, I’ll be playing Pokemon Ultra Sun, my first foray to the Alola region. I snatched up the Steelbook dual edition last Thursday so…

Thank you Matt! This society continues to be the best place on the internet to read and chat about games, in no small part because of your personal efforts.

Ugh, turkey. I’ve substituted it for pork, lamb and duck for the last few Christmases over here in the UK and been much happier as a result, but I expect you in the States have no way of getting round it at Thanksgiving beyond claiming you’ve become vegetarian for a week.

Was feeling kind of jealous of all the Mario Odyssey love around these parts. Since I’m not planning on getting a Switch until sometime next year, I decided to go ahead and download A Hat in Time to scratch my 3D platforming collect-athon itch. I haven’t even started it yet (bought it last night and left it on to…

I both love and fear this weekend - Thanksgiving is always a good time to eat with family and enjoy the bustle of a dozen conversations on wide varieties of topics. I’m going to take a couple of board games (like Pandemic and six-player Settlers of Catan, just in case, but our family doesn’t usually get into them…

I’m playing EA ShitStorm Simulator 2017: Battlefront 2 right now and it’s an absolute riot to see EA (and the game industry at large) finally get its comeuppance for being so ruthlessly greedy. The latest headline was by the Hawaiian governor comparing Battlefront 2 as Star Wars luring kids to gambling like Joe Camel…

This weekend (when it arrives, as being in a non-Thanksgiving-celebrating country I have to work the whole week), I will be continuing Saints Row IV. So far it’s been a lot of fun (the “Romance” options are hilarious), although I kind of suck at things like the races. Looking forward to trying new powers out in the…

Bah, they’re using a variation on my super-obvious question I used last week! I feel creatively violated!

We love ya too, Gerardi. Seriously; this is one of a scant few communities dedicated to gaming that I truly like, let alone love. I say this all the time, because I mean it.

Salutations~!

Just got done with done with some Mario Kart. Played some RE7, rocket league, COD:WWII, and fortnite before that. This weekend I plan on putting a lot more time into RE7.
