A lot of wild shit has gone on this year in my world. A lot of it bad. But I'm still here. Got a new job when I desperately needed it, so that's a plus. I'll discuss a bit more below if anyone is interested. But hi, I'm alive.
For those who've been away, rather you're on Cohost or not. We'd love to have you at our new community discord! I promise it's not just filled with heavy metal and big titties. Hit me up below or follow the link in the comments!
It's gotten buried under folks' Cohost posts, so one more call for anyone who's interested in joining a new community discord server, please let me know below! Several friendly faces there already, would love to see yours too! Invite in the comments!
Since this is likely the last time I'll get to talk to several of you, I figured I'd say my goodbyes. Any of you who stuck with me through the years, thanks. I'll miss you. I'll be starting a new Discord channel soon and I'd love to have you. Let me know!
Don't know what the fuck a cohost is, so I guess I'll just have the memories of you guys. This isn't even remotely the first time something fucked up has happened here. I guess it was just a matter of time. Guess I'll have the place to myself.
After years of rust, I decided to see where my ranked placements would put me at in Street Fighter 6. Platinum surprisingly. I thought I was far more washed up than this. Maybe it's time to get serious and actually train again?
Going from almost nothing to play to three heavy hitters at once in Street Fighter 6, Diablo 4, and Final Fantasy 16 all at once is kind of nuts. Great time to have my taste in video games now!
More games really need to offer couch co-op with full online functionality therein as well. Diablo 4 nailed it with this. Finally got a second PS5 controller and now my wife and I have been playing D4 with some friends online. It's great!
Marisa is great so far...but this iteration of Zangief is BEASTLY! Cannot wait to see the pro scene for this game. I think HeadStomper in Sweden is the first official major?
Some unknown Blizzard BS aside, Rhykker's Diablo 4 review is probably one of the most comprehensive for those on the fence about the game. Makes sense given that he's arguably THE best Diablo content creator out there. Great review though.
So...people who will be playing SF6 and Diablo 4; What characters/classes will you be playing? (Or in the case of SF6, which characters are you most looking forward to playing that we haven't gotten to try yet?) I'll answer my own question below!
It finally fucking happened. I joked about it for years. I lamented it's absence for years. But it's finally fucking happening! And the news has finally made my wife interested in trying the first game! Fuck yeah! Dragon's Dogma 2 baybee!
First paycheck came in from the new job today. Took care of a bunch of bills and groceries and then pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition of Street Fighter 6. Cannot fucking wait for this one!
I'm kind of out of the loop right now with games. But after finishing RE4 Remake I decided to give Dead Island 2 a try and I'm really enjoying that. I still haven't decided upon which character to play. Lenny Kravitz, Male Stripper, or Irish Woman?
For any Destiny players here. Byf's video here is rock solid. As THE lore guy of Destiny his take on the story means a lot to me. He makes some great points. But be warned, this contains MASSIVE spoilers for Lightfall if you care.
Traded in a stack of MTG cards at work and ordered a copy of Octopath 2 for the wife and Wo Long for myself. Very excite! Didn't think my cards were worth as much as they were.
You're one of the best guys I've ever met, Alpha. Happy birthday to you. And thanks for a badass theme song. You're the best!
Destiny's Lightfall Legendary campaign was no joke. There was some seriously taxing moments in that. I'm a veteran of every sort of Soulsborne and Soulslike game out there. I eat those for breakfast and love the misery. More below I suppose!
Just that kinda night.
I'll be damned. A copy randomly showed up at work. Didn't expect that. We rarely get new games in at all, especially harder to find ones.
Any other Kill Team/40K players here have a Blooded Kill Team they'd like to trade/sell by chance? Can't find one anywhere.
Almost forgot that Lightfall released today for Destiny. Too caught back up in the Elden Ring hype.
I just realized that Elden Ring has been out for just a bit over a full year now. I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate how absolutely brilliant this game truly was. What were your favorite moments? What was your favorite build?
One of the best parts about RE4 Remake being on the horizon is that I know Aris will play it on stream. Those streams are always pure joy. Game's gonna rock my ass off.
I finally get to do the thing! But what's in there? PS: It's not for children!
Current Status:
How does one play this damn class properly on a controller? Is there a trick I don't know to simplify it?
So many games coming out in the next 6 months that I'm interested in playing. A big difference from the majority of last year for me. RE4, Street fighter 6, Diablo 4, Octopath Traveler 2, FF16, Zelda, etc.
Why haven't we gotten a Warhammer game where you either play as a Witch Hunter (In AoS) or an Inquisitor (In 40k) and go and investigate crimes against the Emperor? Like, more investigative and detective oriented than action filled. Sounds amazing.
Damn. Rest in peace Tim Aymar. What a fantastic, underrated vocalist. He worked with a lot of big names, did vocal lessons and just overall seemed like such a nice, down to earth guy. His early Pharaoh work in particular was amazing. RIP.
