Sorry I haven't been blogging. I have a lot of stuff on my mind and a lot going on, so... I actually haven't done any writing since thanksgiving, a combination of the busyness of December and my own burn out. But my brother is headed back tomorrow and I'm feeling recharged, so I'm gonna go back to work in a few days. We've been chilling here, watching movies and playing games, but the only sad thing is my dog Taco Belle is on her last leg, and we will probably put her to sleep very soon. I love her very much and am very sad about it. 

Well, it's another Xmas, and my brother arrived yesterday from Maryland to do some gaming! First on the docket is Walking Dead... we did the first two episodes of the latest game last season, but now it's time to finish up the game. After that it's time for Star Wars Battlefront 2, which I know has problems, but my brother wanted to check it out, so...  And for Xmas day we have Prey and Evil Within 2 coming. Should be a fun filled holiday! 

Well, as I said I finished Mario, so I bought and preloaded Skyrim for the Switch, and have been playing it since it unlocked. I've played it in bits before but never really sucked the marrow out of it, but having it in a handheld form makes it easier for me, cause I prefer that method of playing games most of the time. I created a High Elf Mage, but I'm too lazy to post the pic here. I've done one dungeon so far, and am thinking of heading off to the College of Wizardry next, to supe my guy up. I like using magic in games. Lately I've been using fire magic on the bad guys. I cook them until they drop. Poor bastards. 

Well, I beat Mario. It was very enjoyable. I loved exploring Mario Worlds again, and the game is very very clever. That said, I don't have a lot of memories of the game, it's like it was consumed and that was it, leaving nothing. I liken it to eating something very sugary that's very enjoyable but afterwards you're still hungry. It's a great game - but it doesn't quite have the magic of Mario 64, even though it DOES have magic. I loved playing mario levels that weren't corridors, and it felt really fun to peak around corners and explore and find stuff.  Sometimes I think though they should take all the cute characters and tell heartfelt stories and make them feel like real beings the way they do in Zelda games. I think if there were more heart, it would be more memorable. But I did love it, and am glad I beat it cause the ending is good and there's some nice surprises when you're done. 

I'm drinking wine and listening to loud music, one of the supreme joys of human life. It's still a bit warm outside and the air conditioning is on. Boo. I've mostly been working on my book which is coming into shape nicely. In other news, I'm up to the Ruined World in Mario, which looks like a Dark SOuls level. Hmmm.  I imagine ghosts are around. We'll see.

I'm stuck on a course in Golf Story. I emailed Jesse who is close to the end of the game to see if he can help. Can I just say this though - the frisbee golf mini-game sucks ass. Even now that I'm good at it, I hate it. It blows. It sucks anus. 

Played a bit more Golf Story yesterday. Cute game. Pretty funny too. And fun. I'm learning more about the golf in it, it's quite complex even if it's a bit cartoony. Anyway, it's relaxing to go and sit on the big chair and play.
