Today I hunted for the Venom figure for the Spider-Man playset within Disney Infinity 2.0. I found a new one at Walmart for $6, so I got that. Then I went to a Gamestop near me that had one used, and got one for Mark too. These Spider-Man playset characters are hard to find, so I thought I’d better get one for Mark in case I have trouble finding more. I mean, I’ll go to Amazon if I really have to, but I like finding them in the wild. It’s more fun that way.

Also known as Marvel Super Heroes, D.I. 2.0 is a really fun game. I've played about twelve hours of it this weekend. I finished the Avengers Play Set story mission and then went about exploring Toy Box Mode for fun and achievements. 

I'm getting ahead of myself a little bit. This is my blog of events on Friday, even though I'm posting this early Sunday morning. So Friday I picked up Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright at Gamestop for no money because I traded in some games. I had trade-in money left over so, before I went to see the Deadpool film, I hit a different Gamestop and looked to see what Disney Infinity figures they had. Well they had the playset unlock figure I needed for the Guardians of the Galaxy playset in D.I. 2.0 and two figures, Rocket Racoon and Star Lord. So I got those and two more Skylanders (Zook and Boomer) to fill out the buy-2-get-3-free sale. See pic below:

Alright, so today I learned something new (and kind of annoying) about Disney Infinity and what you need to play two player online co-op in the story missions (called "playsets"). There are special figures that unlock the playsets.

So later on that day I got my first Disney Infinity figures on sale, I put together my list of Skylanders I'd like to have. Then I couldn't resist going to Gamestop again right before work and getting a bunch of Skylanders. While I was doing that, I saw a Disney Infinity figure I hadn't seen earlier and had to have that. I got seven figures for $20. That's a nice price. Here's the picture:

I couldn't help myself. Gamestop's buy-2-get-3-free sale on figures is still on! I got my first five Disney Infinity figures. Here's a pic:

The other day I was in Gamestop getting Saints Row IV and I was told that buy 2 get 3 free sale on toys to life figures was still going on. My eyes popped out wide and I went to take a look. I couldn't think of what Skylanders figures I still wanted. I already got quite a few. So I left without buying anything. For the moment. 

Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition, on consoles, is Diablo III plus The Reaper of Souls expansion. With that comes a lot of tweaks to the main game that makes it different enough to warrent having a seperate title and a seperate set of achievements/trophies. Mark and I played through most of the main game's four Acts and about two thirds the way through the new Act V. We're both at level 70 now and just gaining paragon levels, which gives you points to allocate within four different stats.

I finished the story missions in Destiny. Mark and I replayed a few missions for fun, but I stopped until he gets the DLC, then I'll get it too, and we can co-op all that. Boy is the shooting in this game fun. It feels like Halo. 

I pulled out my DS and started going through some GBA games. The original DS has a GBA slot. I have a GBA, but the screen is much brighter on the DS.
