David: I hate winter

It's cold outside and there's too little sunlight.

Just thought you should know.

David: Dear Brandon,

I think comments are broken.

Warm Regards,

P.S. Build a lumber mill and upgrade your mine as soon as is possible.

David: Addendum on Destiny

I played it. It was as expected. A fairly tight shooter, but one where punching someone in the face does damage akin to a half dozen bullets to the chest. There's a lot of unnecessary loading (leaving the map only to select a new quest and go back to the same map). The MMO hooks will grab a lot of the CoD audience, but it's not for me.

I still don't own a PS4. There hasn't yet been a compelling reason for me to pick one up. I'm receiving conflicting reports on Destiny, but it sounds suspiciously like an FPS MMO which is, like, no thanks. Shadow of Mordor does look interesting. I've derisively referred to it as Assassin's Creed: The Hobbit based on footage I've seen. Same footage has shown it to be not great at anticipating player behavior though. Metal Gear, as always, will probably be the series that sells me a PlayStation. Not that I'm dying to play it or anything, but at this point it's kind of tradition.

The biggest game purchase I'm eyeing right now is Disney Infinity 2.0. The current bundle I'm considering stickers for about $170. I pity parents that have kids into both this and Skylanders. It's clever and cruel.

As for myself, it's plenty of WoW. I've been kicking around in the beta for the next expac for a few weeks, and tomorrow the pre-expac patch goes into effect. Time to get back over to the live game and hit some dungeons with my little warlock in preparation I guess.

David: Apple Watch

I don't know what I expected, but I'm not blown away by what was shown.

The main problem I have with the wearables market is the planned obsolescence of a fashion accessory. I don't have to worry about the movement of the watch that's currently on my wrist not being able to keep up with time in the future or the lenses in my sunglasses not being compatible with 2016's sun. Of course, they don't talk to my phone, show me text messages, or offer wireless payment solutions.

What I want is a standardized gold outer case that they will design future internal upgrades around.

Oh shit, that's funny. I just realized I'm taking the PC side of the PC vs Mac argument over a watch.
