One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
My plan for the show is to just lol at the main plot and head off into a toxic swamp the first chance I get

There's not going to be a "pro" refresh with Xbox this generation. There will be a new Xbox Series X SKU without a disc drive, which will introduce a USB power delivery port for charging the controller, and 2TB internal storage, but that's it. If you have a 4K TV and want 60 or 120FPS on more games, and ray-tracing on more games, go for the Series X.

What is the opposite of guilt free birthday money? When nana is starting to lose it and gives you a check twice on the same birthday or something?

If you believe leakers and “insiders” then microsoft might be moving away from physical media so buying a Series X might be a wise move. Could be the last xbox with a disc drive for all we know

There's the original source for my previous post by the way. There are a few differences with the controller and other spec bumps (Wireless and Bluetooth for instance) but otherwise you'll not be getting better looking games.

Maybe I'm just really old now but the Gulf War feels a bit too-soon-ish for a game? But it was 33 years ago now. Black Ops 1 had Vietnam War elements 35 years after it ended.

There was a time about 12+ years ago where I was so sick of linear, set piece shooters that were like 5 hours long. I think the world was collectively sick of them. Now no one makes them or if they do they bomb so loving hard that they never see a sequel, so the ability to just sit back and play some flashy big budget game that is only gonna waste a couple of evenings falls pretty much squarely on COD. Which reminds me that type of game was actually a lot of fun and there were just to many of them in the late 00s/early 10s.

COD Infinite is good whether or not you like COD. It stands as a great sci fi shooter on it's own and has a much beefier campaign than the rest of them.

They did a really good job by keeping a lot of things basic and setting up for what could be amazing sequel stories in a new setting. Would love more games like it.

I hope Black Ops Gulf War goes back to being a separate client from everything else. Lumping Modern Warfare 1 - 3 into one single game, along with Warzone, made the whole thing really bloated.

It's my go to game to play really high. So much variety in the campaign. The lighting in the ships is sick. The shooting is tight, and you get to shoot space fascists

The Modern Warfare/Black Ops/World at War (yes I'm including WaW, that game was always good) stretch on Xbox 360 is one of those really cool times in gaming that I really miss but is easy to forget about or shrug off just because it's CoD.

The work they did to "clean up" the multiplayer of those games is still the killer app that keeps luring me towards picking up a Series S. Those games are on PC (and I think I even own a couple of them on Steam) but it's not the same as just jumping in with an Xbox pad.
