Yeah I've really been enjoying Legion.

I play on Akama, Horde side.

Is it playable on a casual level or no?

Absolutely it is.

The leveling experience to 110 was a lot of fun. You can gear up very quickly just by doing world quests once you hit 110. Raiding is by no means necessary. Dungeons are really good this expansion, especially if you run Mythic+.

It's to 110 now!?! Holy crap haha, I'm still at 85 and that took me forever. I might consider it sometime just for fun.

Currently very deep into BF1 and FIFA 17.

Target has a shockingly good array of board games too. I just picked up 3 new ones I'd been eyeing for awhile

Yeah they recently got a whole new selection of adult board games too. I was surprised to see all the expansion packs of Cards Against Humanity.

How long does this offer run?

I picked up 7 Wonders on clearance at Target a couple months ago for $25, which was a stellar steal. I doubt that Target has really expanded into the complicated and esoteric board games I'd want to purchase (Scythe, Twilight Imperium, Seafall, etc...), but it sounds like a good time to flesh out my library with some staples I don't own, like Ticket to Ride or Power Grid.

That target deal is pretty dope. If it's still going on I may pick up Battlefield, and maybe Tomb Raider or Skyrim. I don't know. It's a bummer that mod support for the PS4 version seems so limited.

While I really want to pick up Skyrim for PS4 using this deal I feel as though I need to wait. It's definitely a better looking, more stable version of the original, but is it worth $60 (or in this case $40)? I feel like there will be a Black Friday deal where you can get it for $30 by itself. I don't think I have 2 other games I want to pick up at the time.

Anyone playinc Battlefield 1 on the PC? I've randomly found myself enthralled by multiplayer shooters for the first time in years, but I don't have a lot of people to play with. Been doing some Overwatch as well, looking at Titanfall 2 if I'm feeling foolish with my money.

From what I've seen most people are on consoles around here, save for a few.

Loved Overwatch when it first came out, but I found myself tired of the same classes and gameplay after only a month or so. I know the free DLC is something to watch for. Overwatch just reminded me of a more polished (more expensive) Team Fortress 2. I soaked hundreds of hours into TF2 on Steam even before it was free.

I've been finding myself getting stuck into games that last almost an hour on BF1, and that's a good thing. Operations is by far my favorite game mode and while attacking is clearly harder, I find it to be much more fun than defending.

Also just picked up Skyrim through my Best Buy Gamers Club, missed it too much and don't have a working PC at the moment. Never played any of the DLC either so I'm ready to dive right in during the winter and play quite a bit.

For those interested in Skyrim remastered or special edition, whatever it was. I picked it up for Xbox One (because of better mod support and apparently it runs better) and I'm enjoying it a lot so far. It's the same game, with the DLC, but just more polished. I used my Best Buy GCU to get it for $50 and I can already tell I'm going to sink a lot of hours into it. Already put in about 4-5.

After being absent from the videogame world for a year or two while I crawled out of debt, it's refreshing to be able to pick up games and play them at my leisure. Right now I switch between BF1, Halo 5, GoW 4, Skyrim and even some Rocket League here and there.

If only there was a college basketball or football game....sigh.

I heard the NES Classic went pretty quickly. Out by me, the Gamestop, Bestbuy, Target all only had about 12 or less units. All gone.
