    Told myself I wouldn't get it, but like every other COD game that comes out... I get talked into getting it by my friends. Doesn't matter because it was a blast!

    The gunplay is spectacular and just feels incredibly satisfying to get even a single hit. Character abilities in mp were well executed and didn't add too much cheese to the game, and kill streaks feel nostalgic.

    At this point, I really don't expect to be impressed by graphics, but damn does this game look good!

    Also the BR mode is spot on. I've played a fair amount of PUBG, and enjoy the concept of BR games though. Not a big fan of Fortnite though, but that's because for me, the gunplay is what makes it fun and also the builders in that game are godlike bullshit. BO4's gunplay translates very well into BR. Finding Perks as consumable items was a great call.

    Is it worth $60 though? Ehhhhhhhh idk.... If you're strapped for one game this month, then I'd wait to see how Red Dead does before buying in.

    I just finished watching this amazing lecture discussing Quantum Physics and how it might be different than we originally thought. I feel like it does a great job of demystifying some of the principles that have been overcomplicated by Quantum Mechanics. He even mentions that physicists believe we could describe Quantum Physics using simple axioms vs the mathematics we currently use today.

    Yeah I know, its 's truly Samsung's keyboard, but I've tried Swiftkey as well which has the same problem of 'learning' my typos and then autocorrecting properly spelled words to said typo >.<...

    Yeah I know, its 's truly Samsung's keyboard, but I've tried Swiftkey as well which has the same problem of 'learning' my typos and then autocorrecting properly spelled words to said typo >.<

    Or... like the one time I corrected 'to' so I could say 'yo'... and now it wants to autocorrect to 'yo' every time

    I also preferred how in iOS if you backspaced a word that got autocorrected, it wouldn't autocorrect again.

    At the end of the day, I'm sticking to Android simply because it's more of a computer and is one of the most powerful tools I carry as a sysadmin. I'm just not gonna pretend like Android is perfect (I already know people are gonna say TouchWiz is my problem and to use base Android like if I hadn't already tried).

    Coheed and Cambria just released their new album that revisits the Amory Wars concept. It's speculated to take place some time after the events of No World for Tomorrow which until now has been thought to be the end of the story after Claudio succeeds in destroying the galaxy. The album starts off with The Dark Sentencer, and it's 8 minutes of fucking awesome.

    I've recently switched to an Android from having an iPhone for 4 years (Android before that). iMessage is one of my most missed features. Also Android's autocorrect is goddamn fuckin bullshit
