I've heard good things about it, still haven't checked it out yet though. Been meaning to give it a shot.

I dunno if anyone has brought it up here, but I'm really liking that new series Westworld on HBO, I'd recommend checking it out if you've been on the fence.

Westworld and You're the Worst on FXX are the other two contenders for my favorite shows on TV, along with Atlanta.

I was told today to watch Westworld, and was already planning on it when it was finished. Will probably watch Black Mirror this weekend and then jump into some other stuff. I'll have to look into Atlanta, as I haven't heard anything about it.

Atlanta has been pretty incredible so far.

Heard a lot of hype behind Westworld. I've got the first two episodes on tap but haven't gotten around to watching it. Thinking I may just binge watch it once it's finished like BW

I thought about doing that, but I checked out the first episode and now I have to see it every week. It's taken over that GoT sized hole in my TV viewing habits.

It's that good? Or are you just needing something to fill in the GoT hole?

It isn't GoT, but it's very intriguing and I have a need to catch it every week like I do with GoT. Like, there are shows I don't mind missing and just catching up, but I don't want to get behind on Westworld.

I'm so confused by Westworld but it is intriguing to watch.

I wasn't that big into GoT. I'd still watch it but I don't mind waiting until the end to binge

Civ 6 anyone? Only two more days!!

Have been too busy to check out beta gameplay etc. Do people think the release will be good or are we going to have to wait for patches and addons like Civ 5?

Never played a Civ game, but I think it would be up my alley. Let me know how it is.

There's a reason it's up there for hours player on Steam's charts. Endless ways to run a civilization and heaps of civs to play. I'm also a big Football Manager player... so basically I spend way too many hours on my holidays playing them both.

Love the Civ series. Got this preordered. Holler if you want to play in the future.

Edit: The early impressions/reviews I've read on it have all been positive.

It does, but it all comes down to 3rd part support for the games.

NES had 3rd party support (Forced companies into a monopoly)
SNES had 3rd party support (Maybe my favorite system of all time)
N64 really lacked 3rd party support due to not using CD's.
Gamecube had decent 3rd party support
Wii had 3rd party support, but in the wrong way. Such an under-powered machine, good 3rd partys abonded it within a year or so, only leaving the shovelware 3rd partys.
Wii-U 3rd party support is almost non-existent.

The Switch better have the graphics power to at least compete with PS4/XBONE. Companies dont want to make a game, port it to both systems, then recreate a stripped dumb downed version for a Nintendo system, and thats why they left the Wii and Wii-U alone. Its sad to say that us real gamers dont use Nintendo, and thats because we dont trust Nintendo.

Actually i have given up console gaming years ago and now strictly represent the PC Master Race.

Im downloading Civ6 right now to give it a look.

Usually not my kind of game, but since its free, i download and play all the games at least for a day or two.

I wasn't feeling it when I first saw it but after watching the ad, it does seem a bit cooler. The question then is whether the processing power is in the dock or the handheld screen. Logic says it would reside in the dock, in which case, does that mean you'll get lower resolution, lower FPS etc when you go mobile?

This is definitely a question I need answered before I'm going to throw money at it. Also battery life of the handheld and as Kerrsed pointed out, 3rd party titles.
