So yeah, still playing far too much Animal Crack Crossing. It doesn't help when Cary keeps feeding my addiction by sending me presents on a daily basis, lol. Thank you, Cary! I have, however, been quietly amassing a bunch of other games.

Sorry I've been gone for so long. Having a ball with the Switch. Mostly Animal Crack Crossing, but I have picked up a few more games. Spirit of the North, Dragon Quest, Dragon Quest II, Dragon Quest III, and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

After finishing up all the Ratchet & Clank main games, I decided to delve back into the box of unfinished/unplayed PS3 games that have been on my conscience for a while. I found one, more about that further down.

My staycation was a resounding success in helping me relax and get rid of stress. I meant to do a lot of cleaning out of the cottage, and I did get a lot done, but what I really ended up doing was playing a lot of Ratchet & Clank and watching a lot of mindless action movies. And it was so good!

Well, I finally knocked Tool of Destruction off Mount Backlog. I might go back for a replay and to see if I can get the last couple of gold bolts and a few more skill points, but that will be later. I moved on to Casey's favorite, A Crack In Time and finished that day before yesterday and did a challenge mode run through yesterday in between cleaning and reorganizing my kitchen area (Death to all ants!!!) I set my timer for 15 minutes of game time after I would finish up one task and before moving on to the next. It was a pretty good motivational tool. I may keep that up, it was quite effective.

So during my Ratchet & Clank marathon, I've realized that I abandoned this game part-way through when I bought it ten years ago. I know this because I checked the date on my save files. And as Snee will tell you, my OCD makes sure that I play games in order, so that also means that I never played A Crack In Time or Into the Nexus. Oops! I wonder what new and shiny game came out to tempt me away from Tools of Destruction. Or maybe I got to the so frustrated I needed to stop or I was going to throw a controller phase. Who knows what was going through my mind ten years ago.

Yes, I'm alive. Busy and burned out at work and it's not even June. More about that at the end. I've been gaming more these days, so I actually have something to blog about for a change. And yes, true to form, they are all "late to the party" games that I'm sure everyone else played ages ago.

1. I rather expected more zombies and fewer TP hoarders when the apocalypse came.

It was a long winterish season up here in Maine. I say winterish because the weather never could decide what it wanted to do. One day it would be sub-zero, and the next would be in the upper 40s. It would snow, and then all the snow would melt. I don't do well with winter if there isn't any snow. It seems darker and more depressing, and all the outdoor fun stuff I like to do in the winter depends on snow. I never did get my regular snowshoes out, and the racing snowshoes got used maybe half a dozen times, three of those for the actual races.

I really need to blog more. Actually, I need to game more so I'll have more to blog about. But anyway...
