Rumour: Did Bethesda Just Tease DOOM 2 For This Year's E3?

Sounds good to me. I'm really looking forward to E3 this year. Nintendo have kept the second half of 2018 under wraps so far, so I'm hopeful there'll be a few good surprises this year.

At the very least, if not a sequel to Doom, give us a collection with all Three (yes even the third one) classics and port of Doom 64.

@thiz Agreed. Best game hands down. It was made even more amazing when it went Portable.

0w0

So not a rumour, but more speculation on Nintendo Life's part? Doom 2 remake would be nice though.

PS4, Xbox One, PC.

Maybe Switch.

Wouldnt it be nice to have a game other than Star Link and Sonic Forces, like a big game, get day and date release with the big boys for the first time in honestly what feels like decades?

reading too much into this one

That's a VERY strong hint!

I'd be excited to see another new DOOM, but really, I'd be much more excited for any news, however vague, on Elder Scrolls VI.

If a new a new Doom is coming I can't see it launching for Switch on day one or at all. I think we are more likely to get more info on Wolfenstein 2 and a Fallout port, probably New Vegas.

Or it's a publisher up to their usual pre-E3 Tricks and Traps. I hope Bethesda shows Doom 2 soon!

Whether this turns out to be true or not, I'm just impressed by the fact that you even picked up on that.

I would so love it if we got the originals on Switch, complete with splitscreen Co-Op. It would be a triple dip for me, but shotgunning Cacodemons in the face never gets old.

@thiz couldn't argee more

That sentence is so awkwardly worded it has to have been a deliberate hint...

Technically it should be DOOM 5...

I'd be more willing to bite if it someone from ID saying that, but he does work for their publisher. However 2 years is a very short turn around... hmmm.

Switch won't get TES6 so the best users can hope for is ports of Fallout 3/New Vegas (you're not getting 4) and MAYBE another Doom port down the line if there is a new one. Struggles to run Doom/Wolf 2 as it is so assuming Doom 2 will be more advanced, yeah...

I also hope they properly reboot Quake in the same style as Doom.

Meanwhile, at EA headquarters...

I understand lots of people love the new Doom but I just don't think it quite captures the magic of the originals. And, if you want a couple of examples: I don't like that most of the battles take place in a kind of locked-off arena setup where you have to clear the room of enemies just to move on, and the enemies also spawn in too. That's not what made the original Doom's gameplay and level design so compelling and satisfying. Also, I just don't think the new design of the Cyberdemon compares to the original, both in appearance and just how intimidating and terrifying he is/was as a demonic/hellish baddie. https://inceptionalnews.wordpress.com/2016/01/07/doom-release-date-gets-leaked-2/ That's just a couple of examples.

So, I'm hoping Doom 2 can maybe get closer to the greatness of the classic originals while obviously still be brought up to date for modern times and all that stuff.

@theinstruct0r at this point I think it’s fair to call it a rumour. A lot of places reported on this yesterday from what I saw so definitely not just Nintendolife speculation.

If it feels too similar to the first Doom, I'll probably pass (if it comes to Switch anyway).

@sikthvash
Sorry, but how can you play spliscreen on Switch the handheld?🙁

@MrBlacky You can easliy play 8 player splitscreen in portable mode with the gameboy magnifier option winks I meant on the big screen of course - or link play for portable mode.

S...t...r...e...t...c...h...

Though I hope if they do announce another Doom somebody asks him if he meant it or it just slipped out that way. Joke doesn't work as well if the game is called DOOMed Again, needs to be called DOOM Hell on Earth. Somebody really needs to make a sequel of a game titled "**** Again". "GTA AGAIN" has a nice symmetry to it. ☺

@impurekind I do agree to some extent, where the aesthetics are concerned, but I also understand, as we have agreed upon in another thread, that stuff gets lost in translation, going from pixel-art to full-on 3D.

Not that I specifically like it, but I understand it, so they will probably have to find some way to get around that to still get that same 'feel' regardless of the change in assets, and apparently, that just doesn't work out all that well all of the time.

But personally, I still think that modern Doom looks great, so you win some, you lose some, I guess.

Also agreed on enemy respawning being a bit of a downgrade, but in my experience, the room design/mechanic is largely similar. In the old Doom, you also had locked rooms/halls where you had to clear the room from enemies (mostly to find the key card for the next door, obviously), so I don't really see a very big difference in that, other than the old Doom also having the option to just run past the enemies and go to the next room in certain areas.

But maybe I'm missing something, because I'm looking at it from a gamer's point of view, and you're probably looking at it as a programmer/developer.

@rjejr GTFO Again? PETA Again? Delayed Again? DOA Again?

@Menchi187 You're almost certainly right about TES6 not coming to Switch, but the crux of those games is the world building. I'm sure TES6 is going to be stunning graphically, and probably suffer massive framerate drops on everything bar high-end PCs, but no Switch owner would complain if Bethesda simply bumped down the textures and lost a bunch of lighting effects. It's not like the Switch supports 4K anyway, so most owners couldn't give two hoots about superior anti-aliasing or whatever. I think there is scope for Bethesda to provide the game, with full story, audio and systems. Even if it comes at 480p, who cares? They've said they'd like to treat the Switch as a platform for simultaneous releases in future - they couldn't do it for DOOM and Wolfenstein II for obvious reasons.

I'm just talking myself into believing TES6 is a possibility. Don't mind me...

Arachnotrons and Cherubs, please. I really missed them in Doom 2016.

@ThanosReXXX

"Delayed Again" should be the name of Square Enix's next game. Actually it should be the name of all of Square Enix's games.

ARMS AGAIN also has a nice ring to it. Better than ARMS & LEGS anyway.

CoD should start naming all the new games like that.

CoD Again
CoD As If
CoD Yeah Right
CoD Seriously?
CoD But of Course
CoD YAO (yet another one)
CoD Ad Infinitum
CoD Grey Poupon
CoD Why Not?

The R&C games had some good titles, so did Serious Sam.

@rjejr So, trying to evade the actual question, huh?

As old Ben Kenobi would say: 'There is no COD here. These other games are of no use to this discussion. You will now move back to the topic of Doom... '

Haha... That would be amazing! Doom and Wolfenstein are best on PC for me (just updated my living room PC with a GTX1060 so im ready!) but hope it comes out on as many platform as possible.

I think he meant it because it's a very stressful time for them. With all the planning and such.

@ThanosReXXX Evade? moi?

What question, per chance, is it that I was/am evading?

@rjejr If I guessed the "sounds like GTA Again" riddle right...

It probably won't be announced for Switch, but still excited by this tidbit.

@ThanosReXXX Honestly I have no idea what you are talking about, not even a little. There was no riddle on my end, it was just me being me.

@rjejr COD But Of Course cracked me up a lot more than I’d be willing to admit 😂

I think “again” would apply well to titles with verbs, something like “Devil May Cry Again”, but yeah, “Doom Again” would also make sense.
COD would be apt if only for its ubiquitous nature, but it’d be more fitting if stylized as “COD...Again?!” lol

@clvr “Devil May Cry Again”

That looks so good like it should have been a real game already. If it were a movie series instead of games they certainly would have used it by now. James Bond films had the best titles back in the day, the Craig films got a bit too full of themselves.

"I couldn’t give you any guesses as to what we’re going to announce" - but then provides a hint straight after?

Nah... "Whether or not folks realize it, this is the hell on Earth time for us with E3. We are in the midst of so much planning and work for all of that content" surely refers to how much work/stress an E3 preparation is?

The "Whether or not folks realize it" bit could refer to folk maybe thinking the hardest part is the game development rather than the presentations and reveals to the buying (and often overcritical) public.

Then again, maybe I'm overthinking it more than you guys are...

@sikthvash
But how can my friends connect their Switches to my TV so we play spltscreen? Is this even possible? And wouldnˋt it be cheaper, if I could just buy some additional controllers which my friends could use, because not everyone of my friends has a Switch... but then again: You can not connect more controllers to Switch the handheld.☹️

@MrBlacky They couldn't do that - take a look at how Minecraft & Mario Kart currently do splitscreen. Online Co-Op would also be a great option.

Yes please!!

@thiz

It is a great shooter! I’m truly enjoying it much more than I ever imagined!

@PuppyToucher True. I'm just going by the source article where the news comes from. It's not like someone pretending or actually having insider information and saying it, it's literally looking at a string of words and giving them a possible meaning that could lead to unnecessary hype.

@PhilKenSebben Doom 2016 was first shown in 2014, so the gap will likely be close to four years. That should be plenty of time.

@rjejr I guess I misunderstood this, then:

"Somebody really needs to make a sequel of a game titled "**** Again". "GTA AGAIN" has a nice symmetry to it."

I thought there was supposed to be something on the dots that you weren't willing/allowed to say on here and which kind of looked or sounded like "GTA AGAIN".

My bad, hope I didn't give you a headache from trying to figure out what the hell I was on about...

If Panic Attack is on board, then maybe, just maybe.

@ThanosReXXX Actually, in the original Doom games the key was usually just somewhere in a room/area and you could collect it at your own leisure (maybe you'd have to figure out how to get to it if it were locked away somehow) so it didn't feel like a forced design restriction due to not being able to render hundreds of enemies at one time and/or let players freely roam around the levels (so long as the door was open) and engage any enemies they came across as they saw fit, so much as it does in this new game imo. I mean, they deliberately lock-down rooms and seal the doors when you enter and activate the enemy wave in this new Doom, and then open then again when that room of demons are dead (even though there's demons in literally the very next room too half the time), which doesn't really make sense to me and is something I just don't feel.

I sort of feel the designer in the new game telling me a bit more how and when I should be playing than I did in the classic games, and one of the greatest things a game can do is let me feel like I'm playing exactly the way I want as and when I want--like the new Zelda really does brilliantly for example. So that's a very important thing to me as a gamer.

And to be very clear, I'm always looking at things from the gamers perspective. For me it's all about the end-user experience, and the way the controls feels and how fun the gameplay is and how satisfying it is to make your way through the levels and stuff.

@impurekind Not saying that you weren't, but I think it's fair to say that a bit of your experience will always be an influence, much like it is with me when it involves a topic that concerns sales & marketing. It probably can't be helped.

As for those keys: I seem to (mistakenly?) remember having to shoot monsters/guards at some point to get a key card, but I know it's not necessary for ALL doors. Or perhaps I'm confused with Quake. Could be...

Anyway, I never did put Doom's mechanics under a microscope or scrutinize them that much, so it's interesting to read your observations.

You know what it actually reminds me of? classic (pre-BotW) Zelda dungeons: enter the dungeon, the door closes behind you, and you'll only be able to leave once you've defeated the boss. And that mechanic is present in many other similar games, such as Darksiders and so on, which is probably why I never noticed or why it never bothered me that much.

@rjejr thanks, I’ll make sure to have Capcom hire me 😁
Though seeing how well they’ve been faring the last few years, I think it’d be too good an idea for their executives to approve 😉

@clvr Capcom seems to be treading water these days, can't see them hiring anyone to improve anything, just sending out old game code to port farmers. They've probably already got a lot of their collections lined up for the 4k treatment on next gen consoles. 😛

@ThanosReXXX No, I didn't mean anything by that sorry, just space holders. And I didn't think about it too much, robotics team coach contacted us and its $2,000 for the Detroit trip, and we really don't have that laying around. Last minute plane ticket prices are nuts. Thinking about driving the whole family for $1k intead, still not cheap, but it's a family vacation then.

@Salnax Doom 2016 had been under development since 2011 (after being restarted that year, from its beginnings in 2008). So I wasnt expecting a teaser until Quakecon next year at the earliest (Which is where 2016 was first shown in 2014).

NINTENDO IS DOOOOOOOMED

@rjejr Holy crap! That's a bummer, to say the least. I wouldn't even have the extra cash for a road trip right now, so it would probably be a bus trip or a week of hitch-hiking cross-state...

I hope you can pay some of that from that sponsor money, or was that for the entire school?

The Switch version will probably be a late port.

I’d love to see Doom but to date id Softwares seemed to be a one game at a time type studio and they already have Quake Champions due this year (in early access now). Dunno if I like the chances of a Doom right now as a result, but fingers crossed.

@ThanosReXXX Yeah, it actually is closer to how Zelda handles that "kill enemies to get key" thing than how classic Doom does it. It doesn't generally bother me in Zelda, really only because it's been there from the start so it's an accepted staple and mechanic of that world, but I just don't think it fits in the world of Doom particularly well as that game was never quite so obvious in showing the obvious game design rules/mechanics behind the gameplay, if you get me. I don't actually recall any times you had to clear a room of enemies to specifically get the key in classic Doom but it wouldn't completely shock me if it happened a couple of times, but only a couple. Regardless, I personally think Doom is a better game when it's not making stuff like that so forced and directed.

@rjejr “They've probably already got a lot of their collections lined up for the 4k treatment on next gen consoles”

Yep, they’re probably hard at work, but they have still time to screw them up until the next consoles launch 😜

Joking aside (or maybe not), I’m looking forward to Ultra Super Nuclear Street Fighter 2 Again Ad Nauseam 4k 4 Real: All The Individual Pixels!

I’m realizing just now that the next standard in naming conventions will probably consist in adding “4k” at the end of every title just like everyone has with “HD” in the last 10 years. I don’t know, it doesn’t sound that right; but then again, neither “HD” probably does, we’re just accustomed to it.
It’s weird though that we’ve had 2 generations’ worth of HD remasters and remasters of remasters: it just shows that the 7th gen was never really HD in the first place.
Or yeah, 7th was HD and 8th was full HD, but “full HD” ain’t that great to add at the end of a title.

I sometimes stop and think about naming conventions and how weird they’d be if we weren’t used to them.
For example, how weird is adding 64 at the end of each and every game just because it’s on a platform with 64 in its name?
64 is such an ugly number.
But it could be generalized to include every game that has the name of its console in the title (which is mainly a Nintendo thing), like Mario Kart Wii or Rayman DS.
Super Mario 64 DS takes the cake though, it’s just ridiculous 😛

Doom2- releasing on all 2 consoles: Ps4 and XboxOne.

It is kinda funny he chose that phrase, isn't it. DOOM 2 would be great news, and if it comes to Switch I'll be onboard.

It could be DOOM II: Hell on Mars.

@thiz Doom was okay, maybe even very good. But let’s not get carried away, yeah?

Massive goes : nyc is attacked by hell demons . Open world.

I think you're right there. The wording is very strange, I can't imagine it flowing very well, so I think this is very credible.

@thiz I dont have to live with anything. Except maybe that thing under the sink...

I’ll get it on PS4 or Switch! I’m sure it’ll be great!!

@thiz not sure about game of the century but I will say that it is the best first person shooter I've played since erm Doom 😉

@clvr : That's why marketing deptartments use "4K" instead of UHD or QHD. It rolls off the tongue. QD perhaps could have worked but it's too late now.

When I first heard about "4K" TVs going to market, I was excited (being a film graduate) that commercial TVs were becoming wider in order to match what can be seen in a cinema. I even have a camera that shoots at native 4K resolution (4096x2160), which will need to be cropped for "4K" TVs (and downscaling the full 4096x2160 image to 3840x2160 will only make it look worse).

It really annoys me that 4K is used as a marketing term instead of for what it actually is. Nobody calls a HD TV a "2K" TV, as 2K and 4K are cinema standards. Anyway, the damage is done, but I feel a compulsive need to point out what 4K actually is when explaining to others that I am shooting at 4K.

@impurekind Yeah, I guess you do have a good point there. It's just that I never really noticed it that much, to be honest. I was way too busy fending off hordes of angry aliens to recognize the mechanics behind it...

@sillygostly yep, marketing and the masses cares about the buzz words create, not the actual meaning.
It was pretty much the same with “HD” as you could never really be sure if they were using it as “HD ready” or “full HD”; it’s just that the majority of people who is not that into gaming or films doesn’t know (nor really care about) the difference, and having to learn two terms, both relating to HD, would certainly create a lot of confusion among the average consumer.
I mean, a lot of TV’s and such have a logo indicating what kind of HD it is, with “full” or “ready” written very small, so that “HD” is more visible.

The thing is a lot of people really don’t know the difference and still complain that the consoles Nintendo makes are weak, and they want power...SMH 🤦🏼‍♂️

@clvr : People buy expensive headphones and car stereos to listen to pirated and/or heavily compressed music at 3ish megabytes per track. I think that example encapsulates just how little customers care about the integrity of what they watch or listen to.

@impurekind : As much as I loved Doom 2016, I too really disliked how the game forces you to defeat entire hoards of enemies in order to press forward, but I can understand it to a degree due to how much more complex the monsters are now as opposed to the simplistic behaviours and sprites of the original.

My biggest peeve with the game was with how bosses were handled. In the original DOOM games, bosses were treated like regular enemies after their initial appearance, serving as "gotcha" moments in some of the tougher levels later on. In fact, some stages in Final DOOM (not sure about DOOM II) had multiple Cyberdemons in a single level. The infamous Go 2 It was particularly brutal, with at least a dozen of them.

@sillygostly exactly, I never come up with that example when I need one but it’s utterly perfect 👌🏻

@sillygostly Your peeve with the bosses in the original Doom is just another thing I love about it.

Doom was a fun game, but I'd much rather have a sequel to RAGE. One where the game is more open ended and less linear, along with an actual ending.

@impurekind : No, I like how they were handled in the original DOOM.

@sillygostly Ah, well me too.

@clvr playing catch'up again

4K naming started w/ me 2 years ago, sammy was using it for the new PS4 which went on to be named PS4 Pro. I liked PS4K, it just worked as it was already PS4 and Nintnodo kind of did the same thing with DS and DSi, so PS4K kind of said it all. It didn't happen, but since then all remasters started ending in 4K for me.

http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2016/03/talking_point_would_you_buy_an_upgraded_ps4k

In retrospective Sony did the right thing by NOT naming it PS4K. For one, "PS 4K U" is too easy of an insult if said the right way. But more importantly, had they named it PS4K then they would have lost their sole marketing tactic for PS5, which will be "games in true 4K native resolution" b/c really that's all they'll have to differentiate PS5 games from PS4 games. Also, Xbox1S has a 4k disc drive, PS4 Pro doesn't, so that would have just been so stupid to call it that. So I'm glad they didn't.

But there will be a half dozen PS4 games called "xxx 4K" on PS5 within a year of launch. H:ZD4K, GoW4K, Spiderman4K. BAsically Wii U games on Switch, and PS3 game son PS4.

Trick will be, and I haven't worked this out yet, how to sell them if PS5 is BC with PS4, b/c then people will just stick their discs in. And if it isn't BC, well they better have a really good explanation. And if ti is BC, well they'll still need an explanation why those games can't be upgraded to 4K via patch.

But there will be games on PS5 called 4K. I'm almost sure of that.

@ThanosReXXX Just to catch you up on the robotics trip to Detroit, looking like a lot less than $2k now, if we can actually find a way to get our team there, we shipped the robot yesterday. My wife said we aren't making a family trip out of it, she has to work, but we'll see. If my son goes but I don't I'll be spending those 5 days playing GoW, broke my "no Day 1" rule and pre-ordered it.

I don't recall you being on twitter but you can probably view this anyway w/o signing up. Team is making a go of it.

https://twitter.com/bobmrik/status/986619930085863424

@rjejr what do you mean by “playing catch up again”?

And yeah, I do remeber the time when these mid-gen upgrades were only rumors, and I also remember you and all of PS calling it PS4k; at the time I thought it’d be called that as well, but I agree that in hindsight PS4 Pro is a better name as it doesn’t imply promises it can’t keep.

On the topic of remasters vs. backwards compatibility I don’t know, I’m torn.

It obviously would be way better if PS5 was BC (and I believe it can cause it probably will be built on an architecture similar to that of the PS4), but BC seems more and more like a thing of the past: the last console to do that the old-fashioned way is the Wii U. I’m not totally sure how the XBox works, but I seem to understand you can play older games only in digital form; also, the PS3 started out as backwards compatible, but that didn’t stop devs from releasing tons of up-rezzed version of older games.

If I were to trust my guts, I’d say Sony’s not gonna leave the remaster money on the table, so I’d wager PS5 won’t be BC and the market will be flooded again with remasters (and remasters of remasters).

@clvr "what do you mean by “playing catch up again”?"

This thread is from last week, I'm catching up on my emails from then, was busy doing other stuff over the weekend and earlier this week.

@rjejr ah I see, I didn’t get whom you were referring to 😯

@rjejr Thanks for the update. I was actually wondering about the progress you guys were making.

I would like to think you actually would go there, though. Gotta support your kid, man. Come what may. Can't trade that in for playing a game on your couch. The game will wait, while this event will probably only be a one-timer.

P.S.

Pretty creative stuff there, that 2.5D Yoshi...

@ThanosReXXX Hey dont' go bashing my Yoshi, my nephew liked it, it was his birthday gift. Well that and Rocket League on Switch, I'm not an ogre.

@rjejr Well, I did say it was pretty creative, and I didn't put that in quotation marks...

Guess the tongue-out smiley gave me away, huh?

As for the rest: well, if your kid doesn't want it, then that's a different situation altogether. I was simply thinking in general, as in: "kid goes to competition, might appreciate his parents being there to support him".

Forget I ever mentioned it...

@ThanosReXXX I'm fun to have a beer with, it's when I'm not having a beer it's a problem.

Yeah, I'll be deleting this one too. You can keep yours, I'm an American, I'll deny everything, facts mean nothing to us.

@rjejr You seem to forget that I'm one too. Full delete or bust, I say. I'll edit the last part of #96 as well, so there'll be no traces left...

And I was just pulling your leg about the beer. If ever you'll find your way back here again, I'll order you one. And one glass of whatever the missus likes, whether that'll be club soda or something else.

I am starting to wonder about something due to this exchange, but I'll save you the trouble of having to type more temporary messages. so I'll just add that to the list of "things I'm better off never asking but will still always wonder about"...

@rjejr Thought you were gonna delete #97...

@ThanosReXXX One hundredth!!

Getting all deja vu now. I don't think my tablet likes NL, or vice versa. It's gray and raining, Alexa isn't answering me, I'm going back to bed. 😛

@rjejr Yeah, I saw some reports of rain and even flood flashes troubling the subway entries earlier this week.

Over here, it's getting warmer every day, and the sun is shining. But reports are, that we're getting some lightning storms next week, so summer isn't quite here yet...

@ThanosReXXX The weather is broken. I'm close to thinking reality is broken, expect any minute for something completely absurd to happen, like giant Godzilla sized monsters, or an island inhabited by dinosaurs, or space aliens, or magnitude 13 earthquake or Yellowstone supervolcano having an extinction level event.

https://www.slashgear.com/this-yellowstone-study-just-cut-our-potential-apocalypse-timeline-11503648/

Maybe the sky lifting open and a giant hand or tentacle coming into our diorama world and moving stuff around. Hey, if there's a god, we're basically a diorama world.

Sorry, I spent too much time in the late 90's reading Edgar Cayce and end times scenarios and every once in awhile I get in a mood. This morning I'm in way over my head in one of those moods. So far food and caffeine are not helping, considering going back to bed. Monday blahs on a Thursday.

Well at least my kid is going to Detroit, meeting tonight as 6, only $350, there is some good in the world. Just wish my wife wanted to go.

@rjejr Oh well, luckily, stuff like that only happens in America, if the movies are to be believed, so I'm good. You see the occasional Eiffel tower or Big Ben destruction as a kind of a footnote that the monsters/aliens wreaked havoc in Europe too, but hardly ever something that even remotely resembles Amsterdam, so I'm not going to lose any sleep over that...

And if God is actually there, then I'm probably going straight to hell, so monsters and/or aliens are the least of my problems...

No need for sorry's, I know the feeling. Currently, no paid assignments, so just spending a lot of time looking for interesting companies and talking to people to see if I can entice them to let me do their marketing/sales for them. Exhausting stuff, and also a great way to have Monday feels on a Thursday.

Sometimes, I don't even know what day it is anymore, unless I check my calendar. Celebrated Easter twice this year, thanks to stupid TV commercials, making me think it was already Easter a week too soon...

That's the stuff that happens when you live alone and your brain goes in all directions at once trying to make ends meet in a very competitive market as your own boss...

@ThanosReXXX "That's the stuff that happens when you live alone and your brain goes in all directions at once trying to make ends meet in a very competitive market as your own boss..."

Sounds like fun. Not. Though it's funny, I'm pretty much just the opposite of you I suppose, not looking for work just yet, living with a wife and kids, but I'm still going in all directions at once trying to make ends meet. Only you're doing it for yourself, I'm doing it for others. Someday I'll go back to doing stuff for me. Well besides SGirls and playing video games I mean. We all need some downtime, no matter our circumstances.

@rjejr Tell me about it, and it certainly isn't fun, indeed...

But I chose this route myself, so no one to blame but me. And there are also good times, but usually not around the summer or around the end of year holidays, because in these periods, it's harder to reach/attract new clients. Currently looking for a part time job to add some needed extra income.

Can't tell the company that I rent my apartment from that I can't pay them because I simply don't have any assignments this month...

As for fun: that's why I play games and visit this site, to take my mind of things every once in a while. Last year with my mother passing and some other bad stuff happening in the family over the course of the last 6 months wasn't exactly an all-time high, and the current situation is a bit tough, but I'll get through it somehow, I always do.

As for SGirls: found something else that might interest you. ViperGirls. It's more of a collection website, but they've also got their own models. The web address ends with .to...

I'll probably edit out that last bit after you've read it. Wouldn't want to risk breaking any site rules...

@rjejr Oops, I hit Report instead of Reply. I backed out but we'll see if I 've alerted the authorities.

Robotics parent meeting, school gave us enough money to cover the hotel and transportation, so free trip. Well he'll need money for 5 days of restaurant food, that will probably run about $200, plus souvenirs, but still, free trip to downtown Detroit w/ his team, that's a high school memory worth having.

I'm not 100% sure if there really is a new Doom game. Bethesda could have been deliberately fooling people with that "hell on earth year" to hide the fact that they plan to release more DLC for Fallout 4, Wolfenstein II, the Evil Within 2 and pushing out yet another re-release of Skyrim!

Is there a Skyrim release on Switch? if not there probably will be next year!
