It should have its own thread, but it'll need somebody with the post count to pull it off.

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate you?

I feel like I'm intruding.

But I just wanted to say thanks to Gamepass for reminding me how truly terrible Blinx the Timesweeper is. I guess it was MS answer to Mario and Crash Bandicoot.

But as an answer, the question must have been; "How hateful can you make a videogame character and can you put it in a game so tedious that it makes you want to eat your own eyes."

Man, I deleted that game so hard.

Time to try the Ascent. And that's the joy of Gamepass!

I’m really enjoying Last Stop. I’d recommend it, but with the warning that it’s not really a game. It’s an interactive story - but barely even interactive. You move your character around and sometimes select dialogue options, but I’ve yet to see it make any difference. However, it’s a compelling story, which I won’t spoil, and well written and acted, with genuine characters. Chapters switch between three unconnected protagonists. Their paths have crossed superficially so far, but I have no doubt they’ll end up being tied together.

Yeah, i'm finding this engaging enough to stick with (if only just). I think im about half way through. The reply selection feels so arbitrary its almost offensive at times though! Its compounded by when the reply thats actually delivered is not even word for word with the "choice" you selected.

The latest batch of titles set to leave Xbox Game Pass soon has been revealed on the Game Pass mobile app. Final Fantasy VII, Darksiders Genesis, Don't Starve: Giant Edition, Train Sim World 2020, Ape Out (Win 10), and Crossing Souls will all drop out of Xbox Game Pass soon. No date has been announced just yet, but we believe these games will leave the service on or around August 15th.

Very nearly at the end of Halo MCC (just one full mission left on Halo 4), starting to download Halo 5 just to finish off the series before Infinite comes out later in the year.

No reason not to try Hades once I’ve finished off the 5 Halo games then. Not normally a fan of rouge-like games but should give it a try at least. Art of Rally looks amazing, hopefully it plays well, bought Absolute Drift on the Switch and it wasn’t great really but I’m not sure if that was just the small sticks on the Switch making it feel a lot more twitchy.
