That's a hell of a spoiler right there, man. I'd the weapon, unless you don't care about spoiling people. A lot of people were blown away during the middle of the game when you go get that weapon.

You don't necessarily need to know anything about Kratos to jump into the new God of War, although it definitely helps. Just know that he is a Spartan who killed a lot of gods, including Ares to become the God of War himself. You could always go into a God of War recap on Youtube. Here's one I Google'd quickly that's only 7 minutes. Some of that stuff even I didn't know, as I never played the PSP titles. Basically, after everything that happened with Kratos in the Greek mythological world, he now finds himself in Midgard in Norse mythology. So, even long time fans are as blind as anyone else, especially considering he stabbed a sword through his stomach and crawled off a cliff at the end of the last game. So he finds himself in Midgard raising a son somehow.

I think they said the next 2 are Norse 100%. They might dive into the other ones during the next 2, who knows? There's hints of other mythologies in Tyr's temple or whatever. Barlog said he originally wanted to go Egyptian first for this game, but I'm glad he went Norse first because I'm much more familiar with it. Obviously I would have played and likely loved it either way, but because I watched Vikings and other stuff with Thor/Odin etc it was cool seeing it all in the game. Just like my first time playing God of War on the PS2. Around the same time somewhat I was learning about Greek mythology in English class or whatever class it was, and I was acing it because of God of War.

mfw Horvat's dog isn't in the dog vote.

To add on to this @c00kies, I think the games might be changing on Tuesday? I was able to go on the store this morning and get Beyond: Two Souls, which I've been meaning to play for years. I meant to get around to playing it before I buy Detroit: Become Human because I liked Heavy Rain a lot. Yeah, I've watched those Barlog videos too. It's so interesting what directions they can go now with this franchise. It's too bad about the DLC, but I think it's expected. There's just a ton of content and you don't want to take away from the sequel by throwing anything into DLC. I'm only assuming they've saved the realms you can't travel to for the sequels. Plus there's the other mythologies besides Greek and Norse. I've almost platinumed the game now. Just probably another 30min or so of grinding Niflheim challenges. I already found all the ravens, artifacts, etc. I don't really want to be done with the game either, but I'm trying to plat it before I let people borrow it. My brother has been asking me for weeks as well as a couple of buddies.

XCOM2 and Trials Fusion for June. Trials is that sidescroller dirtbike climbing game. XCOM2 is the very popular turn based highly rated alien shooter. I think the May ones are gone now. They were Beyond: Two Souls and Rayman Legends. Both of those obviously to give hype to the Detroit: Become Human game from the Beyond developer, and the Rayman remaster or whatever.

It's the only game I've actually cared about platinuming. I mean, besides the ones where it's easy. The only other platinums I have are Life Is Strange.....which you just platinum by taking pictures in every chapter, which isn't too hard. Then Walking Dead Telltale....which you get Plat by just completing it. God of War is amazing. I can't wait for the sequels. The Norse mythology, and learning about what I've never heard about has been great as a side as well. The combat is &^@#ing awesome.

Kotaku guy from multiple sources says it's an online RPG with base building, but it's still very story focused.

I guess I'll make my list. God of War, mostly right now Rocket League Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Switch COD WWII sometimes Mostly those games lately, although the past 2 weeks has been all God of War. Working on those end-game armors right now.

I've been looking into buying My Time At Portia. It's like a Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley inspired game where you mine $&!# and rebuild the town or whatever.

I definitely think Bo's a 1st line C, and I don't think he's hit his prime yet. Especially if he has guys like Brock or someone to fly down his wings, he will only produce even more points. He would have had his best season, possibly 60+ points if he wasn't injured this season. He has definitely looked great for Canada. I've been watching most of the games, including Pettersson's. I think it's nice that Bo's kind of overshadowed on that Canada roster. He always loves to perform when there's something to prove. Plus, he's rooming with McDavid, so not only will McDavid learn leadership qualities from him, but he can learn some skill $&!# from Jesus. He gets to practice with all those guys like Eberle, etc too so he can only benefit. I found that McDavid interview pretty funny though after the last game where Bo had 2 goals. He said something like, "He's a great ki-.....player,". Almost called him a kid even though he's older than him. Then you can Michael DiPietro with all of them as well. He gets to experience the NHL quality day to day stuff and practice with the big boys, before ever even playing in the AHL.

Why not do both? My life is mostly gaming and outdoor $&!#. I go hiking almost every week. Haven't canoed yet this year but I plan on it.

I think it's been the same group of people posting in here about games for years now. There's been guys jumping in and out, but more or less the same group of people. I haven't really been here much either. I still play a lot of games, like God of War right now and Far Cry 5 before that, but I just haven't posted here much.

Yeah, Horvat and Pettersson definitely aren't being used as much as they're used to. It's not unexpected though. Nobody should have expected Horvat to light it up with McDavid, Eberle, etc on that roster. Horvat is a gamer, and is a big game player. He's not going to tear teams apart, but he will score when a big goal is needed. Pettersson, he just has been getting into the swing of things. He does not look out of place at all and is constantly creating chances. That's pretty amazing to see right away. I'm sure he'll start getting some points here and there as the tourney goes on, and maybe chemistry gets a little better out there. He's doing just fine.

Pettersson was very noticeable out there. He created a ton of chances, looked real flashy and definitely belonged on the ice with the rest of them. Very much look forward to watching him in the rest of the tournament.

Probably anyone could guess this, but I love the album. I didn't like 4 Your Eyez Only too much, only a few songs....but this one I like more than a few. I don't think it's as good as Born Sinner or Forest Hills Drive, or Friday Night Lights, but I still love it. ATM, Window Pain, KOD, Kevin's Heart, and some others I love. Definitely a classic for me, but I'm a Cole Stan that goes to all his shows when he's here and still jams out to a lot of his old $&!#. I know FNL isn't an album either, but it's some of his best work. I don't care much for the Cole/Kendrick debate or whatever people are saying in this thread. They're both different artists and have different sounds. &^@#, if that Kendrick/Cole collab ever drops I'm going to be HYPE.

The only time I ever pay for UFC anymore is if I'm having friends over and we go in on it. Either that or I'll go to a bar, or find other means to watch it.....other means. It's incredibly easy to not have to pay these days for sports. ....or so I hear.

If Boeser doesn't score against Edmonton, I'm going to riot! 3 games pointless is too much for Brocky! Seriously though, hopefully the boys can take advantage of Edmonton's recent struggles. Boeser definitely has been playing a lot more minutes this season than he ever has in his career, so it's probably nice for him to get that bye week. Horvat returning soon should definitely spark something too.

Dat moment when Bo Horvat is the featured player of January in the Canucks calendar. I think that means he's coming back in January for sure. I'm not even going to a game this season until he's back.

Once the Horizon story gets going, $&!# gets real interesting.

Definitely a huge delayed response on my part, but it's my GOTY for sure. Beats out Zelda: Breath of the Wild for me. One of the best free roamers ever, with great, fluid combat. The story is amazing as well, and Aloy is an excellent protagonist to add as one of the faces of Playstation. I definitely had some open-world exhaustion for awhile there though, considering Horizon and Zelda came out within a few days of each other, so it was hard going back and forth. Ultimately, I put down Zelda for awhile so I could keep playing Horizon, which I think says a lot of which game I like better. THey're both amazing games, of course, but I think it depends on taste. Horizon is more of a tribal, sci-fi, open world, robot animal killing game with great combat. Just the things you can do with the bow, while running around, setting traps, etc. It's really good. Zelda is obviously good too, and I'm still trying to play and beat that too, but I think considering I finished Horizon's main story and side quests long ago, and almost Platinum'd it says which game I like better. The Horizon DLC is something else too. Some of the best snow physics engine ever.

Horizon: Zero Dawn wins Best Storytelling and Playstation Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards. Ashly Burch (voice of Aloy in Horizon) wins Best Gaming Performance and Breakthrough Award. Zelda won Game of the Year, which isn't too surprising.

Man, nice card, all things considered. Mighty Mouse is the &^@#ing man. Lando/Green was exciting as hell. Then Ferguson fight was as exciting, just like expected. Excited to see Tony face McGregor when it comes, loved his fighting style since TUF. He basically had to call out McG the way that he did, it's just the way it works these days to ensure the fight happens. McG probably thinking of Diaz III or GSP after Bisping fights him. He needs to defend that belt eventually.

Threaten talking to the Better Business Bureau or something. Lol, as a kid my mom used to do that all the time and threaten to go on the news, etc whenever one of our PS2's got the light of death. Because of all the known reports about people's PS2's breaking down, she would argue they are purposely built disposable or something. It happened twice and I got 2 free PS2's and a controller out of it. I don't know. I wouldn't go as far as her as that takes some kind of work and mentality but dealing with Sony does, in fact, suck. I remember years ago with one of my PS3's it was $200 to repair my PS3, even though at the time, it was $250 for a new PS3 Slim. That was a no-brainer to just get a new one, since them repairing my PS3 would delete everything anyways. So dumb. I still have that PS3 Slim to this day too.
