It has been a busy week and a half and I haven’t been playing a lot. Whatever free time I find I jump right into my NCAA Football Dynasty so I can finish the current season. I have a solid recruiting class I want to use but I still have the last game of the season, the conference championship and the bowl.

Good morning and Happy Monday to you good people. It is a windy morning here in Southern California and the streets are full of RV’s leaving the area because the last music festival of the year is over and this is when everyone is headed back to reality, and I avoid the streets as much as possible. Of course I also have to run errands but I am holding back on those for later. So today I thought it would be fun to do a combo Gaming on the Cheap/Quick Hits because I didn’t get around to it last week because I got caught up in the NFL Draft. I watch the dang thing every single year, and this year is no different, except at times I played some NCAA Football and had the draft going on my phone. Anyways let’s get started!

So as I was breezing through Lego Ninjago Movie Video Game I noticed that I didn’t unlock one medal that I figured would have been unlocked by the point I was at (around 90% finished). I looked online and then I saw the dreaded “Lego glitch”. I read that if you replayed one of the last levels you may be able to fix this but when I played through it, nothing happened I knew it was time to stop playing the game because no matter what I did the game would always be 99% finished. What’s the point of grinding with races, and finding gold bricks if I’m rewarded with a 99 instead of 100% completed? After this fun it was time to take a break from the Switch and go back to the PC and good thing because I have a couple of games I bought that combined were under $8 so it’s time for another Gaming on the Cheap.

Last Thursday or Friday I was browsing through the Nintendo Switch Store and found a couple of games that seemed like they would be entertaining and were a couple of bucks each. I think the most expensive game was $6. Well one I finished in one sitting, and the other well I’m stuck but we’ll get to more of that in a bit, let’s talk about the one I finished first.

So the week is almost over and I finally get around to a What Is Chris Playing Blog, but better late than never, right? Last night I took another game off Mount Backlog which is good, but then I stayed up way too late roaming through the free play but more of that in a bit. For now let’s get started.

You know the chore that I absolutely hate? Laundry. Don’t get me wrong I love clean clothes but I hate having to drag the laundry basket out and then sorting clothes. The past couple of years I’ve been getting dark t-shirts because of this but I still have other shirts and its pain. Anyways guess what I am currently waiting doing while typing this latest edition of Quick Hits. Yep.

Earlier this morning I was supposed to go to the dealership to get the oil on the truck changed. Instead I moved it back a bit because I may have woken up a tad bit late due to watching not only the West Coast late airing of Billions (best show on Showtime) but watching the end of Fast and Furious (F&F 4) on another Showtime but then finding the original F&F was on yet another Showtime channel, probably their action one. Instead here we are, not at the dealership or at my usual spot, on a treadmill complaining about weird guy who dipped himself in Axe Body spray, I am here in front of a laptop typing out my thoughts for games I played this past week including one game I finished.

I was ready to type up this latest entry a couple of hours ago but I got caught up in cruising the World Wide Web, reading random articles, message board posts, and other time wasters and before I knew it, here we are. I had a couple of things to write about this week and I wanted to share my thoughts but when I was trying to organize them that’s when I got caught up in the time waster. So before I get caught up in a random YouTube video let’s get started!

I checked my email an hour ago and it turns out someone created an Epic Games account with my email address. I changed the password and user name but I can't find a way to deactivate this account. I went to their Help page and it really is no help, and eventually I managed to send off an email about my problem and I was met with a quick reply of "Your email is not being monitored". This is frustrating. Apparently there is no way to cancel this account some yahoo made, and their help section is of no help. I also reached out on Twitter but after this experience I doubt they will get back to me. If you any you folks know a workaround I'd appreciate the advice. Anyways check your email and make sure someone didn't open up any accounts on their site.
