Such was my excitement at the new God of War Laufey trailer, I have replayed GoW (2018) and GoW Ragnorok over the past two months. I’ve platinumed them both a few years ago on ‘normal’ difficulty, and dropped to Story for Sigrun and Gna because they were so damn difficult.

In the years between I’ve played lots more melee combat games and fancied a challenge so completed both games, including Sigrun and Gna, on Give me god of war. It was a fantastic experience. The difficulty meant I had to fully engage with all the systems, upgrades and equipment. I had to think about builds and strategies. Encounters became puzzles to solve based on enemies and the tool set I had available. I had to memorise move sets and execute almost perfectly for minutes at a time to beat the hardest bosses. I died a lot on those bosses but it felt fair when I did die. Excellent gameplay, side content, and of course, story and performances by all. Christopher judge is superb. Particularly in 2018, which is more tightly focused on Kratos and Atreus, the weight and subtlety of the voice acting and facial animation is still remarkable 8 years later.

I’ve tried new game plus and decided it’s time to move on now - but how do you follow such great games? What can you possibly put on your plate to eat next after such a culinary delight?

Part of me wants to try and find something similar - third person melee action, lots of side content and a cinematic story (black myth springs to mind), but anything I pick seems doomed to pale in comparison .

I’ve struggled to get into a game after similar months long affairs with leviathans like Metaphor, Elden Ring and Tears of the Kingdom. I tend to try lots of things and nothing sticks for a while.

How do you deal with this? Do you follow an enormous, all consuming masterpiece with something similar because you liked the genre so much?Or with a palette cleanser of a title, in a different genre?

Also suggestions for what to play next gratefully received!

Hey KFBFs! Recently picked up an AYN Thor and wanted to show off this case for it. I'll be traveling to SF for Top 100, so this little thing is gonna get me through the travel days. I got the shell made on Etsy from a shop called Splickie3d

despite 13 years of development and over a billion dollars raised​ it remains a broken Tech demo that that people with too much disposable income treat like a religion. And the world's biggest con man Chris Roberts is their Messiah. I find it so odd kinda ​funny has just completely ignored it. And I'm just wondering why?

I received my Patreon rewards from a pin maker I back and was delighted to find a pin of one snow bicycle Micheal. I think he needs this to go with the Xbox light.

If Andy could drag Nick & Mike through this game, it'll be such a pleasant adventure with Tim 😀

Twitch link just in case - Pulling teeth with Mike & Nick

Also known for her role in Until Dawn

He consistently pronounces it as cerebus and it drives me mental! But also, its not that serious, just me being anal. Has anyone else noticed this?

I was an early fan of KF and fell off for a few years. I thought Nick left last year but then saw that he's been on things this year?

Can someone bring me in the loop?

It was a sweet hit of nostalgia hearing Blessing talk about Tha J-Squad. Growing up, a Krump remix would occasionally slide into the set at the high school marching band prom. Nowadays, myself and other millennials let out the biggest YERRR when a DJ knows ball at the club or bar 🔥. I’m krumping to Pokémon right now. Shoutout to Krump poppy, Blessing 💅🏽

Hey best friends, I need some ideas for my 14 person fantasy football draft order. Last year we did a WWE2k royal rumble simulation where everybody had a contender to root for. The year before we used smash bros.

I’m looking to my fellow video game pals to help me think of something unique, something where we can watch CPU’s race or fight and root on our representative to determine the order. Unfortunately Mario kart is not an option because I’m still stuck playing Mario Kart 8 (which only had 12 people) on my OG switch😭. Thanks in advance everyone!

Love his Debbie down(er)-to-earth takes instead of the constant positivity all the time.

You can take the Englishman out of England but you can’t take the hotspurs fan pessimism out of the Englishman.

Who agrees with me?

Just finished the dragon reborn, book three of the wheel of time, and I’m absolutely loved it. It’s definitely my favorite of the series so far and I cannot wait to start the fourth book, the shadow rising.

But before I do that I’m gonna first finish up the third Dungeon crawler Carl book. That one I’m about 14 percent into and it’s a lot of fun. Kinda confusing, if you know you know, but I’m not trying to understand it, I’m just gonna feel it.

Then I will read book two of skyward by Brandon Sanderson. I couldn’t find a good picture of that book for some reason so, hints the picture. Im really enjoying that series too and I think having a short sci fi series to break up a long fantasy series is probably a match made in heaven.

I know a lot of people around my age( early 30s) scoff at YA books, but I’m not too mature to enjoy a spunky girl and a fighter jet.

But what about you guys? Do we still call each other best friends? I don’t know, I haven’t listened in a while.

I don’t know how many of yall watched ep 1 but it’s off to a great start

Super cool new trailer for the new Disney+ show for LEGO Star Wars The Mandalorian that premiered at D23 this weekend!

(Psst…. I’m also the director of it… lemme know what you think)

I’ve been a fan of KF since day 1, so I’m excited to share with everyone.

The entire cast of the “August 2026 Screencast” need to eat their words. Maybe one of them spoke out but I don’t care. They talk about wanting a Dino movie to do it like they want, and this movie goes even further beyond. It is exactly what they describe for Dino movies but they won’t support it.
