I got past No Russian in CoD MW 2: Remaster the REmake: The Movie: The Game: Electric Shootaloo and it was ... odd playing that level in 2020 for the first time.
Fall Guys would be more fun if I didn't DQ after round two or three every time.

Games Beaten
-Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (Wii U)
The first thing you notice about Rainbow Curse is the faux claymation art style. I don't know why more games don't adopt something similar. The music is delightful, light fare also. Drawing lines to guide Kirby could grow monotonous over an extended play session, but it was perfect in shorter bursts of a level or two. The mechanics are explored in some very creative ways and the package includes bonus modes and collectables to fill out the experience. Good game.
-Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash (Wii U)
The underlying mechanics of Ultra Smash are perfectly sound but there is just nothing to do in the game. The closest thing to a single player campaign is the endless knockout challenge, which is technically a tie breaker mode. The one new addition is the mega mushroom, which feels kind of broken and caused me way more grief than fun. I had so much fun with the previous Mario Tennis games that this one is a colossal disappointment. I'm just glad we got it so cheaply.
Games Bought
August was a slow month for game acquisitions. My oldest son turned 8 and for his birthday, among other things, he got Paper Mario: Color Splash (Wii U), which he's watched playthroughs of more than once and has been asking for, and also The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Switch remake. Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout (PS4) was the big PS+ game for the month—it was fun for a few days lol—and also Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered (PS4). That title is sure a mouthful!
Games Being Played
-Astral Chain (Switch)
Life has conspired against me playing this game and it has taken way longer to get through than it should have. But I'm nearly done, I think, and do enjoy it whenever I get to play.
-New Super Luigi U (Wii U)
My wife and I tried playing this when it first came out and it was so hard. But while still quite difficult, playing it solo has been so much more manageable.
-Desiny 2 (PS4)
We keep talking about doing a raid...and then don't. But who knows! Maybe this week.
-God Eater 3 (PS4)
Continuing the post-game crawl. Trying to get a rank 7 weapon (the highest rank) in each of the weapon classes.
Have you heard about Mass Attack? That's another cool, different take on Kirby.
