Shadow of War looks brilliant 

Considering how fawesome Shadow of Modor was I can only imagine good things for this title.

To turn the topic a bit here, are there a lot of XBox owners on here? I wanted to ask what the exclusives are that they are looking forward to this year? So far, I don't see M$ doing anything that's truly exclusive out there but then again their strength has never been anything exclusive but their online play that I have ever thought is a console-must-buy. The reason I ask this is because Project Scoprio is not far away now and while that is the case nothing that M$ has put out in press-releases screams anything less than lack-lustre. On the flip-side you've got titles in Sony's hands for the start of the year and then some. Think they have a GOTY contender already in Horizon and that new Android-Human game, name eludes me and I don't want to Google it, that is coming out soon as well.

Always wanted him to end his career with us but when you look at all he has accomplished its no surprise to me at what he achieved. One of my favorite moments was when he hit the penalty in Istanbul and it got stopped but he didn't and got the ball in the back of the net. We never really replaced him imo.

Finished Nioh, started on Horizon Zero Dawn and will probably start the new Zelda next week. Can't say much about Nioh other than its terribly hard when it chooses to be and leaves you in the lurch having to farm which I didn't like and think it took away from some of the boss fights which should have technically been very hard but all that farming just levels you up and then it becomes a cakewalk. As for Horizon, the word gorgeous sums its up. The controls are fluid and although the game does suffer from some weird issues like Silent Strikes from over 10 feet away it does have a good feel to it.

I literally have far too much to say in the first post in this thread that I'd just be fielding questions about my job title alone.

I work in IT, middle management level as a Scrum Master. You're either thinking "What the fuck?" or "What bullshit role is that" either way, google is your friend ... I'll save you the effort however https://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/agile/scrum/roles/scrummaster

Who actually has a job they love? I like my job. I don't love it. Well. I love the money.

I have a lot of experience with Scrum Masters considering what I do is more development work and I work as an Informaiion/Enterprise Architect with some dabbling in the UXA side of the business. 

I'd say about 90% of the time I really love what I do. Code and solution intricacies are what keep me at my present workplace but the part I don't really care more much these days is the people management side of things which tbh isn't as black-and-white as the solutioining. Unfortunately when you get to do the kind of work I do then managing expectations doesn't just come with having deadlines but also holding people's hands which can be a bit challenging at times. Thankfully I have only ever once in my 11 yrs doing this job asked for someone to be taken off a team and I hope the trend continues.
