Alright, GG, I bought Mudrunner from the eshop for $7.50.

this will be interesting. Mudrunner was the second game. Its a good place to start but fair warning it can be more difficult than Snowrunner in general handling.


Learn how to use cruise control.


Scout the watch towers first and unlock all the vehicles on a map.


Then locate your lumbermills and log stations. At garage, attach a log trailer, medium are good. One truck can have a short log storage then attach a medium to the back.


You can also load up and tow two trucks each with their own trailers as a convoy. They can also push and pull each other with a winch.


I'd recommend doing the challenges first as it's a tutorial essentially.

You can skip night without it costing you fuel by leaving an unused vehicle (usually a scout) at the garage. Switch to it, skip night and it will auto refill fuel, then you can switch back to other vehicle.

If you tip over in a truck you can highlight the scout on the map screen and press X to bring your scout to your tipped truck. You can use your winch to tip your truck back over.

So the House has been in debate for months about killing Tik Tok. Folks, Teams is right fucking there! Easy slam dunk.

Last 2 and a half hours of the indie sale.

Still not sure what to get.

BTW I was in a gamestore looking to expand my 360 collection and was left a bit perplexed.

There was a huge section of Halo, similarly large ones for COD and Gears of War.

The only other games that looked mildly interesting were Prey and Prototype, they had a few Far Crys too. I'm leaning towards Far Cry but the idea of analogue stick FPS puts me off.

There's a substantial Ass Creed section.

What other games could you guys recommend? I have Tomb Raider, Batman, Enslaved, Dishonoured etc.

What's going on in American politics and other so called democracies. It seems the politicians just do what ever the biggest donors want, even against the will of the public. I'm starting to feel like democracy is an illusion. There's no real alternatives either.

All forms of government that tell the people they have any part in running things is an illusion. The best solution is to not watch the news, or if you do, do it only for entertainment value.

GG, Prey is fantastic. Sort of a low rent Bioshock. If you don't have a physical copy of Batman Origins then you may want to pick that up. You cant get it on digital

I stopped voting a long time ago as I felt there was no real choice or change. And politicians here wonder why people get angry at politicians. Brexit happened partially as a reflection of that anger.

But the anger continues as there's still no real change and people's lives are getting worse after covid and Ukraine etc

Not a big Bioshock fan, though I wad tempted to get it on sale to give it another chance.

I have Batman Origins on Wii U.

For some reason 360 Amazing Spiderman is still £18 years later, same for the Orange Box.

I spotted something unexpected in a 2nd hand game store. Xbox 360 Sega dreamcast collection. Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 5 (2), Sonic Adventure and another one I can't remember.

Samsung set to make most of Nintendo Switch 2? From OLED screen, to memory and Chip set (Korean article)

Here's hoping there's not too much bloatware installed    Can't stand that on phones.

I woke up 3am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep, so I played 18 holes of golf as Jack Nicklaus. He's never played so poorly in his life. Shook his head with every shot.
