Saw some film and played a plethora of small games and demos, plus Minecraft. 

Warcraft (film): This was surprisingly good. I loved the effects with the magicians. I thought the story was cool too. Humans have to stop Orcs from building a portal that'll bring the horde to the human's world. There's complications on both sides to make it all interesting. 

Eternal (free-to-play card game): I finished the compaign and played the challenge mode until an opponent pulled out three of the same card to stop my attack. Three? Really? I smell a rat. So I quit. 

Hand of the Gods: Another card game except the cards are depicted as figures on a battle field. The voice work in these card games are hilarious - so over-the-top. I forget why I stopped playing it. I think it was that it asked me to buy something to get over a tough battle. That's free-to-play for you. 

Heavy Fire: Red Shadow demo: This is a static shooter, arcade style, game sort of like those old light gun games such as Time Crisis. You get placed in a turet and are attacked from all sides by enemies. I played the tutorial and then endless mode. The demo only gives you one location to play. You just shoot at everything. It was fun for a little while. I remember trying to get other games in the series for Wii way back because I think it supported the light gun peripheral. 

Lego Star Wars Force Awakens Demo: A pretty short demo but fun. You play in the area of the first part of the movie where you end up in the Millenium Falcon and fight your way off planet. You got Rey, BB8 and Finn. It's like every other Lego game. It's good. 

Lies of Astaroth: Another card game with an art style containing risque characters. It's a fine game but you hardly do anything. The game seems to play itself. You just put cards into play and the fighting goes on auto. I played several areas and built my deck up when I got new cards. Then I seemed to hit a wall and there was a suggestive sell. Free-to-play tactics again. Well it was a fun hour of doing almost nothing. 

Oceanhorn demo: This is an isometric view RPG with sprites and music by Nobu Uematsu. It's kind of good. You explore, figure out puzzles and fight old school Zelda style. You move around islands with dungeons underneath and collect your father's armor and weapons before you leave the island. Then the demo ends. I would consider buying this sometime. 

Dragon Ball Z S1, Ep 1-2: I didn't have much time on Thor's-Day so Mark and I watched this again. I really like the show. It's so funny to me - all that over-the-top machismo and talk of power levels. I like the scifi element of it too. The scenes of space and space travel are cool. I'll get Mark to play some more when I run out of movies to watch this month. 

Minecraft: I started a new map, found a village, and set up shop. I mined at night and traded with the villagers for emeralds during the day. It was a nice routine. When I had to stop I had finally found a lava pool in my mine. I can build the Nether Portal now. I have all the achievements, so I don't really know what my goal is. I think I'll make myself into a total bad-ass and become a world destroying Super Saiyan. AHHHHHH!!!

I never did get into DragonBall Z like so many of my friends who grew up with it, but I caught some of the original Dragonball on YouTube my first year in college and it was pretty funny.

I never grew up with it. I only found out about the Dragonball manga recently and read volume 1. I definitely like the art style and the subsequent animation in the shows. I've only watched a total of about 6 episodes from DBZ season 1. My friend Mark has watched everything though.

I just reviewed Heavy Fire: Red Shadow.  I didn't know there were other games in the series:

I also reviewed Oceanhorn a while back.  It's a nice little mini Zelda type game.

Heavy Fire Special Operations and Black Arms (WiiWare)
Heavy Fire Afganistan (PS3, 3DS)
Heavy Fire Shattered Spear (PS3, X360)

I remember now. I was looking at those last two for PS3 because there was a gun with the Move wand you could use for it. I love gimmicky periferals for game systems. 

Huh. It looks like Red Shadow can be played with PSVR. I played it on Xbox One just normally. 

I read your Oceanhorn review. If it goes on sale, I'll pick it up.

I can't wait for the pandas and the roving marauders who'll attack my village, coming soon in an update. There's also going to be a dungeon-crawl mode coming. I'm not sure how that'll work, but I'm in.
