girlofpreyIt's the Game Awards tonight. Much too late for me to watch them and still be functional at work tomorrow. I'm torn between avoiding all the internet news tomorrow at work and trying to watch a stream when I get home, and just looking for the announcements tomorrow at work, so I can just see them and not other people's opinions about them. The new game announcements, I should say, are mostly what I'm interested in, and they're always fun to watch live - but I don't know that I'm going to sit through a whole 2-3 hour show after the fact just to watch them. But then again, trailers. Trailers are always more fun to watch than to hear someone else describe. So I don't know. I'll probably cave in and look things up at work tomorrow though, because I don't have the patience.
One thing that is coming, is more Far Cry 5. Apparently. I've been looking up Far Cry 5 stuff recently, since it's the end of the year and I've been thinking back on all the things I've enjoyed, and I found a couple of articles about how Joseph Seed's actor (who loves Joseph Seed) posted a couple of pictures with him in greenscreen and "I'm back #TheFather" a few months after the game was released. And then IMMEDIATELY DELETED THEM, probably at the request of the game company. Non-game actors do not really understand about keeping games a secret. Anyway, so that was "!!!!" enough. And now Ubisoft are teasing some new game that seems very much based in Hope County, the Far Cry 5 setting, after the end of the game. So. I don't know. To be fair, there are a couple of things this game could be that would horrify me, given that I felt Far Cry 5 was a closed story. But that's only my fannish heart jumping in various directions. I just hope Ubisoft aren't about to ruin a game I love, I guess. But we'll see what it is tonight.
Also they're very much teasing a Borderlands 3 reveal. I'm very ready to see Borderlands 3.
A thing that definitely won't be there: the Superman game that my crazy heart almost entirely convinced me was coming. Rocksteady, the studio supposedly making it, went on twitter to specifically say they weren't making a Superman game, because of all the rumours around it. Fuck you, Rocksteady. I just lost all interest in whatever you're making. I bet it's another Batman game.
Anyway - the Tumblr thing is wild. I don't know what to think of it. I went back on my own Tumblr to see if any of my posts had been hilariously flagged, but mostly I just found a lot of (unflagged) posts that I really loved. Like this friendly hyena. And this surprise, but not that surprising, participant in a tug-of-war. And this dog with a butterfly on it. And this post about microwaving food. Turns out I haven't really enjoyed Tumblr for fandom in a long time. I don't really want to delete my Tumblr and all of them. But I know the Tumblr owners don't really deserve my statistics. Also the porn bots that recently followed me are apparently still following me, what the hell Tumblr? But mostly I know it means I should go check all of the Tumblr posts I ever enjoyed with content I couldn't find anywhere else that somehow didn't get destroyed forever whenever someone got bored of their username. Because they might not be there now.
