Weinstein sex scandal seems to be 'growing' so yeah... I don't like Ken Levine though, the guy is basically the male version of Ayn Rand.

Yup. BioShock: Infinite has the worst gameplay in my opinion. The guns handle better compared to BioShock 1 & 2 but the level design is so awful you barely get to use the environment against the enemy. The second DLC was pretty good though. Gameplay is solely based on stealth and survival and the story is good if you are willing to go through the mind-numbing story of the main campaign and the first DLC. Overall BioShock 2 was the most entertaining game in the series for me and ironically, it is the only BioShock game that Ken Levine didn't work on(directly). Anybody remembers this? Here are all the changes explained in more detail: There is also a video interview of Ken Levine explaining BioShock for the first time and making ludicrous promises such as the main character being able to change the size of his sexual organ...couldn't find it on YouTube though. Being restricted to consoles? Not enough budget? Only Ken knows!

I'm really surprised they haven't slashed the price yet. Maybe they're waiting to get closer to X-Mas? You'd think it makes more sense to do it right around the release of the XBox X since it would be kind of like, "why buy that new, $550 console when you can buy this impressive PS4 Pro for half that!". If they wait until Christmas (or Boxing Day sales), they'll have stiff competition from XBox also similarly lowering prices. True. I've been a Sony fan since 2009 but they are slowly starting to wear out their welcome. -not allowing the PS Vita to work with the regular SD cards -tieng PS Vita to 1 account -abandoning the PS Vita -no backwards compatibility whatsoever on the PS4 -PS Plus getting more expensive -PS Plus giving users a whole lot less bang for their buck compared to the PS3 era -PS TV -PS Now -no true 4K support for most titles -no support for 1080 @60fps gaming The only upper hand that they have right now are exclusives. Xbox on the other hand is introducing backwards compatibility for old Xbox titles I could never get my hands on elsewhere: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-10-23-original-xbox-star-wars-kotor-downloadable-ahead-of-back-compat-launch That is pretty impressive. I was going to upgrade my PS4 to a PS4 Pro but nope, I could buy an Xbox One X for a little more.

I doubt it. The new Mario game simply looks phenomenal.

A Hat in Time can what Yookan't?! Have to finish both sometime later until I can decide but if there was one game that really didn't deserve the hate it got this year, it was Yooka-Laylee...and PREY of course.

Dad ain't giving me money, otherwise I'd be playing Dragon's Dogma on the PS4 right now. Oh well, back to Shadow warrior 2.

Shadow Warrior 2 was well worth the 25 bucks I spent on it. It's like an open-world Serious Sam/Doom/Painkiller with loot and upgrades. It's a pretty fun game to pick up and play anytime you want.

To me it sounds very soothing, calms the mood for some reason. I love me some Dark Ambient music every now and then. Sunn O))) & Ulver

Not sure how you hallucinate on weed since, well, it isn't a halluconogen. Though having a sweaty butt and being confused by a fart because it turned into a wet fart is possible. Dude, please do share with us. What is a halluconogen?!

Shadow Warrior 2 is a very relaxing shooter. Using different upgrades on different loot and experimenting with them on the enemies is a whole lot of fun.

Oh man, I'm in:

Not much gameplay footage, but oh well...

Saw them live twice back in the days, once at the rebirth concert in Vienna and once at the Kaltenbach Openair Festival. I talked to Jon actually...good times! R.I.P Jon Nödtveidt...you were one helluva musician.

Couldn't have said it better. My brother works as an architect in Vienna and the time he spent at Moser Architects during 2009-2011 was terrifying! At one point they told them that either they will finish the hotel at schönborn by the end of September or they'll pay a fine of 300.000 Euros and you know something is not right when some of the employees have to take cocaine and speed at the same time just to get the job done and then spend a week at a sanitarium...can't imagine the gaming industry being any better. A new gaming industry crash?! It could happen.

One of the European/German hidden gems I keep hearing about is Darklands. I bought it during a steam sale and I might give it shot one of these days. I agree. The little time I spent playing Drakensang and Gothic 1 felt very deep and rewarding.

Thanks man, much appreciated.

My take on VR? Short and simple: I don't have the money! PS VR is affordable but at this point am not sure whether it's VR or 'The Poor Man's VR'. It has a few good games and a ton of filler low budget 'VR experiences'. The only thing that caught my attention was this VR game called Apollo 11. I would love to know the terror the astronauts felt while travelling through the darkness that is space. Scary stuff! But yeah, good VR to me right now is the HTC Vive and that thing is not only expensive, but it also needs a very capable PC to support it.

I am pretty sure that Fluvoxamine hasn't caused me anything that I would describe as manic episode. What it does though is that it takes care of my OCD problems, anxiety and the major depression episode that always comes after a Hypomania episode. SSRI in general can be used for treating a patient that is diagnosed with Bipolar II but just like with any other treatment, it must be under supervision of a therapist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_II_disorder#Treatments

World War 3 reminds me of Half-Life 3...it keeps getting pushed back!

I do have one but this is as good as it gets. 30% of people who are diagnosed with Bipolar II end up taking their own lives. It took some trials and errors before I could find the right therapist but in the end I did somehow. He prescribed me with the kind of SSRI that worked for me which happens to be Fluvoxamine in my case. The right SSRI will hold you off from depression but it also kills your sex drive. That and you can't go cold turkey on them, otherwise you'll have to start all over again with the therapist and a larger dose of the said medication. It doesn't have a threshold though, there isn't any sort of addiction or recreational feel to it which is a good thing...I don't like feeling like a lowlife even though I am one.

I once did hallucinate on pot. I farted and I was 100 % sure I had crapped my pants, the bad thing about it was that I was in a friends car and I had to ask him to pullover near a freeway. It was pretty odd though, I checked my pants and nothing was there. I also hallucinated on Acid once but in general, hallucinations don't occur much with me. I don't drink or smoke but pot is a regular thing. Years ago when I was busy studying computer science in Austria/Vienna I suddenly had to leave my studies and go back home because mom was diagnosed with a rather strange kind of cancer(Nasopharyngeal Cancer). I stayed and mom eventually passed away two years after I returned. I stayed and didn't return to my studies in Europe and have been sitting at home ever since. So yeah, I need that stuff regularly, otherwise I have to think of how the tumor was popping my mothers eye out of her skull while she was still breathing... Life's pretty cruel...

Well then, Anthem will probably flee EA and join the Mujaheddin.
