I spent some time in Minecraft before I finally pulled myself away and started Worlfenstien II today. Some details follow. 

Wolfenstein II took all day to install but mostly because I kept pausing it so I could play Minecraft with Mark. Minecraft online gets really laggy if you are installing a game at the same time on Xbox One. So it never did complete, but it will be done tomorrow. Here's the other stuff I did instead. 

I jumped around quite a bit in my gaming today, but all along I was thinking of the type of game I most wanted to play and found it at the very end. 

I finished up with Letter Quest, played some Game & Watch games, checked out the new update in Minecraft, tried to complete Dead Rising Case 0, and got deep into Cars 2. I also started the install of Halo Wars Definitive Edition on Game Pass because I might want to play that again. I'm pretty sure it has a whole new set of achievements from the 360 version too. 

Word hunting continues in Letter Quest. I've got 4 achievements left. I think I can finish the rest the next time I play.

This is my monthly library buy. I got it at Gamestop for $15, as a result of my GS membership discount. I got it new even though it was labeled used. That's GS's little trick for pocketting all the money, but it benefits me since I got a new game for a used price. And not just a new game, a day-one edition. Or, maybe it's a collector's edition, I'm not sure. But take a look:

Saw this movie today and really liked it. I was afraid it would be drowned by nerd pop culture references, like the book seemed to at times, but I think Spielberg saved it from that and made a really engaging story with strong characters.

I feel like I'm gaming a bit too much right now, but that's all going to change soon. I'm already planning much more work for myself this summer and the next school year. So guilt aside, I played the heck out of Letter Quest today with Mark. Neither of us could stop. I'm certain to 100% this game in the near future. Here's a nerdy screenshot I made. 

I didn't buy anything on the Spring Sale today. Most of the games I wanted were stuff I'd like to have as physical copies, so even though they were at bargain bin prices, I'll wait to get hard copies later. I looked at the trailer to Thimbleweed Park hoping it was like The Cave, made by some of the same people, but it is a straight up point-and-click adventure. That's cool, but not my bread-and-butter. The puzzle/platformer that was The Cave was more my interest. 

I watched Star Trek The Motion Picture (1979) today, played a whole ton of Letter Quest and then checked out the Spring sale on Xbox today.
