Watched the first two episodes of Preacher last night. I hadn't expected it to be that far out but it seems great. Will definitely watch some more of it, i.e. watch season 1 at least.

Hah, yeah. But ~21 hours? Also, I haven't seen them. Had to stop as soon as the fight was over so I'm saving those for next time.

Oh no, the timer is wrong in the game! It went from 17-ish hours to 38-ish hours when saving last time for me. And I save more often than that. Sigh. Can't handle such things.

Yeah, most likely fake. But it's a good job, it really looks like the Switch menu and acts as it as well.

Finished Chapter 3 last night. That last fight was really hard, I think, even though I was even-levelled with the enemies. It was good, though

I've just been assigned to a new project. I work on Mainframe systems and that's not the most modern solution to work on but it's manageable. However, the new project is on an even older version of the system which basically means that half the tools that I'm used to working with and using frequently are gone, and then the architecture is hopeless - and defined in 1990 and not really changed since. I hope I'm wrong when I suspect that it's going to be a bit of an uphill struggle. However, I applied for a position as back-end .NET-engineer back in July but had to take down the application again due to my son not being well. Now he's well again and the same place just put up a new job advert for the same position. So I'll just apply again and hope that they don't really need someone too experienced even though the advert states it.

Full press release Of special interest is that second to last passage about continued support form major publishers "EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Capcom, SEGA, Take 2 and Bethesda".

Chromecast takes ages as well. Like 30 seconds of holding down a button to reset it. It's a very weird design choice!

I lied before, I was actually in Chapter 3. Being in Chapter 2 must have flown right by my nose. Oh well. I just met with some weirdo character calling himself Bringer of Chaos in Chapter 3. Though I'm really enjoying the game, it goes so slow for me that I'm afraid I'll be playing this game for several weeks to come, building a huge backlog for me. I don't do more games at once in general, especially not with one which is as complex as this one. Just learned about chain attacks but I need more blades to make that more fun, I guess.

I agree, working from home is awesome. I'm doing it a lot since getting my son in July and not having much to do at work was perfect for me, though a bit boring.

New patch live. I'm up to Chapter 2 (took a break when Zelda DLC hit). I'm really feeling it but the battles so far have been a bit on autopilot. I don't get the combo-thing with the others and I feel there is too much customisation in the game for my taste. Would rather want one good weapon that I could just upgrade or buy a new version of rather than change the its abilities with the cores. But I'll manage and see if I can learn the deeper mechanics at some point.

Yeah, the weather update has been really nice and made a lot new Pokémon appear to me. I had a break from August last year to July this year so had a lot of catching up to do but I constantly ran into the same 15-ish Pokémon so couldn't get that far. Now, though, I see a nice variety and have built my collection to almost 200 with quite a few evolutions ready for a Lucky Egg.

How about paid DLC, could that still happen?

New trailer: My wife saw the trailer and said "So... Lemmings with portals?" I was amazed - she was right. It looks awesome.

Catherine is a great game but releasing a remake of it for VIta is a very weird choice. Also, what's wrong with gamers wanting companies to port games to the Switch as well? It truly doesn't make sense that this isn't getting a release on Xbox One and Switch (and PC?) unless Sony is paying for it which is probably the reason. The game would suit perfectly well for Switch.

I'd say Shovel Knight if you haven't played it before. It's totally awesome. Zelda is good too, but the DLC is just more of the same so it depends on your enjoyment of that.

Ah. I had probably missed that back in 2013 and never paid their name much attention afterwards.

I'm confused. Have they bought 20th Century Fox or 21st Century Fox? Or are they the same company with different names and leaders or such?

I think I accidentally turned it on a couple of times trying to skip something. But it just gives you full health, 50 % more health and something else. It's not lowering the AI.

I agree with the criticism, this is not very ambitious at all. Adding a new divine beast just doesn't make sense - they could at least have referenced the fifth one in the original storyline but now it just feels tacked on. I think the better thing would be to add some dungeon in a mountain, some proper dungeon. That said, however, I think the new shrines are among the best in the game.

It's definitely more of the same. But I don't mind as the Shrines are among the best in the game. The challenges leading up to the new Shrines are a bit trivial. Hardest part of them is to find them from that small piece of the map. I have done the Gerudo and am almost finished with the Zora. I don't like the way these new trials end, I thought I was done with those! I haven't found any of the new items. Don't care much for those.

Brawlout comes December 19th and has Juan from Guacamelee in the roster.

Awesome
