I'm not sure I did like the end. I'd have to watch it again though as I only watched it once just after it came out. Yeah 3.0, while having a brilliant opening, definitely killed my enthusiasm for the entire mini series for me. 4 is built on what 3 started as well, so it's hard to escape hah.

Hello! I've played a lot of megagames here in the UK and this sounds right up my alley, I'd love to participate, or at least find out more, first.

Out of everything I've done since joining @hoodedhorse.bsky.social, getting Olden Era on the cover of @pcgamer.com is the closest I've come to having a "made it" moment, and i'm over the moon. Thanks to @robertnjones.bsky.social for the op and GG to the Unfrozen team. Great stuff!

I will say though the BR mode needs some tweaking ASAP. The number of times I nearly splattered myself on the floor because I couldn't remember which button was the parachute deploy button (and no prompt). And it's a different button AFAIK for initial deployment than it is for Second Chance! Wild.

NGL lads Gauntlet mode in BF6 is dope. One of the most refreshing modes since extraction became a thing. I just wish BF6 had given extraction another go as while RedSec is fine BR isn't always my speed. But then I tried Gauntlet and it stole the show for me.

Against the Storm has consistently featured in @pcgamer.com's "Best PC Games" coverage, one way or another. A testament to how genuinely great this team and this game is, and I'm humbled that I get to help them achieve their dreams.

Remember Bluey is set in a universe where everyone is a dog, so maybe Halloween wasn't invented. Although the grandad was in the army so clearly WW2 happened.
