I've played Farming Simulator 2015. It's a great way keep busy (kind of) while listening to some podcast. FS always reminds me of Cox n' Crendor which is what I listened to when I played. I like to drive around and just mow grass everywhere

That's usually what I do too. Mute the TV and listen to podcasts/audiobooks. It's a good way for me to wind down before I got o bed.

A Digital Frontier.
Got into the Quake Champions beta. I'm under NDA so I can't divulge any details, but it's very fun. Reminds me of the good ol' days of Quake 3.

COD WWII for this fall looks sweet. No question that WWII games got old on old gen but I'm kinda excited to see one for new gen.
Went to Walmart this morning after work and came home with Doom, Grand Theft Auto 5, and Fallout 4.
For 95 bucks.
I think that's gonna be money very well spent.
There are some scenarios I think. Especially if the XB1 version comes with Natural Disasters included.

Watch the world burn
Fallout 4 is definitely very good. As is GTA V.
The beauty of those games is you can go like 6 months or a year without playing and jump right back in. I go in spurts like that with Fallout 4, GTA V, and Skyrim.

I tried to get into Fallout 4 but I just couldn't. Was a huge let-down from the previous games in the franchise (well, minus FO3). Basically none of the choices you make actually have any impact on the game and the dialogue wheel options are vague and sometimes inaccurate. Plus the dialogue is just not very great. Such a pretty game and there was a really cool world built around a mediocre main game.
If it wasn't called "Fallout" I'd probably enjoy it more, but I expected a RPG and I got more of an Action-Adventure game. Like if they would've had FO4's world, with NV's dialogue/options, and none of that building crap that would be one of the best games ever.

I bought PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. I've never played mouse/keyboard before, so that takes some adjustment. So far my best is 18th in solo (twice). Basically my strategy has been to jump off the plane to somewhere sparse, hope you find a car, then just drive quite a ways away to start looting in peace. Lotta fun so far even if I suck.

I wish I had a PC to play that on, I keep watching the Giant Bomb streams and it looks so fun.
This is literally the first PC game I've ever bought. I bought a good enough gaming laptop a few months back, and I'm running with the graphics set to pretty low, but it still runs very well. It is definitely fun... if you're good.
I think duo/squad would be more fun than solo too. From the streams I've watched, it gets super intense at the end, but I've only made it to 18th, so not quite there yet.The good news is that it's supposedly coming to consoles down the line, but I'm guessing that's a long ways off still.
I think this sums up my feelings on FO4 really, really well.
It's not that it's a bad game. To me, it's just not a great Fallout game. I put maybe 15-20 hours into 4 and just wasn't in love and the story hadn't sucked me in. Set it down for some other flavor of the month, and never went back.
I think a bit of it is fatigue with Bethesda's style of open-world RPGs, too. From FO3, to Skyrim, to FO4, they just feel very similar to me.

They describe it as a "rhythm violence" game. You're on a track and you have to do the correct actions as you go at some pretty breakneck speeds. it's a game that you just turn off the lights, put on some headphones on real loud, and get in a zone.
It's a game that i've seen gameplay of but it never really made me want to play it, but once I started actually playing it I fell in love. Came out last year for PC/PS4 but it just came out on the Switch.

Is there a better way to spend a nite than with a crap ton of beer, a fifth of Jack and Worms: Armageddon?

Playing a drunk friend in it while similarly drunk, duh.
I've gotten in to borderlands and its sequels. God damn this series is addicting.
