Let's look at the silver lining here. Sure, the response to an ill-advised ad campaign for ****ty beer was, let's say... Disproportionate. Still, if the end result is a lot less people drinking ****ty beer, I call that a net positive. Granted, it's likely that a lot of those people are simply drinking different ****ty beer, but I'm an optimist, I like to think that at least a few of them switched to non-****ty beer and that's a win for humanity as a whole.

We always have people set off fireworks round here for a week prior and a week past July 4th. Luckily, I have no trouble sleeping through fireworks going off so it's whatever. I got home from work and really really really felt like skipping the weight lifting. As punishment for my moment of laziness and being a little bitch, I hit the weights extra hard. It's all about starting, doing that first set. Once the adrenaline starts flowing the rest of the workout is easy. I'm also happy to report that I'm now doing all exercises with the 20 lbs steel mace gripping it at the very end of the handle, as opposed to choked up 1/3 of the way up the handle how I started. At some point I'll likely pick up a 25 or 30 lbs steel mace.

Suzu Suzuki, all 5' 115 lbs of her, scoop slamming Paul Wight aka Big Show. This is completely believable. Dumping him on the back of his head with a german suplex for good measure. Again, completely believable. And, as an added bonus, throwing Luchasaurus down with a uranage.

Don't the PC versions of GamePass games stream from the cloud? How would you even mod that?

If Chyna can win the Intercontinental Championship (twice), I can win the TNT Championship with Suzu Suzuki.

The story mode in AEW Fight Forever is so incredibly cheesy that I kind of love it. I wound up losing my women's world championship in a 4-way match. The brass in AEW clearly knew no one could beat me fair and square in a 1 on 1 match, so they put in the fix by forcing me to defend my belt in a match where I didn't have to be pinned to lose the title, which is exactly what happened. Later on John Silver tried to recruit me into the Dark Order, but it was a ruse and Mr. Brodie Lee (R.I.P.) jumped me after a match. I wound up systematically defeating all his cronies then I took the TNT championship from him at the Full Gear PPV. Now I'm building toward an Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch at the Revolution PPV. Hopefully the pyro works better this time around.

I am also firmly in the TB > RTwP camp, even Larian's TB implementation. When I played Divinity: Original Sin, I thought the combat was far and away the best part of the game, even if a single battle could take an hour. It was everything else that I didn't like about the game.

I'm an equal opportunity ass kicker. I beat up both women and men. It looks like Scorpio Sky tried to cop a feel while I was hitting him with a Death Valley Driver. John Silver is enough of a goofball that I can actually see him saying something that corny. He wants me to join his jobber stable. Yeah, no thanks.

True. You have almost any other person on the planet deliver a Rock promo and it would come off as the corniest **** ever. The Rock's immense amount of natural charisma makes up for a lot of things, including his acting range, or lack there of.

AEW Fight Forever My Suzu Suzuki CAW that looks nothing like actual Suzu Suzuki. For reference, actual Suzu Suzuki: On the bright side, I was able to customize most of her moveset to reflect reality. Unfortunately the Tequila Shot (/points down to sig ) isn't in the game so she's back to using a german suplex as her finish. Kenny Omega actually looks pretty good, maybe a bit young, it looks like 2015 Kenny Omega. Matt Jackson, on the other hand, looks derpy as ****. Some top tier writing. I'm already the champ, where do I go from here?

I'm sure it will still have some of the 20 year old Gamebryo bugs that they never bothered to fix.

I started playing AEW Fight Forever. This will obviously get compared to the WWE 2K games, which is both to be expected and not completely fair. On the one hand, WWE games have been made for decades and this is a first outing for AEW, on the other hand it's made by Yuke's who used to make the WWE games. They went for a more arcadey feel like the N64 wrestling games, most famously WWF No Mercy. In that sense, I'd say it's a success. The game is easy to pick up and play and legitimately fun. It doesn't have the level of depth of current WWE games, but you can't expect that from a first outing. The amount of modes on hand is fairly generous. The story mode is a mixed bag. Each week you can do 4 things and then you have a match on the show. You can train which gives you skill points but drains energy and comes with chance of injury, you can go out to eat, which recharges energy, you can go sightseeing or do a meet & greet which improves mood, and you can play mini-games which can earn you money. There are several weeks of standard TV shows then the PPV. Most of the dialogue is not voiced and the writing is CRINGE. In terms of presentation this game won't get any awards for graphics. They went for a more cartoony style and some characters look pretty good and some look hilariously derpy. In terms of creating your own wrestler, the move customization is impressive. There are a lot of moves available in a whole bunch of categories (though some moves I'd love to see in the game are missing) giving you a lot of options with which to customize your wrestling style. In terms of appearance, though, the game comes up rather short. You only get a few faces to choose from and about a dozen hair styles. Gear options are... The basics are there but beyond that the game is lacking. Hopefully modders step up and add a lot more gear options. Overall I'd say that it's a solid first effort and a good base for future games. It's fun to play, which is the most important part, but the game is definitely lacking in some areas.

Dry rub for the win.

Happy 4th of July to all our Murican forumites!

Dread Delusion It's got Sega Saturn-esque graphics and the models all kinda wobble, the textures are atrocious; by all rights I should hate the look of this game. But I don't. I can see why people have been comparing this to Morrowind. I definitely got that same feeling that I did the first time I stepped onto the shore of Vvardenfell, everything just seems so weird and alien. I'm on some kind of floating island, the sky is purple, there are humongous mushrooms, flying ships, weird mechanical constructs. I love the vibe. The game is still in early access, so I'll mostly just mess around with it for now to get a feel for the systems. I haven't had a chance to try out spell casting yet. Once it fully releases I'll attempt a full playthrough. I don't usually do early access, but it was on sale because of the Steam Summer Sale and this seems like it would be my jam, Sega Saturn/PS1 graphics notwithstanding.

Oldie but goodie:

Insurance fraud is the greatest. It's such a simple mini-game, you run into traffic and get ragdolled. And yet, it's endlessly entertaining.

Plot Twist: You get to play Torment: Tides of Numenera in D4. Also, D4 is D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die.

I went to a BBQ yesterday. The weather was spectacular, save for the fact that it was hot as ****, but it's July in Cackalacky, it comes with the territory. My friend Thiago is the grill master. We bring him the meats and he grills them; my dude is a freakin' magician on the grill, plus he makes amazing chimichurri. An utterly obscene amount of food, meat and otherwise, was consumed. I brought kielbasa from the Polish store, there was steak, wings, pork belly, and the surprise hit from the previous cookout, chicken hearts. After I got home I was in a food induced coma on the couch for several hours. Good times!

@HurlshortDid you get to fire any rifle (M16?) in full auto? If you go by movies then everyone fires assault and battle rifles full auto all the time (from the hip for extra accuracy ), however they are generally more effective when fired in semi auto. Full auto has its uses, for example suppressive fire, but semi auto is used a lot more than full auto. That said, full auto is SUPER fun to shoot.

The LEGENDARY Scott Steiner math promo: My favorite part... I mean, I love everything about this promo, but keep an eye on Petey Williams' face. You can see the wheels inside his head spinning as he tries to follow Big Poppa Pump's math. The best part is that in a twisted, warped, fantasy land, the Steiner math actually adds up. The longer you listen to this promo, your chances of winning drastic go down.

Broken Roads demo It seems to be Aussie Fallout with a pinch of Banner Saga. Come to think of it, Aussie Fallout would just be Mad Max, except I've not met anyone wearing bondage gear yet. No world map, it seems, you just go from place to place with (random?) encounters along the way. The art style is quite nice. And that's the last of the demos I downloaded during NextFest. Phew, that was a lot of games.
