Wowzer...That is like the coolest shit, mate. Shipping must be costly?

 

This years winner of the "Best Man Cave" goes to....

 

Street Fighter II and beers at @JK47 's

 

How empty is the cabinet? I had one in my cart ready to buy, but I could only really do it if I could make the cabinet double duty and store liquor in it. Maybe put some hinges on one side to make a door?

 

Wow I'm not sure what to be more impressed with, how good cabinet looks (I thought it would be pretty bad) or all that sexy audio gear behind it. I'm pretty good at street fighter by the way... I main M. Bison in ST

 

The cabinet is almost completely empty, and it would be easy to put a door on the front under the joystick.

 

The cabinet looks short. You have to play it sitting down?

 

Elf needs food badly!

Gauntlet blew my mind as a kid.

 

@JK47 Have you tried having two adults play Street Fighter side by side yet? Wondering if the 3/4 width will present an issue for all the mad tournaments I might host...

 

Ghost of a Tale. Absolutely wonderful little gem of an adventure game to play on PC or XBOX, very family friendly too. You play as a mouse trying to escape a prison and then to find your lost loved one. Some relatively easy puzzles and interesting characters. Gave me Zelda vibes for some reason, it's just that polished and smooth to play. No combat at all, just hide and seek and infiltrate and solve problems. Very nice adventure game which isn't talked about much.

Are all the puzzles simple?

 

Not sure if it’s been mentioned but there are “risers” available for the mini cabs. I saw them a while back at Walmart.

Yupp, it's not a puzzle game. More of an adventure game with some light puzzles thrown in. You play it for the experience and story and not the puzzle solving.

 

Anyone playing RDR2? I think it is the best game so far this year. On par with the Witcher 3 and The Last of Us. Yup, I think it is better than GTA 5.

Very emotional and engaging storyline, with great characters that we can connect with. We really get to know these characters and their relationships with one another.

 

I've played about 20 hours so far of it. Have been having a hard time getting into it, but that's mostly because I'm finding it too easy to just slowly walk around the map and play texas holdem.

My game of the year so far has been Valkyria Chronicles 4.

 

Very easy to get sidetracked. I enjoy hunting and robbing people.

But when you do get into the story, please cherish it. It is so wonderful.

 

I'll just have to wait 2 years for RDR2 to be on PC and 50% off. It looks great but I can't justify a console for 1-2 games, although an Xbox One would have a 4K Blu Ray player which I'll need eventually.

As for my game of the year, it would have to be Zelda: BOTW. I know it didn't come out in 2018 but I just got my switch 2 months ago and I haven't enjoyed a game this much in a decade.

On PC I'm loving Path of Exile again, and I'm excited for the Betrayal expansion coming on December 7th.

Fallout 76 has been really fun, I'm about lvl 30 but I'm stopping until they eventually expand the stash space. It's currently capped at 400lbs. The space should be 10x that or just 2x with a separate unlimited stash for Junk. I've managed to cut down my time spent in my inventory by tagging the most important ingredients I need, tossing excess ingredients like steel, and not picking up gear I have every mod unlocked for, unless it's a higher base level.

I'm also excited for classic WoW. Not sure if I'll play it myself but I'll watch and enjoy it through streamers. I started playing WoW on Jan 23rd 2006, about 1 year before the first expac, so I have allot of fond memories of that era. I quit playing in Nov 2016 so a little over 10 years total.

 

It don't matter. You can play it later on. Only that, when you do, really enjoy it. Games like this don't come often.

I thought Fallout 76 is a fluke? Didn't look good from the reviews.

 

Allot of people like Fallout for the story and stuff like that. I like Fallout for exploration, killing enemies and item hoarding and I couldn't care less about the story. The item hoarding needs work but the first two are excellent in this game. I also like the way you can build your base basically anywhere and you can do much more stuff with it. Most reviewers are playing it on console, which runs like crap, and I've noticed a trend of game journalists weighting reviews heavily on story. I almost never care about the story and I skip it whenever I can. Exceptions to this would be games with great writing like the Ezio era Assassin's Creed games.

For the most part I don't pay attention to or read reviews anymore, I wait till it comes out and watch streams of it on twitch.
