What's your team name in that? I'm PS4, but just curious.

Also, the NHL series NEEDS f***ing cross platform so f***ing badly for the sake of finding more consistent EASHL games.

It was Dateline Predators but now I just jumped on my brother's team that he made and I honestly don't even know the name.

This seems like a good time to finally play Witcher III since I never did previously. On weekends, anyway.
Wish I could play during the work week but am still at it full time...commercial construction has not slowed in the PNW despite circumstances.

Me too! But on the switch.

Oh right that shit. We're the Mayors of Flavortown :laugh:.

Do you only play 6v6 or do you play 6s with 4ish people? I'm like 80% sure I've played you before :laugh:

My brother, two cousins and I have been the Swaggy Snipers going on for maybe 4 or 5 years now. It was a dumb name my brother and younger cousin came up with when they were in middle school and we continued to use it when my older cousin and I jumped back into EASHL.

4s and 5s usually. I don't think I remember you guys and I'm sorry if I don't remember correctly haha. We usually change up team names every year.

I have The Orange Box on Xbox 360, but I feel like I should play the Half Life games on PC to get the real experience.

I’m gonna wait for a sale though... I’m not paying $30+ for a couple of ancient games.
They don’t come free when you install steam?

Half-Life 2 and Episodes 1 and 2 are in my gaming pantheon. Front and center. I feel like I've had this discussion before, but those games were so revolutionary and trend setting and brilliantly efficient in narrative/setting/character that a decade and a half later they still have a freshness to them. Good lord play them. Half-Life 1 is no less an achievement in gaming history, though at 22 years old, it will feel more dated. Obviously.

I know you and I briefly discussed Half Life in the past.

I kinda feel like I missed out on it, even though I could obviously play it right now if I wanted to. It’s such an iconic series but I think I would’ve had to play it a long time ago to get the real experience and impact from it. I assume I’ll get neither the initial sense of awe nor the feeling of nostalgia from playing it.

I believe you when you say it holds up, but I just think it’ll be a lesser experience for someone new even in spite of that. It’s a shame.
