Oh I did a bad thing. Really really bad thing. I got a new smartphone last week and I re-downloaded Hearthstone. First time I played it in over a year... Oh this was a mistake. Big big mistake.

I'm going to go play Zelda as well. In my Zelda I mean more Hearthstone.

I can see a lot of PC gamers sharing your sentiment, as games on pc are already very much devalued. But on console it's the price of 3 new games, which doesn't seem very expensive to me seeing how many games I've played on it, and I'm not even factoring in the price of (the included) xBLGold as I hardly game online.


I found the questions of what influence a large service such as GP could have on the industry to be the more interesting part.

You say games are devauled on PC, I say plenty of stuff on consoles is overvalued, e.g. online. How they can get away for charging for online play on consoles is beyond me.

That being said, the price difference for a similar experience between consoles and PC equalise to a large degree due to the price of PC parts.

Sony announces next-gen VR headset for the PS5

Yep, 'announces' is the right term.  They're giving absolutely no details at this time, other than that it'll be higher res and all cables will be bundled into one cable.  And 'some functions' of the dual sense controllers will be incorporated in new VR controllers.  I'm putting my money on buttons.  They'll definitely add some buttons to it like they did on their new controller.

All seriousness aside, haptics could mean a lot for VR games.  All.  Kinds.  Of.  Games.

The second event for Super Mario Bros. 35 is on. We need to defeat 350 million Goombas. I’m expecting 300 million from Robio, minimum. Let’s do this!

Unfortunately I'm occupied with Dungeons & Dragons with coworkers at the moment though. But I'll squeeze in time to kill a couple million tonight.

Tried the Feynex Rising demo. This game desperately wants to be BOTW but it's just awful. Crappy combat and controls, annoying constant voice over. Terrible character designs. What the hell happened to ubisoft?

Tried the Project Triangle demo, seems excellent so far. Basically if you loved Octopath Traveler you will love this. Love how you can rotate the camera. Looks even more beautiful. Story doesn't seem as compelling so far but I've only seen one scene and I'm fairly early on.

In the sale I bought Broken Sword 5. I only played the first game but loved it so much. Hopeful this game is good. Wish I could get a collection, other than PC. Bought all the Telltale Batman games for the price of a burger. I expected it to be all cutscenes but was still surprised that it was. I don't mind as I love Batman and its quite enjoyable to pretend to play.

I wonder how long before Nintendo's lawyers go after those Mii Channel music remixes.

Snow is all gone on my island in Animal Crossing and now the grass is all brown. It even sounds sloppy and icky running around on it and it’s raining. Eww.

My boy was pretty upset that the snow's gone already.  They started playing again last week and he hadn't had the chance to build a snowman yet.

I've started a new playthrough of Catherine Full Body and am trying to go for an as devious playthrough as possible.  I've noticed that it's much easier to do so, as reacting as a complete ass all the time is easier than walking the thin and narrow straight line as the gentle filantropic doo gooder that I am in real life.

So far the differences in story are minimal though.  The only changes are some inner monologue, like how you react to the news that your partner might be pregnant, where you're either thinking you need to take responsibility or have thoughts about this dragging you down.

I think you're confusing 'making snowmen' with corona virus.

Like I said, they hadn't played for months and just came back to it last week.

Yeah it didn’t seem to last too long. I wish the snow here would work on Animal Crossing time. Got tons of snow here and it’s going to take quite some time for it to all melt away.

On one hand games like AC that run on a schedule can be kind of cool. However they run on a schedule so you got to play them on their time so it can feel like a chore and you can miss out on things if you can’t play them at specific times.

Next years pokémon game looks to finally live up to the series potential with what seems like a true open world.  Pokémon Legends Arceus.  I haven't been too interested in pokémon games for a long time now, but I'd get Legends if it is indeed a true open world reinvention of the games.
