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. 

Just saw this today on an IMAX screen. I loved the first one mainly for it's cartoon/anime quality. This one has a better story and takes longer to build, but isn't quite as exciting overall. Good plot twists though. I'll give it that. It was worth the watch. I had to see it on the biggest screen possible. Wish it was in 3D though. Here's the collectible ticket I got: 

Today I packed up Gamefly's Just Cause 3 and joined Game Pass. I started the download for Sea of Thieves and, while I waited, played about 35% of Quantum Condundrum in tandem with Mark. Then I played Sea of Theives for a long while, and then I played Letter Quest the rest of the time. Details below. 

I think I might stop Gamefly rentals and join Game Pass on Xbox One. I want to play games day one and this will let me do it cheaply. Sea of Theives is out and I can jump right in. This will limit what I do on PS4 and 3DS and such, but I probably should narrow my interests anyway. I don't think I'll trade in anything. I still might pick up some games on other systems when there's a sale. So we'll see. I'm kind of excited. I want to get in there with games when everyone else is and get the best multiplayer experiences. I never thought I'd say that, but I'm kind of interested in exploring that right now. So on to today's gaming. 

Seems like a lot of jumping around from game to game but it was mostly Minecraft today because I had Mark to play with; although, he doesn't seem too keen to have me in his game anymore. It's kind of a strange turn of events, so I'm already thinking of other kinds of multiplayer gaming to do. On to the details.
