Mike Augello: Pandemic’s biggest impact may be on player development

A good ol Ontario boy would drop his Ivy League degree and put all of his chips in being a crash and banger hockey player.

From last blog-

I really hate battle royale games. Apex Legends was the only one I could play for more than 3 rounds without just glazing over and walking away.

I really like it. I've always been a FPS guy and I hadn't played any since Black OPS 2 came out years ago. I got back into it with this game because of Covid. Was bored and bought a Xbox One ((frank)ing just before they announced that they're coming out with a new Xbox this year ).

I love that there's so many people in a single game and that the map is stupidly big. I just wish I had the reflexes I had when I was younger. I'd be so much better at it than I am now.

No idea what Apex Legends is. I'll look it up.

I can’t possibly imagine how or why they have an AHL season.

As for ECHL, I confess I am not terribly familiar with the locations, but maybe they play in places that are dumb enough to feel comfortable with packing people into COVID incubators without masks?

It's kind of in between COD and Fortnite. It's made by the studio that made Titanfall 1 and 2.

I played the CS battle royale mode for awhile. It was good.

My biggest gripe with a lot of shooters is that the gunplay doesn't feel good so the CS one was up my alley.

I've never been a big fan of battle royales.

But I feel like Warzone is the best of the bunch.

BTW, installed my RTX 3070 2 days ago. Jesus christ it's a beauty.

Fortnite makes no (frank)ing sense to me. I've watched a few videos on youtube and it's just very damn confusing.

I think the better question is, which is the best TV marathon leading up to or right after christmas

The triple D marathon is pretty sweet
The border patrol marathon is also a good one

TBS used to do 7 days of Bond leading up to christmas which was amazing

It would be a very fun game if it wasn't for all that "OMG HE's SHOOTING AT ME, BUILD WALLS, BUILD A TOWER".

I can't keep up with that.

Back in 2005, I was mostly playing Counter-strike. Never really played battlefield games.
