Shadow tactics I mean lol

Ha I still think that finishing the first Commandos without cheats as my biggest gaming accomplishment.

Hi! I am buying Christmas gifts for a family and the boy (age 10) asked for Fortnite (PS4), no other details provided. My understanding is Fortnite is free to download (?) and looking on Amazon it appears I can buy skins for characters? Any insight on what to buy would be appreciated. Thank you! Cheers.

Correct - it is free to play and download. You can buy V Bucks gift cards which is used to buy fun skins for the player to use.

I have only played a tiny bit of Fortnite during Beta. What little I know is that there is an ingame currency used for skins, battle passes etc. You could buy him some of that and he can pick and choose what to do with it.

Thank you both, appreciate it!

Can you recommend a good twitch or youtube channel for someone interested in Eve?

I donā€™t watch twitch and youtube gaming channels so I canā€™t give first hand knowledge. Some general ones that Iā€™ve heard of are

CCP the parent company, they do a good job of hosting streamers and sharing information
BjornBee
delonewolf
Jinā€™taan
Bombers Bar - I havenā€™t seen any new content but he was pretty good
Alliance Tournaments are fun to watch. Theyā€™re set up matches that occur once a year between alliances

while looking up stuff I did remember this trailer

and someone did a parody of what Eve actually sounds like. It doesnā€™t sound like this 99.99999% of the time, but still funny

That reminds me, Epic is said to be doing fifteen days of free games for Christmas again this year, beginning with Shenmue 3 on the 16th.

How did you find out which game it is? Has the list been leaked?

Shenmue 3 is the only game thatā€™s been mentioned in rumors. Iā€™ve seen it mentioned in a few places, but they all source the same user from Dealabs.

Finally got Diamond in Rocket League. Took me 3 seasons of being stuck in Plat. I am in no way good enough to get further than diamond so Iā€™ll happily end my competitive journey here.

Thereā€™s still no upgrade to the PS5 version right? I also got the disc for $10 but couldnā€™t seem to update it to a PS5 version.

yea i think its coming in the next couple months

Neon Abyss is todayā€™s free game on Epic. Looks cool. I think I got it in a Humble Bundle or something this year.

Also, Epic is doing the unlimited $10 coupon again.

Steam has free DLC for this game for 4 more hours but you need the base game to play it. Is it possible to link Epic and Steam accounts?

How many runs have you had?
