Ha that's crazy. I finished with 10. All my losses but one were within one goal. Bunch went to ET and pens. So sweaty.

Vini has pinged pass++ apparently.

10 is nice. Rewards are shit but at least you got two swap players. Good job.

And holy shit, that pass. :laugh: Stupid card is too OP with passing like that. The aim was user error, of course. Just gotta learn to control that power and you’re set.

I’m currently trying to figure out how I can fix certain spots on my team but I’ve woven such an insane web to get 33/33 chem that everything I try ruins it all lol. I want Cech’s head on a spike but that currently seems impossible because of that icon chem. Same thing for Makelele.

I played the hell out of guild wars back in the day. Never got into the second one for some reason, id guess it was due to having less time to play.
It’s now free to play on steam so I’ve been giving it a go. Not a bad game.

I played about 200 hours as an Engineer in GW2, and then I thought to myself, yeah this is good enough, and I moved onto something else. I didn't hate GW2, it just didn't have true staying power for me.

Picked up Subnautica on sale... holy hell, why have I waited so long to play this game??

I'm only a few hours in, and having a blast so far.

Game is really cool. I haven't played it since it got all updated and dlc'd. I played it in beta where there just the shallows and the ship lol

Oh man, I'm guessing the shallows is the area near the pod where you can see an outcropping from the ocean? From all the comments I've read, this version of the game is a lot more polished in content and performance.

I explored my first dark cave earlier and got one shotted by some boom fish. Ugh.

I'm a sucker for survival crafting games, and this one seems to pretty solid.

I loved the premise of it except for the lack of combat. I needs me the combat.
I’m a big fan of survival/crafting games. Top two for me have to be Conan/ark, with an honorable mention to PALworld

I've only played a few but really tend to like them too. No Man's Sky, Grounded, The Long Dark, Rust, Valheim.

Ever play Green Hell? I've wanted to play that for a while - good sale price right now.

I could see how it’s fun but it really takes the survival aspect and ramps it up. Food and water really matter.
Enemies seem to spawn from no where, at least back when I played it.
It was fun for a little bit but then got too unfair.
I enjoyed the trial of grounded I played for what it was. I couldn’t get into valheim after 10 hours or so.
I like the freedom to make a base wherever I want as big or small as I want. If the game doesn’t have that I generally can’t stick with it.
I also almost exclusively play them offline solo. Those games communities are far too toxic to play online. If it’s pvp you get spawn camped or rolled by the alpha clan, or the alpha clan alliances with two or three slightly inferior clans to lockout a vital resource.
If it’s pve you have some random building material spammed across the whole map preventing you from building anything decent.

I think you can choose different game modes in Green Hell - Survival, Story, Sandbox, Hardcore.

I played Grounded co-op with a friend, and that was fun. Same with No Man's Sky. But generally I play solo as well.

I play way too much XCOM 2. It's my goto if I don't have anything else to play. Just finished my umpteenth run through. Still working my way through Alan Wake II and now Subnautica.

@FLYguy3911 if even half of these Winter Wildcard leaks are real then I’m saying “f*** TOTY” and opening every saves pack :laugh:

That was my plan anyway. I already skipped two promos. I need fodder for the daily SBCs they usually drop during WW.

I have 120 packs saved and a bunch of unclaimed player picks.
 
  • Wow

120?!

Are most of those shitty little packs or are you a REAL freak? :laugh:

Probably. I don't really look. I just collect them from objectives. :laugh:

They haven't dropped an upgrade pack since Thanksgiving.

edit: Futcoder says I have 1.4 million worth of packs.

A bunch are silver and bronze packs I haven't opened from the Gold upgrade too lol.

ahh ok, I thought that had to be the case. Like you said, there’s been like one decent upgrade SBC all year.

But hey, I got Mbappe from a mere 81x2, so anything is possible.

They re-released a Best Of collection today. So I guess pack weight will be even more watered down for tomorrow.

I thought winter sale was the 21st?
Makes sense that I got an email saying 19 things on my wishlist were on sale now. Ty.
