No been spending my money on Steam with the Summer Sale.
Myself, I tend to gravitate towards open world games like GTA, RDR, Skyrim and Fallout, mainly due to the exploration aspect of it. They get especially appealing to me once I've leveled the character up enough so I'm not constantly looking over my back, or getting blocked from going into some area due to some foes who way overpower me.
Games for me are an escape from the stress of the week, and I find few things more relaxing than filling up a pint glass with a nice sippin' beer, firing up an open world game, taking a look around, and just walking toward that mountain in the distance and seeing what happens along the way.
It's this sorta stuff that has me especially excited for No Man's Sky when it comes out next month. I wonder what sorta beer will go along with deep space exploration...

I've started applying to local breweries. If I get picked up, I'll recommend some space-exploration ales.

You will, of course, need to send some down, for quality control, of course. Yeah. Quality control. Of course.

Anyone else get Pokemon Go yet?
I've messed with it a bit since yesterday and maybe it's just not for me. Don't come across nearly enough Pokemon to make it fun. It also doesn't work half the time, servers overloaded.
last four:
black widow - 8
zero dark thirty - 9
the muse - 7
freaky - 7

It's so fun.

Hey, even I, Dukefrukem, hater of all things Nintendo, downloaded it.
I found my third Pokemon today. I've never enter the world of the Poke-anything. Its amusing.
How many deaths are we estimating Pokemon Go is going to cause by the end of 2016?
My town common was full of 3 dozen or so kids walking around playing this game. I've never seen my common that full unless it was a Christmas Tree lightening, memorial, farmers market or festival.
I grudgingly downloaded it yesterday, and went a wee bit crazy with it today....
First true Pokemon experience, and I'm cracking out on it.
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
It's fun. Also, makes it easy to strike up random conversations at a bar when others are catching Pokemon. I like it.
I was getting my tires rotated when some dummy started waving his phone around the waiting area trying to catch one. He looked so stupid. Yes, it was me.

Happy Prime day

Meeting new people because of it is certainly one of the best things about it, and it's precisely because you look like a fucking idiot playing it in public. If you're two people roaming around a park fountain back and forth with a phone in front of your face trying to find a Pokemon, not saying something to each other would seem unnatural, you know?

Announcing out loud what pokemon you got is pretty amusing too.
"Oh hell yeah, a Magnetite!"
"Huh?"
"I'll have a Heavy Melon Ale please."
Classic NES is coming back.

Bet your fucking ass I'm gonna buy one. I never finished Ghosts and Goblins. Wonder if it will have expansion packs to add more games. Even if not, the ability to easily play these old games any time I want would be awesome. Imagine if they did the same thing for SNES some time down the road.
Cheap, too.

WTF??
That thing is going to sell like crazy.
Ha, I wonder what year of Tecmo Bowl.
$60 is a solid deal. Best thing Nintendo has done... since Pokemon Go...
