I've been kind of fixating on 7 days to die lately, and how interesting I can make my 'base'.

The game is legit fun, graphics are pretty low end, but it's still Alpha and still entertaining as hell.

Seven Days to Die is amazinginginging.

Word of warning, just don't shut down the server in the middle of the night.

3 invincible zombie bears on night 4... ouch.

Sniper Rifle, the only way to blow off zombie bears heads. The new Behemoth that is coming is downright scary though... now I more than ever am considering building my base... by hollowing out a mountain.

Insomnia

@lithium No these guys were literally invincible, we had rockets. They would not die. It was all glitchy and then my friend couldn't see me.

I think I'm going to need to look up these Behemoths though...

@lithium We took over a military fort, and ringed it with upgraded spikes, the big ones. Fairly effective! Heat generation is where we had issues. So we planted a 5 deep forest around us next. had to back it off the walls to maintain a killing field. So far, so good. But if you do a mountain, let us know?

Insomnia

@templari Wait? Trees help making heat less noticeable? Really?

Templari

@insomnia Apparently it helps with everything but the 7th day as it was explained to me. But in general it helps either disguise he heat, or simply provides enough visual cover to keep zombie issues down. Not to mention having a renewable wood supply at your doorstep is handy.

Insomnia

@templari I agree! They laughed at me when I wanted to put trees all around. I feel a little vindicated now.

I hollowed a mountain in snow biome. Word of warning, after Day 7: They dig.

Learn from the Mines of Moria!

Always have a way out.

I got my first legendary drop for this expansion today in WoW. I am finally a happeh kitteh. Figures it would happen after a realm and faction change, though! A guildy got her first shortly after too.

Been a pretty good day for PVP, too. I'll take it.

As a Planescale Torment fan, a million thank yous for this note. I hear it’s nowhere as good, but I still want to play it.

I can't recall if it's been mentioned in this thread previously, but Destiny 2 has trial play available now. Up to level 8.

Downloaded it, gave it a shot, aaaaand now I own Destiny 2. I'm kind of in love with Titans and their lore.

Does Overwatch ever get sales? I've wanted to try it out, but it doesn't look like an $80 game for me.

@sg It does, yes. It's okay. Repetitive. High intensity, usually, which is one of it's bigger selling points, I think. Overall it's a fun FPS arena-style game, but $60 or whatever it costs? I wouldn't go that far. $30, maybe.

I think I picked it up sometime over the summer for about $35-40.

SG

@faceless I'll keep my eyes peeled, then. Canadian game prices are nuts the last few years.

@SG Actually, I'm going to amend that. I'd say it's worth $35. Simply because of Reinhardt. That's muh dawg.
