    The racing game probably has some DRM music rights or a car manufacturer rights that expired so the Microsoft bricked the game.  Old licensed sports games are the same … I tried playing NCAA football and Tiger Woods and no dice.  Maybe resetting the system and not logging in would work if you want to try that (or google).  That is part of the reason I went digital (that and it is sooo much more convenient along with most “new” games require a 80 GB day one update)

    I’m still not sure what is going on with Nintendo pre-orders, but my hype for the Switch 2 is down.  They could have called it the “Switch Pro” and released it a few years ago.  I must agree that this system is the most un-Nintendo system created in quite some time (lacks innovation), but a safe bet for the company.  Doesn’t help that there was 2 years of hype for the system

    Probably the worst launch Nintendo has had with lack of info and high prices for games although it will still sell out (I will be one of the rubes getting one if presented opportunity).

    I tried to double back and play that after Fallout 3.  It was fun, but seemed quite a bit outdated already.  I didn't like how there was a sliding difficulty scale you can adjust at any time.  With an older game it was too tempting to just advance..  fallouts and Skyrim you get into those tough situations with tough enemy(s) and maybe limited life and supplies.  You have to spam save and try a number of different strategies to get out of it.

    Going to try this version

    Oblivion Remake is pretty amazing looking.   Just about to escape the sewers to see the open world when I play next.

    Since I was up, I tried seeing if I can get a Switch 2.  Have one in my cart on Target, but the site is crashed and burning.  Best Buy either sold out in 1 second or they are crashed as well.  Fuck it dude, let's go bowling.

    So far the glitches haven't been too bad for me. A few missing Oblivion gates and my character's shadows are only quiver and shield.
    Nighttime lighting glitches - small pockets of daylight everywhere?

    My jaw dropped when I left the sewers!  I was expecting a graphics upgrade but this looks as good as Kingdom Come II.  The speed FPS is a big change ... I didn't realize it until now, but the original game didn't have a sprint button (back in my day, we had to walk 5 miles thru the snow to school without a sprint button, kids!)

    I'm playing a Breton from Systres with Assassin Class and Thief Birth sign.  A wood elf would be the logical choice, but I played one 20 years ago and those short bastards are always looking up someones crotch.  Last time my main character was a high elf with Atronic Birthsign which has great bonus but you need use potions to charge magic instead of it auto regenerating.

    Big Tip ... don't tell Jauffre to wait somewhere and then play the game over a three year span and expect to find that motherfucker when you decide you want to play the main quest.  I had to start over to finish the main quest!

    Expedition 33 is amazing.

    Not sure i have ever been this mesmerized by a video game plot and atmosphere

    The turn based fighting with a few real-time elements is well done too.


    Go play this now!!!  Early game of the year favorite.  I don't think anybody has turned video games on it's ear like this since bioshock.
