Games added: Nothing

Last week: Finished Black Jacket, played Crimson Desert.

This week: Crimson Desert & Forza Horizon 6

The final ending of Black Jacket was a little underwhelming. I actually thought for sure that there was a better ending if I did something else, but after looking into it apparently there's not. The individual stories wrap up well, but the final ending just left me wanting more. Still, the game was a lot of fun & I did enjoy the individual stories, so I'd still recommend it.

Over 200 hours in CD now, and I'm still discovering new things you can do that I didn't know about. Absolutely insane game.

Hey, it's another Argyle's Retro Movie Review!

As promised, the missus and I watched Diner this past weekend. I really enjoyed it! Was surprised I hadn't heard of it before, let alone seen it, especially given all the big names in it. I found it to be kinda Tarantino-esque - the non-violent aspects of his stuff, that is. Specifically, I told my wife that the dialog reminded me a little of the opening scene to Reservoir Dogs where they're sitting around debating tipping. It had that kind of vibe to it, and was very well written - I completely bought that this was a close group of friends. And the depection of them being in that in-between period between high school & "real" adulthood was very well portrayed. I guess my only minor gripe is I didn't feel Kevin Bacon's motivations got explained very well (unless I missed something, which is possible, it's a movie with a lot going on). He was obviously very troubled, but I didn't get what specifically about. Still, there are a lot of threads and they are all weaved together very well. I thought it was excellent - 4 out of 5 stars, would definitely watch again.

Hey, glad you enjoyed it! Like I said, it's special to me because of the Baltimore stuff (the diner itself, the local accents, the Baltimore Colts stuff, etc.), but I'd dig it even if it didn't have any of that.

My next recommendations are "The Right Stuff" for something that's just great and "Repo Man" for something that's crazy and entertaining.



Played recently: Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake

Finished: nothing

Added to backlog: nothing

Really enjoying my time with DQ3. It's a nice big helping of comfort food. Nothing wild or surprising, just a really nice dish of something I know I enjoy.

Finished: Nothing

Now Playing: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Added to Backlog: Nothing

Current Backlog: 36 games

Indiana Jones is still great! Some very funny moments (Indy taking confession of a fascist in the Sistine Chapel, anyone?) and I'm hopefully finishing up the Vatican story part soon.
