Played it and enjoyed but I had a strange revelation: It's a great CoD-style of game and something about any CoD-style game in our post Overwatch/Splatoon/Doom world feels so dated. There's nothing wrong with it and the mobility & titans are great but I can't imagine myself engaging with it in single or multiplayer like I have those games. Despite it's evolutions it definitely looks, plays, and feels like a Call of Duty and I haven't felt the need to go back to one of those since the Modern Warfare trilogy.

;_;

Are we sure this isn't a pachinko machine?

Oh nooo. Please give him many kisses from me!

If you're not watching already go put on the Men's tennis final RIGHT NOW. 3rd set about to start - Murray's strong & masterful, Del Potro is pushing himself beyond his own limits. It's a titanic final. Both fighting for every point. EDIT: Apparently the final goes for a full 5 sets. I'm not even the biggest tennis fan but this is a treat.

Thinking I might wait until they patch the space freighters in. Want to wait until I get a couple of free days anyway and I love myself some space trucking.

Phone interview on Monday, face-to-face interview for another job Tuesday. Anxious but eager.

"When you see him, remind him that I have a particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career..."

You're on a mission. To explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before.

Wondering if I shouldn't plow through and finish Doom and/or Bayonetta 2 before I get this, I'm up to my neck in AAA+ backlog as it is. Games are just too god damn good right now.

Giving the job hunt another turn with the new Uni term bearing down on us in a few weeks, the University continuing to expand rapidly and the store already operating over capacity with never enough schedule hours through the year. Off to a slightly irritating start. Need to respond to a barely-decipherable voice message that sounds like it was left by one the with a phone number that doesn't work. Didn't realize HSBC had call centers in Titanica.

Oh no that's terrible! We lost another good one without even realizing it.

God, I'd forgot about that. I hope so. Might depend on how publishing-legals work out but region locks get more pointless on every format every year.

I bought a refurbished 40" TV because I DESERVE NIcE THINGS.

I vote that we wait for Nintendo to confirm it all and then we shut this thread down. I want it recorded for posterity. PS. This all sounds pretty much what everyone was probably expecting. Bring me my single Nintendo & PC future.

I have it on good authority that the NX is a Grey African parrot named Larry. For just a few hundred dollars he will laugh at you and shred your bed sheets while you're not looking.

I do play console. Admittedly I've never faced a high stack of Tallbjorks (usually a couple in any one game) but always found they rarely lasted long against D.Va mech up close, a few distant rounds from Widowmaker or any decent projectile attack from behind a Reindhardt shield. I've also found that if you can get close you can circle around and it struggles to keep a bead while firing. I've even managed to destroy a few just with D.Va's pistol this way. Range, health, targeting or turning speed all seem like more obvious adjustments to me.

The console-exclusive turret reduction is the part that interests me, they're dangerous for sure but easy for a team to counter with effort. I hope Beardy McVikingface doesn't get nerfed too much as a result.

We're 137 pages into this damn thread still and we still know nothing. It could still be a hamster in a ball rolling around on a tablet and for all we know. It's actually kind of amazing.

Another add-on for Battlefield 4 is free (Naval Strike) so grab it while it's there.

Daww, that's so nice! I really feel at a time when so many franchises are getting rebooted/revived Ghostbusters is actually a refreshing example of how/why it might be worth doing. An all-female cast is a worthy attempt at changing the dynamic and creating something positive, as does introducing more PoC & LGBTQ+ characters (Star Trek & Star Wars) as opposed to just rehashing the same ideas with more effects and the lead White Guy du jour (Jurassic World). I hope it does well.

First statement from May was read by Chris Grayling, scuttlebutt via Robert Peston is he'll be the next chancellor.
