Best & Worst of the week (Try to stick to 1 Best thing and 1 Worst thing)

Best:  Texans comeback (did miss it) Worst: Game time decision vote

Best:  New truck     Worst:  parking it in my garage/ selling my charger

Best: The Reaction my family had seeing me for the first time since losing 85+ pounds Best: My son’s marching band, The Golden Regimen absolutely crushing it at competitions, they’ve placed first in all 3 so far, this weekend I’ll be in STL for his BOA competition. :-)

 

Our World (Top 3 Things you saw, heard or played)  Mafia III, 6-0 in Work FFL,

BIG TIME GAMING

Mafia III

Our impressions

Vladz: The Music List of Songs by Artist - incredible, over 100 songs put you in that time frame, language & dialect - glad they didn’t go political correct and let you experience the whole vibe, big city, cool stuff to do, cool ways to kill people, gators, old faces (Vito), LOVE THIS GAME !!!

TMO: Hanger 13 did a great time of putting the late 60’s in the South to life with damn good story.  Hangar 13, led by industry veteran Haden Blackman, formerly creative director for LucasArts. The music pulls you in along the characters, voice acting, and finally the city New Bourdeaux

 

Gears of War 4

Our impressions

Vladz: Smooth, Beautiful, Felt like Gears, multiplatform / play anywhere is an awesome benefit - Co-op, but they should allow xbox vs pc if you are playing with a controller…. That being said, I’m not sure how they’d know/it would work. Other than that… awesome to have a new Gears. Not sold on the campaign… Didn’t like the parts of ACT 1 that much… too many DBs, doors and more doors and more DBs. Then the ‘Oh, this is where they want us to see what Horde mode is all about’ - co-op would have been better experience there.  I guess, ACT 2 & 3 were much better.  But concerned that with only another full ACT to go (5 chapters) and the last one with only 2 chapters I hope it is satisfying. Sort of wished the would have expanded the visual style more. Looked like Gears of old but better colors, reminded me of Fable sort of.

Derek:  very pretty love the mp , gameplay was smooth , the story made me sad to see old people , new guns feel good except the enforcer feels weak sauce , horde was great a bit tougher, new the same enemies lol so far great all around experience.

Jay: Beautiful graphics, smoothest multiplayer yet. Dodgeball is the most fun new multiplayer gametype i’ve played in years. Horde is fun and tough. I haven’t had a chance to play the campaign yet.

Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 year celebration is out today

Stereotypes - Death Note director says live-action film will be full of nudity, swearing and violence 31 It’s not for children

Can we talk about the cast without twitter losing their minds? Death Note Netflix Live-Action ALREADY SUCKS!?

(Clip from Bluemanrule who is a BIG fan of Death Note and his thoughts on this casting choice) Not in clip but helps: “The gist of the clip is that this is the American interpretation of Death Note. As with other things like The Ring, the diversity reflects American sensibilities.  The tension is what made Deathnote stand out from every anime out there. So, while the physical appearance of the character assists in profiling the character, it the most aspect of Deathnote, which is the tension, will still be dependent upon actor delivery, music, and writing.”

It isn’t easy being an Asian-American actor in Hollywood

Is anyone still playing Pokemon Go ?  Hell no, lol.
