Heavy on the soul

My childhood

Definitely still kinda broken, and needs some TLC from the devs but how it stands it is still really really fun. 100% encapsulates the COD Zombies experience at half the price. Fun game play and even better with friends.

Black Ops III zombies is still the best experience from any Call of Duty zombies ever created. I still don't believe in paying full price for COD games however this is the one to get if you want a great zombies experience!

The only good bug is a dead bug

Scary, Funny, and all around intense. This game is absolutely worth it, though I recommend having some friends to play it with.

Extremely broken ass game that crashes constantly. Even with updated drivers and every other "fix" they recommend the player to do the game will crash. Also errors out the ass such as the concord error that will not allow you to even access the game, or error X#41 which just won't let you be in a lobby with friends. Ranked will penalize you for crashing. IF this game didn't have these issues it would be worth playing, overall great mechanics and actual gameplay, though you very well may never get to see the actual good parts of the game. No $70 game should be this broken and borderline unplayable. Activision yet again pumping out broken products. Do not buy

Old Fashioned Pumpkin Pie

2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 cups pumpkin purée from a sugar pumpkin (see Recipe Note) OR 1 (15-ounce can) pumpkin purée (can also use puréed cooked butternut squash)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream or 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
1 homemade pie crust, chilled or frozen (see pâte brisée recipe or our no-fail flaky pie crust recipe), or 2 pre-made pie shells

Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Make the filling:
Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Mix in the brown sugar, white sugar, salt, spices — cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, ground cloves, cardamom, and lemon zest.
Mix in the pumpkin purée. Stir in the cream. Beat together until everything is well mixed.

Fill the pie shell and bake:
Pour the filling into an uncooked chilled or frozen pie shell. Bake at a high temperature of 425°F for 15 minutes.
Then after 15 minutes, lower the temperature to 350°F. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes more. The pie is done when a knife tip inserted in the center comes out wet but relatively clean. The center should be just barely jiggly.
(About half-way through the baking, you may want to put foil around the edges or use a pie protector to keep the crust from getting too browned.)
Note that the pumpkin pie will come out of the oven all puffed up (from the leavening of the eggs), and will deflate as it cools.
