I had an absolute blast playing the final open beta of Sea of Thieves. I’m really thinking I’ll buy this when it comes out. It’s all about being the pirate you always wanted to be. No real progression, other than cosmetics and earning reputation to get better ventures. I haven’t had this much fun on the seas since Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag. Which, I feel I may as well load up again while I wait for release of this game.

When I was with family this last week we went through a ton of old family photos. Of special interest to me were these images involving Harold Bergstrom), nobody was sure the relation but they were fantastic. I didn’t realize until I got back home that there’s a google app that will actually scan images in better quality than just taking a picture of them.

This game may have just been one of the greatest games of football I’ve ever seen. I seriously thought the Saints would pull through in the end, but Minnesota managed to pull of a literal last minute miracle. The entire second half was just incredible. Kudos to both teams for showing off just how insanely good they were.

Thor: Ragnarok was the Thor movie to end all Thor movies. It had pretty much everything, from scenes that would fit perfectly on album covers for power metal bands, the 80s norse retro future synthwave feel, some serious surprises, and by far the most hilarious comedy in the entire MCU. An extra special feat considering the subject matter (the literal apocalypse in Asguard) that really pulled it off.

So, having completed Destiny 2’s story campaign and started on the post-story/max level stuff I feel good enough to state that the only real similarity between Destiny and Warframe is that they’re both Sci-Fi games based around a loot grind. But even how they go about doing the loot grind is different. The best analogy I found is Destiny 2 is a Movie and Warframe is a TV show. Destiny is gorgeous, it oozes AAA quality in every aspect from art, to music to VAs (Nathon Fillion as Cayde-6 is absolutely amazing), and you know it had the budget to match when making the game. This is your big budget…

I found this on reddit. Original thread here by /u/honeybunchesofpwn. This is something that I feel should be read. “Well it depends on what it is you’re trying to solve. If you’re trying to solve highly unique events like what happened in Las Vegas, it’s gonna be difficult. However, if you want to tackle the broader issue of gun violence, there are some substantial changes we can make that will have a positive impact. Enforce existing gun laws. Our federal firearm prosecution rates are tragically pathetic, and have been on the decline. Although some progress might be being made. Improve the NICS background check system. The National Shooting Sports Foundation has…

EVE: Valkyrie released this week. It is pretty much everything I’d ever want out of a space combat game. Lots of ships, lots of lasers/beams/guns/missiles/etc. Your ship feels tiny (in the EVE universe, you’re the fighters in the Carrier you can pilot on the MMO side of things) and your weapons feel great. I wish I had a VR system and a hotas joystick and I’d be in combat heaven. But nonetheless the Stix is my ship of choice, and I’m still trying to figure out whether I like the keyboard or gamepad more. I may just have to drop the money on a joystick if I can’t figure it…

I’m addicted to this newish mobile game called Creature Quest. It’s adorable, there isn’t really any pay to win (or at least the premium currency drops exceptionally often, so casual players never feel left out). And they just introduced a little kingdom building element today. Silly mobile games, I love you. Speaking of love, I absolutely loved the Destiny 2 PC open beta, and am actually really excited about playing it. Unfortunately PC release is late October. Bleh…
