Hello everyone. Hope you all had a relaxing weekend. I have been playing more Balatro and Nightreign, but I spent this morning readying another playthrough of New Vegas that I will be undertaking soon. Have a good week everyone!

The release of Gears of War: Reloaded got me to replay the entire series, or at least the ones Epic made. Actually, you know what, I might actually finally play Judgment too, fuck it. I'm currently playing 2 and I'm about to reach the GIANT WORM moment pog-fish I just love these dumb Xbox 360-ass games. Every single molecule in my body was vibrating with Gears of War 2 hype back in 2008 and the campaign is still really fun and a massive improvement over the first game in every single department, making the first Gears of War feel like a slow, janky prototype.

I'm emulating 2 and 3 with Xenia because Microsoft sucks ass and still hasn't released the entire series on PC. People were speculating for years about a Master Chief Collection-style compilation of the Gears of War games but instead we just got a rerelease and a PS5 port of the 2015 UE4 facelift of the first Gears of War. Fuck youuuuuu
