PSN store is doing a futbol sale -- FIFA 17 is $15.99, and Pro Evolution Soccer is $19.99. Any strong opinions from RM on these? I don't follow the sport regularly, am looking for something I can fire up, play for an hour or two, and then put it down for a week. I'd favor simpler controls and playmaking over simulation-style realism.

Yeah, that's a great deal. PS Plus memberships are on sale too. Gotta love the digital sales they have.

Yeah, that's an awesome deal. Also BF1 is $24. I've just started Uncharted 3, so I'll hold off on 4 -- it's regularly available used on Amazon for like $15. But there are some awesome deals this week.

Xbox One X is a bad name for a console. No confusion with XBox One S either.

Like a blue shell you can see coming so it doesn't hit you mid drift, or even worse mid flight. Sometimes you can even make sure to let the 2nd place car get next to you so you both get blown up. And you can keep the items you've had. Lightning Bolts? Those assholes are just so whoever the fuck was in 11th place can move up to 9th, and change the entire complextion of the race. Fuck them.
A well timed lightning bolt can be devastating. Like right before your opponent hits the big ramp in Mario Kart 64's Royal Raceway.

Is the mp really as good as everyone says?

I'm blasting through the story mode pretty quickly, working through the Libertalia sections now. Holy fuck those two chapters in Madagascar were incredible! 4x4ing around in the mud was so much fun...and that chase scene...damn!
