This looks great, reminds me of legendary game - Commandos. I have only seen screenshots of this game and it looked interesting, but this review definitely peaked my interest.

I'm psyched. Because of a little liquid accident last week my late 2013 Macbook Pro is on its last legs.

Narrowed it down to the 2020 Macbook Air, upgraded version, or the 2020 Macbook Pro, upgraded. Would have been a difference of about $600, but I found a Best Buy sale on the Pro that knocked $200 off. Combine that with a $500 gift I got recently and I'm paying a pretty great price.

Four Thunderbolt 3 ports

Anybody play Teamfight Tactics? Never played an auto chess game but started playing TFT a few weeks ago. I’ll start playing and before I know it, 4 hours have gone by.

Like League of Legends TFT? I've dabbled in it a decent amount. Best I've ever finished is 4th though.

Yep. I've been mostly playing COD Warzone, so I find TFT a relaxing and a nice change of pace game. Started getting some wins the last week or so. Like I said, I'll start playing at 8pm and before I know it, it's 11:30pm.

Yeah I’ve been playing that when I have a lull in my work but still have to be available if anything pops up

Every six months or so I remember I have a Switch. Porch weather is here so I busted it out and played BOTW, a game I haven't touched in a year. I'm ready to say it's the best game of all time, even though I haven't completed 50%. Don't know why I always bounce off it.

You’re making me want to start a Master Mode file. One of those games I wish I could experience completely fresh again, because that sense of awe and discovery in those first dozen plus hours was one of the purest game experiences of my life. Made me feel like a kid again.

Storm killing devices, water instead of storms, and weird "flashbacks" are the name of the game in today's Fortnite event update.

I needed a new game to get me through what is the lowest ebb thus far in my adult life. Thanks very much to Drugbust for the Black FLag suggestion. I am now in entertained numbness boarding English and Spanish ships. I have no idea what I'm doing but it's fun being a pirate.

In case anyone is interested in Madden, their first trailer for the new game is out.

It's so much fun. The actual assassin's stuff is mostly...fine. But yea, the real joy of that one is finding sea shanties, building up your ship, and becoming a terror on the sea. The battles against the four MONSTER ships in each of the maps corners are some of the most tense and entertaining boss battles in my gaming memory.

Crazy good deal. I was thinking of picking up Surviving Mars just last week at full price.

I haven't bought a Madden game in years. I think my next purchase will be on the PS5.

It's pretty terrible if you're like me and only care about the offline modes. I finally brought myself to not buy the game annually a few years ago. I used to play in a Madden league with a great group of guys but the franchise mode is just so bare-bones compared to other sport games and they make frustratingly few additions to the game each year. This year seems to be no different where pretty much all of the new features showed off in the trailer were actually already in the game at least to some extent.

It sucks but the best Madden was, like, 15 years ago.

This might be a dumb question. I paid the $30. Do I need to redeem all the Steam codes within the next week or whatever or can I redeem them anytime I want?

When I did Humble Monthly I could redeem them any time I wanted. It was fun to realize, "Oh, I've been playing for this the last eight months, I should see what's in the library" and having a hundred games or whatever.
