Sounds provocative doesn’t it, but they are just the two themes I’m using for March to guide my media choices. That is, besides the media that actually releases this month and makes my eyes pop out in excitement. Call these themes, tools to determine my backup plans.

So, I saw no new media that make my eyes pop out this month except the next DLC for Forza Horizon 4. That leaves my themes starting with Zen. I’m reading about Zen Buddhism. What relates in video games? There is the developer Zen Pinball who uses the word Zen in their name. I wouldn’t mind getting back into Pinball FX3. Then there are the games that are a kind of meditation. I thought of Journey right away and possibly games called “walking simulators”. Amongst games so designated, I’d really like to play Firewatch.

For the 1920s, I’m reading a book that summarizes the major events of the decade. It is very short, so I might focus on something specific like the Zeppelin flight around the world. Related to games, there are several. I’d love to play the recent Call of Cthulhu: The Official Video Game and a similar game set in the 20s, The Sinking City, out later in the month.

But what I took from my collection the other day was Sakura Wars: So Long My Love, which I've read is set in the 20s. I’ve been wanting to get to this game for so long. I think it’ll be my first choice once I’m done with Crackdown 3 and any Forza Horizon 4 DLC that drops.
