Seems I'm the odd man out in this but Hulu is my favorite streaming platform.  Its fairly cheap, especially compared to Netflix, has a lot of great broadcast/cable shows both current seasons and old, easy access to WWE programing that is up to date unlike their network.  Hulu original movies arent great but their shows are pretty good.  Futureman is easily one of my favorite streaming originals.  The last few black Fridays they offer deals on their ad supported sub for I think 2 dollars a month.  

 

I really dislike Netflix these days, they keep raising prices and I never find anything to watch there.  HBO Max is better than i expected it to be.  

I had really hoped that Ninja Gaiden collection would be a full remaster.  Just seems like straight ports of the sigma games.  Glad to have it on PC and switch at least.  

Played through the Gears 5 expansion this weekend with my wife on my one X.  Every single achievement that popped was a rare one so it seems like a lot of people are sleeping on it and missing out on a great piece of content.  The story arc for the characters is a little too quick but the game play is solid gears and the environments are some of the best in the series.  Quite impressed with how pretty it was.  It inspired us to go back and through the series again, will probably finish the first one tonight.  

I bought one share yesterday at 95 dollars and it sank like a stone. I can’t even sell it cause I have to wait 3 business days. I told myself I’d be okay with the lose. That was not true.

Is that another cat helmet like the old MC Collection had, or can I wear it while I play?

It is a 1:1 helmet that you can wear.  Has an adjustable strap for those of us with larger heads and lights up either red or blue.  

 

It is in fact complete BS that this bundle for 150 dollars does not come with the game.  

Glad to see Donut County getting some love. Played it on switch last year and really enjoyed everything about it. Well written, charming, and it doesn’t wear out it’s welcome.

Happy new year everyone!

I never played the first dead rising and have a weird need to collect fighting games despite that i suck and quickly stop playing them. Looks like a decent month to me.

Guess whose got a huge back log and some raging COVID? This guy! Seriously though everyone this shit is terrible. My wife is worse off than I am and I feel like crap. I hope you all stay healthy and safe.

Need to find something super low paced and relaxing to play while I ride this out.

Its a bit better month than the past few.  I will happily add Aragami to my backlog and never play it.

Anyone else feel like they own pretty much all the games they are going to buy for this generation of xbox?  I look through these sales and i either have it or don't want it.  

 

What are you still looking to pick up if you dont have it yet?

Broke down and bought the Horizon 3 expansion pass last night with an hour left on it.  I had blizzard mountain already but the hot wheels one looks like a lot of fun.  

Forsaken is not leaving

Edited down the quote to reduce space.

Thank you for that write up. I was very curious about all of that. I’m a little pissed as someone who paid for the base game and the first two expansions for all that content to just be removed due to their shot sightedness. It’s also frustrating because I recently started it on PC and actually had a good time making a run on I guess it would be a strike. I have no idea how any of the systems work anymore. Likely some on boarding that I skipped. I wonder if they plan on making forsaken free or if it’s just a complete FU to free to play players.

I'm guessing this will be announced during TGS for consoles..

 

 

Meanwhile, yesss, more MGS rereleases, but keep withholding Twin Sneks and the GBC game. Let that continue to go for high prices while I own them.

Odd that they would make a collection of Castlevania and Contra together when the classic collections of each is already available for PC.  Really wish they would announce a second Castlevania collection.  I need Symphony on my switch.  

I was mildly annoyed that once again a game that doesn’t need to be is exclusive to PlayStation but that final fantasy trailer was the most brown grey game I’ve seen in a long game. That couldn’t have looked more generic.
