Game of the Show: The Outer Worlds

The cool thing about the Outer Worlds is that nothing on its surface blows you away but as a whole, it’s a very solid experience: Setting is good, dialogue and humour is good, weapons are cool so all in all it scratches the itch for a heavy narrative, humorous game. 

Omer is trying something different with this one - usually when he plays an RPG he builds a character that is similar to him (kind of like a bard, good with dialogue, some magic, not very tanky) but here he is building this low intelligence, super buffed, 2 handed melee, high intimidate dude and it’s super fun playing this way. 

News: League of Legends Worlds 2019

Has been an amazing experience watching: Hours were spot on (early morning when the kids aren’t in full tired\hungry mode yet). 

The opening ceremony was the best I’ve ever seen - it got emotional. Is that what traditional sports fans feel on the Superbowl? 

I felt old for not knowing anyone on the True Damage roster - the song was good though. 

The main storyline: G2 esports, a very good and hyped western team played FunPlus Phoenix (what’s with the name), a team who dominated the Chinese league. Building up to the final all the western teams underestimated the Chinese team and the other way around - China had a clean 3-0 over EU.
