    Prey - scifi/horror game by Arkane

    You've not seen far enough in to judge that - there's some pretty amazing moments in Prey that I'd put nearly on par minus the pop culture influence. (which was cool as shit in the Bioshocks) And I personally disagree with the comparison to Bioshocks myself - it compares closer to System Shock...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Last I checked "permanent accounts" are still permanent. Reminds me I should probably try to get my old login back for that one of mine. (Ancient email address with a dead provider - it'll be annoying, but likely worth it)

    Prey - scifi/horror game by Arkane

    I'd suggest if you can muster the willingness to chuck $1.50-$3 at it, try it via Redbox for 1 day if you're still curious but the demo isn't clicking - honestly, the first two areas are very lacking when it comes to the overall game - they give you a general idea of the feel of everything but...

    Verizon launches gigabit FIOS for $70/month

    I usually would do bushels (most of my crabs I did with family) - so a jumbo bushel would sometimes have a few sneaking in that small, but I'd be ticked the rare times I was only getting a couple and got some that were under a hand sized for a jumbo. (I assume you're talking claw to claw for...

    As I've gotten past the first couple bits - I've got a starting tip... [Doing Redbox PS4 route myself - with my pace, and putting off platinum until it's on sale next year or so - probably will net me a cost of $6-7 I'm guessing since I started it with a freebie coupon]

    Prey - scifi/horror game by Arkane

    Enjoying it a ton so far, and it actually is semi-open world, there's a little gating, but far more fluid for areas than most stuff these days. (Besides open-worlds, obv - far less gated than Deus Ex for example) Difficulty level is brutal though, I'm playing on Easy (really rare for me) and I...

    Installing now. And Droig, its definitely not linear, demo made it clear in quite a few spots.

    Kingdom Death Monster(Tabletop Sim)

    Armor Points reset when you DEPART - not familiar with the event in question so I can't answer - but it should say "depart to fight..." or "...without departing" or similar.... and if it doesn't say, Rule of Death would make it the worst option.

    I'm debating it a little still - I'm not entirely happy with it, but el wife is into it as well and she'll need more entertainment while she's adjusting to me going back to normal office work vs working at home and she was intrigued by the demo. (And I will say, muses I came up with second time...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    To me, it's just an indicator that I've not really missed anything of value in the game. In the pre-trophy days I'd always find out about some little easter egg or event that I missed and never went back for (or did eons later - ChronoTrigger I didn't start working on alternate endings until...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I'm a bit more cautious with my optimism more than I normally would be though - Fury in the series breaks from the normal Horseman mythos so much I'm afraid it might be jarring to me. I'd be far less dubious with a more normal PC for the mythos.

    If that's my spot, don't expect me - not sure what's going on, but my energy is crashing hard today - so I'll be bowing out tonight as well unless I get a second wind after dinner.

    Light spoilers: Also with the three real endings (non-game loss ones - there are a few special game loss ones apparently too) I know they basically force you to make a hard save ("OMG! BIG STUFF HAPPENING IN A SEC, YOU PROBABLY WANT TO SAVE!" message with a Y/N toggle) before you make the...

    You can play Gwent: The Witcher Card Game on PS4 this weekend I guess it's not impossible they decided to drop bothering with PS4, but that seems unlikely.

    Gwent did a beta - not sure if it's currently active, but they're absolutely developing for it.

    And got it, but they want me to train in the evenings - I'm out for the foreseeable future. (I imagine I'll be done training quicker than they say, since this is a step back - but their expectation is 4 weeks since it's loads of paperwork related stuff) Long run it's probably gaming friendly...

    So that's what input lag feels like... ok, that explains a bit. (I mostly wrenched in the demo - so it wasn't too absolutely clear - but it did feel like my shotgun was aimed poorly - didn't realize why.... makes sense now)

    Indeed - same down in at least this section of FL - I don't miss much from MD, but FIOS and Old Bay being used in restaurants are definitely two of the things I do miss.

    Compared to ME2 DLC? It was on par with Kasumi which was the weakest of the real ME2 DLC. Give me an Arrival or Shadow Broker any day over BDtS.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Perhaps - I did mostly play ME1 out of order - I only dabbled with it before ME2 because the gameplay turned me off so much. So having massive spoilers from being out of order might have tainted me some. But to me it doesn't feel that way. (But at the same time - the "benefactor" and Remnant...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    I've got a feeling that David coached her through it.... it seems sensible for that to be part of the knowledge for him to be programmed with would be self-maintenance. All he'd have to do is explain what he'd do to her assuming she wasn't already familiar. (IIRC he was still a head capable of...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I'd tend to disagree - barring nuances of fleshing out the universe you can do a few paragraphs to sum up the entire plotline of the game. Entire planets in a summary would only be worth a single sentence after all. (i.e. the Thorian and Exo-Geni worlds). If someone wrote a 100 page novella of...

    I'm actually sort of wondering (was musing with the Gamestop guy today [who apparently bought my Amazon copy, lol] in fact) - if it will be looked at higher by many people once Andromeda 2 or whatever hits. It mirrors ME1 in so many ways with development being "weak" because they're wasting so...

    The more I play other stuff again, I'm starting to come around to what they've been saying. I'm sure my OCD will make me do the trophies at some point, but there's a million things that pop in mind to do before it. Even non-games like trophying a Telltale thing.

    Poor is entirely relative isn't it? I buy everything I want and still have tons going into savings each month. When I was a kid I could blow through $10k in a week and still have tons of wants, I did feel poor then. Now being older and earning approx $5k/mo while having expenses around $2k/mo...

    Shrug, just speaking factually - before she got fat she would show ribcage in a swimsuit.... and was 160 at the time... (And I'm not sure of bra size then since we weren't dating yet, but I would guess she was a C at the time - I'm positive smaller regardless)

    Prey - scifi/horror game by Arkane

    Bioshocks were RADICALLY stripped down from System Shock formula. Hell, most parts of all three ignored the fundamental of "alternate approaches" and railroaded you through a linear path (although rarely you could do a few things slightly out of order). They were good games, but they missed so...

    I'm usually the same on live recordings with a few exceptions (PJ, Floyd and Garbage are the only "current" bands I've enjoyed their live sets consistently) - PJ live really just comes across as tweaked versions of studio though due to how consistent they are.

    1) She's still aiming to lose a few lbs, sure (her goal is 140, she's at 180-190 now - considering she'd been nearly 280 at her peak though I find it hard to say she's fat anymore - not even sure with her frame and breast size that 140 will even be possible, frankly) 2) Negative. Never been in...
