No, but I know a couple of guys who did (one I think even had the closed beta or whatever a few months ago) and they love the game. I've been burned by some crappy AAA games before, so I'm waiting to read a few day's reviews before I commit. I love D3 though. Even on my Destiny kick (Iron Banner this week!), I still played D3. Multishot Demon Hunter FTW.

Gotta say, looking forward to Star Wars Jedi: survivor....the previous edition was a great game!
I'll take a beating for this and that's fair. World of Warships, part of the F2P "World of xxxx" family. It is actually pretty fun, take it as serious as you'd like, and don't pay for upgrades unless you are super sweaty. Available on a variety of Platforms, it will even run in the background. Not a bad diversion for certain communities out there.
I was made aware (by my son) that the XBox game pass I own gives me more titles than hockey. I am an idiot. But also, downloaded Forza (fun ass racing game) and Dead Cells, an old school ish 2d game that's super fun.

Have you talked shit to any six year olds?
I have not… cause I still can’t figure out the chat function.
The One's Ready gaming podcast:
Peaches: Has a great time. Laughs. Talks shit.
Aaron: Starts losing. Talks shit. Throws controller.
Trent: "Y'all are stupid and this is the dumbest idea in the history of dumb ideas." Heckles and talks shit.
The UK has blocked Microsoft'a Activision Blizzard acquisition because..."Microsoft has a strong position in cloud gaming services and the evidence available to the CMA showed that Microsoft would find it commercially beneficial to make Activision’s games exclusive to its own cloud gaming service.”
Cloud gaming is such an incredibly small portion of the gaming landscape, and this is the argument the UK's Competition and Markets Authority and this is the argument they are using?

Since D4 is coming out I think I might build a new machine. Last one was built in 2016 on the LGA 2011-v3 (x99) platform running a 980 Ti. Thinking of picking up a 13900k with a 4090 because why the fuck not. Should be able to run D4 at like 6000 FPS.
We should compare notes. I'm looking to build/buy a new rig before the end of May.
I'm in a holding state (read living out of a suitcase for two-ish weeks) while I move half way across the county to a new house. I didn't want to add a PC to the list of my possessions in the movers' hands. But, when I arrive, I'm getting on this.
I feel like I did quite a bit of research between going back to AMD vs running a powerhouse Intel chipset. The AMD 7800x3d is reportedly a great chip, especially for gaming, but the 13900k will blow it away when it comes to creator type tasks. I'd like to get into video editing with 4k so that would be more beneficial. The AMD AM5 chipset is newer so it will support future generations of CPUs while Raptor Lake (LGA 1700) is supposed to end with the current CPUs. However, I did read that Intel is going to refresh Raptor Lake, whatever that means. At that point, I don't think you really save money by going one route over the other, especially if you run a machine for 5+ years.
If by 'buy' you mean pre-built, definitely look at building. You certainly save money and it's really not that difficult. Just takes a bit of research to make sure everything is compatible, but there are a ton of resources to help out with that. Biggest thing is ram compatibility, but website repositories exist to ease the pain. Really comes down to how much you want to spend. Once you add in monitors and such you could push $5k-$6k.

There's more to the site than making your own build...which is the heart of the site, but there's a ton of options and info there.

Alright, ladies and gents. I am asking for some recommendations.
I have dipped my toe in the XBox gaming world, and it's been cool to spend some brain-break time on the sticks. (By the way, I am pretty good at online hockey now and have started playing UFC and Forza, which is a gorgeous game.)
I am looking for inputs for a story-type game to widen my experience a bit. I have heard Killzone has an awesome story and gameply, obviously I am aware of the larger titles (Fallout, Halo).
So the question is, "If you had some dork that knows nothing about gaming and you could recommend one of your favorite games so they could experience it, what would it be?"
