Battle Convoy

So #Battlefield6 is turning out to be pretty fun. I never knew blowing up tanks with a sneaky RPG blast or an AT-mine would be so satisfying.

It's so weird how it's been about 16 months since Mobile Suit Gundam: SEED Freedom came out (a film I actually enjoyed, despite my ambivalence to Gundam's Cosmic Era timeline), and for some godforsaken reason, it's still not available on UK Netflix.

What gives?

Citizen Sleeper is actually really compelling to me right now, as someone who usually plays action-oriented games. The idea of being a former indentured servant trying to eke out a survival on a pretty run-down station is surprisingly chill, but fascinating.

And that's not even getting into the Metal Virus stuff. Eggman very nearly doomed the world by making an adaptive nanomachine virus that forcibly rewrites organic DNA into a metal facsimile of itself, and the bloke didn't bother to think of a proper failsafe. I don't blame Starline for bailing.

Like, the idea of Eggman somehow conquering nearly the whole planet within a month is insane, but the comics, especially in regards to characters like Whisper, actually take the time to explore how it would affect the Sonic world in general. Hell, Metal Sonic nearly brought the Empire back up!

Managed to catch up to Issue #40 of the #Sonic comics (and that includes the annuals, the Bad Guys mini-series and the Tangle and Whisper mini-series), and honestly, I've been really enjoying them. Which is funny considering how Sonic Forces was generally received. (These comics are post-Forces.)

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, developed by #InfinityWard, is genuinely one of the most underrated CoD games I think about today. Yeah, it's #CallOfDuty in SPACE, and yeah, the multiplayer is a remixed version of Black Ops III, but damn isn't the campaign a genuinely fun story to play through.

Also, hi, I'm Convoy. I'm a British nerd who likes playing video games, and watching giant robots duke it out.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 actually was the final nail I needed to get into Sonic lore, so I started with Sonic Adventure. I plan to start off the original games once I beat all of Adventure's story. I should probably read more of the IDW comics, too.

This might be a hot take of mine, but if the (ridiculously) failed hero shooter Concord was actually made as a single-player action RPG in the vein of the recent Guardians of the Galaxy game instead, it might've done a lot more than the utter embarrassment it got within 2 weeks. #PlayStation
