Rant: Do not sign up for a PS Visa. Comenity Bank is one the WOAT CC providers.

I went to check my statement and everything looked cool. I saw I had a lot of points that Idk I had so I redeemed them. I check my email and not one notification so I called to ask how to get them customer service tells me "you have to wait three days."

THREE DAYS for a code... Foh

I had another incident a couple of months ago where I was trying to place an order on Bestbuy.com and the shyt was blocked. Got an alert I verified it was me transaction was still blocked.

The game as a game is terrible.
Straight walking in between 5 different rooms back and forth getting this and bring it back here for 2 hours straight.
The story to me is mid. It tries to pull elements from The Shining and from Saw.
It's a cabin fever story with 2 particular scenes that are incredibly overrated.
Apparently people are praising this game as some kind of epic psychoanalysis and comment on society as a whole. It's not. It's just a story of cabin fever that could have been told in 30 seconds but dragged out across 2 hours with walking between rooms doing fetch missions.
To give it credit, I think if the dialogue would have been fully voiced it could have helped make an emotional connection; as is, the writing isn't all that, so I found reading it was boring as hell.

A black man made this game

Started playing Assassin's Creed Syndicate again. This was/is a pretty good game overall :ehh:

Playing the Tower of London assassination mission. Killed the fake Templar guards to infiltrate, then ziplined for a second then went into the kill room cutscene without even killing the target or meeting up with the guard who'd take me to them :dahell:

I was trying to explain to my nephews the madness of "Twitch plays Pokemon" and how there has never been anything like it since. I found a couple of youtube summaries, but man...talk about a "you had to be there" moment in gaming history. Pokemon had nicknames like Bird Jesus and John the Zapdist. Key pokemon were getting tossed out, and brigades jumped in trying to sabotage it. But damn was that a fun little run.
