When are you gonna do a Halo Wars so I can come up with more content to annoy you with?

I can never put a date on it, but were I to ever tackle Halo Wars, I imagine it would have to be a collaborate project. Hopefully there's a more interesting way to innovate the idea, I've got a couple...

What are some games that you wish had multiplayer or at least a multiplayer component, but don't?

I was asked this question in a Discord call just recently. It's hard to think of things off the top of my head, but I'm still pissed at myself for missing out on Timesplitters: Future Perfect. I had Xbox Live back in 2006, I could've used it, if I was aware of what Timesplitters was back then.

I also wished I had a community to hop into Tribes with, those games looked like so much fun once you really got into the movement mechanics, and as brief as it was, I really liked my brief time with Cloud Pirates, which I made a video on years ago.

Perhaps part of my frustration with lots of multiplayer games inserting FOMO mechanics is that inherently, Multiplayer has a fear of missing out. Fear of missing out on the experience. Sure, you can play Halo 3 today through the MCC, but what you're experiencing is still very different than the environment Halo 3 was released in, I'll likely expand on this in this weeks' Randomly Mine as it's something I've been thinking about.

There is a Timesplitters Fan Project in the development, and should it release, it'll probably be awesome, but even if it has identical mechanics to previous games, will be quite different than them because of the environment, that experience I missed out on.
