Back from a short vaca. Then played one day of gaming. Read some more. Bought themed socks. 

I've been really grinding like mad in Farm Together 2. 112 hours so far exclusively playing it and nothing else. Here's the latest. 

When Final Fantasy VII appeared in the late 90s, my initial reaction was that of shock at the significant gulf in sequels for the US. It was a harsh reality to learn that, of the three mainline Final Fantasy releases we received, Japan had double that number by the start of the PlayStation era. As time marched on, Square (now Square Enix) eventually released the sequels we had missed. Meanwhile, I’ve been playing a nearly 30-year-long game of catch-up since 1997. A particular blind spot for me was Final Fantasy III- the last one to be developed for the Famicom. However, after finally getting around to playing it, I now have a new appreciation for this long-running series.

I make lists. It's a thing. Here's a few I made for this month, books to read, music to listen to, films to watch, games to play, For June, I'm thinking about the years 1900 to 1949. Two world wars, the roaring 20s, big band era, and many other things come to mind. Here's what I'm starting with. 

So this has been my morning: I woke up, bought an app for Android that plays my music, synced a folder of around 7 thousand songs but it won’t use the album art. Now I’m back to using the older music app that uses the album art but syncs like it was the 1990s on 56k. My dedicated digital audio player however can take 7 thousand FLAC files and sync them in a couple of minutes, while Android takes forever and a day just with MP3s. Blah. This is dumb. Let’s get started.

Happy Halloween!  I’ve got some treats for you all, and no tricks!  More spooky game reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com!  Well, not very many of them are scary, I write for a family friendly video game site for parents after all.  But please go ahead and read as many reviews as you can, and maybe even post a comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  OK, let’s begin!

I got started on Farm Together on Sunday thinking I was just going to do some maintenace and move on to the Borderlands 3 DLC, but I never finished tweaking my farm. Here are some things I did as I passed farm level 70. 

This past week I’ve run through all 51 games in the new Clubhouse Games for Nintendo Switch.  So today I’m going to do a wrap up with links to all the articles I’ve written as well as my overall general impressions.  So let’s begin!

Today I played EDF Insect Armageddon and Kingdome Hearts III. Then I thought I'd share my plans for media in April.
