Man, shotguns have gotten CRAZY since the buffs. I’m using swordbreaker all the time these days. Can’t believe I junked a universal remote all those months ago... Read more

Oh, really? Weird. I’d most recently played about a week ago, and my PS4 said it was a 6GB download. I’ll tweak the post to be less specific. Read more

I’ve heard this was possible, but I couldn’t get it to work. How far do you have to go? Read more

I found it at least once - it spawned down in the water, at the base of the cliff. Read more

Ha - TLW is definitely cooler looking, but I don’t really get much out of it in PvE. I hear it wrecks in Crucible, though. Read more

They’re pretty damn fun when you get good with them. People like them because they’re high impact, so they have a lot of stopping power and do a ton of damage per shot.

Yeah, there’s a lot more stuff about Ciri that’s known from the books - I decided to be kinda vague with her. I had everything written out but it started feeling like I was spoiling stuff from Wild Hunt even though I actually wasn’t. Read more

Ha, I thought the same thing. It’s a still from a trailer, and she looks like a different person. Read more

Yeah! I liked that approach, too. Let’s say it falls under “Straight-up putting huge text on the screen.” Read more

That is a great idea. You’d lose Franklin’s special ability in GTA Online, but it’d be pretty wild to ride behind the driver. Read more

Nah, it’s not “a thing” or whatever, it’s just something I’ve been re-obsessed with and I figured it’d be fun to tell people to try it in case they hadn’t thought of it. Read more
