The
Steam Game and Player
Statistics page reflects a new record for concurrent
Steam users for a
third consecutive week (thanks
GameSpot). Re-setting the record will obviously become less newsworthy if it
continues to happen so frequently, and some have already argued that it has
already reached that point, but it seems worth noting if for nothing more than
the huge leaps this high-water mark keeps taking.
Two weeks ago the new record was set at
10,761,566;
last week it reached
11,625,415; and as of now it is 12,921,574, so the record has jumped by more
than two million in just a couple of weeks.
A new
"Seize Glory"
trailer is a live-action trailer from
Call of Duty: Black Ops III as
Activision turns up the heat in promoting the upcoming release of the shooter
sequel. Here's word on the trailer, release plans, and beastmode: "The official
Call of Duty: Black Ops III live action trailer, directed by Wayne McClammy and
featuring Michael B. Jordan, Cara Delevingne, and Marshawn Lynch, follows Kevin
as he wall-runs, thrust jumps, and power slides through enemies and zombies on
his way to glory. No matter who you are, there's a solider in all of us. Call of
Duty: Black Ops III arrives globally on November 6th, 2015."

The Mets game aside, we had a lovely Halloween in the BlueTower, the kids were
all nice, they all enjoyed their candy, and they got their usual kick out of the
dressed up doggie. As promised,
here are a
few photos of the Gunnar-man in costume, which made him the Gunnar-mon for
the occasion (the back of his top read "Woof-Mon"). The shots aren't ideally
lit, and they could be closer, but they offer a good sense of his eager scanning
around for trick-or-treaters. Hope you had a good time as well, and that you
woke up today to a no additional shaving cream or egg-based decorations.
