    I'm really glad one of the Twitch streams I watched introduced me to Jim Sterling. The man is a treasure.

    We'll see how long this blog lasts

    Does Jim Sterling still dress like a knockoff nazi?

    No he dresses like a knock off Ozzie Osbourne

    If I wanted to try a Soulsborne after years of negativity towards the genre, is Bloodborne a good re-introduction

    I'm staring at a second hand copy and pondering my options

    Yup that or Nioh are the best choices.

    Why? Nothing about Prey seemed all that interesting. If anything the interesting version got canceled in that space bounty hunter thing.

    Wow that's a pretty big slash to ew2 and wolf. But I heard EW2 has kind of a shitty second half.

    Wolf2 is getting the shaft because of Nazis and some serious launch day bugs.

    Bethesda, sort your shit out.

    Except the Nazi part. Keep kicking em in the crotch.

    Prey was super fucking fun and speed running immediately for the achievements was fun even.

    Def go with Bloodborne over Nioh I think, though they're very close. There's something about Bloodborne that clicks with people in my experience, usually about 1-2 hours in after bouncing off the first boss a few times and finding the shortcuts.

    No.

    Don't buy Prey.

    That's the game that Zenimax used to say no one else can have the word 'prey' in their game.

    Assholes that they are.

    What would that mean exactly? Obi reported you can't buy the premium currency right now and there is a big change coming prior to launch or at launch regarding that?

    I think it was when MS announced the XBone would be digital downloads only, no physical media, and everyone freaked out because apparently that was the worst and MS walked it back after the backlash.

    Even though PCs have been digital only for years and it's totes fine.

    EDIT: Oh, right, the DRM thing.

    Looks like Bethesda should have invested in games as a service filled with loot boxes and multiplayer instead of single-player M-rated titles. That's what the industry is learning from all this.

    Less digital downloads and more always online caused the freakout.

    Which is funny because I only buy games digitally and if I can't get online I don't play at all. My how silly we all feel.

    Well, they had more success than Mass Effect Andromeda.

    Any recommendations for a full album (live or studio) that I should listen to straight through while I zone out and either write or play video games?

    If I were picky, I'd prefer more modern stuff, though I understand there's some classic rock that is a must-listen too. Nothing EDM or electronic or whatever we call it nowadays, hip-hop, alt-rock, punk, pop are all welcome.

    I'm generally pretty open to suggestions though, so throw 'em at me! <3

    Prey was probably one of my favorite games of this Summer. I just loved the way that all the powers interact with the environment, and the tense space station vibe. It's definitely a good spiritual successor to System Shock/Bioshock.
