@gameinformer I’m playing Marathon!

What have you been playing or what do you plan to play before the month comes to a close? Let us know in the comments below.

@Ms5000Watts Very sad, I loved First Berserker and would love a sequel.

The game with one of the best great swords ever, the game with some of the best combat ever, the game with some of the greatest boss fights now has the team that made that greatness split up and scattered throughout the company because it wasn’t “successful enough”

@Fightincowboy @PlayKhazan Very sad!

Just heard they're reassigning the @PlayKhazan dev team... Game was one of the best soulslikes I've played in ages. Combat is tight as hell, combos are unreal, just a pure treat. Honestly this is such disappointing news.

@Dante45p @jxlarrea @rebbford I’m with you on this one! If I like the game I’ll play it no matter what the corporate financial BS is. And if I don’t like it, I won’t play (and I’m loving Marathon rn).

@jxlarrea @rebbford Who gives a shit

When Warframe released we had 435 other titles compete with for the attention of millions of steam users. Now games have 20,014 other games in the same year for many millions of steam users that have already been exposed to 80,000+ prior releases they might have liked.

@PaulTassi @Forbes Kudos to Rebb Ford! At this point I don’t want to see any more player count charts. I really like the game and I’m going to play, if the player count is whatever it is, I don’t care. As long as I want to play Marathon, I’ll play!

@DFPsheikh Loved it! Can’t wait for Thursday’s launch. (BTW thanks for your vid on the Heat_Sink upgrade!)

If you played the Marathon Server Slam how did you find it? I had a blast. 3v3 is great for PvP and loot. Playing as Rook is like a totally different game, same for solo queue. There’s a lot of different ways to play the game and a lot more to discover

@TheTrueVanguard @RpsAgainstTrump I agree with you TV. It seems that, for Trump’s supporters, there’s no alternative they like better. So they keep supporting him and the country is stuck in a very polarized mess. We’re in a leadership vacuum IMO.

He’s not well. If I were a conservative I’d really be pushing to have this guy removed. He’s lost all grip on facts and lives in a fantasy world and literally everybody with a brain knows it. Just constantly saying 1+1=72 and people just seem to clap their hands and nod?? The same people who talked about Biden’s mental acuity, and by the way they weren’t wrong, seem to have forgotten that was ever important to them now that Trump is in office. He needs help, and we need a leader who can actually think straight.

Trump: “After the war, we gave Greenland back to Denmark. How stupid were we to do that? But we did it. But how ungrateful are they now?"

@PraiseTheFrom I’ve felt your pain! 😅 (more times than I want to admit!)

@PaulTassi Every day our despot-in-chief comes up with another surprise! What a sh#% show!

Fever dream ass country

@Ms5000Watts @Xbox Awesome controller! Is it good enough to get you to play NG4 on an Xbox?

Big thank you to @Xbox for sending me the Ninja Gaiden 4 elite controller!😍

@TheTrueVanguard @alancornett Agree with you, TV! This act of violence is horrible, it’s an attack on the rights of free speech for all Americans. Pointing fingers is not the solution.

I think we have to be REALLY careful when pointing fingers here. Especially this early. Yes, all political violence is abhorrent and no one of sound ethics would argue otherwise. But to say this is a "left" problem is reductive in my opinion. We had right wing men planning to execute and operation to kidnap the governor of Michigan, and had the FBI not intervened they would have done it. And multiple times right wing leaders have expressed an interest in considering pardons for those men. Also a right wing conspiracy theorist literally broke into the Pelosi home and attacked her husband and some right wing Congressman found it amusing. All this to say, tensions are high and political violence exists on both sides of the aisle. Collectively denouncing it is far preferable, in my opinion, to just pointing across the aisle and blaming the other side.

Violence is escalating. It’s time to realize where the Left is.

@TheTrueVanguard I’m with you 100% on this, TV. I feel like I’m getting numb to the sheer stupidity and absurdity of this administration.

So glad that $934M of taxpayer money could go to retrofitting a gifted foreign airplane so the President can fly with gold plating in his plane. I’m not hyper political these days, but at some point regardless of your political party you have to call a spade a spade. This is so mother freaking stupid. No one of sound mind can convince me this is a good thing. And the president gets to keep it when he leaves?? Even dumber. If Jesus himself did this I’d be freaking livid.

@gameinformer Beating Ashina the Sword Saint to finish Sekiro. I’ll always meberthat fight!

@illPhysics I can’t believe we are only 5 months into this administration. What a f***ing mess!

“NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!”

@Ms5000Watts Glad you’re ok! I totally understand, I had the same situation today. I went for my “yearly” blood draw and it’s actually been 2 1/2 years because I put it off constantly. Finally I did it and luckily the Quest nurse was great. She said being well hydrated also helps.

Went to have my yearly blood draw and was very close to passing out. Like couldn’t see, couldn’t hear anything, drenched in sweat close. Luckily the nurses were great at making sure I didn’t fully pass out and my hematologist gave me some good advice around numbing my nerve. Turns out this happens because I have a very sensitive nerve so it wants to shut my body down as soon as it feels something wrong 😅 Doing ok now just very very lightheaded and my body is in a state of shock

@Ms5000Watts Uh oh! I really don’t want to start a new game. I like having all the weapons

Don't be like me and be in NG+ in Lies of P DLC, thank you twitch.tv/ms5000watts

@chizitobandito @Ms5000Watts If you have a relic that gives 2 bewitching branches, I used that to turn the revenants 2 ghost spirits against her at the start. That made it much easier (not sure if I got the relic from a random at the jar vendor or from an expedition).

@Ms5000Watts Who did you use to beat her to unlock her? I’ve gotten the closest with Guardian (bird man) but man all their attacks ramp up when Revs health gets low (it seems). Also heard Wyler is good using his 2 specials.

Still on my "be the best revenant" thing so that's what I'll be attempting to do lol (not drunk at all this time probably) twitch.tv/ms5000watts

@FromSoftUpdates Genichiro at the Ashina castle. Sekiro was my first souls game. Took me 3 afternoons in a row and prob 70 attempts

What boss had u coming back over and over and over again 😅

@DFPsheikh @Bungie @MarathonTheGame Sending prayers! Will be watching your channel when you’re back.

I got this cool package from @Bungie and @MarathonTheGame - unfortunately I won’t be able to open it for a while - I’ve been unwell for quite some time. Long story short I’m having to have heart surgery tomorrow. When I’m ready I’ll be back 👊
