Very strange criticism, sounded totally normal and fine to me. Book sounds interesting too!
Kyle Boedeker
That's what I was thinking. Jordan just sounded annoyed to be there. Pretty off-putting to be honest. I'm a lot less likely to check out his book.

imagining Vinny watching lain is so funny to me I’m so excited for this new watch cast . Alex has been killing it with the watch cast

Where did video games go wrong? I still contend that Oblivion horse armor DLC was the start of modern parsing out of game content. But the games as a service concept seems to be an unholy evolution of mobile gaming rent seeking and Steam’s sales platform. Yes. It is 2023 and I still bitch about the horse armor DLC. I should let it go, but I don’t.

I bought diablo 4 for the PS5 and my ps5 won't even read the disc..every other game and ps4 ones work just fine...cant exchange it (i tried, BB wont let me ) and ya 70$ down the drain...I'm starting to think maybe digital will b the way to go for future purchases
Robert Harrington
