Wow, I've really been behind on games for the past year not having a gaming system. This game looks dope from what I'm seeing on YouTube. I just bought a new Xbox One, so I'll have to bring back one of the games I just bought as well so I can buy this. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's turn-based strategy, just to be clear.
Also, if you haven't already--get The Witcher 3, even if it's the only thing you do. One of the best games of all time, and the new benchmark for RPGs.

Sniper Elite is more of a strategic game than FPS, you have to make good shots without being detected or you will most likely die.

Buca di Bepo would be a cool spot for Prom. It's an Italian place with a cool vibe. I have seen a ton of kids there for prom before.

I'm a bit out of date but I recommend Canellas. I hope they're still open.

There breakfast is great. Haven't tried dinner. I assume it's as awesome? Also, the single best service I've received in my life was from there.

You're welcome, they do small batch brewing, their Pilsner and Brown ale are absolutely delicious, $6 for 32 oz mini pitcher and the food is absolutely delicious, their cheese plate is the best I have had, the burger is fantastic and they actually know how to cook it medium rare.

I hate those punks. I back them down, pump fake, then take them out. Also blind screen them cuz their buds dont talk

It's unbearable...and it's not even like I'm playing against kids. I play on a college campus. I left the game as shooter and came back as a 5'9 version of Kenneth Faried. I catch so many air ball passes every game.

Hah. That's how I've always played my game. People in general are horrible at understanding rebounding positioning. I've had friends get scholarships for basketball but I would routinely beat them in 21 because I would out rebound them, am a good free throw shooter, and I would try to never allow a tip in to get me back to 0.

I've learned to evolve :lol:. I'm not very tall or athletic, so most of my shots came from the perimeter, but the game has changed. Everybody is firing off 30 footers. I've never seen so many step back jumpers and streetball moves performed on the air, but that's what you do now. The cool thing to do is perform dribble moves at half court with no one around and hoist up a hail Mary. If you get lucky and it goes in you walk back like a badass who didn't just miss 15 in a row.

Yeah, I saw that it was turned-based. I actually don't mind turned-based, cause it takes extra critical thinking instead of just hack-n-slash type RPGs. I like both though.

I played a little Witcher 3, it was fantastic. It's just so hard to play all these games at once, especially with how much I play Madden 17 and Elder Scrolls Online.

Oh I see. That was laziness on my part. I just assumed it was a FPS with Sniper in the name. I'll have to rent it for sure though.

Random thing I learned today...I play against Joe Ingles' wife on Thursday in my basketball league. Never thought I'd compete against a world champion :D
