New game recommendation for anyone looking for an open world game: Ghost of Tsushima. It's basically Assassin's Creed in Japan but not complete dogshit :laugh:

I will say it's easy to get burned out on it though. I've put in 20 hours and just got through Act 1, when it immediately cut to Act 2 my thought was "man I need a break".
 
Not sure if this is the right place to ask anyone but didn’t want to start a new thread….

I recently switched to T-Mobile internet instead of Xfinity and when I try to use the sportsnet Pittsburgh app it says I’m out of market according to the Philadelphia IP address that T-Mobile uses. Does anyone know a way around this or know if espn+ has EVERY penguins game available to “out of market” areas? Thank you.

Edit- After a little research it looks like ESPN+ has all the games except for ones that are on TNT which id get on MAX.

It's really good for the historical/atmospheric stuff and the combat is excellent. But yeah, it's A LOT.

When my friend upgraded to a PS5 a couple years ago I bought his PS4 Pro mostly just to play this game and a handful of other Sony exclusives I had missed over the years while on Steam.

One of the best console games I've ever played. I think I might have 100 percented that one. I re-bought it recently on Steam just to try it out on my setup.

But yeah it'll suck you in for hours at a time and before you know it it's 4AM and you're like "I need to go to bed and maybe not play this for a day or two for my own health" lol

Yeah I started up Act 2 and my stomach sank when I saw the map in Act 2. It's a super fun game but yeah it's one you really have to pace yourself out on.

I went back to the original island to try and finish that then I'll go onto the next island.

For real ive been super interested in that game but the giant world has kept me away. Well that, no playstation, a 100 game backlog, and a 5 year old laptop :laugh:

Bring back individual levels in games! I still haven't played a stealth game I like more than tenchu stealth asdassins. Being able to just pick and level and then redo the for better scores is more my style than a big world. But this gameplay looks so good.

I didn't think the world map was that overwhelming TBH. The game does a pretty good job of not making you comb the entire countryside if you don't WANT to and there are some really cool ways that the game is always pointing you in the right direction.

Speaking of Japanese stuff, I finally started Attack on Titan last night. So far so good. But a while back I did have something spoiled for me. It's that thing Eren can do.

I think I only watched around 5-6 episodes years ago and I passed the point where Eren does what Eren can do so it's not much of a spoiler. There are definintely bigger (lol) ones that I have had ruined for me that come later on.

Yeah when I first watched AoT, I spoiled myself after one of the early episodes because I went on the wiki page confused :laugh:

AoT changes a lot during the entirety of it, both due to the animators changing and also the tone of the anime, but the early episodes do a phenomenal job at making titans look downright terrifying and humanity hopeless against them.
 
Yes.

Naples, Rome, Vatican City, Athens
Ok, we actually didn’t do Athens. I will say for the Vatican, don’t just show up. Apparently you can expect to wait hours to even get in. Whatever it costs, find a “skip the line tour” (there’s probably a bunch of options online). As the name suggests, it’s a small group tour that lets you skip the huge lines. Definitely worth it.

The Steelers bar in Rome is pretty cool. If you’re there on a game day and want to watch, get there at least 1.5-2 hours before game time
