    Amazon’s Mass Effect TV series is actually going to be made

    So The Expanse, which was critically acclaimed and started to get really good got cancelled so they could make some cheesy sci-fi nobody wants? :rolleyes:

    Xbox console sales continue to crater with massive 42% revenue drop

    Aside from what's been said, brand confusion on Microsoft's naming convention has a part to play. The latest is an Xbox series X... what? I get that Microsoft is worried the XBox 4 isn't numerically equal in name to a PS5... but c'mon. You screw with naming and consumers don't want to figure it...

    Alan Wake 2

    Didn't know the tip about NG+, thanks! Off to play again! Patiently waiting for NG+ to be released... I f'ing loved it, especially the tie-in to other Remedy games. I installed a Philips Hue backlight when I started playing, and it really helped with the immersive experience.

    Alan Wake 2

    Lance also played a role in Quantum Break - could be that they were just trying to honor the memory of a good actor who'd contributed to Remedy games.

    Bandai Namco sends Ms. Pac-Man down the memory hole

    I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure a1Up doesn't have any cabinets with both Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man. Even the new couch-cade only has Pac-Man and PacLand (and a bunch of other games). I always found it odd... if you just wanted a classic cabinet with all the classic 80's pac-games, you have...

    Microsoft confirms $499 Xbox Series X for Nov. 10

    You're going to have to explain this one to me... how is building a gaming console an illegal monopoly? How is the XBox any different than the Playstation or the Wii in that regard? Do Nintendo and Sony also have illegal monopolies?

    Trump campaign angry that cell carriers blocked spammy texts to voters

    I received a bunch of these texts - I have never given permission to any political party to have any communication sent, and I'm about as far from a Trump supporter as one can get... and yet, I kept getting texts from Don Jr. or some other family members begging for money. I went through the...

    FS: orig XBox One w/Kinect

    I don't believe the 1080TI is still covered under warranty - purchased from Newegg in 2017. Yes, it does work! It was used in a VR setup I've broken down. Chronage, I'll send you a PM.

    Sekiro: From Software’s Latest Game (Stealthy Bloodborne)

    Regarding dragonrot, I thought it only accumulated when you die died - screen goes black, you appear by the last shrine you visited. I think if you resurrect-die and cowardly run back to a shrine to rest, you bypass dragonrot. That's how I started playing and it seems to work so far. Boss fights...

    The Board Games Thread

    Got my copy of Gloomhaven last night. Holy hell it's huge! Packed with better quality than the Dark Souls board game (not to dis Dark Souls, but some of the weapons on the figures were a bit too bendy). Flipping casually through the rulebook and looking over the components, it seems like...

    The half-cocked decisions behind Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition

    Gearbox is a reminder of everything that's wrong with game publishing. For every good idea like Borderlands there are two or three shovel-ware high-profile titles like Aliens: Colonial Marine and Duke Nukem Forever. Sad to see they're continuing the trend. I was just enjoying the Homeworld...

    Horizon Zero Dawn

    Finished the main storyline finally - spoiler free critique - it holds up really well. Lots of games fall apart at the end, or shove a bunch of exposition up front, but HZD comes off as well conceived and extremely polished. There's some interesting epilogue events worth watching too. The story...

    Resident Evil VII

    Picked it up for PS mostly for VR. Non-VR mode it looks decent, with a few stand-out muddy textures. VR mode naturally reduces the resolution and textures, but looks really good. There are a few tweak options for VR mode, and I only got to spend about twenty minutes yesterday, but so far I'm...

    Civilization 6

    I had a really interesting barbarian problem the other day... an encampment spawned in the mountains with only one open tile nearby - a river tile. I landed a city on the other side of the mountains, safely out of the barbarian spawn zone. A city-state was close to the encampment, but wouldn't...

    Civilization 6

    I was less serious about it being an exploit, and more interested in shifting focus on my lack of strategy. I re-loaded an old game and found I had an apostle who could be upgraded to the barbarian convert within range of the sudden attacking parties. The lake-bound admiral is still an...
