So I'm fairly sure I didn't play anything IN this year, but I've cheated a bit to include the games I played at least pretty close to 2011. This was another one of those "transition" years where nothing happened.
I've actually been playing a lot of video games lately, if you include mobile games (and I do!). First of all, I quit smoking camels and am rolling Bali Shag, a more natural tobacco without all the crap. I feel better already, and am smoking less and feeling calmer. So while I am still struggling with Writer's Block, I have been spending my time doing some gaming, as I've been more relaxed.
Been a while since I posted anything, so thought I'd give an update. I usually try not to play too much at once, but ended up playing four games in total, two for console, two for handheld.
I guess this is a little late, seeing as how we are headed into February as of tomorrow, but here are my top games of 2017.
I’ve cooked up a buffet of game reviews for you to feast upon for the Thanksgiving season. You should all have nice fat tummies by the time you read all of these reviews I’ve written recently at GamerDad.com. Please click on the links and read as many of them as you can and maybe even post a like or comment or two. I’d really appreciate it. Dig in!
I played some Minecraft today with Mark. The online was seriously laggy after a while, so I stopped. I literally got a message that I had been killed by a Creeper but I was still alive, I just couldn't interact with anything. I thought I had just been disconnected but somehow I left my body and it got blown up. It was a weird moment. Like I was in a dream where I didn't know that I had died. It kind of feels like my real life at the moment. That was the last straw though, so I left the game.
Hey, peeps. Haven't posted here in awhile except occasional comments.
So much for my pledge to be more active with my posting here. I haven't posted since my last BaD post and even those weren't as frequent as I wanted them to be. Hopefully and currently, I will make more of an effort to be more active here.
I've been playing FFXIV lately, and really enjoying it again. To catch y'all up, I started a new account on PS4 since PS3 ver. isn't supported anymore and I didn't transfer info over in time. It's been a while since I played it, so I needed to play from beginning to see changes anyway. I'm around lvl 40 and nearing the dead end that is the vertical level grind to end game before Expansions, which I haven't purchased yet. I'm spending my free month, with 1 subsc. month to grind endgame for ARR. I leveled up to 30 very quickly, but 30-50 is a really slow grind. Just logging in to do random dungeons for fast XP before pushing story. I've seen it all before.
Fable Fortune (XBO, Win). I wish I could rent this, but it will be a downloadable title. A Fable themed anything, even a card game, is ok with me.
Hello friends, hope you're having a great week. I skipped yesterday because I had nothing of interest to say and I'm sure no one needs to hear me babble or complain about work. This random warm weather spell that has taken over Chicago has done well for my seasonal depression and I feel more upbeat today. Too bad it's going to snow this weekend.
I missed yesterday :( Monday has nothing nice to say about the world, anyway.
I've been feeling a little creative in the past month, more than usually considering my job leaves my hands slightly sore sometimes. Plus, I've been getting this idea that I would like to buy a decent web camera for streaming while I do sketches. Not sure if I ready to let people see my ugly mug but its been a thought for a while. I've tried doing digital art streams every once in a while but sometimes it just feels like I don't have enough time for any of it.
I finally made it out of the Steyliff Grove dungeon in FFXV. I did not realize when I went into it that it was 100 floors long and filled with Tonberrys.
I feel like as a month, I could do without February. It's cold in Chicago and it is this time of year when I start to get tired of it being cold and feel that Spring could step it up a bit. February 2017 now stands between me and my Switch, but since I have no control over time no matter how much I whine, I'll have to embrace little February to make the most of it.
I hope everybody is enjoying their holiday today. I've actually enjoyed mine despite not feeling exactly in the holiday spirit this year.
Really just another Random Stuff blog, just got bored using that for a title.
