FAR CRY 5 , A Good Day for Eddie

-

A good day for Eddie is any day that involves games, more specifically Xbox One games which he plays extensively. Our goal? to get him involved with us and share his gaming world
So today,  we offered to buy a game, for him, that he would "review" for our BLOG and also he would have to teach us how to play.  At first, we are told by Eddie, that IGN, formerly Imagine Games Network, already does that, and why would anyone come to our blog to read about Video GAMES?(OK, he has a point) but we told him that if HE gave his opinion maybe they would. He immediately mentioned. Far Cry 5 and after investigation (Google search) We find they rated the game 8.9 out of 10 and it is "Secretly the Funniest Game in Years" (sound's good).
Excitedly though, after his initial resistance to include us, his desire for the game overcame his desire to exclude us and he agreed.  We ventured immediately out of the house, which is rare for a gamer, and headed to, the best place in the world, GameStop. This offer actually led a 15 y/o boy to hurriedly, get dressed and leave his room early on a Saturday to "help" us out.  (Mission Accomplished)
released on March 27th, FAR CRY 5.  I am told by Eddie is a really good game that costs $60.00 and he would like to have it very much.

Of course, as the good parent handbook requires, we must screen the game for appropriateness.   According to Eddie,  the game is a first person game set in "America this time". (We have no idea where the game was set last time) but this time it is in a place called, Hope County, Montana. further he explains, the game is the first to have an airplane, is about a DOOMSDAY CULT and is really good.  He can't tell us anymore than this because he hasn't played the game.  I guess we can accept that.
 
Upon further exploration, (Google search) WikipediA  defines the game a little better, (they must have played it).  In the game, the player is a good guy rookie sheriff's deputy referred to as "The Deputy".  He is part of a joint task force comprised of the Sheriff's office and the the United States Marshall's sent to arrest the leader of said DOOMSDAY CULT (that's the aforementioned DOOMSDAY CULT).

Joseph Seed, the leader of the cult, is the bad guy who believes he has been chosen, by GOD, to protect the people of Hope County from destruction.

He begins to fulfill his mission by forming "the Congregation at Eden's Gate", a militaristic DOOMSDAY CULT that uses "coercion and violence to forcible convert the residents of Hope County and intimidation to keep them from contacting the outside world for help"(ccncerning).

As any good Christian can clearly see, the box shows an illustration of a man with a Mohawk, presumably Joseph Seed, in JESUS CHRIST'S seat at the Last Supper.  Included, where the disciples sit, is a cast of equally "SEEDY" individuals. This may be cause for more concern for some ....

BUT:

Overall, According to the information we have available at this time, and there is a lot (even though we haven't played the game) and that the game has been accused of having an "unquestionably relevant,  religiously and politically volatile setting", it seems they do nothing with it other than some "hammy" jabs, it comes to nothing (per GameSpot's review).  The game is "Superb"
with:

  • Beautiful, interesting, and dynamic open world ripe for experimentation 
  • Organic discovery mechanics that make exploration exciting
  • Specialists and Guns for Hire that are an entertaining addition 
  • Precise gun play that feels great (we don't know how great that is)
  • The Far Cry Arcade hold potential for an array of interesting content 
It is $59.99, but in order to really unlock the future developments and up dates it requires another $29.00 for a "Season's Pass" and $3.00 to protect your game for one year against scratches and other mishaps. Of course, we need another controller to play which was not included in the Xbox One and that is another 29.99 for the cheapest "wired" controller.

A couple hours later Eddie is ready for his "review" and it is as follows:

 It's action packed, It keeps you on your heels, Beautiful, textures are great, more than one (if it didn't have different textures it wouldn't be a game) It's the first time in the series you can fly a airplane,  and it is really fun.  He just got the dog "Boomer " and the dog is like a German Shepherd that is grey and skinny and it looks like it has been abused.  He states "his genius ends here" .

So we really want to try it out and can't wait to fulfill the next requirement of our deal actual inclusion .  I don't know if it is worth

Opening Day 2018 by Ted Robedee,

A blog?? What’s a blog? Up until a couple of days ago, I’ve never read a  blog, much less know what one is.  So here I go for better or worse. I’ll start off with, I’m a huge baseball  fan, hockey fan, and football fan. I must admit, with the number of  criminals, unsavory characters, domestic violence and disrespecting the  flag of our great nation, my football fandom is on the decline.  Today is opening day for baseball. I’m a die-hard Yankees fan, have  been since I saw my first game at Yankee Stadium. I’ll never forget it. It  was a double header, remember those? Pay for 1 ticket see 2 games? I  was sitting down the third base line. It was the second game, and some  guy named Mickey Mantle came to the plate. When I heard Bob  Shepherd announce his name, a chill ran through me. Mickey didn’t let  me down, he lined a ball down the third base line, deep into the corner.  I’m standing, cheering...

Yankees, Red Sox, Fitness and Fashion

Good morning, it’s a Monday, how are we feeling? I personally am feeling pretty excited, about a few different things going on in our lives. Baseball is a very important part of my life. I can admit I’m addicted. I have that type personality, but this addiction is the least hurtful of all of my addictions. Some, my family, for instance, may beg to differ. Folks I DVR every single Yankees game. By hook or by crook I watch every one of them. I DVR for 2 reasons, I want to keep my family. By that I mean if I were to watch the games every day/night when they are scheduled, I’d never spend time with the family. Secondly, I fast forward through the commercials. YES! The last time I wrote was May 2 nd . The Red Sox were in first place with a record of 22-8. The Yankees, MY Yankees, had a record of 22-10 putting them 2 games behind the Sawx. Since that time the Yankees are 8-2, the Sawx, 6-4, including losing 2 out of 3 to the Yanks. Let’s do the math, ahh yes both teams share a rec...
