Binged Stranger Things. It's like Sandlot the Goonies meets the Silent Hill/Doom (2016). It's awesome. I need to sit on it to process it all before I rant.

http://www.theverge.com/2016/8/2/12360620/china-TEB-elevated-straddling-bus-unveiled Huh, it's actually real now. It is certainly an interesting concept since standard buses on busy streets are kind of a pain. I bet it also a pain for the driver and riders.

If the RNC believe that Trump was ever president material it will be true. Feelings and beliefs are equal to facts you know.

A man can dream that this whole Khan business can sink Trump's campaign. We got three months...

Hello Games now gotten a month worth of what I assume to be a day one patch ready. It will be interesting to see what issues it fixed or balanced. Now to wait for the NMS subreddit to bitch about a day one patch. Remember: A game may consume you (when released) but it is not your life.

You say two days but it was ~30 hours of grinding it out by the guy. The guy also found a money/currency making exploit(?) to do it all faster. Thirty hours is about fair for this type of game. I'm shielding myself from most things so I don't know how much more can you do so playtime could extend towards a 100 hours or more.

I'm not sure if you guys are following this channel but dude just smelted some ore. He just blew my mind with his simple but effective fan blower. So yes, he is able to actually progress to iron tools. It'll take a while though since there is just so much prep involved (namely the massive amount of charcoal needed).

So some fool got the game early for the PS4. For $2k. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4OChfGvYsA One person put it as: Subnautica in Space. This might be good... but is it $60 good?

The Raid 2 Rama just can't catch a break.

Doom - Superb SP game where classics was successfully modernized. MP is lackluster though. Overwatch - Polished and compelling MP. Stardew Valley - Super comfy Harvest Moon-like game made with care by one guy that fills a much needed niche on PC and (soon to be) other platforms.

Muad'Dib! Muad'Dib!

I am but I just don't spend enough time to level to 20+ to compete in the gyms.

EDF 4.1 Years worth of sploosh released. This is indeed 2017 but better. Multiple classes and online co-op adds so much to the core gameplay. Performance is pretty damn good but it can get laggy in the multiplayer loadout menu. I'm not sure why. I also just crashed out from a game after four hours so that's something to note. There's suspicions of memory leaks in the Steam forums. Porting wise, it's okay. Gameplay and performance is great 99% of the time. It's just the weird menu navigation, UI and options that's kind of irks me. It's so Japanese port-y. The menus can be navigated by having your mouse move through the menu options themselves. It's okay but it is clumsy and inferior to plain old mouse cursor navigation. UI clashes a lot and the communication menu is not intuitive. It took me a while to figure out it's the arrow keys. Y or however you bound it is for ingame text chat. There is no push to talk. Text notifications either overlays menus during setup, chat during the game are via speech bubbles that can be easily missed. It's just so awkward. For the option menu, you wished there was more stuff to it like voice chat volume, graphical options and other quality of life preferences. But yeah, multiplayer is a blast. I'm kind of bummed that I crashed out of a session.

Now for a good action movie. The Raid: Redemption The story is a bit fucky but the fights more than makes up for it. The buildups to the main fights is quite something. Plot armor is there but it is used well.

Word is the port is a bit rough so this will be a gamble but yeah... EDF EDF EDF EDF EDF!

I was nodding in approval till the last part. You fool!

Kill Zone 2 Tony Jaa with various other actors from Thailand and Hong Kong for a fighting romp. Story is kind of a mess and a bit feel goody but the fights are pretty good. A bit too much of Ong Bak in the Tony Jaa's parts though.

Almost every night my brother goes out with his friends to romp around downtown or SF State for Pokemon GO. I've seen planned meetups. I've seen even my folks and older family members playing. Shit is weird and I can't tell if it is a fad or will it have staying power. There has to be something to having people actually go outside and you know, interact with people. A biggie is parents with their kids. This sort of thing is almost perfect to spending time with the kids. Go outside, walk around, have some snacks and have a decent time. If you want an adult version, do a pub crawl. I think this game just needs some better game mechanics.

Get me a SNES version where you can slap on a NES add-on like the old days then I'll be down.

That's my life currently. I've lost about five pokemon to it not registering. Add another five to it not responding. Same deal with PokeStops. Quite the frustrating game... And farming Magikarp is suffering. 400 points to evolve one to Gyarados. 15 points so far...

My mom's place has a PokeStop next door and I think my brother put an incense on it. Free exp with Pokeballs refills ahoy! And if you want to be overpowered, try a college campus. Jesus so many PokeStops. Edit: This game just bugs out so much.
