Weekend Gamer: Gamer Unlock and StarCraft II

I recently signed up for Best Buy’s Gamers Unlocked membership, which costs $30 for two years. This is a similar program to GameStop’s Elite Pro Membership ($30 a year), only Best Buy’s program is more appealing thanks to its 20% off all new games (GameStop’s discount only applies to used games) and cheaper membership pricing.

Anyway, I actually went to Micro Center, hoping to pick up a used Samsung curved monitor, but the person working there couldn't locate it. So I wandered around and spotted another monitor in my price range: Acer's 32" ER Widescreen LED Monitor for $199. I was already quite happy with the cheap 27" Acer monitor from December 2014 (also for $199)... so getting the same brand made a lot of sense to me. According to the details, the new 32" monitor is faster at 4ms vs the old 27" monitor, which lists 6ms. For video gaming, you want a lower response time.

It's been really slow here, thanks to the holiday (Labor Day). With the extra-long weekend, I'm just catching up on some video games that I bought last month, but have not had a chance to play. Currently not enjoying The Elder Scrolls Online on the PS4. This game is just ugly, and not as good as their previous offline game Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. Personally, I think the ESO should be played offline, I don't see the benefit of it being online at all.
