It’s A Holiday WRUP

0

Well good morning everyone and happy holiday weekend to you all. I'm getting a late start here because I've been up cooking and prepping for tomorrow's get-together dinner for hours already. I've made a few dozen swig cookies and I've got a turkey breast in the oven now soon to be followed by a pie. I also took my roast out of the freezer so it can thaw for tomorrow. I've been marinating it for four days but decided that after that it should be frozen until we were ready. My sister is coming here any time now to make a couple loaves of beer bread that we can turn into dressing along with some fresh veggies. So tomorrow I'll be cooking a roast and a half ham and a whole bunch of sides and since the weather is supposed to be awesome we'll be eating outside by the fire pits with some friends and drinking beer and wine and just having a good old time.

Anyway, let's look at the WRUP shall we? Read more

Darktide – How I Finally Got “On Overwatch”

0

If you're playing Fat Shark's co-op survival shooter, Darktide, and you're trying to get the penance "On Overwatch" completed as the sharpshooter you're probably pretty frustrated at just how easy it is to fail. The conditions are pretty atrocious - Play a mission on malice difficulty or higher and finish without ever getting hit by melee. It's likely going to take a lot of tries to get this done, even with a full group of friends watching your back. I'm here to tell you how I did it and show you the build I used in the hopes that if you're struggling maybe this information can help you out just that much more. Read more

Revealing WRUP

0

Well hello there everyone. It's me, Scrooloose and it's the weekend. I'm writing this at the beginning of a big storm so hopefully I don't lose power. It's windy and starting to get pretty cold and rainy. We're expected to see somewhere in the neighborhood of two to three feet of snow by tomorrow with high wind gusts and potential whiteouts. In the meantime we could see up to two inches of rain per hour. I'm glad I prepped the driveway drainage yesterday and got things all secured. Anyway let's look at some WRUP. Read more

Performance WRUP

Hey everyone and welcome to still another WRUP weekend at Twinstiq. It's been a wet and rainy few days here in CA and boy do we need it. I even got a little snow with the first storm that rolled through. Right now the clouds are so low that it looks like fog and it's relatively warm, all things considered. I've just made coffee and built a fire to comfort the house and here I sit before 7:00am to bring the WRUP, even if it's a day later than usual. Read more

WRUP Friday Deals

0

Happy Weekend everyone. It's WRUP time and I'm struggling to find anything of note that isn't black Friday deal oriented. I suppose that's fine though seeing as how it seems like no matter satisfied I am with the current state of my PC there is always some deal on some part I don't have or is normally out of a reasonable price range that catches my eye. So with that in mind here are a few that did in fact catch my eye. My right eye. And my left. And the one by my third nipple. It's only weird if you make it weird. Read more

It’s Another WRUP

0

Good morning everyone, it's yet another weekend and that means it's WRUP time. We got our first snow this week and it was nice to see a change come to our incessant dry dusty weather. Also during that time my damn clothes dryer broke again so I ordered and new thermostat and fuse for that. I've got to figure out what's going on because dumping $50 every couple of months into the heater on my dryer is untenable.Not to mention the stupid amount of labor it takes to replace these tiny parts.

On another note, here's to everyone affected by these giant corporate layoffs happening all over the place. I know of at least a few people and am learning of more every day it seems that have lost their jobs, my sister is in fact one of those 11,000 people that were laid off from Meta. She'll be okay, she's already getting offers from other sources, but it's not fun to lose your stability. I feel especially for those who just moved to the bay area, just signed their one year apartment lease or whatever and then found out through an email that they've been let go because of some pandemic over-hiring or whatever it's being blamed on. I know of one guy who worked for Twitter and bought a house like 2 months ago, now he's jobless because a billionaire decided to take over a whole company and fire half it's staffing. Ridiculous. Anyway, to anyone out there who's been kicked in the teeth because you've been deemed expendable to the one per-centers who had to make very hard decisions good luck to you. Your resumes will likely get you back on track shortly. Read more

NovembWRUP

Hey everyone. Here's hoping you all had a good Halloween weekend and enjoyed whatever festivities you may have been involved in safely. I spent mine with some friends in their loft smoking cigars and laughing listening to music. It was a chill and very good time. Now though it's time for fall to really feel like the fall season. We've had our first snow already and I think by Sunday we're expecting a lot more at least in the higher elevations. It's the most normal November I've seen in a long time. This is like when I was younger.  Anyway, here's to another nice weekend of gaming and whatever else might be coming your way. Read more

Notable New Gaming Releases: Bayonetta 3, Persona 5 – Royal, and More…

0

So it's been a good long while since I've done a new releases post on this site. Back then it was all separate weekly posts for Nintendo, Steam, and PlayStation releases, covering all manner of titles, some of which may not have really been worth your time or mine. I have since decided to change my format to one in which I round up all of them up into one convenient post, alongside new GOG and Xbox releases, and to only focus on the heavier hitters. I also may only post it once every so often. Today, for instance, I'll be covering the most interesting new releases of the past three months. So, without further ado, allow me now introduce you to the Notable New Gaming Releases.

It's late October, which means Halloween's nearly upon us. What better way to get in the spirit of the season than by playing a brand new title starring everybody's favorite Umbra Witch, Bayonetta! Though most people are no doubt at least somewhat aware of the supposed controversy surrounding Bayonetta's voice actress shake-up with this third installment, it's probably best not to worry about it too much. To be honest, it's kind of a lot to untangle and, at the end of the day, it's more Bayonetta, the critics seem to love it, and Jennifer Hale is awesome.

Also out in the last 13 weeks, an enhanced Switch port of Persona 5, one of the very best games of 2017; the much-anticipated follow-up to 2019's best period horror stealth game, A Plague Tale -Innocence-; and a multi-console release of the 2020 My Little Pony inspired indie fighter, Them's Fightin' Herds. Beauty becomes the beasts. Jump past the break to see more new releases from the last 91 days.
