WRUP Down in the Hole

Apparently I've kidnapped Dr. S and forgot about it. Though maybe it'll do him some good to be outside of his communist country for a while ;)

(Don't worry Thomas, come November you'll be harboring everyone here for fear of either being rounded up and put in camps or have our heads be forced under sand.)

But not to worry! We have games to play and music to blast while we read about what games everyone will be using to forget about the terrible outside world!

WRUP You Gonna Call?

Well still haven't seen the new movie, but I'd assume it's doing well since Sony wants more sequels already. Lets just check and see what those numbers are. Oh. Well, maybe what should have been a success was the 2009 game Ghostbusters: The Video Game, which we have been playing for the Game Club!

What all else is everyone playing?

  • Thomas (Twitter): I like to make people feel rushed for the WRUP and then not post it :P
  • TruLegendKiller: So I haven't been playing too much: Sleeping Dogs, which I love, very cool to find a sandbox martial arts game. Also replaying Ghostbusters: The Video Game (2009) for Game Club. On a side note, this week is Comic Con so we will learn a bunch of Video Game, Movie and some Video Game news.
  • Yoda0VGs (Twitter): Been playing more Rocksmith as well as Overwatch just about every night. Cant wait for Sunday when I get to play more Ghostbusters for the GameClub!
  • Scrooloose: Still going through Stick of Truth, and I'll be playing more Ghostbusters 2009 for Game Club. I fixed my truck. It's running smoother than it has in since I bought it way back when and I'm feeling more or less healed up from pulled muscles. Also my sister and I both picked up unicycles recently so we're both trying to learn to ride. That's been a fun if not slightly uncomfortable thing to do; good core workout as well.
  • The Ghost of Greywolfe (Twitter, YouTube): I'm old and loose track of the days.

WRUPXIT

Ah-ah-ah-aha! Sorry, I can’t stop laughing about the Brits. Especially David Cameron, who really fucked himself for a change (yes, this is a Pig joke). And all the self-assured half-knowledge and stupidity that’s still going around, on both sides. I just can’t worry about any possible consequences right now, since it’s too funny a situation and things are too chaotic at the moment for any serious predictions anyway. I mean, they voted “Leave” without having any clue on what to do afterwards! AHAHAHA! They wanted a strong, independent United Kingdom and now it might dissolve itself completely! AHAHAHAHAH! Shit, games, right. Hey, if you live inside fortress Europe, you can import some cheap games from the UK right now, while the Pound is still weak. It’s like a Steam Sale for console games! Speaking of, there is an actual Steam Sale going on as well.

So, what’s everyone playing over the weekend? Read more

WRUPing Class struggle

As we all know by now, there are microtransactions in Overwatch. There was a bit of outrage about this fact, but that’s just a variation of rule 34: If it exists, there is outrage on the internet about it. In reality, those microtransactions are some of the fairest we’ve seen so far. They don’t give you power, they don’t feature any exclusive content at all and they offer so little value in return, that the incentive to buy them is near zero.
Doesn’t mean they are consumer friendly, dear TotalBiscuit, self-proclaimed defender of consumer-rights. Read more
