Need to check this out. Missed this one and only heard good things.

Cuphead on Switch

At the moment I’m enjoying Cuphead, Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil 4 on Switch. How about you?

I've heard the ol' "games as movies" thing bandied around as a pejorative, but to me, it's not much of a turn off. Personally, I feel like video games are such a wide canvas. Pac-man and Centipede are video games, as much as The Last Of Us and Heavy Rain. The thing is, video games have a much wider spectrum than many other forms of media, like books or movies, for example. Long story short, I really dig narrative-focused games but some other folks may not. Whatever floats ya boat, right?

The Xbox One S is great value for money, especially if you're on the market for a cheap 4k blu ray player. The X is a beast, but there are simply not enough games that take advantage of the extra horsepower. That said, I'd love to play some older games like Oblivion and Alien Vs Predator on the X.

Very tempting deal this. Really great value. https://www.shopto.net/en/xb1hws25-xbox-one-s-1tb-battlefield-v-deluxe-editi-p66099/?affiliate_source=aw&awc=2943_1559758098_f742bc0060ae32fa0dbbbadd709b01d5

Sweet price. https://www.shopto.net/en/xb1ba59-battlefield-v-p65989/?affiliate_source=aw&awc=2943_1559757103_90f64928b3e3d55fbb7d9e701730b618

Yeah, Minerva’s Den is supposed to be great so I’m looking forward to it, too. Hmm, I always thought there was an explicit explanation/connection to vigors in Infinite to the seaslugs in Bioshock. This may help and is courtesy of the Bioshock Infinite Wiki: “Although Vigors differ from Plasmids in their application (drunk rather than injected directly into the blood stream), they share the same origin. Using the Lutece Device to look at other worlds, Jeremiah Finkeventually witnessed in November of 1894 the work of the geneticist Dr. Yi Suchong in Rapture and his creation procedures for Plasmids.[1] From this point, he assembled a laboratory to research and release them as Fink Manufacturing products. Fink also organized several underwater expeditions all around the Atlantic ocean in order to acquire and study Sea Slugs, whose ADAM is the base for Plasmids and Vigors.[2] Research wasn't without risk and led to accidents, such as Devil's Kiss Vigors setting fire to a factory building in October 1900, which was then separated from the city to avoid its spread but condemned all workers trapped inside.[3] The incident was covered up by Fink Manufacturing who assured the population of the tonic's safety once released,[4] although it only resumed production eight years later by Policedemand.[5] These incidents eventually raised public concern as far as in early July 1912, and Fink reassured Columbia's fair inhabitants that it was a necessary evil for their own safety.[6] He also took the opportunity of hosting the 1912 Raffle and Fair the same month to promote and sell his products, including Bucking Bronco trials and free Possession giveaways.[7] Yet, a few people were still cautious about the next Vigors and preferred to wait for Fink to improve their stability. Fink's notes on the Vigor variations. Even with active marketing to sell Vigors, Fink was losing money due to the cost of the underwater expeditions.[2] In early June 1912, he went to think about changing the structure of his Vigors to their original form and less expensive on ADAM: injectable Plasmids. He also went to copy the design of syringes used in Rapture to cut the cost of making individual bottles for each tonic.[8]”

Yep, I think you’re indeed correct. If the bond is severed then the OG “Subject Delta” Big Daddy does fall into a coma or go mad. Later versions of the Big Daddy were changed, though. If the bond was severed then they’d instead find another Little Sister to protect.

Minecraft on PS4

I really liked the first two. Funnily enough, I went to the cinema with my mate to watch John Wick 3 but the screen was full so we had to watch Rocketman instead. 😞

Darkest Dungeon is pretty sweet on mobile. Incredible game, man.

Would you kindly buy this incredible game if you’ve never played it yet. https://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/409710/

Legit one of my fave game of all time! https://store.steampowered.com/app/48000/LIMBO/

Not played Bioshock 2 in 5+ years! IIRC, I think Delta dies once the bond is severed. I need to replay it. I enjoyed it and I actually believe it’s a pretty underrated game overall. I can remember that you play as the original Big Daddy... it’s been a while! Sorry for not being more helpful!

Honestly, i’s been a very long time since I played Bioshock 2 or Infinite, but I have been playing through Bioshock recently (I’m playing on survivor difficulty and am about 3-4 hours in). As a result, I find it difficult to comment in too much detail as I can’t remember too much about it. Also, I wanna play Burial At Sea and Minerva’s Den as I’ve got them now in the PS4 HD rerelease, but have never actually played them. IIRC, there are definitely parallels between Lamb and Comstock. The “man” Elizabeth refers to could be either Booker, Jack or Delta - it’s difficult to tell. The plasmids existing in the same worlds makes sense thematically and mechanically imho. Probably not the most detailed, enlightening comment, but I’ll ruminate on it some more and try and chime back once I’ve played it a bit more.
