Nothing much. I had a week off recently in which I spent the vast majority of my free time playing through Vanilla Destiny 2 and its first bit of DLC. However (and I'm not sure if its the game or me that's changed), I'm sort of okay not returning to it for a while. I'll likely play through Warmind (?) and Forsaken at some point in the coming months, but I think I've tired myself out for now. Away from that I've been trying to get back into Battle Royale with Blackout mode and PUBG. PUBG is like a drug that I just can't kick. I see its flaws, I moan, I come back anyway. Whats wrong with me?

https://imgur.com/a/6X9qp7z This sorry corner of my living room is now where my PC is situated. Daughter has taken our 'entertainment room' because apparently she needs her own room, smells fishy to me but whatever. The PC was in our bedroom for the last few months but I managed to get it moved by arguing that my gaming time is how i best unwind, and I enjoy that most on my PC, but also didn't want to spend my evenings when Baby goes to bed in the bedroom away from my partner. It worked. It's not ideal, but as of right now....it's alright.

So I've been playing some Blackout mode after having fallen out of love with PUBG (after a combined 350+ hours across two platforms), and whilst I can see why it's being heralded as something really really good; it aint for me. It's well presented, looks great and has that COD polish that PUBG doesn't, and likely never will have, but man I don't need that COD time-to-kill in a Battle Royale game, nah uh. It's like the worst part of PUBG that many hated; the fact you spend time looking for gear only to be gunned down, multiplied by a thousand percent. Before you know what's happened the killscreen is up and you're viewing some dude who unloaded an entire clip on you in less time than it takes to take a breath. If you're into COD, and you want to try your hand at BR, there's so much to enjoy here, but as someone who ideally would like a nice middle ground between the hyper-realism of PUBG and the arcade-fun of Fortnite, Blackout mode misses the mark. And that's a real shame because I've got very little time for PUBG anymore.

I didn't give Into The Breach a fair shake in 2018 but I've taken a look since the turn of the year and yeah, I think its got me. It's basically taken over from Rocket League as 'the game I play when I've got twenty minutes to kill'; and it's absolutely perfect at that.
-
I thought otherwise. Its taken a while to kick into (ahem) gear...........................................(it's a GearVR joke) but its starting to get a foothold. 2018 was a pretty decent year for PSVR all told.

Grabbed one a few weeks ago for my partner and she absolutely loves it. She's spent the majority of her free-time playing though Astrobot which she's decided to try and platinum (testament to how great that game is). I've also grabbed Moss and plan on giving that a look when I've gotten through Destiny 2. Honestly, as an easy entry point into VR, it's kind of great. It's not perfect though. I'm not sure whats going on with Move controllers. They're insanely expensive and I'm assuming thats because they're not producing them anymore? Just re-packaging the ones they've got laying around after the Move flopped. It's a real shame too as I'm kinda desperate to play SuperhotVR and Space Pirate Trainer; both which require Move controllers. Thanks Sony.

It's a tiny mobile game about a relationship. The highs, lows and what happens after. It's cute and for one reason or another really stuck with me. Looks great too.

Hi? I used to be a member here but then I had a baby.

My powers have only grown since becoming a parent. I now possess something called...Dad Strength.
You are wise to fear me.

My brother in law got ripped after they had a baby, even though he stopped working out. Apparently carrying a ~20lb object around all the time builds some muscle..

Babies are a great arm, chest, and back workout!
Too bad they're also hell on your shoulders if you happen to have arthritis.

This is probably a really bad question but I'm going to ask it anyway. What does a retired D1 player need to know about D2? I'm a few hours into the game now and what I see I like, however (as tends to happen with these games), I feel like I need a quick course in how to play the game 'correctly'. Any tips for a guy who just doesn't have the time to find out how to play the game naturally.

2018 was a weird one for me. I actually played more 2018 games than I thought I would, and there was some really good ones. However unlike previous years nothing really stole my attention. There was no Destiny, Rocket League, Overwatch or PUBG. Quality was high, but maybe its more to do with my own personal life, but for one reason or another I never fell in love with a game. As such: I'll present a top 5 games rather than an overall GOTY. Red Dead II Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Florence Pokemon Lets Go Marvels Spider-man Again. I had a great time with all of these games, I'm just not sure any deserve the moniker of 'Game of the Year'

The Founder. I don't have much to say about this except that it really nailed what it was trying to do. Great performances by all, fantastic score and an interesting plot. Also left me with a massive craving for a Big Tasty with Bacon.

Still playing far too much Battlegrounds. XBOX and PC combined I'm pushing 300 hours of game time. I've certainly cooled from the highs of October though, often taking a week or so between sessions. Game has its issues, the new map sucks, the cheating thing just won't go away and as much fun as solo is, sometimes its too tense for its own good. Also playing boatloads of Rocket League on the Switch. Its not the best looking version of the game, but If you're like me and value not hogging the tv, having it on a handheld is invaluable.

Baby is due in a little over 7 weeks. Who wants my gaming PC? And my Switch. Oh, you can have the PS4 and XBOX ONE to.
Sigh.- Show previous comments 3 more

Flip the baby around and hold a bottle in your mouth.
And reducing screen time (of any kind) for babies and tots is probably a good idea but now I'm telling parents how to parent without being a parent...
-
I'm totally down with telling parents how to parent without being a parent yourself. Have you seen parents? Not like anyone needs a degree in it. Just don't wear a rubber and hey presto you're a parent.
I totally agree on reduced screen time for kids. I abhor how much time some of my younger siblings spend on screens.

My nephew (who is now 4 and a half) has been using a tablet since he was a little over 2. Whilst adorable, I'm very reluctant to let that happen. I understand the temptation, but I've every intention of holding off until she's older before she's playing Goat Sim on the iPad.
Says the guy who's never had to parent a day in his life.

Goon: Last of the Enforcers lacks the charm and heart that made the original such an enjoyable ride through the world of minor league hockey. Scott is as good as ever (seriously, he's actually good in these films), but the story takes too long to get going and frankly, never really grabs you. It's fine. If you like Hockey you might enjoy it. Or if you like Hockey you might find the way it portrays your sport to be way too heavy handed, almost comical (it is a comedy).

Got the Odyssey physical edition from work. After staff discount and Nectar points it only cost me £20. Also made a killing on Bacon. Today is a good day.

Feels like I've been waiting months for this game. Ever since its reveal its been on our radar and I JUST WANT TO PLAY IT!! #GOTY2017

This new ability to transfer saved files is the most Nintendo shit I've ever seen. Just let me move that shit to an SD card and be on with my day.

Your Most Embarrassing Moment in Games
danielpholt replied to danielpholt's topic in General Gaming Chat
Me too. Also a Vita. -
So last night during a podcast debate about cringey moments in games, I was reminded about the time I played Shadows of the Damned and had to navigate my character along a giant version of my dead (?) girlfriends entirely naked body.......whilst my then girlfriend watched me. I don't think she was overly impressed, and I wanted the ground to swallow me whole. So I ask. What are your most embarrassing moments with games. And has a game ever made you cringe so hard that you stopped playing it entirely?
