MF if you got a message asking if it was OK for someone to watch you play Battlefront it was me. I was just poking around and noticed the option to watch other people play and clicked on it to see what would happened. Figured I'd tell you in case you thought you had a stalker. :D

Tempted to pre-order Black Ops III. Looks super cool, but historically I haven't been that into the Treyarch CODs, so I can't decide.

I also can't figure out whether the zombie campaigns (in BO or AW) can truly be played solo like I want.

I know, I know. I've been getting distracted by horror movies, plus I tend to get really discouraged when I get stuck in games. I'll get back to it very soon.

Picked up Yoshi's Wooly World and despite the cutesy, infantile gimmick it's actually a pretty fun platform game.

Speaking of yoshi, wherever I'm using him and I have to sacrifice him to make a long jump I feel really bad.

The more I think about Tales from the Borderlands, the less I like it. Final episode really disappointed me, and I'm a little shocked everyone seems to be praising it so highly. Felt funneled into doing things that I didn't want to do, things that didn't line up with the character arcs I was shaping. Frustrating.

Overall, I think the debut episode was one of the best things Telltale has done, but the full season was ultimately the worst of their recent output.

Right now, I think I'd go:

1. The Walking Dead: Season 2
2. The Walking Dead: Season 1
3. Games of Thrones: Season 1 (pending the finale)
4. The Wolf Among Us: Season 1
5. Tales from the Borderlands: Season 1

I've never been able to get behind the Telltale games. They've always felt second-rate to me. Maybe because of the "what could've been" of Tales of Monkey Island.

The first season of the Walking Dead was incredible. I think their engine is dated and they are stretched too thin now.

Ah, well, I've never been a Walking Dead fan either.
