Oh he can be, some times phelps is just a straight up wanker, but i find it hilarious, and it means he has faults so i like him more as a character because of it.


Oh definitely, I sit there sometimes and I'm like ''you asshole''.

Apparently it was Coax, Force, and Lie, not accuse.

Battlefront II and Overwatch are about to be investigated by the Belgian Gaming Commission. There are accusations of seducing people to gamble, for some reason. Valid reasons, even. EA hasn't responded yet.

That’s why I stopped playing. That happens every update. Even when I backup a save file, it will just be corrupted by nothing.

I've started playing Elite Dangerous for the first time in a long while; I'm actually having a lot of fun with it, even if trying to get money can be a chore.

I remember when I tried playing that, and I could do literally nothing because everything was so complex.
Then I showed it to a friend...and he thrived.

Yeah, I had the same problem, to be completely honest. Then suddenly, I replayed the tutorial missions yesterday and everything sorta clicked into place. I'm far from good, but like I said it's still lots of fun. :lol:

Controller helps loads. Look over controls. Docking computer is nice until you get the hang of it.

Guys, it's not gambling, it's sense of accomplishment, pride and progression. Now pull the level and see what temporary gameplay booster you unlocked!

Let's hope this will be the turning point for corporate greed in AAA gaming. Big new games are out of fresh ideas, except when it comes to getting the most money out of the customer. Monetary policies is the only section videogames innovate these days.

Okay...I'm officially a bit disappointed in EA. I mean...I liked the campaign,
It was a little too cliche. I mean, an Imperial defecting to the Rebels all because she wanted to get some extra civilians off of her homeworld? Also, what ever happened to "We wanted it to be from an Imperial point of view because it's never been done in that fidelity before?"

Oh and also, I wish they allowed players to choose which eras they want to fight in multiplayer. Cause I really wanted to play in the Clone Wars, but the servers decided to stick me in the Empire and First Order eras...

It's going to end at the end of 2017.

So...one-and-a-half more month for you.

I have to say, I am really enjoying my Nintendo Switch. :) The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Edition, and ARMS are all a blast to play.

Shouldn't be getting new games at this point, given that half of my existing library is gathering dust, yet I went and got NieR:Automata.
