Aaaaaaah thank you! I knew there was another upcoming major release I was looking forward to playing. Holy crap, how could I forget about Fallout 76? I guess my brain isn't working right in my old age.

That's another game that's going to eat up a couple months of my free time. I'd better tell my family and friends that they won't be seeing much of me until spring, unless they want to come visit me on the couch.

Preordered the tricentennial edition. I cant get enough Fallout in any form, I'm all in on this one.

Somehow, this makes me want to play the game even more:

I can't wait to see the first horse testicles gif from this game

Oberyn Martells sister.

The one Gregor raped, murdered, and killed her children.

Elia Martell.

When Gilly was reading through that old transcript she referenced a Price 'Ragger' (Rhaegar) that had an annulment performed right before another marriage, which was to Lyanna Stark.

That would make Jon legitimate, and true heir to the throne.

Gonna agree with this... The thing that seemed more off to me, was how Jamie didn't land in a foot (maybe 2) of water, and instead sank into an endless pit his horse was running along the edge of. LOL

There actually was an explanation on this, the River near Highgarden is actually quite deep not far from shore

I found Mad Max for ten bucks. It's like a mash-up of a ton of better games, but it's ungodly repetitive.

Its a lot of fun, but yes I agree. The driving and car combat is great though. Sadly its a shame that the convoys dont reappear after you've cleared them.

yeah me too, i never do DLC though. too much time generally elapses and i've already moved on

Any rumors on when new elder scrolls will drop?

There are rumors that Bethesda isn't even working on TES6...which I kind of find hard to believe myself...I don't think they want to release anything TES related so as to not cannibalize any sales for TES:Online, just my hunch.

I think they are going to announce new IPs before anything else, the big rumor is a game called Starfield I think.

great game, first game that really gripes me since skyrim. I hate level caps, if i want to farm and become op why not let me?

I'm hoping maybe with the DLC they might remove it, if they decide to add extra perks.

My problem is I only need 3 more skill points to get the last perk (and the lousy trophy) but I don't think there are any quests left for me for skill points. I did all the Tallnecks, Bandit Camps etc.

Hey guys, just wanted to say I picked up the Xbox One version of Skyrim today, so I'll see you in about a month.

More like several months lol

Finally finished Horizon Zero Dawn...haven't played a game with that good a story in a long time; my only complaint is the level cap of 50 which I reached pretty easily, but I wasn't able to get all of the skills maxed out. Oh well. I haven't decided if I am going to try and scrounge for collectibles I missed yet, I still have a huge backlog of stuff I want to get to.

Anyone ever watch the following on Netflix? Thoughts?

I was going to start watching Supernatural with my daughters....but holy ****. I had not realized....12 seasons of 22 episodes each? Holy sh*t man.

Also Black Mirror?

Sense8?

I played the PS2 version way back when. Really innovative and creative game. It was essentially all boss battles though, so it was missing a certain dimension of gameplay but I was having fun playing it so I didn't notice much.

I gave it a try on the PS3 and it didn't click for me.

The trailer looks gorgeous, I just hope the controls are good, they felt really wonky to me, similar to the same issues they had with The Last Guardian, I believe its the same studio,

I don't have a 4k tv but I think I'm going to grab a PS4 this year. Excited for God of War and Spiderman

I'm willing to bet that Sony will do a price drop on their PS4 slim down to 249.00, so keep your eyes open.

bah.. i made the switch from xbox to ps this generation because the hardware was so much better, now MS has beat sony?

I don't have the specs, but everything I have read would seem to indicate that.

Sony may not have spoke about hardware at E3, but there are other shows coming up later in the year where they could address it. And they also have PSVR if that's your thing.

I don't see a need to upgrade anytime soon; now that they've finally added external HDD support you can just download your new games to the HDD and run them off there. I don't need one yet, I still have room on my 2TB, but its getting there.

Nah, it's just one player, at least on Xbox anyway. Not sure if there's a PC or PS4 mode for it. There's a lot of running around and questing to do so more than one person playing would probably lead to a lot of arguments. You control four main characters and you can also add three more to your party, so for the vast majority of the game you're controlling upwards of seven characters. There's a lot of micromanaging going on as far as inventory, weapons, ammo, fighting style, etc. You have to move each player individually in battle across a grid so it can get a little tedious at times but if you're into that level of control it's really versatile.

I never played the original release that inspired the Fallout games (it came out back in 1987 for PC) but I can spot a lot of the similarities between the two. There's Power Armor, AP during battle, radiation and some other little things that make it seem familiar. It's not a perfect game--I do have some minor gripes (and I have had it crash on me a couple of times--good thing I'm an over-saver)--but for a title you can get for 10-15 bucks off Ebay it's worth checking out, especially if you're a Fallout fan.

It is available on PC and PS4 yes.

Since I love Fallout this was kind of on my radar, but I'm not really a turn-based or squad-based RPG type of guy.

It does look pretty sweet (and I agree, the name is dumb as hell). I would have to upgrade my TV if I bought one though; I'm pretty sure mine doesn't support 4K. From what I've read about it, the downside is that it's not a next-gen console and there are no exclusives for it. I guess basically you're paying $599 for a graphics upgrade and a few other features. It will be interesting to see how many sell over the first month or so.

i noticed that Sony didn't even talk about hardware at all, probably smart on their end to just ignore it since it seems the X is way more powerful than the PS4 Pro.

I'm going to hold off on any sort of PS4.5 or whatever until I have a 4k TV to run it on.
