Source of the post How is pitching done? I found the throbbing target area so disorienting that I could only pitch for like an inning or two before my head would hurt.
The pitching is still a throbbing target thing. I don't find it irritating yet.

Won my first exhibition game (only 3 innings). Pirates vs. Braves. Gerrit Cole hit a two run home run. Braves shifted heavily for ElToro to pull, which was a nice bit of detail. He hammered a home run to center to counter that shift. And he committed an error at first, so it is very realistic. :lol:

Hopefully with the long weekend I'll have more time to play. It will be a long time before I go up on the Internetz for opponents though.

The crowd is very detailed, even with several different types of Pirates hats on, like the 70s yellow stripe barrel hat. It's one thing to have the players have a variety of hats and uniforms, but to include it in the scenery? Very nice.

The Exchange downtown just raised the prices of the cheap $1 N64 games. BOOOOOO. Now I have to stop at McKnight to see if I can get them before they are jacked up.

When do they usually update the PS+ free games for the month? I checked the store last night on PS4 and they seemed to still have the previous month's offerings.

Used to be on every Tuesday. I think now it's every other Tuesday, but they say they now give at least 1 big game. Sale discounts for PS+ are every week and are definitely worth looking at.

Doesn't really matter. The kind of thing that you can play for 5 minutes in a waiting room and doesn't actually take $$$$ to move on to the next level.

Five Nights at Freddys, Fruit Ninja, etc?

Five Nights is legit one of the scariest games I've ever played, and it embarrasses me to say that considering it's on my damned phone.

lol I guess scary was the wrong word. Paranoid? Jumpy?

Amnesia was the scariest game I've ever played. I have two hours of play time so far, which consists of about a dozen separate 10 minute or so sessions where I quickly noped my way back to desktop.

Alien: Isolation

Lost track of the number of times I was hiding from the xeno or an android and one of the stupid dogs barked or the cat jumped on my lap or whatever and precipitated a quasi-coronary. I wish they had a DLC that would simply allow you to roam the world without any baddies hunting you, the design work was so good.

Resident Evil 1 still never forget going through that in 96' when the internet was still a baby and had no help and expecting the unexpected

One of the best individual scares I've ever had in a game....... in compilation form.

The NHL series makes no sense sometimes.

Outshoot my opponent 36-12. Lose 6-5. Their shots weren't even quality chances.

Really have no idea why this happens.

I have the same problem in NHL '14. Play really well (outshoot by a wide margin), then the goalie constantly lets in slap shots from the corners.

Yeah its one reason i stopped playing nhl games. One of many. I always thought it was funny that i would focus on defense and give up like 12 shots through two periods, be down 3-1, then go all offense in the third and likely have the game end 5-4 or something.

I played Forza 5 on the XBox today. I admit, I had fun. Car drove really well. I came in 15th out of 16, but hey, first time. :P
