Congrats, that's awesome!!
Yeah like others have said it's the way the QL is shown but you're not wrong it's a hard game to show off if you don't know where to go.
The best plan would have been to basically have an itinerary to show off the game.
Here's a good fight, here's a fun quest, here's good character writing, fin.
It's less organic but it's better than just standing around for half of the QL.

Just finished Uncharted LL. Man, Brad was totally right! That game is fantastic! The last 30 minutes (including credits) was making me smile and cheer the entire time!!!
I know it's already been said a million times, but this year is one of the best in gaming history.

If you're not pickpocketing skillbooks from every vendor in Divinity while distracting the vendor by having another character talk to them, you're doing it wrong.
Also, having an undead rogue or shadowblade is super useful. No need for lockpicks!
QL was kinda disappointing for it's relative shortness and the fact that neither Vinny nor Rorie seem to have their head around some of the basic aspects of the game. I'd love to see Brad give it a shot.

The Forza 7 talk on the latest Bombcast is disappointing to hear. I, at least, feel even more ok about cancelling my Scorpio One X since I was going to get Forza with it. All aboard that Gran Turismo Sport hype train now; have the demo pre-loading for Monday. It's really cool since it seems that it is the full game and if I want to buy it on launch day, which is when I'll be getting paid, I will be able to purchase it and start playing immediately.

I don't really see it. What games cement this year for you? I think there have been a lot of very good games, but pretty much no really transcendent ones that I'm gonna rhapsodize about 2 years from now, so far.
I am nearly 50 hours into a 3 man coop game of Divinity OS 2. Scheduling can be a bitch sometimes, but it is so rewarding.
I thought the elemental combat system in OS 1 was perfect, but I like the near endless combinations in OS 2 even better, mainly because of the new Physical/Magical armor system. Yesterday we tried beating one combat encounter we should have ignored for a good ~3 levels for 2-3 hours and got so close to beating it once. But giving up did not feel bad, because the time spend just arguing about who should cast what next and what to focus etc was so much fun - in coop the game feels like one long game of Pen&Paper Dungeons&Dragons.
Plus the story (the one major weak point of OS 1) is engaging this time around, Larian reduced the hit&miss humor a bit (Avallone and other new writers on board surely helped a ton). Pet pal talent to speak to any animal is still a must have though!

Breath of The Wild, Nier Automata, Cuphead, Horizon Zero Dawn, Destiny 2, PUBG, Mario x Rabbids, Divinity 2, Uncharted Lost Legacy, plus countless others. It's been a nonstop ride. I can't even get to them all and we still have Mario Odyssey coming. Just pure quality games of so many different types

This has been my first year entirely on pc and it's been pretty incredible. It's crazy how few "aaa" games I've played and the quality, great games available still almost never ends.
Yep, the last bit of that game was just a wild celebration of Uncharted. What a good thing LL is.

Divinity 2 seems like a game Dan would really love.

What gave you that impression? It seems like the least Dan friendly game around.

I've fallen off hard playing the traditional AAA games, and yeah, still struggling to find time to play all the games I want. Although I primarily play on PC, I bought more PS4 games this year than the previous few combined, and I haven't bought Uncharted LL yet.
I'm gonna end up balancing Divinity 2, Mario Odyssey, and Wolfenstein 2. Any other year Evil Within 2 would've been my main focus, but I might have to skip it for now. And I still need to play Nier Automata, dammit.
What? Why?
It's hard to believe Jeff has different, much better things to say about GT (outside of the VIP/mod stuff)

Daggering expert.
(Also cool Ryan crochet)
Outside of actually liking Star Wars, I feel about the same as Jeff when it comes to the new Battlefront games. I played the beta for about an hour this morning and I think I'm good. The game looks really good and plays well, but I don't see myself playing much more of it now or at launch.

I'm watching Abby playing Layers of Fear and something about it is making me incredibly motion sick. What's weirder is that I played Layers of Fear when it was in early access and didn't get motion sick at all. No idea what about watching someone else play is causing motion sickness.

It should be if we were to go by the Beastcast since he mentioned an episode ago that he's willing to give his launch Xbox One to Abby especially since all she wants to play on it right now is Cuphead.
Yeah just trying to connect the dots here. Because I thought he was also playing like 30 minutes of Rock Band every night.
Could just be borrowing it for the weekend; Cuphead isn't that long, right?

I'm about...3 hours in, and have 3 of the World 3 bosses left.
Depends on skill level I guess?

To each their own! I'm a sucker for things like Trials HD (and the sequels), Super Meat Boy, etc.
If you don't have the charge shot, let me highly recommend it to you. I was stuck for 20-30 min on two bosses (and couldn't progress the game at all) until I got it. Next attempts at both bosses were pieces of cake.

Better be quick about it though because it's going to get patched.
Charge and smoke dash are easily the best upgrades in the game. I gotta beat this before they nerf my charge shot

Almost done with the game! Don't think I'll get burnt, haha.

It happens on the WrassleGAF thread here and there, but are there rules for this thread about posting life stuff?
I BS with you all a lot, and I'm having a really bad time dealing with some family stuff. I just want someone's opinions I guess?

Here we go...
Short version of a long issue - My grandmother (who made it to almost 93!) was told today by her doctor that she has about two weeks left to live, and that they'll make sure that she is as comfortable as she can be. (She's been going through chemo for almost a year now, and she's gotten sick too many times from it for them to want to keep doing it. That's why I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt with the timeline.)
Anyway, today I went with my mom to visit her in the hospital, and my mom gave me time with my grandmother to say goodbye to her.
While saying goodbye to her, I was an absolute wreck, but now that I'm home I don't know how I feel.
Like...I don't know how I'm supposed to deal with this at this point. I said goodbye to her, but she's not "gone" yet. Typing this is making me freak out again about it, and I'm sure if I really wanted to, I could go say bye again, but I don't know what that would do. I'm sure she'd LIKE to see me again, but I feel like her and I made our peace about "our" relationship.
I'm just rambling at this point, so has anyone else had to go through with this? Am I normal? Or am I fucked up because of how I feel at the moment? (I can accept either, it's fine).

You made your peace that shes leaving so you're "ready" and you know you said what you needed to when she goes but if you want more time with her you should take it. It will be hard when she goes no matter what and skipping out on time with her won't save you pain.

First of all, I am sorry to hear that and I feel for you. I was in a somewhat similar situation with my Grandfather in that he died out of the blue before I was able to even meet him for the last time. I think what you're feeling is extremely normal, for me, it didn't hit me that he passed away until a few days later. We all grief in our own ways and that's completely normal.
I would say though that there's nothing wrong with visiting as much as you could? Not many people have the chance to do so, so I say take it and use that time to just have a heart to heart talk and shit. Relish those moments, you'll thank yourself later for it. Her passing away now or later or at anytime will always be hard, distancing yourself won't make things better so just, brace yourself and be ready for whatever.
Sorry to hear what you're going through, I had a similar case with an aunt a couple of years ago. Basically - nobody's ever regretted having more time. If you feel you're able, I would consider visiting while you can as there's absolutely no harm in it.
