I got really fed up with brick breakers mainly because the Xbox controller is just terrible for these games. I watched a youtuber complete NES Arkanoid with the Arkanoid controller you could get for NES. THAT is what I need on Xbox. I may try and get that thing. So, I added some other games to my list and began the deep dive into pinball. Here's all:

These darn brick-breakers, that is. I've been trying to play the earliest gaming styles on Xbox to coincide with my console Gen 1 theme this month. It's been a struggle, and compromises have been made, but it's also been fun, if at times frustrating. Gen 1 might get a miss from me next year if I do this again.

I started this month by making a puzzle I found at Goodwill, but then I needed to watch Philly Eagles highlights, and so I hooked up my Xbox, and now I'm trying to limit my playing to the earliest type of video games. I've started up Gamepass quests again, though, so the rules bent a bit. Here's what all:

Got in a few more games before I packed up my Switch for a while. Check 'em out. 

This is the last week of Switch and, for that matter, all electronic gaming for me but just for January. I'm going to explore gaming in the first generation of consoles, which is to say, no consoles, because I don't have much interest in Pong or the Odyssey. I've got a gaming related puzzle, some origami paper, and several board games I'd like to try. But until then, this is the Switch stuff I did this week, which wasn't that much because I got obsessed with old 1930s serials like Buck Rogers on youtube (watched on Switch). 

Still very Switchy this week before Christmas. Merry Christmas to all btw! Here's what I've been playing. 

Made a list of 2022 games I'm interested in. It's a kind of shopping list. Thought I'd share it. 

I went through the game releases of 2023 on wiki and came up with a list of games I'm interested in for Switch (as if I could get to them all this month . . not). I looked for games exclusive to Switch, but some of these are also on PS4, PC or mobile. As long as they were not on Xbox or something I feel goes with Playstation like GrimGrimoire Once More (and I was strongly interested in playing them) I put them on the list. So here goes in reverse chronological order (the order I'm playing them in):

I'm surprising myself by actually sticking to a few titles for long periods instead of jumping all around. 

Finally, I am Switch exclusive right now. I already have youtube running for meal times, and I'm exploring the story and news apps thoroughly. I'm also just as impatient with every game I'm playing, taking breaks and jumping around like a manic flea from game to game. Well, maybe I've found a game I will stick to for a while in Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince. Details below.
