The housemates are sitting and talking. New human discoveries are made.

It’s nearly summer so that means only a few things, Big Brother is starting again soon and the Dota 2 International Qualifiers have commenced.

The Elder Scrolls Online Review (PC) [Closed Beta]

John Cleese as seen better days and roles.
John Cleese as seen better days and roles.

I have heard the Elder Scrolls Online is not very good and I am not really expecting much from it seeing as I am basically over MMORPGs at this point. I am a fan of the Elder Scrolls games but from what I have seen they should have just added co-op to Elder Scrolls: Oblivion or Elder Scrolls: Skyrim and more people would probably enjoy it. My overall view of the game is mixed but this is My Scrambled Thoughts on The Elder Scrolls Online.

Video game publishers Sega and developers Relic Entertainment have released a new patch for Company of Heroes 2.

This all means early combat will be more focused on infantry, light vehicles and tactics. The patch also adds two new maps (Stalingrad and Angermuende) from the community and there is a new video which shows the new patch changes in action.

WildStar Review (PC) [Closed Beta]

If the whole game only had this race (Chua) then maybe it would be good.
If the whole game only had this race (Chua) then maybe it would be good.

I played the Elder Scrolls Online Beta last week and initially though it would be bad then I tried the game more and realising it was ok but after spending more time with the game I realised the game was pretty average. Now I am playing WildStar and The Elder Scrolls Online seems like it positively modern in comparison. I will go over what I think of the Elder Scrolls Online soon but what do I think of WildStar (Beta)? The following is My Scrambled Thoughts on WildStar.
