Out of the Blue

I've been working on not being too hyped for DOOM: The Dark Ages, since I'm already greatly looking forward to it. But the new trailer and reviews today are not helping with this resolve. I have to admit to myself I might as well preorder it even though I'm on record about this not generally being the best idea. It's hard to make the case for not doing so, since there's zero chance I won't buy it. Okay, I guess I have not actually succeed in avoiding hyping myself.

Fucking cats. My house apparently came with a free full-grown cat, I keep putting him outside, but he keeps coming back. The little fucker can open the door too... let's himself right back in. I got three feral pitbulls, problem solved.. but nooooo, they all scared of this little murder machine. damn thing has been living here 16 years already... he won't die.

Dude, you would have better luck moving a hibernating grizzly than a cat that has been in the same place for 16 years. Even your dogs know that.

Find a little old lady who needs a furry friend. They're a dime a dozen. 😁

Yeah, I stopped doing that a LONG time ago. Hell, I waited a year because I didn't want to buy Satisfactory on EGS. Finally gave in when their exclusive didn't end 1 year after release. It finally did end a couple of months later.

The review does not tell you how it will run on your machine. It also wouldn't be the first time that commercial reviews did a poor job reflecting a game's quality if that was the case here. I would recommend that you don't pre-order it - I had the exact same mindset when I pre-ordered 3 copies of Cyberpunk 2077 for me and my kids. That was the last time I pre-order anything ever again. I won't even buy anything day 1 usually - I try to wait at least a month most of the time (unless I am just a huge fan girl of a property). But that might be a bridge too far...

Ain't that the truth. If they can give free keys to smooth-brain YouTube streamers for making ludicrous facial expressions on the thumbnails and typing in ALL CAPS ON THEIR VIDEO TITLES, they can give a key to someone who has been running a website supporting it for decades...

Got my copy for free. My friend bought a 5080 and didnt want the game. so he gave me his cd key.

Blues if you do buy it , go to cdkeys.com you can get a copy for 58 dollar's there. Trustworthy site. I usually buy all my games from them way cheaper.

Just tell them your a streamer and you'll get a key for free, Blue. Sad but true.

If you're really a huge fan, buy it. The reviews are looking good and it seems to be a return to greatness after the IMO not so good Doom Eternal.
