Oculus Rift headsets worldside stopped working today. Oops.

Looks like it was an expired cert:

Happy Birthday!

Started playing Horizon Zero Dawn - what a game! I can see why it won a lot of game of the year awards. It's like a cross between Zelda, Tomb Raider and Nier: Automata. Spectacular graphics, gameplay and story - perfect combo. Highly recommend it for anyone who has a PS4.

I just want a freaking PC version.

Of the original, as well. I've never understand their own desire to bury this game. It would be a huge hit on PC.

I might just have to break down and get a PS4. There's so many other exclusives I want to play on there anyway, such as Bloodborne, Horizon Zero Dawn, Yakuza 0, Until Dawn, the rest of the Uncharted series & The Last Guardian.

@scottalanmiller working on it

Thanks, glad to be back!

@dashrender nah, LogRhythm had the extremely good taste to come poach me from the other place. Plus I realized I missed being in technology.

@dashrender took a gig as the community manager for LogRhythm. Should hopefully be back as a green guy for them on here and Spiceworks too - just getting the approval for marketing to make that part of my job

I finally picked up Dark Souls 3 for $15. I hope it's better than the disappointment that 2 was, since it had the flunkies at the helm. Since Hidetaka Miyazaki was back in charge for 3, here's hoping.

Any Dark Souls is good. Don't bite the hand that feeds. DS3 is our last Dark Souls

I would argue that only the ones actually created by Miyazaki are good - he was just an advisor for 2:

He was off doing Bloodborne at the time. It's like when your favorite TV show's creator leaves and the quality dips.

I finished up all the main endings of Nier Automata, and enjoyed it immensely.

I'm now starting on Prey, which seems like a spiritual successor to the System Shock series. So far it's kept me interested and I'm enjoying the mystery.

I picked up Nier Automata in the Steam sale and am really enjoying it. I've been having a hard time getting into new games lately, but this one hooked me. Any game where you can rip the arm off an enemy and beat them with it has something going for it.

@scottalanmiller Thanks - it's a really fun game. Like DayZ but the matches last a max of 30 minutes so it doesn't take forever for the action to start.

One of these day's I'll pick this game up.

If you have a login at GreenMan Gaming, that's a good place to get a discount. They sent me a coupon for 30% off that brought the price down to about $21.

Made it to #4 in PUBG with two kills (one from a grenade) - my best showing yet. Snuck up on a couple people having a firefight and took them both out.
