    Battlefield 2042

    I wish. They triple charged me when I tried to buy the currency for the gamepass, then refused to refund it, so I did a chargeback. turns out they just flat out ban anyone for doing that.

    Battlefield 2042

    EA decided to unban my account so I might give this another spin. TBH though, I'm quite enjoying the DMZ mode in CoD. Was going to try out the bf2042 equivalent but apparently it's completely dead?

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 2022

    thanks for the offer, but wouldn't you know. killed a guy who had the key then finished the mission on the next run. Game is so random like that

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 2022

    I'm stuck on the poppy farmer house since I seemed to have lost or destroyed the key for it you get from an earlier mission before I knew it was important. Now just hopping I randomly get it as a drop but pretty low chance

    Welcome to Chippendales

    I thought it was great overall, but the final episode felt a bit off in the pacing. Like a quick rush to the finish line compared to the rest of the series

    Roguelike... City Builder (Against the Storm)

    What's the end game on this? I reached the end of the tech tree, which I think is where Prestige starts? but couldn't work out what the progress beyond that was beyond grinding the prestige levels. I just put it down at that point and started something else and haven't gone back, even though I...

    Avatar 2 (2020)

    It was ok. Visuals were spectacular. Story was a bit more interesting than the first but convulated and trying to cram too much into without giving them a good enough foundation or time to breathe. Generally it was overly long and very indulgent for long stretches I'd give it around 70-80% of...

    National Treasure: Edge of History

    I love the movies and since I'm not a precious snowflake, I'll be sure to check it out. Looks like it has the original writers from the movies, who are pretty wonderful imo. they were happy to answer questions in the pre social media era

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 2022

    no matchmaking is probably a good idea but annoying when you don't have a crew to run with

    seems the patch has removed that particular smorgasbord. no crates outside anymore, have to venture inside for them

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 2022

    got myself a day off and ready to rock... and patch day. Having EQ flashbacks Some of these dmz missions are annoying as fuck. Beeen stuck on the 6 kill streak and kill 3 choppers with a specific gun loadout ones for ages now.

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 2022

    think I won DMZ last night. sniped a guy in the chopper as it was exfil and already high in the air. Pretty sure it's never going to get better than that.

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 2022

    Still wrapping my head around this DMZ stuff. Is there any overarching point to it beyond xp and enjoying the game mode?

    Europa Universalis IV

    I tend to be very lazy with my army sizes. I've tried looking into the theory of them and implementing them but it never seems to make a huge difference in my games. So I tend to stick to my standing compositions 10/4 (or 2 if money super tight early on)/1 -> 10/4/10 -> 16/4/20

    Soccer 2022–2023 (EPL, La Liga, etc)

    Wow, what an end to the Australianl game. Hate when games are so close they are decided by a moment of brilliance or a critical mistake and this had both. Apart from those 2 I felt we defended well and stopped Argentina from being too dangerous

    I completely missed that Christina Ricci was in this.

    Europa Universalis IV

    at this point, I'd recommend the pass too, certainly if you're trying it out for the first time. For most of EU4's life (can't believe it's 9 years old and I still play it!) I've bought whatever the previous dlc is when the new one is released since they always did a 75 or at least 50 % deal on...

    The Red Rising Trilogy - Pierce Brown [Sci-Fi]

    quite enjoying this series so far, quarter into book 3. I can't pinpoint anything amazing about it, but I find it very easy to read and keep wanting to go back to it. Grabbed the boardgame too, which is fun enough and very cool to see all the different characters on the various cards.

    Black Adam (2021)

    I didn't hate it as much as I thought I would. Going in with close to zero expectations certainly helps. Tonally and thematically, it's all over the place, and it's got as many holes in it as swiss cheese, but I enjoyed seeing a 'good' super hero with zero fucks given and no qualms about wasting...

    Europa Universalis IV

    Just work your way through the achievements list. The wiki has a nice page that lists their difficulty and sometimes tips. I've found it a great way to play nations I wouldn't consider otherwise: https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/Achievements

    Board Games

    So jelous of having that sort of solid group and time to get through these big content games. You could give KDM a try, though I felt like it was a weaker version of gloomhaven, but only played a couple of time. The above and below series, think there's 3 of them now. Pandemic Legacies...

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    Have to say, two campus feels like half a step back from two point hospital. Only a few maps in and doesn't feel challenging at all, and a lot of the QOL are worse. nothing major but little things like training up peeps and even hirering them.

    The Orville

    amazon book Supposedly an episode that they decided couldn't / wouldn't be filmable so released as a novella. Pretty interesting, though it's very stand alone as has no bearing on the rest of the show. Half of it isn't even in the show really

    The Terminal List

    anyone got a link handy to the differences / changes between the series and the book? Decided to start reading from book 2 but it seems there's a few differences already, so want to plug those gaps
