Happenstance

I'm absolutely terrible in the heat so this weather is just fine for me lol

Ended up buying PlayerUnknown's Battleground last night. I was planning on waiting for a console release but I buckled. Played my first game this morning and got 19th place with 2 kills which I'm quite happy with. Got to wait for deliveries and repair men today so probably won't play much until tonight as its not a game I can just pause and walk away from!

Aw....that's too far away for me to go at such short notice

Good month. It'll be nice to finally play Until Dawn.

This week's comics for me: Action Comics #982 Amazing Spider-Man #29 Ben Reilly: Scarlet Spider #4 Jean Grey #3 Secret Empire #5 The Flash #25 X-Men: Blue #6

Unfortunately those are a lot of the complaints I have about my Xbox One S as well. On the one hand I'm glad its not my primary console so I dont experience them all that often but on the other it means that all these console and game updates pile up so when I do turn it back on I cant use it for hours.

I cant say about billing address for ShopTo but their delivery address should be changeable in your account settings somewhere. For some reason they dont allow you to change delivery addresses in actual order settings and make you change it so all orders can only fall under one address. Always annoying when I used to have multiple preorders and had to change the address after one had been delivered if I wanted the next one to go to work and not home.

Bought a load of the Boss Fight books to read:

Thanks. I think I'll pick up the ones that interest me on Kindle.

NERG?

@Ashley am I remembering right that you read the Spelunky Boss Fight Books book? I'm just thinking about getting some of them and was wondering if they were any good?

I did the same and got an email but I didnt know if the email was just a general one or actually the notification. The site didnt seem very good for stuff like that. There was no notification to say that my email address had been accepted etc.

I wonder if they let cancellations build up a bit before they put it back as allocated stock.

Was it the Nintendo store that had the issues on release day with the Switch?

Quote from Eurogamer about the controller cable length

I'm trying to get @Goafer to start watching it next as I think it's humour is right up his street as well. I just found the first episode or so have a bit of a different feel to them (finding their footing I guess), thats why it took me so long to actually watch the show properly. I watched the first episode years ago, possibly when it first aired but decided it wasnt for me.

This interview kind of feels like Sega sticking their fingers in their ears and yelling "Everything is fine, the fans love Sega Forever!" http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-06-26-sega-defends-sega-forever-launch-after-fan-outcry

Bought a few bits and pieces over the past week Steam sale:

Sounds like Homecoming has been getting some very positive buzz. Can't wait to go see it!

Yeah I've seen a lot of US gamers on Gaf talking about importing. Given how hard these could be to get hold off its really annoying!

ShopTo preorder is up https://www.shopto.net/gadgets/GASNES-nintendo-classic-mini-super-nintendo

I preordered one. I wasn't originally planning on it given how poorly I felt Nintendo handled the NES classic but it is a nice list and while I do already own a lot of the proper carts, it would be nice to have somewhere else to play them easily.
