Upcoming games....gonna be busy lol

 Busy playing all these games!

I can’t remember a time where I had so many games I wanted to play coming out in a short period . Planning on making twitch and YouTube content on all of them but man it’s gonna be busy.

First up is Crusader Kings 3. I absolutely loved the second one and look forward to playing this one from the start. Paradox makes the best simulation games and I’m hoping this will be no exception.

Then we have Squadrons coming out. I have longed for a TIE fighter like multiplayer game for so long and now we are finally getting it. Can’t wait to squad up and play with friends.

Sometime Shadowlands will be releasing which means more fresh WoW content and a rekindling of my love. 

Then CoD 2020 which will hopefully be a huge improvement over the piece of shit that was Modern Warfare Multiplayer.

After that in short succession we have Assassins Creed Valhalla and Cyberpunk 2077. I’m looking forward to AC and have been working my way through Odyssey for the first time. Cyberpunk is my most anticipated game in years and the hype is through the roof for me.

Further down the line Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2 are heavily on my radar.

Looks like a great time to be a gamer!

Gaming Updates

 So not much gaming in the last few days as we made a trip out of state to deal with some family stuff. Before that however there was plenty of gaming.

Recently been playing WoW of course. Sporadically and I get a little bored but I really do need to get cracking on leveling the rest of my Alts while the xp buff is still active. At about 3.5 million gold on my account now I think after filling my battle net balance back up.

I have been working my way through assassins creed odyssey for the first time. It’s a lot of fun but I probably need to chill on the side quests if I ever want to finish.

I started a full playthrough of Farcry5 on my YouTube channel with no commentary . I know I enjoy just watching the story and talking can overshadow that .

I also started Vikings: Wolves of Midgard since I love trying out ARPGs to see what they bring to the table. I’m going to be posting some let’s plays of that as well.

What have y’all been up to in the blogosphere?

YouTube and Twitch

 Hey guys it’s been another year come and gone! Still playing WoW a bit along with some other stuff. I started a YouTube so if you want to follow me I’m at https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCyqmBEs-Grx7fmpaY7xmbEQ

You can also find me on twitch as Bigjuicyhog. Feel free to drop by and say hello. I may be a boomer now but I’m still at it.

Well Hello there!

well it has been about a year since my last post so letting the nobody that still reads this know I’m still alive. Still playing games and excited about some of the games coming out soon.

I recently got back into wow as of a couple of days ago since you can apparently earn flying for this expansion. I don’t understand the bullshit time gating at all. It honestly makes the game much less enjoyable for each character you need to level. I have been playing this game long enough . I don’t need an artificial grind to play .

Other than recently resubbing to wow I have been playing Black Ops 4 to prepare for the upcoming shooters. I will be getting Modern Warfare on Xbox and Borderlands 3 on the PC.

Blogging ain’t what it once was. It has been replaced by YouTube and Instagram and any number of other social media platforms. But they aren’t the same. It was amazing finding other bloggers and following their journeys. This was a fun little hobby. Never something for money . And it was great for a time. Now it is just another little blip in history.

I guess until next time....if there is a next time. Who knows . Maybe I should get with the times and post shit on other platforms . Or maybe I will just enjoy life without worrying about views and other dumb shit.

Lol What is this, Burning Crusade?

Why you do dis Blizz and Happy Birthday D3!

Seriously, this is the longest two weeks I have ever had to a wait for a game. I want to get my grubby little mitts on Overwatch, and there is still another week to go.

Mostly been playing Diablo 3, working on some stuff in season.

Speaking of D3, today is its 4th birthday. It has basically been two games in the time since it was released. When it came out, while I did enjoy it, the game was way too fucking hard, and the drops were shit. You were literally better off having yellow armor than legendaries. You could of course sell stuff on the AH, which just meant that bots ended up making a lot of money. I actually made enough to buy Cataclysm, so I guess I cant complain too much.

They really turned the game around though, and it became a really fun loot based game with a competitive side should you like that sort of thing. Great job Blizzard.

On a Destiny note, while I have not been playing, I have been quite happy that the community is continuing to roast Bungie about skill based matchmaking. It looks like they may actually do something about it this time.

And for you Overwatch hankering, here is the new animated short they released today.

And so my Watch has ended......

No, I am not in the Nights watch, but the Overwatch beta is now over and I have to wait another two weeks to play it again. And I am a sad panda.

After getting to play it for a week, I am still of the opinion that Overwatch is one of the most fun shooters I have played in a long time. Each hero is different and unique, and pretty much every character was enjoyable.

I played a lot of different characters, but I ended up mostly choosing two depending on offense and defense.

On offense, I ended up picking McCree mostly. He is very strong and has very high DPS as long as you land your flashbang. The flashbang/fan the hammer combo will one shot most players that arent tanks. He is a really nice counter to a couple of the really ebola characters, namely Tracer and Mei. His super is underwhelming, and he is pretty slow, but the combo makes him a 1v1 master.

The player I play on defense, and most people seem to be bad at is Torbjorn. The thing about most Torbjorns is that if you kill their turret, they run away like a little bitch. That is actually quite dumb honestly, as I have solo killed every character in the game with Torbjorn that has the turret dead. People really underestimate the amount of damage his shotgun like attack does. It two shots a lot of heroes, and I have killed many many people trying to flank around to take out my turret.

Another nice thing he has are the armor packs. They give you 75 additional health basically, and you can make more by picking up scrap that drops from dead players. In a 1v1 you can often engage, retreat, throw yourself and armor pack, and re engage. I had 54 elminations in one game with him as well as another game that I had a 40 kill streak. It is all about good turret placement so that it doesnt get sniped and that it gets to do its thing while your team is harassing the opposing team.

Overall, I cannot wait for the game to come out, and I suppose in the meantime I will be playing mostly Diablo as I have pretty much completely quit Destiny at this point. I would be getting mad at the game even if I was doing very well, and I just dont need to be stressed about something that dumb. If they ever fix the matchmaking, I may eventually play a bit again, but I am pretty certain that it has already been replaced by Overwatch.
