I’m seriously considering switching to playing only small indie games. Full game experiences are so involved. Whole weekends disappear. I don’t know if I like that right now. But I’m going to finish what I started, and that is Lego Pirates of the Caribbean.

I nearly did finish it today. I’ve one hundred percented the first half of the game, gotten all the characters, all the red hats (which give you boosts during gameplay), and gotten over 1 billion studs. I think just a few more hours next weekend will finish it. I’ve been occasionally looking up walkthroughs. I got stuck just a few times, and in the interest of time, I looked up a walkthrough on IGN using MS Edge on my console. It was surprisingly easy to jump back and forth from the game and website. I tried to avoid it most of the time though. It’s more fun to figure it out myself.

It looks like July is just about over, so I’m researching my music listening for August. I’m doing 1974. I have a handful of albums I haven’t listened to closely and another playlist of hits and TV/Film music just for fun. ’74 really ushers in a new era of music departing from the influence of the 60s. Bands like Kiss, Rush and Kansas debuted. Hard rock and metal were starting to gain a foothold, Prog Rock was at its peak and would decline after this making way for Punk, and Disco would become a thing. Maybe I’ll do a whole blog on this when I’ve finished researching it. It’s so fun to do research. I love that part.

Also, I’m going to put August’s games on my rental list. I can’t wait to see what’s coming out. I know there are a lot of interesting titles as we get closer to the holiday season. I’ll blog on that later as well.

That’s a day. Work ensues. Ugh!
