Some are good, most are bad...but even some of the bad ones can be good, right?
Millions have tried the game, but what will it take for them to stick around?
Sometimes you just can't keep a game down!
What does the survival game do to stand out in a VERY crowded space.
QotW: LotR is pretty much the birth of the genre, most things, like D&D, evolved from it and medieval fantasy has it's roots there so in that sense "re-touching" the story is like putting new Apostles on the Bible but if you were to tell a tale that happened somewhere else WHILE that event happened I guess it could be interesting but nonetheless wouldn't that make it outshined by the first event in the 1st place? I don't know, I guess it would fall on the storyteller's lap to make it as meaningful for the characters involved as is the Frodo vs Gollum in Mordor event.
Bombs: A-Bomb to Twitch.tv/jasonwinter, I hate tweeter and so I don't know his schedule and so yesterday I was finally able to catch him streaming (Tomb Raider??? What???), and as I am setting myself confortable to start bashing his skills he goes like "I'm sorry Hellsworth for you to join so late but I'm just finishing up!" and puff... save and out :D! Also A-Bomb to NINTENDO SWITCH, It's the "Return of the Jedi Consoler" moment of the month (Poke @Zach Sharpes sorry just had to ). /sigh Where to begin... Let's see, the feeling I have from "the console" is that it's a freakin' tablet with a custom pad, anyone thought what'll happen when you or your son gets jacked on the bus and part of your console is gone? I mean how much "graphx" can you pull out on a tablet or do you want to just play mario 64 for the rest of your life? 4k games are coming out this year using latest drivers and hardware and these guys are trying to sell people overpriced tablets with a custom pad... c'mon! Da-Bomb to Mike Byrne it's seems I never find a good reason to bash him for a bit. :D
Pity i missed the top 5 question last week, but here is a belated suggestion, a top 5 of games that have the most falling deaths for each of the presenters but mainly magic
From the various interviews SSG have done, it sounds as though the ring's destruction will be a major story, but it'll happen very early on in the expansion, so most of the content takes place afterwards. They've said they've had big plans for the end of the ring since the game first came out.
On top of that they're changing the animations and character models (which will be switchable), and they've recently added a lot of landscape frills transforming the look, both of which might please Zach (da bomb to that).
PS: 384 is 256 + 128 ;)
