These are the undead figures from Skylanders Giants. 

I couldn't even think of playing more Prey today. Too stressed to take on a single player experience, so Mark and I operated like Lewis and Clark in the attempt to get the Map Room achievement in Minecraft on XBO.   

Mark and I, in an epic show of endurance, finally made it to The End and defeated the Enderdragon. Then I played the first half hour of Prey.

I got the achievement for teleporting 100 meters with the Ender Pearl. I just got up on a bigger mountain and then made a pilar of blocks to raise me even higher. Mark got it too just after me. 

These are the five fire element Skylanders from Skylanders: Giants that are on the poster. Two are new to the series (Hot Head and Hot Dog) and the rest return from Spyro's Adventure in new poses. 

This here be the Earth element figures from Skylanders: Giants, the second game in the series, yar. 

I thought I'd done all the Survival Mode achievements in the Xbox One version of the game but a few days ago a new one popped up when I tamed a horse. That almost had me looking at the achievement list but I avoided it. Today, though, I got bored trying to get to the Enderdragon and looked at the list. Here's some I got and some I didn't.

Things are just too stressfull for me this week so it was a day for Minecraft with Mark. We did the usual thing several times before we turned the game to creative mode and let loose with the mayhem. I never did get to Stardew Valley and I'm going to cancell my Gamefly membership. I don't have the money and I just can't get interested in games that I will probably have to play solo. Co-op is so much more fun and therapeutic. 

Mark and I played a bunch of Minecraft today. We played on Survival mode as usual and tried to gather all the matterials necessary to get to the Ender Dragon and beat it. In our first try, we got into The Nether and found ourselves on a island like structure high in the air with the fortress set to one side and seemingly far below. I tried to build some stairs down but eventually just jumped for the end of a broken walkway. I somehow survived it but then had to fight off multiple Blazes, Withers and Ghasts. It was a disaster and I kept dying, my equipment scattering all over the Fortress walkways.Each time I would respawn with no gear back at the town and dash back to The Nether to try and recover my stuff. This was, of course, folly and as soon as I picked up my gear I got killed again. Mark had similar issues and after a while it got too frustrating to continue.
