Fallout did that sort of stuff so well

I'm hoping for good things. I loved Skyrim and Fallout. But I think I might wait a bit. I haven't seen enough of the character progression and RPG elements to rope me in yet.

What an awesome community this is. Reading through this thread and seeing all the stories of how Dean has impacted so many people has really been great. We're all lucky to have had Dean in our lives. Dean was one of a kind and there will never be another like him. Dean took me to my first wrestling match. Dean was super late to a show he was playing to come help me buy my first guitar. I remember being a kid and every Christmas Dean, Uncle Randy, and my dad would get matching Cowboys gear and I would always get whatever cool kid gift at the time but I always wanted to be just like them. As I got older I started to get the Cowboys gear like them and I remember thinking at the time when that happened "man, I've grown up finally." Now I just wish I could go back to being that kid. RIP Uncle Dean.

I would have rather seen Jon continue to hold out or to fight out his contract and the Jones/Ngannou fight happen as its own entity without being under the umbrella of an organization or league.

Thanks bud, glad to be here

WOOT!

I don't like his chances regardless to be honest. I had questions about Jones because he'd been gone so long but he's just on a different level.

Discord is a pretty big help. I've moved to PC but I was able to get a good GPU through notifications on discord. It's still pretty hard but it at least gives you a chance. The one I use is NerdSpeak. There are separate groups for each GPU and console that are currently hot commodities as well as general tech deals and you can have it send you notifications whenever there's a new message posted (all the messages are just in stock sale links). If I were still on console I'd probably be leaning towards the Series X as well simply because of gamepass even though I'm one of the weirdos that prefers playstation controllers.

I wonder how hard it will be if Connor does somehow clip Floyd and knock him down for Connor to not follow up like you do in an mma fight and continue to go after him as he's down/going down. Not that that scenario will happen, I just think there's a possibility that instinct could take over in that situation. Connor is bigger than Floyd and Floyd isn't known for his power so I'd imagine that it will look like a 12 round boxing clinic with Floyd completely dominating but not putting Connor away. I think Connor's best chance would be to continue to shit talk throughout the fight and hope to get Floyd out of his game and make a mistake. Floyd likely way too smart for that but he could feel some pressure to finish Connor and not allow him to last to a decision because that could be perceived as a win of sorts for Connor to be able to come into a boxing ring and go the distance with the "greatest boxer of all time."

Destiny was a great game, I will for sure get Destiny 2 and the DLC. I complained at times like everyone else but like was previously said, for all the complaining, I ended up putting a ton of hours into the game and got a ton of enjoyment out of it. The low point for me was the House of Wolves update because I felt like it didn't give us true end game content. I love raids and while Prison of Elders can be fun, it's not the same as a raid for me. After that DLC came out was when I took the most time off of the game. Craig, I think you just got fed up like everyone else at one point but left too early and didn't give it enough of a chance as they kept releasing new stuff and ended up missing out on the best version of the game.

I guess I will jump back in with this next update solely because they're bringing back the VoG which was by far my favorite thing out of the franchise so far. My first time playing that raid and playing blind with other players who were also playing it blind for the first time was one of my favorite gaming moments that I've experienced. I think they made a great game even if it is one that I moved on from twice: Core game- Really good, held my interest through the first dlc. As I mentioned earlier, it gave us the Vault of Glass which to me was the premier raid in the game and also had the best raid gear in the game. There were plenty of cheeses in the raid at various times but it was still a lot of fun. The Dark Below- Decent enough. Raid wasn't nearly as good as the vault and the missions were just meh but there was enough there to keep me interested. The main downside was the Crota fight itself in the Crota's End raid. There were just so many bugs involved in that final encounter. But getting to the end and successfully running sword for your team was always a pretty great feeling. House of Wolves- Thought it sucked. Was never a fan of the Prison of Elders and thought it was pretty terrible at least in terms of being end game content. I played for a little while and decided I'd had enough and ended up deleting Destiny and moving on for a bit. The Taken King- It was a nice comeback after TDB and HoW and enough to get me interested in the game again. It provided enough content through the missions, bounties, and exotics to keep me grinding and interested for a while and had in my opinion the second best raid in the game which was only overshadowed by its design which allowed for either extremely smooth raid runs or extremely painful ones. It was reliant on everyone holding up their end in the fight which was a real crapshoot when dealing with randoms. I can't tell you how many times I got to the daughters section and ran through that motherfucker in about three to five minutes with no wipes and I also can't tell you how many times I got to that section only to wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe because one person or another would just fuck up something small. It was a very easy raid for a team that knew what they were doing and an extremely punishing one for a team that had anyone on it that didn't know what they were doing. Touch of Malice was one of the best exotic quests in the game and something that really felt rewarding once you finally completed it the first time. Rise of Iron- Probably the most robust dlc that Destiny delivered. For me personally the only downside to it has been that after two and a half years of this game, there wasn't really much they could have done to keep me going. Played all of the story missions and did the initial exotic quests that were available. It did provide probably the best exotic quest in the game with Outbreak Prime. The raid itself was initially a lot of fun for me and after my first couple of play-throughs I graded it as a solid second best raid in the game. But after playing it a bit more, the boss fights just don't stack up to the ones in the King's Fall raid. I did like how they went away from the formula of the King's Fall raid which was basically everyone gather up in one spot and just dps. There were more vault like mechanics in this one which was cool but I still prefer Kings Fall as a whole over Wrath of the Machine after more play time in WotM. But really after the hard mode version of the raid came out and I completed that a few times I just felt like what the fuck is left for me to do in this game? I didn't really feel like grinding over incremental gains or collecting every weapon in the game. I'd done enough at that point to not be interested in topping out my light level. At this point Destiny has had well over two years and plenty of content so it was definitely worth the purchase for me. The biggest plus that I can see is that there has been that much content and length of playing time with a large and vocal community for Bungie to really have seen what's worked and not worked to this point. It makes me feel like Destiny 2 will be a really well made game. Obviously there is going to be the cash grab design with the microtransactions and also how they release dlc but that's to be expected at this point with this type of game. Really doesn't bother me. I expect that I will jump back in with this next update and play for a couple more months before growing tired of it and move on until Destiny 2 releases.

Digital is the only way I purchase games. I have zero physical copies. But a friend and I do the share thing on PSN and alternate games so every game is basically half price. As far as the download speed thing- basically every game now is available for pre download before release. So if I preorder a game, it will download it ahead of time before the game releases and be available for me to play midnight on release day.

She's got to be done if she doesn't change trainers. Zero head movement or defense and terrible footwork. All that time off and no improvement. That Nunes interview was great. Congrats to her. Did not see that coming from Garbrandt. Great fight. Beat Dominick at his own game. Loved the Dillashaw call out too.

He's not big enough for 185. He just needs someone telling him how and making him do the right things during camp. And I don't see how Ronda doesn't win this fight. I expect her to dominate.

The 320 strikes need to be manually selected from the director, not going into the 320 strike playlist. Just click on the devils lair strike on earth and change difficulty to 320 to do sepiks perfected. It's an extremely short strike that will matchmake you with two other people and the boss will drop two blue items up to 365. Just run that strike for a couple of hours and it should drastically increase your light level. Every time you get a blue item that's higher than what you're using, equip it. Don't bother with infusing unless it's a significant light difference. And don't bother with looking at stats of the armor at this point. Once you get up to around 360, run the raid. Shame you weren't able to do more iron banner. The bounties all gave legendary gear and the drop rate from the post game rewards screen was pretty ridiculous.
