Loved the MW2 Beta. And playing the Invasion / 32vs 32 Ground War modes convince me even further than Halo Infinite’s Big Team Battle could have been so much more ambitious. Should have gone with Halo 5’s Warzone 2.0 PvPvE Battlefield style instead of regular 12v12 BTB. One if the big disappointments I have with Infinite’s MP.

The beta should have ended like two hours ago. I guess they extended it?

Yes by 2 hours

Only today I learnt that Nitendo’s Doug Bowser’s middle name is Spencer. Doug Spencer Bowser

I live in Tampa, FL. Big ole hurricane about to hit. We’ve got lots of canned foot, water, and supplies but I’m still hoping for the best and that it mostly misses us. If you don’t see me around starting late Wednesday that’ll be why. Please sacrifice a goat to the Dark Lord to try and ward off this horrendous storm! Satan Bless

(you don’t have to actually kill a goat, you just do the Kids in the Hall “I’m crushing your head” thing at 'em and it works)

Mmmmm, canned foot.

Stay safe! Hopefully it does indeed miss you.

@Doncabesa

We’ve got lots of canned foot

Should we be worried?

@Mort

Should we be worried?

Think it’s the norm in the states as food standards are lower.

Seems like Xbox is doing a big push in the UK atm, Series S comes with FIFA and they’ve done a bunch of marketing with what looks like Fifa youtubers/influencers. This is marketing but most won’t acknowledge this because it’s not a big banner on the side of a building in 13 countries.

They should push even harder if they got the stock available for sale, i bought the Series S + Fifa pack today for just 280€ while the only PS5 pack was at 830€ (also came with Horizon amd GT7 tho).

Fifa is the Call of Duty of Europe so i still expect veery good sales for Xbox during the next weeks even if there’s no advertising at all.

The Series S is an absurd deal, specially for these Who dont own a gaming PC

830 euro for a console and 2 games is absurd, a disgustingly bad deal

President Biden

That phrase about competition, reminded me about what Satya said on Friday

[Vivir]

Not concern trolling but I don’t think Biden has what Satya has in mind when his team made this bill lol. Probably the opposite. @TheBrightestSun

It really is, Xbox has a unique chance, one it hasn’t had since the X360 days to do some really good numbers in Europe this fall, a pack with Call of Duty and Fifa for 299€ while competence is selling PS5 with no games for 600€+ can be huge.

It’s unfortunate that Sony has advertising rights for both Fifa and CoD if i recall correctly

Uh-oh. It’s all over now.

@Resist

It’s published by EA, more than likely multiplat.

Also, just this game will ultimately end up on Gamepass (ultimate) through EA Play.

I am wishing you the complete best. We are still immensely recovering from the hurricane in Atlantic Canada (I still don’t have power, but still have plentiful gas for the generator).

Hoping damages your way are minimal, or even nonexistent.

Thanks, glad you have the generator. I’d love to have a setup like that but as renters in a condominium, our options are so limited. Hope they can quickly recover for everyone up there.

I just finished Tinykin and it’s probably the best game I’ve played all year. Absolutely loved everything about it. Decided to start up Prodeus for a nice change of pace and I’m loving it so far as well. Gamepass won’t let me quit.
