There’s never a dull moment in the world of Fallout 76, the online multiplayer game of post-apocalyptic survival and adventuring. Last week, publisher Bethesda announced that the game’s much-requested addition of computer-controlled characters was delayed until next year. Today, the publisher said that it will be selling premium subscriptions that will provide players with access to private servers at a cost of about $20 a month or $150 a year.
This console generation, sales for the Xbox One are estimated to be around 47 million units behind sales for the PlayStation 4. That’s a huge gap that Microsoft isn’t likely to close before we learn more about the next generation of consoles next year, but it isn’t because the Xbox One failed to innovate, or come up with a series of great, pro-consumer programs. It seems like Sony has focused on big, blockbuster first-party games like God of War, Spider-Man, and Uncharted 4, while Microsoft has focused on accessibility and value-related initiatives. PlayStation’s exclusives have been pretty incredible and I’m glad we have them, but I think they’ve lead a lot of gamers to undervalue the competition. So, here are some of the most underrated moves Microsoft made this console generation.

Been listening to 'Rize of the Fenix' and 'Born Villain' this week. Enjoying the new Tenacious D album, there are a few pretty good tracks on there. Manson's new album is slowly growing on me... I think I need a few more listens.
Steel Panther is always on in the car, their setlist from this years Soundwave.
Rize of the Fenix - Tenacious D - I've been listening to this also and there are some great songs on there (To Be The Best, has to be the greatest Montage song ever now!!!!), though I wish there were a few more songs on the album
Other albums playing at the moment...
Neck Of The Woods - Silversun Pickups
Nightflight - Kate Miller-Heidke
and awaiting for the new Garbage album to drop, the 2 released singles are awesome!
The new shackelton boxset, got it in the mail with a whole lot of other new records last night but I don't think I will get around to spinning those for a while. This is too good! Sorry about the terrible cellphone pic

Why do games and music have to be a separate subject? Listening right now to some NESkimos and Metroid Metal.

I decided a couple of weeks ago that I was neglecting swathes of my music collection so I put my iPod (about 11500 songs) onto random with a mission not to skip anything. Currently up to song 1582. The last three have been:
Homesick - The Cure
Elevator Up - Fountains of Wayne
The Last Polka - Ben Folds Five
Earlier today it coughed up three songs in a row from the Alan Wake soundtrack. I thought it had been possessed.
This morning on the train - Faith No More: King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime. The whole album!
I listen to most things, old and new, but mostly old as I am also slightly old.
The latest from Epica and Eluvietie have been keeping me going since their releases. They are both brilliant albums.
Also Therion's Sitra Ahra.
The song I'm listening to right now though, is Sabaton's Attero Dominatus.
Man am i the only one not listening to soundtracks? :P
Lots of Devin Townsend - particularly the Addicted album, along with Faith no More and Dragonforce just yesterday.
anything with non rap lyrics.
