Lame.

Black Ops 4 could very well end up being a disaster for the Call of Duty franchise.

Man God of War is pretty amazing.

I thought it might be lame changing the setting to Norse...like how can you take some dude from Greek myth to Norse? But the way they did it was genius. It actually makes sense and they pulled it off godly. And the new setting plus the totally different style of gameplay make this the freshest game in the series since the original in 2005.

This is easily my favorite GOW already just because it's way more my cup of tea. I love the old games but I'll take well paced adventure over constant action any day of the week. It's tough to stop playing because you constantly see something new or get to a new plot point. One badass thing after another. And it looks absolutely amazing....feels like you're in Norway two thousand years ago. Possibly my favorite game of the entire generation so far.

Two times in the past month I've ordered games from Amazon that they sent from this seller GameSource, where they show the American version of a game and I get the European version instead. I can't stress how badly this pisses me off. So now I'm sending them back and they can refund me. Fucking cunts.

My nephews got Zoo Tycoon from Amazon and they got the PAL version. Luckily it was a PC game and it worked in their computer.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
  • Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)

The American version is NTSC so it is at 30 FPS minimum with 525 scan lines per individual frame.

The European version is in PAL so it would be 25 FPS minimum with 625 scan lines per individual frame.

You would need a TV or monitor that is able to work in either format.

Edit* that is what I'm guessing is the reason he needs to send it back.

That hasn't been relevant for at least a decade now.  European TV's work at 60Hz as well these days, and HD formats are the same around the globe.  Sure, if you wanted to play the game in SD you might run in to a problem, but I'd argue the chances of that happening are near to zero with contemporary hardware and software.

If it comes with codes they don't work because codes and DLC are region locked. So if I bought say Witcher 3 pal version, I could play the disc in my PS4 but I wouldn't be able to play any downloadable expansion packs.

I wasn't sure if that was resolved.

I still have an SDTV. I don't really play modern systems the last one I played on it was my PS3.

Japanese driver kills someone while playing Pokemon Go

Has it happened before? I know people have hurt themselves while playing, but not necessarily others. The game has been out for almost two years so if it took until now for someone to kill someone another person while playing then I think we did pretty good.

Just on the radio: belgium is following the Netherlands in the loot box discussion. Prison and fines up to 800.000EUR for publishers, or double  that if the game is played by minors.

It's not the first time. I think it's the third.

I was playing switch in hospital today and it was surreal. I was engrossed in taking over Whiterun for the Stormcloaks. Next minute a nurse is approaching me to fill in a form. 5 seconds later and I'm back into Skyrim. Almost felt like living an alternate life, one inside the virtual walls.

You should have put the Switch between her breasts for even deeper gameplay.
