GTA Online: Nightclubs

Been a long time since I played Grand Theft Auto Online or talked about it.  Just might have to get back into it.  Because there is a big new update coming this July (2018).  Not sure what they will be official calling but I am saying Nightclubs.  The update will have you buying clubs and running them.  From the Rockstar Games blog post > here, “get in on the ground level as a business partner to open up a brand new establishment, and help the DJ’s make their shows the best ever. Run your nightclub business from setup, design, staffing and promotion.”

It sounds pretty cool.  Am sure there will be a bunch of other stuff going along with it.  We will find out more pretty soon.  They all so put a small teaser trailer you can see > here or below.

Batman: White Knight

There is a new Batman graphic novel coming out this fall that has me very interested.  It is called Batman: White Knight. What makes this one standout it will be the first book released under DC’s comics new label called DC Black Label imprint.  This will let the writers and artists use the DC characters we all know in new ways out side the regular continuity.  The story of White Knight has Batman and the Joker switching rolls.  The Joker is cured and has become the hero of Gotham.  Which sends Batman over the deep end to become the villain.  Amazon.ca is it listed release date of October 9, 2018.  Will be putting this on my list to buy.

deadmau5 feat. Rob Swire – Ghosts N Stuff

That day of the week again, musical throwback Thursday.  The song this week is Ghosts ‘n’ Stuff by deadmau5 featuring Rob Swire.  Have not listened to this song in years.  Still think it sounds great.  At first I thought I couldn’t use it for the throwback because it was too new.  After looking it up.  The song was first released as a single in 2008.  Then on his album from 2009 For Lack of a Better Name.  You can give it a watch/listen > here or below.

Neewer Stabilizer

Back in April (2018) talked about camera stabilizers.  One I was looking at by Neewer, which I think is called Neewer Handheld Stabilizer.  Amazon.ca has them going for about $100.00.  Well I have a birthday coming up soon.  So decided to buy one for myself.   I like working on videos.  While I haven’t made one in a very long time.  Want to get back into it.  It is just hard to think of something to film by myself.  Have do interest of being in front of the camera.  Think with this stabilize doing nature videos.  Will be back with other posts when I get my hands on it.

Preacher Season 3

The third season of AMC’s Preacher started this past Sunday night (June 24, 2018).  Have been looking forward to seeing what happens in this crazy show.  The first two seasons were awesome.  So I know this one will be just as good if not better.  The season picks right up after the events in the second season.  Right way we got to meet some new characters.  Which all have a connection to Jesse’s childhood.  Think we are in a a crazy over the tp season.  Have read that there are only going to be ten episodes this time.  The second season had 13. Doesn’t matter too much because I am sure they well all be great.

The Crew 2 Open Beta Hands On

Now that the open beta for The Crew 2 is now live.  Running June 21 to 25 (2018) I gave it a try.  The beta was pre-loadable which I did about a week before.  So got to jump right in.  It starts off with some very badly acted cut scene.  The open tutorial/race has you starting off in a car then switches to a boat and then a plane.  Once that is done the map opens up and they give you a bunch of events and stuff to do.

The first thing I wanted to do was the off road stuff.  Was hoping to try some motorcycles out.  But at the start they are locked.  However you can test drive some of them.  Think they give you about a minute to play around in the test drive mode.  Only played about an hour so far.  Liked what I seen so far.  Will keep playing.  Still on the fence about buying this or not.

[Update] Before the beta ended put about three hours into it.  Didn’t get to try every thing out.  What I did play liked.  There is a lot too go.  Many reason to keep playing.  There is a staggering amount of vehicles to buy, customize and upgraded.  Still on the fence about buying.  Might wait for a price drop.

PlayStation Hits

Not sure why Sony didn’t announce this news at E3.  Ever since the first PlayStation was out.  Once a game had sold so many copies the would come out with a Greatest Hits version.  Well the PlayStation 4 has reached that point now.  This time around they are calling them PlayStation Hits.  According to their blog post > here.   Starting June 28, 2018 you will be able to get these games for $20.00.  This is an awesome deal.  There is bunch I want to get.  Will have to keep my eye out at the local stores.  Here is the list of games below.

• Battlefield 4
• Doom
• Driveclub
• Infamous: Second Son
• Killzone: Shadow Fall
• The Last of Us Remastered
• LittleBigPlanet 3

The Walking Dead: The Complete Eighth Season

It is all most summer so, The Walking Dead season eight will be coming to DVD/Blu-ray soon.  The past few years that years season would come out in August.  This year is no different.  Have read in two different places it will be out August 21, 2018.  Am a big fan of this show and the comic book it is based off of.  There seems to be a lot of negative talk about this season.  Think people had to much hype going into the Rick vs Negan storyline.   All so think it is still a the top of their game.  It jus that they need a fresh new take on things.   Not sure what season nine will bring.  Will be watching for sure.

Ubisoft Store

During E3 week the Ubisoft Store was running a up 80% sale.  They sale their games there but all so other things.  Like clothing and collectibles.  Many years ago bought a Watch Dog’s hat.   Well since then, they have updated the site a lot.   Talking about this because I found something cool that I had to buy.  If you been by this blog you will know I am a fan of Far Cry 5 and the Arcade mode.  Seen that they have a very awesome looking Far Cry 5 Arcade shirt.  You can see it > here.  It was was 50% off.  I don’t mind spending $20.00 on something like this.  Not sure when it will get here but guessing some time next week.

Boney M. – Rivers Of Babylon

Time again for musical throwback Thursday.  Growing up the only thing I knew about Boney M. was that we listened to their Christmas album every year.  It is still one of my favorites.  Then when I was a teenager remember hearing a song on the radio with a voice I knew but could not place.  Turned out it was them with their song Rivers of Babylon.  It is off their 1978 album Nightflight to Venus.  I think the song still sounds good.  You can give it a listen/watch > here or below.
