Thoughts on Splitgate?

I absolutely binged that game... years ago, back when it was first launched in beta and quickly fell aside. It's amusing to see lots of reactions from people be "I thought this game was dead, why are people playing it now?"

I haven't had time to boot it up since the relaunch, but I am curious to get a couple games in, if only to relive the fun experiences I had with that game back when it first launched. Turns out that Halo with Portals, is quite fun.

What's the most impressive thing you've done in any game, but never actually recorded?

Nothing will top the series of bugs I witnessed come together in such succincnt fashion while I played Alpha Protocol, only to find out my hard-drive was full and the recording cut off just two rooms before it happened.

I'm bitter about it to this day.

What are your honest thoughts on Duke Nukem Forever? Was it really as bad as people say?

I haven't played it since launch, but I recall it not being nearly as a bad as people say, kind of a Aliens Colonial Marines situation where maybe the long wait for people added to the disappointment. From memory, it's just a pretty mediocre shooter across the board that's only notable by the virtue of its reputation.

But I'll find out when I eventually replay it.

What are your thoughts on Hollow Knight and Shovel Knight?

My thoughts are that I need to play both as I've had both sitting in my library for too long, along with 600 other games.

Why TOCA Race Driver trilogy has a more captivating story than F1 2021 Braking Point?

Likable characters... granted, I'm only speaking about TOCA 2 in this regard. TOCA 1's lead is pretty unlikable, and TOCA 3 only has one character who just explains each series, but I genuinely liked the dynamic of the cast in TOCA 2, it has a charm to it and gives context to each of the races that few games would bother with.

Braking Point?

Well, I've already said my piece on Braking Point.
