ATTENTION COD DMZ PLAYERS
@pissclams and other Call of Dutiers:

COD is resetting all progress on missions next Thursday. So, that means if you are still try to unlock that second insured weapon slot, you better bust ass on getting those Black Mous, White Lotus, and Legion tiers 1-3 missions complete.

HOWEVER, there are internet blogs saying that the next gen missions will be easier to unlock, but do we really KNOW that? No. No we do not.

I didn’t get the second slot unlocked in time. I went hard, but in the end the “exfill with $100K” and $200k, and the hunt contract eluded me. I managed to solo get a weapons case tho! That wasn’t easy.

Completing a hunt contract solo is very very hard (impossible?)

I’ve killed an entire squad by myself multiple times, but that was when I could surprise them. On a hunt contract they know you are coming and when you are close. Need a salty 3 man squad or grab two more randos and make a 5 man.

I watched the first 2.5 episodes of Last Of Us before I decided to stop & play the game first.

I looked up the play though time & it says 14 hours I really like the game, but I feel like I’ve put in 10 hours & I’m still trying to get out Pittsburg. I spend a lot of time looking for stuff, but I keep finding stuff so I don’t feel like I’m wasting time.

That game is so good, especially experiencing it the first time. After the first play through people will burn through chapters in roughly 40 minutes (speed runs, not trying to collect everything). There really wasn’t a part in the game i didn’t enjoy. My advice would be just enjoy it as you go, and you shouldn’t be disappointed. Some levels/chapters can take some time navigating.

Why play the game first? I would want to do the opposite.

My kid doesn't want to watch the show at all because he loved the game. Like, doesn't want to taint his appreciation of the game. I do that with books.

I’d rather not know what’s coming on the version I’m interacting with. I’ve picked up enough to know they’re going to be interacting with others on their way, but it’s mostly just about the two of them, so something has to happen with the others. I’d rather find out in the game if I’m going to have to kill them or not rather than in the show.

I can get behind that.

metroid Prime remaster on switch pretty great - never played the original

I've been pretty bored lately so I bought a ps5 and have been playing Spider-Man. It's very fun.

I don’t have a PS but that God of War looks interesting

I played about 20 minutes of gow ragnarok and it didn't grab me at all

Went here this afternoon for a team building event with coworkers and it was awesome.

https://www.flipswitchvr.com/

Basically VR zombie blasting 24/7/365 and you have elevators and stuff where you all have to get on at the same time. 10/10 would recommend as a work event or older 12+ kid bday party.

We reserved 2 hours and that was plenty. Each "Game/Level" lasts around 20 minutes and its you and 3 other bro's/broette's just blasting zombies and other obstacles with VR guns then taking a sip of beers to celebrate each victory.

I might try it again after Spider-Man because 20 minutes is definitely not the best way to judge a game, but the intro totally bored me. I couldn't wait to get to a save point so I could leave.

The new Harry Potter game is pretty fun.

I am about 75% done with GOW Ragnarok and I 100%ed the first one. The second one took me a bit to get into but after the big opening reveal it had me firmly by the balls.
