Bethesda-riasis

It's got me bad. When they said Far Harbor was their biggest dlc to date... they weren't foolin'

Game of Thrones finally made me cry.

Every once in a while, a piece of entertainment moves me to tears. I can count on one hand the number of times it's happened, it can't be more than 4. I won't go into detail for obvious spoiler reasons but damn... Thrones is now just as good as The Iron Giant! If that makes any sense.

The international trailer for Ghostbusters is too hot to handle.

And yet, paradoxically, also too cold to hold.

Watch the new international #Ghostbusters trailer now, and see it at Cinemas July 11.https://t.co/Ee6yZxs0Vi

If I don't post anything for a while...

 

Then I've come down with a case of bethesda-dlc-riasis. It's very serious. It can take one or even two days to get over.

Duskers, anyone?

I kind of hate the way it looks, but that is some rip roaring intrigue shooting out of that trailer. I'm genuinely impressed with the writing from what I've seen but... a whole game in night vision? I don't know if the writing alone is  enough to make my debit card hand slip. We'll see. $20 seems a little steep, I'd really need a demo first. I don't want another experience like The Long Dark. A really good idea with half the budget it needs.

When you're right, you're right.

 

If any of you have gotten around to listening to the new Chamberlain and Chance, Chance has a few things to say about Doom. Mostly that it's awesome and I'm inclined to agree. We've spent almost a decade stuck popping out from behind cover... it's high time that changed.

The moment to moment gameplay is just as you remember it. Less this:




And more:

 

It's manic but there's strategy to the mania. Headshots don't matter as much, bullets go 60 miles an hour, and I've had to forget 7 years of FPS rules. Not to mention there's a power up that essentially turns you into pac man and all the demons into blue ghosts. This game is FUN at all costs. I'll drink to that. 

Dammit Chance! Is this what you want?!

Wow, a bonus! I should prudently invest this into my savings acou-  Hey look! Doom's waving at me from across the street.

...I'm gonna go see what he wants.
