Finished: Nothing

Now Playing: Ghost of Yotei

Added to Backlog: Nothing

Current Backlog: 39 games

I have played a lot of Yotei, but forgot the exact hour count. I have a few more weapons, started venturing to the up and right region first (did several things there) before switching and going to the up and left region. Currently running around there completing things and uncovering the map.

Also, Powerwash Simulator 2 was announced for October 23 release...ugh, another game in the month of October. I've got that on the 23rd, Once Upon a Katamari on the 24th, and then Dragon Quest I&II HD-2D on the 30th. I mean, I'm getting them all but man it's gonna be a while to get thru them.

Games added: Nothing

Last week: Finished nothing, played Ghost of Yotei & DRG:S

This week: Same

Busy week/weekend, so didn't get as much Yotei time as I would have liked but I'm still making progress. Also still playing DRG:S a little, because it's a good mindless game.

How this is not Elf on a Shelf Christmas Heroes edition, I'll never know ...

Played: Like a hand of Balatro...oh and the first chapter of Warhammer 40K: Space Marine. That's fun. I also have circled back and decided I NEED to beat Granblue Fantasy Relink before the end of the year. It's too good for me to just drop it and apparently only like 20 hours long. I have 5 hours in already. I can focus on that...

Beat: HA!

Bought: Nothing.

This week: Granblue. I have to do this...

Also, while typing this I just found out that D'Angelo passed away from one of my students who knew I loved D'Angelo's music. What a blow...that guy was the business! Oh, you video game people might know him as the guy who same the song in RDR2 that has something to do with going to Mexico? Yeah, he sang that song.

Oh wow! I love that moment! RIP

Oh wait, I'm thinking of the transition in the first game. Nevertheless.

It's this song. I have no idea where it might be, during the end credits maybe? Regardless, it's a new D'Angelo song I didn't know about (I assumed the song was from one of his albums but it's apparently an original)! So that's a fun find on a sad day.

I had to make a choice, lol.


argyle - I am about 30 hours in now, trying to beat that 2nd area as I think I've done all side stuff there. Who knows though, I'm just doin whatever I find interesting.
