No that's why its funny though. I'm imagining Kojima just botching that English.

Still not done all the seasons but I'd love to play with you lads and ladies.

My XBL is: DIPSET MIKEYMO

I'm slowly chipping away. A wonderful game. I want to share more about my experience but please people play this to support a good direction from MS.

SURPRISE! I NEVER KONAMI!

The funniest thing that could ever happen. I'd buy 8 copies of MGS V Complete Edition and 17 copies of Death Stranding.

See I only know about Silent Hill 1 & 2 and know nothing else about the series. I somehow doubt the cutting room floor lore about Silent Hill spreading turned to the grassy highlands of the UK, clear skies, and sci-fi god-like robot monsters.

I want to believe in some next level marketing, but it doesn't make sense. Too many people working in this industry for the secret to not slip up. Unless the director has all story elements under wraps and the team at the studio just does as they are told without context (been done before in film).

I'd like to believe Kojima, Konam, Sony, and god knows who else created some elaborate marketing scheme that somehow intertwines into the narrative of Death Stranding, but nope. Doesn't make any sense to me. Silent Hill is Silent Hill and Death Stranding looks like it takes place in some Icelandic mountains or something. Ireland Hills maybe, but not Silent Hills.

The bonding thing is very true. I only started watching NFL again with my roommate because we missed when we’d do that as kids. We used to surround ourselves with friends and family who care about sports but they are few and far between now.

I also think I got him into gaming more than he ever has been in his life. The proximity thing is really true.

My love of games is unfettered. I'm always impressed by the new technologies that the gaming industry puts into the market and how supportive gamers are of tech so we push the marketplace further than most other industries. I'm always impressed by new gameplay ideas, storytelling, and new ways of using the platform to redefine what can be done with "games".

With that said, I struggle to balance personal life, work life, and recreation. Health and wellness is very important and I want to create stronger exercise habits before I focus on allocating more time into gaming. Unless I win the lotto, I'll never sit down and play hours and hours like I did when I was in middle school. Tiredness can stop me from enjoying good games, as do other factors. I'm growing out of it relative to how much enjoyment I had as a child with no restraints. But the love is still there. I want to try and make a career around gaming so it will be forced into my daily life. Then I think I'd love it more than ever.

I wonder if there is a way to recover my old account from when I was in like grade 7. It had my definitive name (GoTaco) instead of the one I have been using since 2009 (GoTaco_). I can't even remember how I lost access. I think I forgot my password to PSN AND my email like a typical dumb kid.

I use DIPSET on EZA and now XBL, but I've always used GoTaco since SOCOM II in 2004. If anything I should change my EZA name BACK to match it.

The name changing sounds kinda janky though. Early PSN coding must have been a mess.

Opted not to try out Game Pass because there weren't enough games on Windows 10 (imo), but after an ISP fiasco, I finally have the game downloaded and will FINALLY play it!! Woohoo.

Well, it finally happened. I FINALLY played it. Such a thrilling game. I have been playing for 2 hours and it's still tutorializing me but not in a bad way at all. I don't even know if I've unlocked the online features yet. Open worlds, especially online stuff, overwhelms me so I'm honestly not even sure what's going on around me.
