So now I have to decide what games to preorder... I'm thinking

Mad Max (September 2015)
NHL 16 (September 2015)
Uncharted Collection (October 2015)
Uncharted 4 (Spring 2016?)
Mass Effect (Fall/Winter 2016)

I already got Fallout (ordered the Pip Boy edition last night). Anything else worth grabbing that slipped my mind? Only have a PS4 right now. I might have an XB1 by then, but I'm not ordering games for a console I don't have yet.

I thought about it but there's probably no point. I'll be too busy playing Fallout. I'll get it eventually though.

I am almost positive that if I asked you the answer to 2 + 2, you'd come back with "Wii U is toast, Nintendo hasn't done anything".

It's reaching ludicrous now.
Uh... Cool story?

Of course Wii U will continue to be supported by Nintendo, but that doesn't make it less of a failure. I love Nintendo's IP's and would love nothing more than to see them come at swinging hard with great looking Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Pokemon games. But they routinely fail to do so.

Do you really think they had some awesome showing and are excited about their products? Do you think the Wii U has a promising and exciting future? Those would be the ludicrous statements, not what I said.

Nintendo is consistently a disappointment.

Well, just a few years ago we couldn't even see these press conferences ourselves at work, on the train or at home. It would just be via the press reps that were actually in attendance and maybe shorts video clips and articles done up afterwards.

With youtube channels and twitch streams it's a new world as I shake my fist at all these young punks and their selfie sticks.

That said, the balding guy swearing over and over again in front of his kids was pretty amusing.

The only one I watched was the game trailers one.

That one made me laugh since these are guys that are being paid by a company to host a live show, and they end up jumping around like a bunch of crazy kids.

I would love for a Mickey/Mario crossover, have to think that Amiibo may also be coming to Disney Infinity with this news.

Also would like to see Disney buy Nintendo. Feel like Disney would give those great Nintendo characters their proper treatment, and you know an amazing themepark would be quick to follow.

This is my list,

NHL 16
Fallout 4
Mass Effect
SW:Battlefront

Might dab into Overkill: Walking Dead if it looks good. I miss a good zombie shooter, L4D is getting dry

After watching the trailer for Ghost Recon I am putting it on my list. Looks really cool. Check the prerelease reviews and decide later to keep or not.
