Things that made you excited today
(Also known as the Hype thread)
Sorry but I am far too excited right now to not create this thread. Please, use it to babble excitedly about whatever's got you hyped, feed the flames of other people's excitement, and perhaps have some actual, rational discussion about the things people bring up. Also, feel free to point out however many excitement threads I may have missed.
Oh and even if you find something quite the opposite of exciting, don't go shooting it down if someone else is really keen for it.
If you really need to state your lack of interest in a discussion, fine, just don't be mean.
Anyway, to kick things off, there is now not one but two things I am quietly buzzing away with excitement for.
First, in three days it is the 5th of May, and to celebrate some unlikely military victory in the 1800s one of my favourite chains of Mexican restaurants is having a pretty excellent special- $5 burritos and $5 coronas! I have been getting amped for this for quite some time; I have $30 set aside (for the trip into the city to the most convenient store as well as for burritos+beer) and plan on having a serious feast.
No doubt I'll be suffering afterwards due to my habit of asking for added habanero sauce, but on the day it's going to be the most insanely delicious thing ever.
Not sure how many burritos I can eat in one day, but I plan on finding out.
Next up, we have Battlefield 5. Now my friend+housemate and I both still regularly play BF4, despite its many, irritating faults, but I wasn't terribly excited for another entry in what has become a terribly bland, repetitive series and was never one of my favourites in the first place.
But, after another housemate mentioned that he heard the next game would be set back in WW2, I perked up a little. WW2 games have fallen out of fashion lately, which is sad since it's a far more interesting setting than modern/near future rubbish.
After a bit of Googling, however, I discovered a "report" that Battlefield 5 will be set in not the second but the First World War.
I nearly shat my pants with excitement at that moment. A World War One first-person shooter would be the height of fantastic amazeballs.
I can't recall ever playing a shooter set in WW1, despite always imagining how cool that would be. If this is true I will be over the moon!
Even if the devs fuck it up terribly with their AAA stupidity (as they doubtless will) the setting is unused enough that it'll be fascinating anyway.
And if they pull it off well, it will be amazing.
Anyway! That's enough gushing from me! I'm going to go back to daydreaming about burritos and hopefully reading what y'all are excited about, if this takes off.
GET HYPE!
