I am happy for the guys. This is more emotional than I thought it would be. I knew this day would come eventually but I sort of told myself, "Maybe, next year" secretly hoping the foundational bombers would just kind of hang around in one form or another forever. I remember being 14 years old, and synching up the newest episode of The HotSpot to my click-wheel Ipod before leaving for high school each morning so I could listen to it to unwind on my way home from an awkward day of high school. Those guys really made me laugh and gave me hope in some really trying times. I'm 31 now and I honestly cannot think of any other group of people that have brought me a greater level of joy for such a long time running. I listened to old bombast episodes during a severe hospitalization a few years ago and those guys were a huge part of what helped me recover. Vinny's home improvement and new dad stories still tear me to pieces. Vinny, Brad and Alex have been and always will be some of the best on the internet and in the known universe.

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that they are in the US during a time where the pandemic continues to disrupt every day actives and fires are devastating the western states. I will say that as someone who lives in New York, things just kinda suck right now and it can be hard get excited about things.

Speaking about the consoles though, I think they are cautious to voice any sort of excitement because we largely don't know what these new boxes will bring in terms of the user experience. I see their main concern being storage space with these fast proprietary drives. If you subtract space for formatting and, all version of both boxes will ship with less than 1TB of usable storage space. Not a lot to work with. As an example I am looking at the Hitman 2 install right now and with all of the DLC it is sitting on my system at 152 GB. If I want to buy Hitman 3 which IO has already said will include all of Hitman 1&2's content if either own the prior games or purchase whatever ultimate edition there will be. If you install everything, the Hitman 3 directory size will likely be anywhere from 200-250 GB. That could eat 1/4 of your storage space out of the gate... It is also very likely that Hitman 3 will have a few DLC maps. As a Hitman fan I would not look forward to having a single install potentially use 1/3 of storage space when all is said and done and not have simple expansion option. I know this applies to me because I have had Hitman on PS4 since it's release in 2016 and would plan to do the same with Hitman 3. as a side not, I am such a lunatic I did the same thing with the PC version as well. I am going to wait this thing out until we know more about how the storage actually functions. I am not jazzed about having to pay so much for storage space. I am hoping that you can supplement this by moving things an and off of other USB drives when not in use. If that is already the case then great but I have yet to hear anyone give a clear answer on this. I think it is that kinda stuff that makes them say, "I dunno, just build a PC". The PC landscape is pretty safe territory right now if you have the means.

@inevpatoria: That is a good thought. I have it on PC and will consider ti for the Switch

I just bout a Switch and Switch Lite so that my partner and I can play Pokemon together. We have Pokemon Sword and Shield. I already know of a few obvious pickups:Breath of The Wild. Mario odyssey etc. that I will buy over time. I have not had a Nintendo anything since my Gameboy Advance SP so I am feeling out of the loop. Are there any must have titles for the switch that I should look for? These can be coop or otherwise.

Thanks!

I am about 10 hours in or so. This game is hitting on every level for me. I enjoy spending 15-20 minutes at distribution centers before run. I strategically pickup multiple orders, stack cargo and supplies meticulously; working to get 2 or 3 deliveries done in a single multi-destination trip. The minute to minute gameplay of Death Stranding was practically engineered for me. I like to plan thoroughly and get as much done in the shortest amount of time possible.

I have been doing this in games for years. I was an early backer of Elite Dangerous and I have been space trucking in that game for almost six years now. DS scratches that "maximum efficiency" itch. It also helps that the systems are so tightly designed. I understand why some people hat this thing but I find it calming and satisfying. I will probably play it multiple times. one of my favorite games this year for sure.

My recommendations thus far. I've been playing since Saturday-

• Always Carry a gun. Its the only reliable way to take down other humans who go rogue on you. Without a gun you'll spend 5 minutes dodging around them while they bash your head in. You also need them for bloaters.

• As temping as it is to run zombies down with your care it actually damages the vehicles quite bit. Your better off only ramming huge hordes when you need to and ether driving past small groups or taking them down on foot.
• Investigate everything- When you get a radio call, go check it out. They can have unexpected outcomes and keep things interesting.
• Find a big truck ASAP- They are great for looting. You can carry multiple rucksacks in the trunk and fit a bunch of people if you need to take them somewhere.

This is one I get a lot of flak for but I firmly believe it.

Tokyo Drift is the best Fast and the Furious film. It is the only one in which the main character makes an effort to right their mistakes. By the end of the movie Sean has become a better person, no longer making excuses for his self-imposed criminal life style. He actually grows up. All of the other movies in the series leave the characters traveling further down a path of death and destruction. They Kill hundreds of people throughout the series and refuse to acknowledge it because of "Family".

I did't not buy Battlefront II and I don't plan to unless it is sold at an aggressive sale price. In my opinion it's so far removed from the amazing experiences that I had on the original Xbox that I don't see the point in buying it. I think its fine for people to buy this game if they enjoy it. It's wrought with questionable progression mechanics and micro-transactions but that doesn't mean people can't have fun with it. It has already sold quite well despite massive outrage. Like any game it's up to personal taste and preference in the end. No matter the controversy surrounding the product. I'm not boycotting it. The game is simply not what I wanted out of another Star Wars Battlefront.
