Glad you enjoyed it! I haven't seen it yet, but I do remember being surprised at how much attention and success the movie garnered. After that initial controversy, I expected it to flop, and now it looks like it might herald a new wave of video game movies.  I'm happy to see Jim Carrey again, it feels like he wasn't in any big movie for quite some time, or maybe I just wasn't paying attention... I think his last movie that I saw was... "Yes man" or something like that, with Zoey Deschanel. It was a lovely little movie.

Golden Fool said: First off I'm looking forward to being able to see my Clients without having to wear a face mask and gloves; not having my glasses fog up will be an added benefit of this. It'll also mean I can drive them places while also being able to see and I wont have to wash my hands before getting into my car after a shift for fear of leaving white handprints everywhere. Admittedly not much has changed for me with the quarantine as I'm an essential service and even before it I would spend most of my time at home anyway outside of the time I spend in my Client's homes.  Much like Paws and Teekus I'm looking forward to Greymoor. At this point it's because I've got a character idea that I'm holding off on because I want to do the new tutorial; on a side not we should be able to do the tutorial quests on existing characters, and a couple of other characters who need either the chapter or update for their stories to continue.   My father complains about his glasses getting foggy too. It must be annoying, I once went to an Airsoft match without the proper gear and had to buy one of those big, cheap plastic glasses to protect my eyes, and since I was also wearing a mask over my mouth, my sight was constantly impaired. Suffice to say that I ended up losing the game(s), but I'm not sure if that was just because of my sight. But yeah, while I can't complain about glasses, wearing a mask alone is annoying. Hard to breath, harder to talk.    A-Pocky-Hah! said: Well Eid al-Fitr is just around the corner, which means pocket money from relatives, which means more games to buy. Of course with the Coronavirus, it'll be a weird Eid. It's going to be like Christmas except fewer relatives visiting and no inter-state/county travel... which means less pocket money. Gaming-wise, I'll be looking forward to Greymoor like the rest. I'm more interested on the new lore rather than the main plot. Hope the side-quests will also be just as interesting. Can't wait to interact with the characters featured in the Meet the Character articles. Also... Rigurt better be there. It ain't gonna be a Skyrim-centric expansion without our favorite Nord cultural ambassador.   Had to look up what Eid al-Fitr is! Hope  you enjoy it and have a good time! Glad to hear you'll be able to get some more games soon. I'm saving some money to buy a new GPU so I can finally play Red Dead Redemption 2 and the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, but I might have to buy a new phone before that, sadly, as my current one is faulty. I hate having to buy phones.

Paws said: It's been a weird time for a lot of people but my routine has stayed pretty much the same except for an increase in difficulty and workload. I guess it's led to a greater disconnect with reality than usual, and very apparent that I struggle to keep up with things. With so many people with so much more time on their hands versus me with so much less time than normal, I'm finding I'm really having difficulty keeping my head above water, and days pass so swiftly that I lose track of so much. Thankfully, I'm on holiday now and taking a long old break from work so I can enjoy that which the rest of the country loathes so much - peace and quiet :D It's funny, I've been looking forward to this break for months, but now it's here I've just slept through the first couple of days of it and am now starting to actually think about what to do with my time and what to look forward to next. I guess I'm excited for ESO Greymoor, although that's a very tempered excitement compared to what it was earlier in the year. I'm looking forward to the Swordthane outfit style, new Nord lore and exploring Western Skyrim, but I fear the whole vampire and Dark Heart storyline is so not my cup of tea that it'll be like Skyrim's Dawnguard dlc all over again and leave me feeling a bit "meh". I can't lie, the new main theme just doesn't do it for me: But we'll see! Hopefully I'll surprise myself and get totally sucked in.  Sleeping is always welcome, especially during breaks. It's always impressive how my eyes look just before taking a longer break and how they look after said long break. You sometimes don't really notice time passing by, especially when you're keeping yourself busy, but to me, the eyes always give it away and sometimes scream in the mirror that it's time to try and get a few more hours of sleep.  Yeah, I really didn't feel that soundtrack either. As for vampires, I think it was... too soon to make an expansion centered on them, exactly because we already had Dawnguard. So not only coming back to Skyrim (which is always great for the lore, even though I don't play ESO), but coming back to a Skyrim with vampires may understandably feel a bit too familiar  

Teekus said: I too think it's quiet in here, as you say not many want to have casual conversations anymore. Personally, I'm looking forward to the end of this damn coronavirus thing. We have only just been allowed to leave our homes for non essential travel and are allowed to travel further for recreation and other activities than we could 2 weeks ago. We are also being encouraged to return to work but I'm still on furlough as the company I work for has no work for me as my job relies on sporting events with large crowds.  I've kind of got used to being at home and have mixed feelings about returning to work. I've not seen any family or friends since 23rd of March so I'm definitley looking forward to seeing them. I'm meeting up with my dad tomorrow but I'm not allowed to go within 2 metres of him but at least we will be able have a chat. Otherwise if I'm not going back to work till maybe October I don't have much to do other than play some more games. I'm an electronics hobbyist and I have spent the last couple of months finishing some projects I had been meaning to finish for a while. Games wise I'm looking forward to the ESO Greymoor chapter and I still need to get round to playing red dead redemption 2. I'm not sure what will happen over the next few months so I will have to wait and see. But I will be glad to get back to a normal routine.   Yeah, it's pretty tough the whole social distancing thing, but I'm glad you'll be able to see your dad tomorrow. Playing games and completing projects is a great way to spend this time, I've been playing some Mortal Kombat 11 myself, and will be playing a lot of Total War Warhammer 2 for the next few days after tomorrow, but I'm also tempted to get back to either Skyrim or Fallout again now that I have some more time. I miss open world games! Haven't done much in the way of personal projects though, since I'm still working almost full-time. Greymoor definitely looks interesting, though I haven't gotten into ESO as I fear I either won't like it or will be completely consumed by it. I guess a halfway/compromise could be to just read about the story/lore, as I remember some people saying the new lore is good.

Hey all! In these unusual times, it's good to connect with people and discuss what we are actually looking forward to in the future. A book, a game, show, movie, the end of quarantine and what you'll be doing then: travelling, going to a movie theater, gym, visiting an older relative... Anything that makes you smile when you stop to think about how good or how much you want it. Positive thoughts! And since we used to have regular forum discussions on the site back then where we could interact with each other outside of Discord, and have deeper conversations where we could sit on a reply for a while, I'm trying to restart that tradition. We could use more activity here.    So, I'll start. In a loose chronological order:   Tomorrow marks the release of the Total Waaagh! update for Total War Warhammer 2, alongside The Warden and the Paunch DLC. I've been anticipating a rework for the Greenskins (orcs and goblins of Warhammer) for years, and held off starting a campaign as them because I knew it was coming, eventually. To see it finally arrive is exciting, I've spent many quality hours playing Total War over the years, and one of my favorite playthroughs back in Warhammer 1 was with Skarsnik the Night Goblin. I'll be going back to Warhammer 2 with Grom, but Eltharion (elf batman) and the free DLC Imrik look just as promising. Here's a trailer:   While I haven't purchased the next thing I'm looking forward to (the price is quite salty to me), next week Mortal Kombat 11 will receive its first story expansion ever in the history of Mortal Kombat, Aftermath! Aftermath will also bring Fujin, a character I've been looking forward to years. I used to play him back in Mortal Kombat 4, and since then I didn't have a chance to play as the wind god again, with him being missing from MK9 and MKX.  I'm also looking forward to having a different set of protagonists, all of whom are characters I love: Fujin, Nightwolf and the ultimate Shang Tsung portrayed by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. Sindel, who unexpectedly became my most played fighter in MK11 will also feature (she took a spot that for years belonged to Johnny Cage, and surpassed others that would regularly feature in my second place like Nightwolf and Liu Kang). On a less gory and violent note, here's the lovely "Friendships" trailer for MK11. Friendships are coming in a free update with Aftermath:  I'm also kind of looking forward to the end of quarantine. I'm in a position where I can and have enjoyed being at home (since I can work from home), closer to most of my family members, and most importantly, back in my hometown, away from the hectic lifestyle of the big city. However, a part of me misses normal life (though it doesn't miss the big city!)  But still, I look forward to going to the gym again, going to work (since working from home isn't the same and I feel less productive), talking with people and friends directly and not through a microphone on my computer... on a brighter note, we're not forbiden to leave our homes, so things like hiking in the nature is possible, and there's a beautiful park near me, though one of its main attractions, a series of waterfalls where you can walk over it or swim under one of them, isn't really a good idea right now, since it's cold in Brazil this time of year!   I've been waiting for The Winds of Winter by George R. R. Martin too. But I've been waiting for that since I finished A Dance with Dragons years ago, so that's a constant in my life... So, what are you looking forward to right now?
