I agree. It's like the racing games that won't show damage on the vehicles because the manufacturers don't want their cars shown as damaged. If I want to take Lebron's knees out from under him while he goes up for a layup, I should be allowed to, dang it. There are injuries in the 2K games, of course, but they're basically random. If I want to flagrantly foul a guy and get suspended for a few games, I am willing to take the penalty.

And there was something viscerally fun in playing with your friends with the stated goal of seeing who gets to 3 red cards (and a game over) first.

The battles in Battlestar Galactica Deadlock are cool, really enjoying it so far.

He's writing for Artifact 2, the Half-Life online TCG.

It looks like a combination of the Atlantic/Pacific Fleet games and Battlefleet Gothic: Armada. Seems to be decent.

It’s good to see that Ross seems to have defeated the mold. Also, the amount of editing he’s done for some of the gags is pretty impressive.

Anyone ever play Return to Castle Wolfenstein?

I had it on steam but my gaming laptop was too new/powerful for it to even work, so my nostalgia had to be curbed by The New Blood or The New Colossus, which were both fantastic games. Well, I found an unofficial HD patch for it and now I can play RtCW again. It’s nowhere near as sleek as shooters nowadays but it’s still highly nostalgic.

I have. And I still have an old XP machine that can play it too. Really, what kind of gamer doesn't?
Overall it's a fun little shooter. The campaign is kind of short if well made. And the multiplayer is way, way, way too fast for my liking. Overall I'd rate it 4 out of 5 as far as period shooters are concerned. But only because the theme is just so cool and inspired. Like seriously, occult magic Nazis.

An nintendo quote got blown out of proportion.

That moment when you experience the worst fortnite has to offer.....a whole team full of kids singing some rap song. I swear I was this close to loosing it. What's was you guys worst moment while playing a game? :shock:

I think that would have to be that one MVM game where beacuse of the most extreme lag I have ever seen every four seconds I was teleported back to where I was 4 seconds ago.

This also applied to shooting.

Kids rapping sounds like prime fun, but then again, I'm stuck in the days of 2009 CoD and Halo game chat, where getting a squad with the lads and roasting/shittalking little kids was the best thing ever.

Im so fuckin annoyed. Ive wanted an Alien Isolation sequel for ages, done in a similar way to Alien Isolation, but not like this.

What a fucking joke.

Heres hoping that Alien Shooter being done by Cold Iron looks decent when ever they show off something for it.

I guess they think mobile is the future, for unknown reasons.
