Also, I'll use this opportunity to bump my earlier request for an RM Rocket League team or tourney. I think only one person said before that they'd be into it? Anyway, I still think it's be great fun.
I'd be willing to play sometime soon if you want. Friend request sent. I haven't played in a good while so I might be a bit rusty.
Cool, accepted. I've got company through Monday, so let's try to get on together next week?
Sounds good to me.
When might work for you this week? I'm on mountain time. Also, are we gonna do the whole thing with headsets? Or should we just log on and play sans headsets?

And is anyone else joining? I envision a great RM Rocket League rivalry, but it's tough to pull off with two players.

No worries.

Has anyone played the Division? What's the verdict?

I put about eight hours into the open beta. I liked it a lot, and could potentially love it if a couple things were tweaked from the demo (and they very well may be). But it's one that you definitely want to play online with friends; the campaign narrative was pretty dull, and the Dark Zone was really fun but incredibly difficult going solo.

Anyway, I'm spending enough time trying to manage/level up my Fallout 4 character, I couldn't possibly fit another one into my life.

I've never played Destiny, but they are often compared.

Internet is required because a huge part of the game takes place in the Dark Zone, a section of NYC in which there is rare and powerful weapons and armor. The idea is that you team up with up to three other players, and then battle other players for the rare items. Items captured in the Dark Zone are contaminated, so you have to bring them to an extraction point, where a helicopter will come and take your items away for decontamination before you can use them. Extraction points are static on the map, so there are a lot of double-crosses and sneak attacks as you're waiting for the helicopter to arrive. You show up to an extraction point, fire a flare, and a countdown begins until the chopper gets there. During this countdown, all hell breaks loose between players.

Since you twisted my arm and Uncharted is delayed, why not. I rarely play games in the same series back to back. It took hours to install an update this morning. Is this the best in the series?

I was messing around with Diablo 3, and I just do not get it. I was never a big fan of the franchise, but this game is barely a game.

Wouldn't that suck for XBox users? I can see getting pwned by PC aimbots and people with high powered gaming rigs.

Either way, Microsoft must be getting desperate.

Really curious to learn more about Playstation VR in the next hour or so. I want to try it.
