	For those of you that enjoy racing games, Microsoft and Turn 10 are finally bringing Forza to the PC. It's been rumored off and on for years. The game is in open beta right now and I've had a chance to play it for a couple hours. It's a bit buggy, but it looks great and performs solidly on my three year old PC. Forza is literally the only reason I own an XBox One and I'm happy to see it finally coming to PC! http://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/fm6_apex_beta_announce If you want to play it, just pop open the crappy Microsoft Store app on Windows 10 and search for Forza. -b0b (...had some trouble getting it installed, but it runs great.)

	When I first saw this announcement, I thought maybe Briney had hit the big time. It looks like someone is putting together a 4-player VR simulator that takes place on the bridge of a Star Trek starship. This one is set in the new Abrams reboot universe, though, on a ship I'm not familiar with: https://pay.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/4nj34s/digitalspy_accidentally_leak_upc... -b0b (...would much rather be on the Enterprise D.)

	It's E3, and that means it is time for some gaming trailer goodness! Here are some of my favorites from yesterday: World of Final Fantasy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrGD1ttsX4w&index=105&list=PLraFbwCoisJD87Bh7L5Z... Mass Effect Andromeda https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9m_1MkSphc&list=PLraFbwCoisJD87Bh7L5ZMOfWyKYc8H... Watch Dogs 2 (Hopefully better than the first) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwIN2F1Ipes&list=PLraFbwCoisJD87Bh7L5ZMOfWyKYc8H... Battlefield 1 (BF1 looks amazing.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_YZqPGrm7k&list=PLraFbwCoisJD87Bh7L5ZMOfWyKYc8H... Prey (If Portal and Dead Space had a baby...) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KPhq2ezlhg&list=PLraFbwCoisJD87Bh7L5ZMOfWyKYc8H... Fallout 4 expansions, Fallout Shelter expansions, and Skyrim Remastered https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4qNkr8yZO0&list=PLraFbwCoisJD87Bh7L5ZMOfWyKYc8H... For those on PC, Skyrim Remastered will be free if you already own all expansions or the Legendary Edition. For those on console, you'll get access to mods similar to Fallout 4. Dishonored 2 (Day one purchase for me) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5u9VbGQ7Mo&list=PLraFbwCoisJD87Bh7L5ZMOfWyKYc8H... -b0b (...loves him some E3!)

	Also, Bethesda released some limited information about a VR version of Fallout 4. According to Bethesda, it will be the full game, not an "experience" or mod. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-A1IBEwZOc -b0b (...wants more detail.)

	Microsoft just announced the XBox One Project Scorpio, which is their response to the PS4k. It's an XBox capable of pushing 4k resolutions, supposedly at 60 FPS (I'll believe that when I see it) It also includes the phrase, "These are the highest quality pixels that anybody has ever seen." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfrVNZyE-yE Also, here's the trailer for Forza Horizon 3, which I'm super geeked about because I love me some Forza. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3exUxSQ9g2g -b0b (...just in case buying the console once wasn't sufficient.)

	More E3 goodness! The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rPxiXXxftE Resident Evil 7 (Coming with VR support, which should be utterly terrifying) https://gaming.youtube.com/watch?v=rxjOFd0YNo0 Robinson: The Journey (Another PS VR game, but it looks pretty sweet) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JoDvUyJaSU Star Wars Battlefront VR (X-Wings plus VR? Could be amazing!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JS642fmhk0 Dead Rising 4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iuEx5ppV5Y Horizon - Zero Dawn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15btv_VxM5c

	Admittedly, I'm just jealous of your high quality pixels! The current Bobulator hasn't been completely rebuilt in nearly four years, so that's worth noting. I did replace the video card a couple years back and that cost more than a console, though, so your point stands! -b0b (...rebuilding this winter?)

	Yeah. I am definitely not feeling this new console stuff. One of the primary reasons I went back to console gaming was I knew I'd only have to drop 500 dollars every 6 or so years, and I'd always be playing the best looking game I could, same as everyone else. Now, that won't be true anymore. And I don't like it.

	It's been a while since I've had a chance to really dive into a game with any real depth. I just finished playing Firewatch, a first-person exploration title that drops you into the middle of the Shoshone National Forest as a firewatch (betcha didn't see that coming) keeping an eye on miles of untouched forest. Your only companion in the game is Delilah, a fellow firewatch stationed many miles away. You are limited to radio contact, which provides much of the atmosphere in the game. It's a fairly quick game, weighing in at roughly 4 hours, but the experience is worth every penny. From a technical standpoint, the graphics aren't anything special, but the developers have created a really beautiful world that I just couldn't get enough of. The story manages to bundle in a number of different mysteries into the 4-hour play time, packed with intrigue, romance, and a touch of horror. All in all, it was a great experience, and one that I highly recommend.

	Forza Horizon 3 is out for PC and XBox One, and it is quite excellent. You can create your own events, which I'm really enjoying. Also, the BMW Isetta 300 is one of the greatest cars ever made. -b0b (...weee!)

	Nintendo finally announced their new console, the Nintendo Switch. It looks about as gimmicky as we've come to expect from Nintendo, but the titles being teased are pretty interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5uik5fgIaI -b0b (...those controllers look NES-level awful.)

	If it makes you feel any better, I made another championship called Na-na-na-na-na-Nola. -b0b (...good times.)
