I had an ok time finishing Origins but I had a great time finishing Odyssey. I don’t know why, I’m a huge ancient Egypt fan but overall the Greek Islands were so gorgeous. Great review btw!

My son plays Teardown in sandbox mode and when you start using some of the mods you can cause some crazy situations where the calculation of particles and objects brings your framerate to a crawl. Also Cities: Skylines 2 seems to be putting my machine through its paces.

Holy crap @Lauren Morton , you talking about the snap open jewel cases from the library unlocked a core memory! I played a ton of edutainment as a kid on the Apple II at school or the library. Oregon Trail, Path Tactics, Storybook Weaver, Kings Quest IV, and Odell Lake are the ones that I...

Slay the Spire. On Ascension 12 of 20 on the last character (the Watcher). Once I wrap that I'll either go to Balatro or back to MTG: Arena for my deckbuilding fix. Just felled Margit on my second playthrough of Elden Ring. God I love this game.

Pretty much any launcher outside of Steam I'm putting up with just because I have to. Rockstar Launcher (sucks) Paradox Launcher (sucks) Epic Games (tolerable) X-Box App (sucks - too many steps for cross-platform voice chat) Battle.net Launcher (tolerable)

The yellow paint was very immersion killing in the RE4 remake. I've noticed the yellow ropes and ziplines in Horizon Zero Dawn, Dying Light, and in plenty of other games that have light platforming. It really didn't bother me until I was trying to put an end to Las Plagas and rescue the...

Almost 156K points now. I just realized you can buy steam startup videos with them which is kind of dope. I don't have a steam deck but I do use big picture mode on my tv so I'm definitely gonna get one asap.

Rolled the credits on Resident Evil 4 Remake in hardcore difficulty. Had a great time replaying the game. One thing that's common for all of the current-gen Resident Evil games is they put a TON of detail into the environments and the asset models. What's even greater about it is they...

I started a new playthrough this weekend (my second). All this talk regarding SotE got me eager to go back to the lands between. My last build was pure strength / endurance. This one I’m going for dexterity / intelligence. It’s exciting to be walking into Limgrave feeling way more certain...

A fantastic system/feature in the WB games Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War is the Nemesis system. I would love to see this implemented in other games, however it is patented so it will likely stay with WB games exclusively.

I bought Elden Ring for $40 and it ended up being #13 out of my top 100 games of all time. I'll happily shovel out money for the DLC at full price. The value I got for the base game is enormous.

Now that Elden Ring is gonna have DLC I have to change my answer to, "maidenless".

*gasp*

Arise now, ye tarnished, ye dead who yet live. The call of long lost grace speaks to us all! https://www.pcgamer.com/elden-ring-shadow-of-the-erdtrees-reveal-trailer-is-finally-here-release-date-set-for-june/

I'd also probably pay money for Warzone if they brought Verdansk back.
