I've skipped the last handful of CoD games but I'm gonna get the new one solely for the Modern Warfare remaster. Hopefully they don't find a way to mess that up because that was my favorite FPS game to play online.

They're advertising it as Infinite Warfare plus the remaster as a bonus...but everyone buying it sees it the other way around lol.

Just played the Overwatch beta, I really like it. I never got into Team Fortress but I had fun with this. Well balanced and does a good job at promoting teamwork even if nobody is on mics.

Same reason I'll get it Andy. I actually bought my xbox just for modern warfare. Loved that game. Still the best COD game.

It's definitely the best one they've ever made. My win streak on there was like 75 games or something lol. It's kind of ridiculous how me and some of my high school friends could play so many games in a row on that one.

I need to check out Overwatch. I've had that game on my radar for a while. Seems like it'd be pretty fun to play over the summer.

Assassin's Creed movie trailer looks really cool but that Kanye track they picked for it is utter trash.

I'm trying to do a nonlethal runthrough of Dishonored. Spent about 2.5 hours total over the past 2 days trying to do the first level and at the end it says I killed one person somewhere along the lines. I think an unconscious guy fell off a roof i had him on. Frustrating...

That happened to me like three times :lol Ended up just using a looot of different save points for safety.

Dishonored is such an excellent game, can't wait for 2.
For all of the hope that it brings...

So I've been playing more ranked games in Hearthstone in the last week than I have been in a while. All I can say is that it is way too hard for me to ladder up. I started last week at Rank 5, climbed up to Rank 2 where I needed my win-loss ratio to be +10 to get legend, then in the last few days, I've imploded, losing a lot of games and now I'm back to Rank 5.

The matchups I've been playing against have been a huge crapshoot where I just can't seem to find the consistent edge to break through. It's too hard, too time consuming, and too agonizing. It's too hard, man. I give up. I'm just going to toll in the realms of being 50-50 in the win-loss column.

Ranked puts too much pressure on people, in any game. And the atmosphere then becomes pretty toxic, especially in team games.

Ahhh, another new Hearthstone adventure is happening and they are basing this off of the WoW raid, Karazhan. Probably one of the best raids that WoW had created and one that I had good pleasure being in it and cleared it. So, it's nice to see the next adventure and cards be based off of it. I've adapted well in every expansion and adventure that Hearthstone has done where I made solid progress in ranked, so I expect nothing different this time.

I believe they have a store at his building where he can get games for $5. Hoping this is true and I'm also hoping it's true that he can get the games early.

Started playing Hyper Light Drifter today. It's a cool throwback kinda game if you're into classic Zelda games like A Link to the Past or the Gameboy games. If you're into those kind of games, it's worth checking out.

My bro in law said they're already having meetings for the next call of duty and they talked about what it's about and all that. He won't tell me anything.
