Spent it playing Diablo III: U.E.E. with Mark and seeing Assassin's Creed with my friend Sean. Details, details.

I didn't blog on Wednesday because I got a stomach virus. I was fine the next morning but that didn't get in the way of gaming both Wed and Thurs. Here's the breakdown:

As of Tuesday, first day of my staycation, I've played quite a lot of Diablo III: U.E.E. with Mark; bought Star Wars Battlefront, Mad Max and the most recent Skylanders Adventure pack; and almost finished Skylanders Academy season one. Details below.  

Didn't actually game at all myself, but I watched my neice and nephew do so.

That title might scare you but it's just Mark and I playing Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition this Xmas eve. I had to work for three hours in the middle there, but I dashed back to his place and picked up where I left off, chasing the Dream Team achievement. 

I did two things today: played a heap ton of Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition, and watched Star Wars: Rogue One for the second time. 

After watching an episode of Skylanders Academy on Netflix today, I got a lot of time in with Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition.

Couldn't stop thinking about the Midway Arcade Level Pack I wanted from Lego Dimensions, plus I was bored, so I went to Toys R Us hoping they still had their sale. They didn't. So I went to BestBuy around the corner. They did. I got it for $17 instead of $30. Yeah!

Played Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition all day today on XBO. I chose the Witch Doctor character because I wanted one that could conjure minions. The whole time I couldn't stop singing this old novelty song, Witch Doctor, from 1958. Check it out.  

I played several turn-based strategy games today, and boy did they frustrate the heck out of me: XCOM 2 and The Banner Saga. What's the point of leveling a character just to watch him/her die in the next few battles? Mistakes are fatal in these two games.
