About halfway through Pokemon: Lets Go, Pikachu.

That's not your character.

This dude?

Seems to be implied by the voiceover, but ok.

Ah, thought you were talking about the old guy.

I was pretty unimpressed with Anthem when it was announced, but it's actually starting to look compelling now.

Still on Assassin's Creed Odyssey right now. Loving the hunting down of other mercenaries and the cult members.

Gonna watch this later, but I agree when Anthem was announced I thought "Really, this is your big new game? This is what you're moving away from Mass Effect for?"

Found a copy of Star Tropics for the NES, never played it and I'm pleasantly surprised. Truly a great game, but unforgiving difficulty shifts midway through.

Fallout 76 and some Fortnite right now. Need to catch back up on my Madden Ultimate Team.

I finally got my platinum for Battlefield 1 so now I need to go back and finish a bunch of games. Still need to finish the Bloodborne DLC, started the Witcher 3, Started Assassin's Creed Odyssey, started God of War, started Telltale's Walking Dead and so on... There's way too many good games!

I thought this was America, man!

Ripped from the headlines of the CCS mod forum!

"Fallout: New California is the best Fallout game you'll play this year"

https://www.pcgamer.com/fallout-new-california-is-the-best-fallout-game-youll-play-this-year/

It's free, I never played New Vegas so if I bought it for $10 I would be getting 2 games. If you already own NV it's just a free game.

"I didn’t think I’d ever go back to the 3D Fallout games after playing them to death, but this made them exciting again. Longtime Fallout fans will also appreciate the attention to detail when it comes to the story, as this is arguably more respectful of the series’ lore than what Bethesda and even Obsidian came up with in their games."

PCGamer seems to really like it.

GTX 1070 Ti's going for as low as $335 now. Might be too good to pass up.

Getting ready to build my first PC soon. Trying to knock out this final credit card before buying a monitor and chassis.

I'm addicted to Civilization VI on the Switch. Was playing Super Smash Brothers, Mutant Football League, and NBA 2K19, but Civ VI has taken most of my attention lately.

how is Civ 6 compared to 5?

I just got back into the DLC for Bloodborne. Man that game is outstanding.

RTX 2060 performance is out and it's virtually a tie with the GTX 1070 Ti. With the 2060 at $350, that should cause the 1070 Ti prices to drop significantly if retailers want to move the remaining inventory. I'd go with the 1070 Ti just for the extra VRAM.
