I've been watching a bunch of Looney Toons lately but I only want to watch the ones made in the 50s. I've learned to read the roman numerals in the copyright date at the beginning of each short film. I have often misremembered the titles to some of my favorite shorts. i thought one was Nightmare Hare but it's actually called Water Water Every Hare. Another is Duck Dodgers in the 24th 1/2 Century but the one I really like is one with Bugs, Daffy and Marvin but I haven't nailed town the title yet. Anyway, gaming. Here's what a played that day. 

Rainbow Six Siege: Played this as part of a monthly Game Pass rewards quest. It came up before too and I played it then as well. I had to play a round of multiplayer. You are holed up on a ship stuck in the ice and attacked by soldiers who have just arrived in a submarine. You can barricade doors and windows. Our five-person team survived the waves of attackers. One round was enough for me. 

Minecraft: My friend and I spent a lot of time on several worlds looking for the Fortress in the Nether. I looked up a guide that suggested I take a sunflower with me into the nether and plant it. It always points East. That's apparently a good direction to head. I ended up just searching in each of the cardinal directions until I came to a dead-end, usually a cliff overlooking a lake of lava. I didn't find a fortress but I did find a similar building guarded not by blaze and those black skeleton knights but by pig men armed with crossbows. They attacked me on sight. My friend had given me a crossbow,but I hadn't used one in a while and had some trouble getting it to work right. The end result was I got overwhelmed and defeated. I was really annoyed that after two worlds and several hours played I still hadn't found a fortress and the needed blaze rod or even saddles for horses (why you can't just make a saddle is beyond me). So I quit. 

Nightmares from the Deep 3: I'm getting along quite well in this game. There is a certain type of puzzle I usually skip because it takes too long for me to solve. It's the one where you shuffle around objects on a grid of paths so they form a certain pattern. To heck with that. Thankfully the game lets me do that. I probably miss out on an achievement but whatever, I just want to progress in the game and awaken Davy Jones' daughter to break the pact my daughter made with Davy.
