Finally finished the main story in the Witcher. Amazing game. Started the first DLC now. Took me a while to get through it, but it is probably tied with LiS for my favorite game of 2015. Other than the controls which can be a bit wonky, it really is the complete package

The Blood and Wine DLC looks amazing. Crazy that both DLC adds like 50 hours of content. Can't wait to see what CDPR does with Cyberpunk.

Yeah now that two DLC's are out I might get them both and delve back in. Will there be three? Then might wait til the third

I didnt think youd make it through Witcher before you died of old age but I was wrong! Congrats!!!

lol, you bastard

Fallout will likely be that game. Don't think I will every catch up with Assassins Creed. I blame getting back into Halo.

For whatever reason I couldnt get into F4. I'll likely give it another try but it just felt clunky.
 
I've been playing Fallout 4, so much better in survival mode. Though I ran into a game breaking bug that could be fixed via console commands, which is disabled in survival mode. Luckily there's a mod for that. The story and dialogue system are still awful and I'm not usually on the bandwagon of Bethesda story bashing.

Really excited for Blood and Wine, going to do play it back to back with Hearts of Stone. But where the hell is my stand alone Gwent game? Gwent is the true GoTY of 2015. That and Halo 5 MP.
 
What turned me off from Fallout 4 was the conversation choice, I liked it when your protagonist was silent in those games

You can be a nice guy who helps people, a mean guy who helps people or a sarcastic guy who helps people. What's not to like? Yeah, it sucks. While I like it in Mass Effect, it just kills the ability to craft your own character, especially when it's coupled with a pre-determined origin. In Fallout 3 and NV you can do some pretty abhorrent things, while 4 is pretty tame.

AZ Republic: Coyotes' John Chayka out to prove analytics not a bad word

To understand what defines John Chayka, the Coyotes’ wunderkind general manager, is to appreciate how he and his father managed to connect with the winningest coach in NHL history, a meeting that would prove pivotal in his career ascent.

Persistence. Focus. Geniality.

When a back injury derailed Chayka’s plan to attend Cornell on a hockey scholarship eight years ago, he immersed himself in the world of analytics and saw a career opportunity. But he knew he needed the second opinion of a great hockey mind.

“How about Scotty Bowman?” his father, Terry, asked.

“How can we do that?” John said.

Story of how dude tracked down Bowman

Five days later, Bowman, who was retired after a lengthy career that included nine Stanley Cups, called back. The young entrepreneurs flew to Tampa, Fla., to meet him and found out Bowman had possessed a similar interest in analytics … for several decades.

The young Chayka impressed him with his thoroughness, knowledge and approachability.

It was an important meeting because Bowman would help open doors down the road, but also confirmation that the business idea he had was a good one. The 19-year-old Chayka soon launched the hockey analytics company Stathletes, which would eventually grow from two to 55 staff members, and would lead to league-wide respect, important relationships and his dream job, an NHL general manager.

Analytics, Chayka said, “isn’t about standing around handing out stat sheets. It’s more of a way of starting a conversation, of having a discussion about how to get better. It’s very relational.”

I believe it was what hunter is doing now

Hunter was probably going to be the GM
Yeah it was probably in a postion like this.

Though tbh I doubt he would join the leafs f/o now since there really aren't any major vacancies like there were a year ago, but I guess you never know with Shanahan.
