Mister Jack

I bought myself a new mattress today. It was long overdue, but I got a pretty great deal. I got a 2,300 dollar hybrid mattress on clearance for 650. I did have to take the floor display, but the store is only a few months old and I figure a slightly used 2,300 dollar mattress is still going to feel better and last longer than a brand new 600 dollar one. I also got a nice memory foam pillow since I have back and neck pain. It was expensive, but the guy took fifty bucks off since I was getting the mattress too. I also bought a new pad for it since the old one is in tatters. And I got a new strap for my watch since the old one broke. All in all it was an expensive but very productive day. I am looking forward to actually sleeping comfortably. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

I finished the Witcher 3 expansions. Hearts of Stone was interesting enough but Blood and Wine blew it away in terms of content.

All of the Battlefield 4 premium DLC is free until September 19th. You can also get the PC version of the base game for 9.99 if you don't own it already by using the code Origin50 at checkout.

Is anyone still reading Attack on Titan? Because they finally got to the damn basement and...

Hello, old friend. It's good to be back.

Mad Max So this is an unusual one. The game's story missions can probably be beaten in around 15-20 hours, but that's if you are really good at the game. If you're not, you'll probably spend a lot of time doing side missions and outposts to build up your scrap to upgrade your car to make it more formidable in the story missions. There is so much extra stuff to go through in this game that if you wanted to get everything it would probably take you well over 100 hours. There is WAY more to do in this wasteland than you need to do to finish the game, which I find weird because it's all this extra work the developers did that really wasn't necessary. A lot of it is just raiding outposts and scavenging ruins anyway. It's fun but it gets tedious after a while. The car combat is easily the best part of the game, and rightfully so. There are also a ton of ways to upgrade and customize your car. You won't be doing any Forza style decals, of course. This IS a post-apocalypse game, but by the end you'll go from a weak little rustbucket to a heavily armored death machine on wheels. It's pretty cool. The on-foot combat is...well, it's another Arkham ripoff. It's alright, and it works, but don't expect a ton of originality here. I definitely enjoyed the game, but it's best played in short bursts, I think. If you spend hours and hours at a time grinding for scrap to upgrade your car with it'll get really monotonous. I should also point out that I got this game for around 6 dollars on CD keys, and it was absolutely worth that price.

Square Enix told them to shove in microtransactions two weeks before the game was done and insisted on the breach mode because they were worried players would get bored playing the campaign.

Anyone find this easter egg?

Mad Max: Fury Road I didn't bother seeing this one in theaters because at the time I was totally burnt out on the post-apocalypse genre, but playing the game put me in the mood to finally watch it. I gotta say, I respect an action movie that concerns itself less with suspension of disbelief or realism and more with just being completely balls to the wall badass.

I've been under a lot of stress recently and most of the shows I watch are between seasons right now, so I've been looking for a nice, feelgood animated show I can watch while I relax and get comfy. After looking at the current trends I stumbled upon a show called The Loud House. It's a sitcom about a boy who lives with ten girls, which isn't that original a concept but it seemed fairly popular so I gave it a shot and I actually really enjoy it. What I like is that unlike most shows of this type, the main character, Lincoln, isn't just whining about how annoying his sisters are all the time. His sisters aren't constantly bullying him because he's the only boy either. The show never implies for even a second that the siblings don't all love and support each other, even when they fight, which is actually rather refreshing for a concept like this. Most of the conflicts and plotlines come from the difficulties of living in such a large family, regardless of gender. And while the sisters are mostly defined by their individual quirks (this one is an athlete, this one wants to be a comedian, this one is smart, this one is dumb, this one's a goth), they're all so likable that it doesn't even bother me. I wouldn't say it's brilliant or anything, but it's a nice show that makes me smile while I watch it. I also really like how the backgrounds are drawn to look like a Sunday comic strip.

Man I picked a good time to get into this game.

I figured I shouldn't replay Deus Ex until they get out DX12 support and a few more patches, so right now I'm playing Mad Max, which I got super cheap a while back. Do you like clearing outposts? Then boy do I have a game for you. It's not bad, but there are so many places to rummage through and clear out that it makes Ubisoft games look conservative by comparison.

Oh, nevermind. I did that. Now that you mention it, I thought it was kinda weird that the place was covered in all these mines and shit. But yeah, you fucked up! Best side-mission of the entire game, imho. At least, out of the ones I played. Required some actual detective work but without the game just pointing you straight to it with objective markers.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Took me about 20 hours when you include all the side missions. I don't know if there are missions I missed but I did all the ones I came across and I feel like I discovered most, if not all of them. My feelings are mixed. 20 hours is an okay length for most games, I suppose, but I was expecting a lot more out of a Deus Ex game. The ending is also nothing but sequel bait and the game only having two proper boss fights, one of which was a side mission, was kind of a letdown. I know bosses were the weak point of the last game, but I thought they would try to fix them, not downplay them to almost nothing. It's still a good game, but I'm glad I only paid 36 bucks for it.

Okay is it just me or is it really hard to combine the mine template with grenades to make mines? I've tried combining over and over and it's only managed to work once. It's a pain in the ass because I really need those mines.

I've encountered a bug in this game that's becoming a real problem. When I load a save and hit the space bar to start the game, it also reads it as me hitting the space bar IN the game. So basically, if my last save was behind cover in an area full of enemies, as soon as the save loads Adam vaults over the cover and exposes himself. It's causing me all kinds of headaches. Is this happening to anyone else?

Never thought I'd see this franchise come back. The original is actually a really fun co-op game so this could be nice to play with friends. Hopefully they actually have online co-op this time too. The only re-release of the original to get that feature was the PS3 version which is a shame because I'd love to play it on steam with other people.

I'm still on the default. It's just weird because I never had that issue until about a month ago. Why now?

I have one minor gripe with this game in that you can't use the tab key to back out of menus. You have to either reach up to hit escape or you have to click on the back button. It's minor, but considering how often you're in menus it gets kind of annoying.

Has anyone else been having this weird issue with steam lately where when you alt-tab out of a game and then go back to it, it brings the overlay up when you hit the shift key? It only does it once so it's more of an annoyance than anything, but it didn't used to do that to me.
