Game of a lifetime

I mean, I don’t know if I’d say PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is the best game ever. But it’s without doubt GOTY 2017. And would make my all-time Top 10, which is a huge compliment. I have clocked more time with it on Steam (389 hours) than all three Dark Souls games combined, and that’s in under seven months – completely unprecedented for me. I wish I had tracked stats for total hours played on Sensible Soccer, PES 1-5 and Super Mario Kart to compare.

We’ve got these two spiders out the front of the house who have this last week or two been consistently producing some of the most beautiful webbing I’ve ever seen. One of them, sadly, keeps attaching them to the roof of my car, meaning I’m wrecking her shit every morning. T’other one, though, has found a great spot near the wife’s less frequently used car. And check out the results! Never seen so much small bug carnage.

So, as an old guy, I obviously don’t really ‘get’ esports. I don’t understand MOBAs and I don’t relate to esports culture. I do get some of the games – PUBG, obviously, and a few others like Rocket League and Hearthstone. And I’m interested in the business and the ASTONISHING amount of money that’s pumped into it all. I’ve kindly been offered the chance to cover for Jake on esports Pro this week. I’m learning a lot and actually really enjoying it. It also feels nice to write a bit of news again. It really is my writing comfort zone.
