Naw, shotgun event mode was pretty cool but the events are only up for one week at a time. It took them a couple of days just to sort out the fact that they forgot to put any healing in the mode.

Just had leftover Pizza Hut. Nommm

Just waiting for the new 4x4 map that is currently being tested.

Currently, the shotgun event mode is only in Miramar which also sucks.

vehicle launching?  lol - I must've missed that.

Because you don't play. It's been a problem for a month or so, particularly with the 3-person motorcycle. If you got near full speed, even on a flat surface, it would randomly launch you across the map which kills you.

The spectator cam is a good idea!  though.. spectating team mates is good too lol

Well, you can't spectate the other team until all of your teammates die so you don't gain that extra advantage.

Downloaded PUBG Mobile. Pretty fun as well. I feel better at it than I think I am because I think they add several bots into your early rounds, but it's very similar to the actual game.

We should play @BLUEVOODU

I just can't get into Star wars no matter what I do. I've seen episodes 1-3 and like bits and pieces of the original trilogy but haven't seen any of the recent movies.

Well, there's your problem haha. The original trilogy is TONS better than episodes 1-3. Give them another shot.

New update last night. They (finally) fixed the random vehicle launching and there's now a Spectator Cam where you can watch the person that killed you after you die and then the person that kills them, etc.

Wow, these are really good! Nice job. 

Regarding the pokeball, that's also really cool! I can't tell, did you fill it with something?  I don't want to undersell it because it's really good work...maybe $20-25?

Are these supposed to be game purchases? Because I just bought some hair gel from Amazon today haha.

Game-wise...last purchase was probably Dying Light I think.

Work is going to be killer the next few days due to projects.

I'm calling your bluff. I'm positive that you've been working on the same work projects for 10 years now. My guess is that you are repeatedly installing Windows 10 on the same machine over and over and then reverting back to XP.

Love them both, but gotta go with Star Wars. Love the concept of the Jedi and the Force. And lightsabers are badass. And the expanded universe is very interesting also.

I also enjoy the recent Star Trek movies, but I'm super pissed off that the new Star Trek show is only available on CBS's shitty streaming service. There's no chance in hell I'd ever pay for that.

Haha yeah, I've read that before. Pretty funny.

@BLUEVOODU Yes, works for me now as well. Should have trusted me the first time.

I think, before it's too late, some of these department stores should join forces to create some kind of HH Gregg/Sears/Toys R Us/Circuit City/Kmart mega-stores. It's the only way that Wal-mart would really ever going to have competition in the department store business. Each of those specializes in various products so take the best/cheapest of each and put it all in one place.

I'm sure it would never work, but would be cool to do haha.

I've been watching the new series but I agree that it's definitely not as good. I'll keep watching though haha.

Regarding the OP, I think the sighting is interesting and cool the way it went down. Two separate crews seeing the same object that neither can identify. I'm sure it's a balloon or drone or something else explainable, but interesting nonetheless.

I'm sure I'll be able to think of others, but the first game that comes to mind was the original Donkey Kong Country on SNES. Outside of Super Mario, that was really one of the first long games I was able to play through and beat as a kid. But the joy of beating King K Rool and watching the end-game credits followed by the sheer terror of realizing it wasn't over followed by more joy has a special place for me.

Jesus dude, did you read it? Lol. EA told the Wall Street Journal they were bringing it back. My guess is they are waiting until they find a way to do it that makes it reasonable and fair.

It's fake news that you're saying they've fully removed it indefinitely, because they are definitely adding it back.    So get playing before they do!

This is #fakenews, you're about 2 months behind. They had temporarily removed microtransactions but they are going to add them back soon.

This is why I begged Spartan to get the game on Xbox with me about 3 months ago when they had removed the transactions. I've put in a good amount of time on it on the Xbone.

So when you type @bl you don't get the drop down that lists me and blastmode?  It's a small blue drop down.

Yes, I am familiar with what a drop down is. 

No, I didn't see any options for it and it's still not working. Checked Chrome and IE.

@bluevoodu I don't think I'm getting the dropdown and I don't think it's working.

Both vids were super cool, I had not seen them. As a fellow drummer, I really liked the 2nd one also.

If this new section means fewer new topics every time you decide to change a color or a button, I support it!

I tested the curse filter. It's not very good.

Command & Conquer y'all!

Personally prefer General on the top but do what you gotta do.

It's awful d00d. The buildings are smaller and spread farther apart. Most of the time when the circle closes, there's absolutely no cover so it's all about who gets lucky with positioning and hiding. Hopefully this rumored snow map gets pushed soon.

Dear Lord, BV is turning CDG into how Facebook statuses used to be.

"BLUEVOODU is thinking about how bad the Best Buy Bathrooms are."

Oh, I always wondered about that, thanks for sharing! 

I'm never in Best Buy more than 5 minutes since I'm always after something in particular so I have no reason to ever check out their bathrooms. I'll make sure to take pictures next time though.

I'm with you on the lack of HDMI ports. The only reason I have enough is that my "game room" has two TVs so I was able to split the consoles between TVs, although it's a pain because only one of the TVs can have cable and one can have a DVD player and one can have a Fire Stick so I have to get creative on the timing of which activities I do at the same time haha.
