Yo so if anybody plays Gears of War 4 I got an xbone controller for Christmas and it was GoW branded and came with a DLC code.

96GP7-6KFJ7-74T2P-MY3WQ-YX4HZ

All it says is that it's a "exclusive in-game emblem and 3 gear packs"

How resource intensive is Slime Rancher? I bought my wife a mid-range laptop and Slime Rancher looks like a cute game she'd like.

It runs ok on the pc I built to run my tv. it uses a ~6 year old mid-range graphics card and an i3

not perfect, but ok.

Okay, I'll give it a shot. The laptop's probably going to be a Stardew Valley/Roller Coaster Tycoon box, but ranching some slimes would be a nice gift to add to the mix

I'm gonna get a Switch but probably not even close to launch, especially because Nintendo's lovely releases mean that it'll be way more of a fight than it's worth to get one for the first few months.

Elf, Scrooged, and Christmas Vacation. Maybe some Home Alone. Christmas Story used to be my favorite but I've seen it too many times since TNT did the 24 hours of Christmas Story thing.

Elf is terrible, I don't get why it's so beloved.

I have a PS4. I am thrilled with it. It is a wonderful machine and there are several games I'm excited to play on it, eventually. However, what I really, really want right now is to play Vanquish. Can I get it from the Playstation Store? Will it work? If not, I'll cry, probably.

I thought the story was kind of neat, if a bit silly. I mean, how often do you see a sci-fi story where interdimensional/time travel shenanigans cause a guy to clone himself hundreds of times over, go nuts, then eventually have one of his own clones who thinks he's the original take him down?

Most if not all the balance issues can be traced to just a single guy making the game, and I think he did a drat good job considering. It's real easy to get tunnel vision in terms of difficulty with a one-man team, and that was its biggest problem.

DQ8 for 3DS sounds like fun. I never played the original past like the intro town. What's the deal with the additional party members? I know they were already in the original game, just not playable, and I dunno how much the party members actually matter during the plot so idk if they're adding more lines or what

I'm excited for the opportunity to kick Angelo's dumb rear end out, the question is just who gets to take his place

I spent my christmas with family, culminating with watching Kubo and the Two Strings. I had heard incredible, amazing things about it, that it's one of the best animated films ever made, that it's breathtakingly beautiful, that it is entirely stop-motion, and that it is best to go in blind. All of these things are true. The only thing I saw of the movie prior to actually watching it was this animated gif:



The movie is an absolute joy. Definitely watch it. It's criminal that it did so terribly at the box office.

This video shows just how much of the movie is real, not cgi(preferably watch after seeing the movie since it's got spoilers in it). I was repeatedly flabbergasted throughout that video. I literally cannot believe some of the scenes they shot live were not cgi despite it staring me in the face. Incredible. Truly incredible.
