  1. Watched the Giant Bomb video of The Division and...it looks pretty cool...but too familiar to Destiny.

     

    The problem I have with games like that are bullet sponge enemies and it's even more ridiculous in The Division. For example, I watched Jeff and other NPCs dump rounds into a "named" mob and it took so much to kill the mob, which was just a normal human being. Later in the video, Jeff ventures into the Dark Zone, which is the PvP area, and it's the same shit there, just a bit more toned down so everyone isn't as much of a bullet sponge, but at the same time, your armor and gear is pretty irrelevant.

     

    It's weird because the game looks like it tows this line between being Destiny and not being Destiny, but in the wrong way for each. Like Destiny, everyone is a bullet sponge. Then in PvP, it differs from Destiny where there isn't much to set you apart from anyone else and you're more of a sponge than you are in Destiny.

     

    At the same time, The Division does some cool shit when it comes to forming groups. It looks like you can join groups on the fly and as you do their version of a Strike, you're auto-placed into a group then as well. Now, I know Destiny does this too, but it looks so much smoother in the Division. Dark Zone looks really rad. So, from what I could tell, there's good guys and rogues. You go rogue by turning on your team. Once your turn on your team, or even a lone teammate, you're the enemy. I have no idea if you can become a good guy again before dying, but it's a neat mechanic.

     

    Jeff and Dan were pretty high on the beta and seemed to really like it. To me, it looked pretty interesting. I may rent it from a Redbox to give it a shot. The environments look beautiful. More next-gen than any other game out there today and the sounds rival those of Battlefield.

  2. Man... In that doomsday scenario where Brock and Reigns both miss WM, what would WWE do? Ambrose vs HHH? In trying to think of guys next in line, there's so many hurt by bad booking. It's probably something like:

    Ambrose

    Sheamus

    Bray

    Owens

    AJ Styles

    Kofi

    Kofi I think would be over huge. I thought his ship sailed after not beating Orton, but he stayed faithful to WWE and is more over now than ever. I really hope he gets a run at the top and those are words I never thought I would ever say because I used to hate Kofi so much.
