Games I Watched Today

Didn't actually game at all myself, but I watched my neice and nephew do so.

My neice was way into Sims 4 on PC. I recall listening to an interview recently with Sid Meier who mentioned how people thought The Sims couldn't possibly be successful when it first debuted in 2000. How wrong they were. People do want to simulate real life after all. Kind of like people want to watch reality TV shows. Who'd thought that was going to go over well?

My nephew played some Star Wars Battlefield [ed. Battlefront] in a setting from the Rogue One movie. I knew when I saw that last setting in the movie that it was made for a video game. Something about its design made me think that, but I thought it was going to be in a Lego game. Turns out it was SW Battlefield [ed. Battlefront]. Boy does it look great! I'm so tempted to pick up two copies tomorrow so Mark and I can play it.

I got a drone for Xmas. Of course I did. It's a thing. I like that it has a tiny camera in it. I'll see if I can shoot some photos from some weird angles; make a psychedelic rock album cover or something; call it Drones Near a Rainbow Love Sofa.

Batllefield is kinda ok. No single player and not a lot of boards kind of hurts it, and the game isn't very deep. But it is pretty.

I'm sure it won't last very long, but I gotta try it.

Haha, Star Wars Battlefield. They might as well have called it that.

I can't speak for Battlefront, but I really enjoyed Rogue One. Easily one of the best blockbusters this year.

I'm an idiot. Time to reedit my blog. . . again.

Yes, Rogue One was really great.

I think the appeal of Sims for me would be taking risks purely for entertainment i would never consider in real life.

SW Battlefront is $10 in PS STORE right now, so i might get it orv the $15 deluxe edition before 8am PT tomorrow.

I got the $15 deluxe editions used, and I've been warned the DLC codes might not work. The codes are still in the boxes though. I'll try them.

Congrats on the drone! Battlefront looks so good, I bought the vanilla copy during Black Friday and every so often I will go and play a couple of games. It's a lot of fun but I do get dizzy or else I would play the heck out of it.

I suspect I'll play it in short bursts like that too.
