obtuse rock
👀
delicate heart
4 hours till it starts
ember spoke
Also, Anchel Monday last week: "Ok, time to save up, I'll start by not going out and not buying drinks"
Then Pride canal tour happened. Then Pride parade happened. Then beers after work happened. Then a friend visiting Copenhagen happened. Now Anchel wants beers for Gamescom, to drown out the fact that I'm not there 😢
delicate heart
Time to do my dailies so I'll be ready for later
fading raft

Rebel Moon trailer now.

ember spoke
(Can't find the actual tweet, so not sure if it's real, btw)
glass pagoda
you have to speak out about stuff like that, if you say nothing people will just do it. Everyone needs to know there is consequences to your actions
tame lichen
oh no, well I don't think they called the police, I think they threw him out.
rose arch
what he actually said https://x.com/geoffkeighley/status/1694053432292766199?s=46
Twitter
ember spoke
Was about to post that one 😄
I wonder if he tweeted that or if he has someone to do it. Can you imagine him pulling out his phone to tweet between trailers and interviews? 😛

raven igloo

rose arch

obtuse rock
openworld zombies
glass pagoda
hype for openworld zombies
viral spindle
What is that game for? MWIII?
glass pagoda
yeah
viral spindle
Ah we already had semi-open world so I'm happy that we get some more.
raven igloo
I have issues now though, my daughter loves zombies shes already stole half my Cod games
plays with her bf quite a lot now honestly he just carries her through most the game lol
unreal dirge
i have disliked each zombie version of CoD in the past, but the open world concept has me very interested
raven igloo
yeah I only play campaign now myself
delicate heart
i have disliked each zombie version of CoD in the past, but the open world conce...
It's basically Cold Wars Outbreak mode. If you played that then you know what to expect
viral spindle
Basically yeah, with a few new additions that sound good in theory but am going to wait for reviews before I purchase
raven igloo
right guess I should start food
true fern
CHICKEN BAGEL CHICKEN BAGEL HOT DOG LEMONADE WHOS READY FOR GAMESCOM TODAY?

deep knoll
It’s almost 3pm I just woke up like 30 minutes ago
Thats crazy lol,at what time do You go to bed
Pretty boring show ngl
ember spoke
Definitely looking forward to Sonic Superstars 
surreal fossil
It looks fun, but I could do with it getting a 6 month delay instead of releading mid-October.
unreal dirge
i learned of Fort Solis last week. seems like this is a much anticipated title
true fern
Most sonic games seem to need a delay these days
ember spoke
A 2D game probably can fare a bit better
surreal fossil
The game could be perfect, I just want it delayed because October and end of year are packed like crazy with other stuff to play. 😄
ember spoke

go phil
fading raft
He got early access to that award
true fern
Oh hi Phil
fading raft
More Eris
rose arch
the first game that interests me is of course skipping xbox
delicate heart
Alan Wake 2 went from Maybe to Sure why not for me
true fern
Well that ended a lot sooner than I expected
raven igloo
was on for just over 2 hours if you included pre-show. but yeah nothing much of new stuff
Little Nightmares 3 was a nice surprise but I had heard rumblings of it releasing just didnt know when
modest atlas
true fern
So there’s a day 2, right?
raven igloo
Xbox go up for next 3 days, 3 hour streams. showing off different things and more interviews
"On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, join Team Xbox and friends for a series of streams taking a deeper dive into some of the highly-anticipated games at gamescom 2023, with gameplay, developer chats and community segments to give you a flavour of the show. "
think thats where Stalker 2 will be shown
obtuse rock
And xbox fan fest trivia tomorrow if you signed up
raven igloo
also Future Gameshow is tomorrow so much going on
true fern
So still hope for Transformers Reactivate
obtuse rock
The fan fest overlaps with it I think. Which is weird
raven igloo
yeah think it starts at like 7pm UK
viral spindle
Has it finished?
raven igloo
yeah ages ago like 9pm
viral spindle
Ah whoops. I wasn't aware of the time it was running.
raven igloo
yeah wasnt on too long like 2 hours, most the games we already knew they were just updates for things coming out over the next 12 months
viral spindle
Ah cool thanks. I'll try and catch up at some point tomorrow
viral spindle
Thanks. Unfortunately work gets in the way of a lot of that for me
autumn jackal
bill clinton 🫡
raven igloo
might give it a miss and just watch Future gameshow instead. or will catch day one with Phil Spencer interview
obtuse rock
The 3 hr xbox events are before fgs at least
raven igloo

raven igloo

Kinda sad with the Diablo 4 talk we didn't get D4 for Gamepass
raven igloo
its a celebration of games already released with some interviews and updates.. also Xbox dont own Activision/Blizzard yet so yeah wouldnt expect anything for GP from them for a long time
limber sparrow
I will say that I think my wife will absolutely love Little Kitty At Big City
Didn't know it'd be 2024 for the release though.
Hmm, looking at 33 Immortals it seems kinda neat, but IDK how deep it will feel with the whole "Drop in and Raid" thing. Seeing as how it's auto-matchmaking and Raiding is usually a compex thing.
The art style seems really cool though!
obtuse rock
This interview with Phil has been great
raven igloo
yeah
obtuse rock
Was this only 2 hrs today? I thought they were scheduled for 3. I guess because of fan fest
fading raft
Such a large booth this year though, wish could've seen it lol
obtuse rock
Right? They said it was 4 times the normal size
raven igloo
I havent been paying 100% just tons of things I have already seen, its an overload sometimes when its all the same games
obtuse rock
did anyone take part in the fanfest trivia?
glass pagoda
i was going too but missed it
tame lichen
Oh, new Hitman 3 DLC?
obtuse rock
Jusant is really something special
tame lichen
It reminds me of the boat game .... Submerged I think.
