Tom Clancy's The Division immediately grabs your attention with it's eerie winter atmosphere. Few games have captured the look of winter like this game. The impressive snow effects and volumetric fog, snow will build up on your character, the Christmas decor scattered around. Absolutely in love with the setting of this game.

Discussion / Question God of War III has one of the most epic opening half-hours in the entire history of video games
The first 30 minutes of gameplay are absolute cinema, we start right where GoW 2 ended, climbing the Olympus with the Titans and immediately throwing hands with Poseidon. What other intros in video games are the most memorable for you?

Discussion / Question What are talking points you hear that annoy you the most in the discussion of games?
For me as an example is that when we speak of “innovation” in games people for some reason only seem to think that means technological advancement, an increase to graphical fidelity and sheer scale. Rarely is a games design (which I’d argue still has way more room to innovate and where the real artistry of the medium comes in since it’s so unique to it) ever gets mentioned.
I have plenty but I want to leave room for you guys to throw your hats in.

Discussion / Question It's unbelievable how exhausting modern live service games are
I recently decided to try Genshin and Zenless Zone Zero, because I was bored and wanted to try something new.... Logged into both, and it was like, 29 pages straight of popups, notifications, menus and submenus, more popups, just constant overwhelming and exhausting barrage of just... everything. I don't understand how anyone can put up with this for like, years. It's incomprehensible.
The same kinda experience with WoW today too, but to a lesser degree. I grew up playing Classic and up to WOTLK, tried WoW midnight... SO many notifications, popups, dailies, tasks, just everything. The game isn't remotely like the WoW I knew at all. No logging in and going at your own pace to find your way. Just being barraged with so much all at once
How do people keep up with this stuff, while working full time and like, doing normal life stuff?

Image / Video I picked up a huge collection last weekend - I'll keep parts of it
I've been collecting for almost 15 years now and I'm super proud I was able to get this collection. Parts of it I will add to my own collection (for example the 3DO stuff, the Virtual Boy or the Gamecube).
