Another quick WRUP coming in. Originally I wanted to talk about Dishonored 2, Watch Dogs 2, Titan Fall 2 and how they all have disappointing sale numbers, then I remembered that it’s Black Friday and now life got in the way anyway and I have to cut this one short.
So, what is everyone playing over the weekend? Read more
Tragedy has struck America. Leonard Cohen is dead. What do you mean with “He was Canadian?” Was he? Well, guess everything is fine then in the US.
Anyway, we at Twinstiq talk about videogames and I can’t think of any connection between him and those right now, so how about a very short review of Motorsport Manager? Read more
No idea what’s going on in gaming right now, but let me tell you something about Microsoft: FUCK THOSE STUPID CUNTS! Read more
Hello Games got hacked. Or did they? Read more
What a week. We finally have a name and first impression of the NX, Red Dead Redemption 2 got announced, and a couple of hours ago my doctor told me that there is something seriously wrong with my health. Soooo, yeah. Video Games, am I right? Sorry, not really in the state of mind to talk about the Nintendo or Red Dead thing. Anyway, enjoy your weekend and tell us what you are playing.
Greywolfe: what was that? it was the sound of me not playing the longest journey. but i have picked up and been playing more magic: the gathering: duels kaladesh. [yes, i know, that's not really it's actual name.]
Cody: Gonna see if I can scare myself with any horror games this weekend
Scroo: Well I finished Alan Wake for Game Club so I've been playing Bulletstorm from 2011. So much fun. I've really been wanting a fast paced shooter of late and thinking after Bulletstorm I'll reinstall Rage and run it through again. Plus whatever else we vote in for this next Game Club round.
Tru: Game Club is still on Alan Wake. Besides that I'm still playing Mafia II. On top of that I got a copy of Brutäl Legend and have been playing the everloving Metal out of that.
Reviews for Mafia 3 are finally out and it’s been an interesting journey. Everyone was quite enamored with it at first, yet the reviews usually end up in the 70s range. Why? Read more
You might think that in the year 2016, western AAA publishers would be aware of basic PC gaming standards. Nope. Mafia 3 only supports 30 FPS at this stage and the outrage is huge. Sure, they are working on a patch that unlocks the FPS, but why that wasn’t included at launch is beyond me and with a mixed rating on Steam, the damage is already done.
In other news, but still set in the year 2016, Comcast apparently is now retroactively giving its users download caps. USA, land of the free. Read more
Again in a bit of a hurry. So just enjoy this video (I have yet to decide on) Read more
So Palmer Luckey is funding a pro-Trump group. I wonder what that will do to the sales of the Rift and his relationship with Mark Zuckerberg. The Facebook CEO is not exactly known to be a fan of Trump and Oculus is still struggling hard to reach an audience. Then again, Palmer was only in it for the “jolly good time.”
“Yo, I’m fighting the establishment! How? By spending millions on someone who is clearly part of the establishment. Am I part of the establishment? Yes, so what? You can only fight the establishment by having the support of the establishment. Don’t you idiots understand that?”
Gotta love this guy. Read more
Something something games. Something something news. Something something I’m tired, fuck this.
Something something playing?
Dr. S: need to play some more game dev tycoons for work (mostly to get the screenshots at this stage), so I will play 5 different business sims in 2 days. Is that world record material? Probably not, but still more than is fun.
Cody: Gnna Start working on playing as many games from 2011 as I can afford to see what holds up the best for the Past Due Game Awards!
Scroo: Finished Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons for game club. Started playing Jotun, that's been pretty cool. Maybe more No Man's Sky as well. Depends on how busy this weekend is.
Andrew: Replaying Dead Rising on Steam. It really takes me back. Hard to believe that game is already 10 years old! It was one of the first titles I picked up for the 360 and I played the heck out of it back then.
Greywolfe: gameclub means that i'm playing "brothers." i also have to work up the courage to get to where i was with "a blind legend," but that save system sucks and i dunno if i'll make it :P - i will [hopefully] also start up my quest for glory 3 hero as well as continuing my adventure in the longest journey. but mostly...brothers. lol.
