Yeah, I don't really like the idea that one bad game tanks a company anyways, even though I got burned by Fallout 76. I mean, Fallout 4 and Skyrim were both very good games, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt for a bit longer than one bad title.

I went for a group trail run today on a mountain. We meet at the bottom, then drive about halfway up to the end of the paved road. Then we run about a mile and a half up to a trail head and run through the woods for awhile. It was beautiful and not too smokey, but the wind started picking up in the last couple miles. We started hearing a ton of trees creaking, and dirt and dust was kicking up all over. It was pretty intense. We saw a couple trees fall and tried to regroup near strong redwoods. We made it out alright and got back down to the car, but on the drive down, a tree had collapsed and blocked the road. Thanfully we got out and were able to push it aside as a group. Quite an adventure!

It isn't Epic exclusive.

These games aren't competing with one another, people. They are all coming out years apart, so I am pretty sure they can all exist and be enjoyed in the same marketplace. We aren't exactly saturated with these types of games.

You can holster your gun in the game.

Oh, forgot to add that I rewatched part if Dolomite today with my wife, and it definitely hold up as the best movie I have seen in ages. I didn't realize how much I missed Eddie Murphy on screen. How is thia movie based on a true story. Go watch it people!

My son is full swing into the hockey season. I love watching him play the game, but I also love that they built a bar above the rinks where you can watch all the different practices and games. So I am relaxing with an IPA, watching him skate after my long and cold bike ride this morning. It's a good Saturday.

I get the Scorcese sentiment in that these big action movies are not leaning on acting and direction the way more traditional films do. They do feel like theme parks, but I don't see that as a bad thing. They are big and fun, and they still require decent acting to seem believable. Honestly, there should be different categoeies for them. There shouldn't be a best picture. You should have different genres that stand on their own. Scorcese is a master of a specific type of film. Why does he need to tear down other types?

You were a brave soul to try it. I figure I will try it after my first play of just enjoyong the story and setting.

I mean, assuming you had the right computer, floppy disk drive, video card, sound card, ram, OS, and ability to configure that stuff when the game didn't run.

Buying it on the Windows store would be a fairly direct gain for Obsidian, though, since they were bought by Microsoft.

FFXV on the PS4 had crazy load times. I used to grade papers while waiting for new areas to load.

Dolemite was amazing. Absence clearly makes the heart grow fonder, because Eddie Murphy had my grinning ear to ear the whole time. He was just fantastic. I don't want to say more, just watch it. Don't even look into the story, just go watch it and read about it after.

I mean, it's not a murder spree simulator, so it is weird to me that people want it to react better when you do stuff way off the narrative and design of the game.

Police tend to make more than teachers, although not a lot more. They also have pretty solid retirement plans. Plus you are supposed to be in good shape if you are on the force, so they should do better than us educators on those sugar daddy websites. I mean, my rockin' body is an exception, most teachers are pretty soft.

I think it just means it sells for more moolah.

I don't get the windows store hate. I think if you have windows 10, it's already installed actually. It's a pretty basic launcher. It doesn't look anything like the old games for windows live deal from the past. TOW is surprisingly decent as a shooter, so far. Big improvement over Fallout: NV in that regard. Plus it is gorgeous. Like, I can just stare at everything longer than I should. The vibe has a bit of Fallout, but I'd say it is much more like a Firefly/Serenity RPG than anything else. Very good world building so far. Much more up my alley than Pillars.

Heh, probably a bit of early hyperbole, but the initial world that has been built makes me feel like I've got a new interesting universe to explore, and it compares favorably to Fallout.

The Outer Worlds - So far it is everything I ever wanted in a game. I am only a few minutes in, mind you, but it is off to a fantastic start. Like Fallout but better.

Damn you Obsidian, this is the last straw!

I have no issue requiring the police to have the same level of education as an educator. BA or BA plus a year of police academy, then a year of student teaching, err, student policing? Heh, I like it, but I don't know i it will ever happen.

Eh, I mean Obsidian and Bethesda do have similar color schemes.

That truth bomb you just threw should be a war crime.

Ah, to live a life without doubt.
