After almost 2 weeks of constant fear that I would lose the claim against me from PayPal from my buyer, they emailed me and said they have sided with me. Saves me $2,000 and the product. Thank the heavens I followed their guidelines by the book.

That Mario Golf, boy.. im ready for that. I dont buy many games but this could very well be the next one. Hopefully they have a robust online multiplayer mode, i have zero interest in campaigns or solo play. Im here to compete with strangers.

Yea, I thought it looked pretty boring until the battle mode showed up. That looks pretty fun.

Wish Steam would let me play Biomutant already.

So people really seem to love Knockout City.

Visiting a couple friends for the past couple weeks and have been reminded just how amazing the Overcooked games are. Some of the most fun I've ever had with video games.

If it turns into a F2P I'll definitely give it a shot. I just can't picture myself spending money on it.

Man, I’d love nothing more than if this launched on PC at the same time as PS5 but I know that would never happen. Hoping they do it within a reasonable timeframe though, as I really enjoyed my time with the Zero Dawn port.

I don't know if I'm more highly anticipating Ratchet and Clank or Horizon. I think I'm mostly just so excited that both are so close (unless Horizon gets pushed out of 2021). HZD is one of my all-time favorite games, and RAC is one of my all-time favorite series. These two games are basically why I got a PS5 (yes I'd have gotten one anyways). I am excite!

I think I'm skipping Biomutant. Didn't really leave a mark on reviewers it seems, and I have plenty else to play or play soon.

I'll tell you what, I'm enjoying the hell out of Biomutant. The story is fun and the mechanics are fine. I don't think there is that much replay value (other than checking out what happens opposite of the choices you make during your first play through) but it's a great little time sink that will hold me over until the Wasteland DLC.

Keep us updated on what you think of it. Ironically, it's Wasteland 3 that's keeping me from other games. On my 3rd playthrough on tougher difficulty and I think I finally love my roster and decisions. By next week I should be completely ready for the DLC.

Did you achieve the November Reigns ending yet?

Finished Press Reset by Jason Schreier last night and highly recommended it to anyone interested in what it’s like working in video games. I’ve been through some work instability in my life, but I don’t know how these people do it.

Watch on YouTube

Hoping this isn't just a re-skin of FC5, which was a re-skin of FC4, which was a re-skin of FC3.

My employers agree to cover half the costs on a lot of different types of expenses, including video games. That bucket of money resets at the end of this week (our fiscal year). Just went ahead and bought/pre-ordered:

Ratchet & Clank
Back 4 Blood
New Pokemon Snap

What? Why? How? I need to bring this up to my CEO.

To support our mental/physical well-being. They used to exclude video game purchases unless it was like one of those exercise games on the Wii but over the past couple years they've loosened the restrictions a bit.

I’m taking it with a grain of salt, but pretty interesting if this report ends up true and Uncharted 4 is ported to PC. Does feel like an odd choice though, as a lot of people said this game works best emotionally if you’ve played the other games.

It's a great game on its own but it definitely is better knowing how the relationships were built up across the series.
