Not really, I did get spooked a bit dodging the weird killer spheres but I scare easily anyway. It's about as scary as Alan Wake I guess, just in terms of setting and things going on that you see the aftermath of. Finished the second DLC, that was okay, those fights with Hartman were a pain, Langston is one bright point, his monologuing and freestyle poetry, hah. All in all, 21 hours spent on the game, not bad, may tool around a bit more with side missions but don't feel the urge to do the grind (kudos to Remedy to give us a cinematic of Trench talking about 'endless grind' to start off the endgame).

From the weapons manufacturer I always thought it was like 'loch' but sort of dragging the 'h' sound out more.

I completely forgot E3 was on. Sounds like someone's got marketing written all over him. Shepard Soap - You'll bang, OK ?

Bioware needs to make some Mass Effect soaps.

Finished the Foundation DLC for Control, that was fun. End boss fight was difficult muddled through it eventually. Launch definitely not the "I Win" button it was in the base game, hah. Cool story though, missed the Former at the end in the distance. Will go back and play the train mission as I hear that was enjoyable - although doubt it will top the Ashtray Maze.

I always feel sorry for the people being questioned by legislators, so often it's so much theatre, heh.

They should track down who did that though, can't just allow sensitive personal info to be leaked. Also, people say they will do a lot of things in meetings, hah.

Got a cool nurse, she actually knew what I referenced when I said "My vision is augmented".

Agent 47s cover is nice

The key question here is : Why were you watching that show ?

Summer Sale is on. Sleeping Dogs at $3 is great, although I'm sure everyone has that by now, 60% off Grim Dawn too.

Today I get my first vaccine dose.

Some funny lyrics in this "My friend says he wants to die He's in a band, they sound like Pearl Jam Their clothes are all black The music is crap"

Well, they have Assist Mode you can turn on, tones down enemy damage, even has a toggle for god mode or being able to one shot all enemies, which is nice if you just want to enjoy the story. The shooty bits is really the weakest part of the game, anyway.

Finished Control, had a bit of trouble with the 3rd stage of that last fight but otherwise was ok. Definitely lack the reflexes for this game, heh. But was enjoyable, really dug the setting and the writing's good for me - The Board has some amusing lines. 16 hours in total, not too shabby I suppose. Now to knock off the DLCs.

I dunno. That's like asking someone who barely passed Engineering to tea..... I see what you mean.

People will write mean things about them online. But that's all people ever write online, really. But can't really see the horror in the absolute worst case in that corporations use rainbow logos for a month.

The true gems are the comments that say "Stuff like this makes me hate gays". Just is comic to understand the reasoning there. Well, for at least this example, an arms manufacturer has enough reasons for people to dislike it.

I forget, why do people get bent up about virtue signaling ?

Surprised they didn't make the villain a Hessian that looked like Himmler in that movie.
