Herd of Cats

Take me down to the Paradise City, where the grass is green and the girls are pretty

Oh won't you please take me home!

Join us tonight in the Way Back Machine as we relive 2008-2009 Sega Nites with Burnout Paradise (Remastered).

Remember: maximum eight players so only the first eight joining us will get in...

As mentioned previous my return to Paradise City in Burnout Paradise Remastered has been accompanied with a significant increase in Stormblade content. See Burnout Paradise Re-Stormbladed and Less like Paradise, more like Stormblade for further explanation.

PLEASE NOTE: I still haven't played with him online. Something which I am sure will happen eventually.

Museum of More Pirate Trailer

Sea of Thieves launches tomorrow. I am still not enamored by it. The Open Beta did not capture me the way I was expecting. I could see it being fun for a HoC coop crew but I think I will wait for a price drop. Unless a bunch of you buy it for some reason. And then randomly run a LAN party around it.

Because that doesn't sound like something we would do...

I can't seem to lose Stormblade in Paradise City

Due to some happy accident I managed to get the constant Stormblade splash screens to stop. Whether it was something he did or that I did, I have no idea.

But just when I thought it was safe the news ticker started up. As you can guess: Stormblade, Stormblade, Stormblade, Stormblade, Stormblade...

How do I get my money back?

Paradise? I don't think so...

It was more the opposite.

So I forgot how social Burnout Paradise was early in the days of Xbox Love online experimentation. It constantly updated you with how your friends were doing in the game. Whether or not you were in a game with them.

I had been looking forward to my afternoon of Burnout Paradise Remastered.

And then... Stormblade

Released today on Xbox One

I spotted this while purchasing Burnout Paradise Remastered. It is very hard not to appreciate what they are doing here.

The world's best mass llama-slaughter roguelike-lite-ish couch co-op top-down twin-stick shooter.

Sucking less each day!

It's not quite the Alpacalypse but it's close...

Now with Planes and Boats. And still cars one assumes.

I know the rest of you didn't buy into The Crew the way I did but it was an awesome racing game designed for 4-player coop. Although I think the most HoC members we ever had at one time was two.

Maybe we'll do better this time.

Note that I waited for The Crew to hit half price before I bought it and will probably do the same here barring any random coop day.

September 14th, 2018

With no original footage but still Black Ops IIII

Still looking forward to March 16

Toss out that driver’s handbook and set speed and destruction records all over town in Burnout Paradise Remastered! Relive the high-octane stunts and wanton destruction of one of the greatest arcade-driving games ever.

Other information gleaned from places:

• Price will be $51.99 CAD
• There is a demo (10 hours unrestricted) presently available ONLY to EA Access members
• As mentioned the release date is March 16th, 2018
• Max 8 players online which I seem to remember is the same as the original

And yes it is IIII not IV

Trying to steal Ubisoft's Thunder this was technically announced the same day as Division 2. It just took me some time to post it.

From the Activision Announcement:

The next title in the Call of Duty franchise will be Call of Duty: Black Ops 4! Treyarch is set to revolutionize the top-selling series in Call of Duty history when it launches worldwide on Friday, October 12, for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Be sure to mark your calendars for Thursday, May 17, when you can tune in to a community reveal event about the game-changing experience coming in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.

Seems like a good opportunity to test out this four player cooperative pirate game

A chance to decide if Herd of Cats wants to put together a crew.

The Final Beta is available for download now.

From the Xbox Wire:

As we head towards launch on March 20, we have one Final Beta test to run. This gives us an opportunity to grow our scale testing to our largest number yet, it allows us to test a broader range of features than ever before and it also gives anyone that is interested a chance to play and experience Sea of Thieves first-hand.

FAIR WARNING: this is an 18.5GB download.

Ubisoft Is Making The Division 2

“It wasn’t an easy decision,” the game’s creative director, Julian Gerighty, said in a livestream today, regarding the decision to make a sequel. “There are so many stories and so many experiences we want to explore within the Division that we really thought a sequel was the best way to investigate these things.”

I think we may be losing Rolly...

This is a dinosaur version of Pokemon Go. Because Rolly wasn't addicted enough to Pokemon Go.

Releasing just before the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom movie this June.

And here is it's Official Site.
