Put your dancing shoes on!

December 10. Pray to god, this game isn't pushed back any further and we finally get to enter this beautiful city. Let's go!

It's fast early game pressure. You need to have a luck to not build a shield or have the other team rush early on. Get your Profit out ASAP and picking up supplies and clearing other bases. Build that airpad on the last pad instead of the shield. Build at least 6 Banshees as fast as you can. More would help, but every second counts in the early game. Make sure you have the first ability for the Banshees so they can zip around. Then from there you're basically on patrol making sure your opponents can't get any second bases up. Hopefully your teammates are with you and help provide some pressure or distractions. After just a few minutes of this, your adversaries will resign if they don't have an early defence or proper teamwork in place. Watch the video below.

This can be done at any point once you have that particular area or dungeon opened up. In this video, I searched for all of these power cells after I beat the game. Some of them I picked up along the way, those were the easy ones.

#1 Original ruin that Aloy falls into as a child.

Find it through a doorway of spikes you have to break open with your melee attack. The video shows the exact corridor and hallway where the cave is that contains the power cell. There is a big smash: 0:32.

#2 Not the number two in any certain order, but the number 3 power cell of the 5 that I collected. I had already opened the first part of the quest at the cost 2 power cells to unlock the door. So I had to pick up the other 3 and I wasn’t sure where exactly to look. I checked all 5 locations. That’s how the idea for this video came about.

ALL ABOARD THE NON-EXSISTENT HYPE TRAIN

There is an absolute frenzy for these consoles right now. Why? I don’t know. I don’t want one. For me it’s about playing the games. I don’t need a Series X to play Cyberpunk. It’ll run fine on my Xbox-whatever-amount-of-terraflops-edition I have now.

They sold out instantly online last week, mostly because bot and scalpers were in overdrive trying to capitalize on what would probably be bad security on Microsoft and Sony’s websites. The price on eBay was immediately 4 or 5 times the amount of the purchase price. Neither is worth $500 right now, let alone $2k. 

I'm not sure anyone was expecting this so soon. But here it is... Final Fantasy XVI

Gotta admit, this preview caught me a little off guard. I had no idea Square was working on another FF right now,but when I found out it was the FFXIV guys working on it, that made sense. They have been real slow with new FFXIV content this year and now we know why.

Some of my LESS classic moments playing Final Fantasy XII Remake. I hope to have more boss fight videos coming soon.

I really loved this remake. I honestly can't believe they pulled it off so well. I had two play throughs and loved every second of it. The game doesn't get really good until you beat it one time and start a new game. Then it feels like you really need to strategize and plan for the fighting. Make sure you check it out!

The Bat Family makes their video game debut in this co-op adventure.

Most appealing aspect here is to play co-op. I may have skipped the last few Batman games like this, but I will definitely give this a shot playing with my buddy next to me!

Prepare YOURSELF!

There is no video of me. There is only video of the new Halo. Behold.

This is not what I was expecting at all. Just a few minutes of actual gameplay and what they showed was not good at all. I don’t want to bitch, I definitely don’t want to bitch, but there was nothing, nothing in that trailer that had me in awe. No cool explosions like the Ratchet and Clank, no innovative new matchmaking or battle royal/big team battle gameplay mode. Just 117 shooting some grunts, elites, and brutes. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

August 11 has been a long time coming.

We've been stuck on the current patch of FFXIV for 5 months now (thanks, covid). Finally some more news about 5.3 is out and we have an official release date of August 11. 

Patch 5.3, titled Reflections in Crystal, is scheduled to release on August 11th and is the ideal opportunity for new players to dive into FINAL FANTASY XIV Online. Producer and Director Naoki Yoshida announced that alongside the streamlining of the main questline of the original game, A Realm Reborn™, players new to FINAL FANTASY XIV Online can enjoy an expanded free trial experience which will include all content from A Realm Reborn and the Heavensward™ expansion—including the entire Patch 3.x series—up to level 60. The freely playable content represents hundreds of hours of award-winning gameplay and story experiences and comes with no limit on playtime.

Additionally, all existing and future A Realm Reborn players will also have access to the complete Heavensward expansion and all the benefits it includes.

Patch 5.3 also features many trials and challenges for veteran players to enjoy, including the finale of the Shadowbringers™ storyline, the next chapter in the NieR-inspired YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse alliance raid series, and more.

Further details on content planned to launch in the Patch 5.3 series is outlined below:

Here's my favorite games from the E3 2020 Sony PlayStation Press Conference.

#10 Godfall™

Wow! What a bland and boring looking game. What happened to Gearbox? Did they just get lucky with Borderlands? I mean REALLY lucky. I can’t think of anything that worked out well for them. That Alien game, it was based on lies. The people were very pissed about that one and that game didn’t stand a chance when it went to market. That FPS LOL clone game came out around the same time as Overwatch right? And that didn’t survive either. I don’t know what to tell you about this game. I hate watching the trailer. Maybe we’ll see a better display of what this game is down the road. And here’s a pro-tip… Don’t use random music dubbed over your entire demo. We want to hear the sound effects.

The 2020 evolution of the PlayStation. Here is our first look at the PlayStation 5.

Rumored to be $700 and launch with a bunch of games that may not be a big deal to some. Like me. Don't listen to me. I play a lot of Caravan Stories right now and not a lot else. I recently installed Horizon Dawn and am about to give it a try for the very first time. Horizon Dawn 2 was shown during this press conference, so I figure I better be ready for that. The game always looked like fun.

The new PlayStation 5 will launch with a discless version, called the Digital Edition. This version of the console will be strictly for those of you who do not do physical copies at all. I'm a big fan of that style too. Owning a digital copy is easier to keep in your long term library. If you have to buy and keep old consoles just to play because you only have on disc, it does get harder if you don't have proper storage for them. So hopefully on PS5 I can download old PS4, PS3, etc. that I purchased digitally and they will just work. Am I dreaming? Have we come to that era?
