Played some Worms today because it came out in 1995 on PC. I wanted to give this game another chance because last time I got really fed up with it. I got into it enough to buy it on Xbox Live and play the tutorial and several of the challenges. Then I tried to find someone to play with online but no luck there, so I went back to the challenges and got annoyed by the A.I. always getting the perfect angle on me with ranged weapons. Shooting at range in this game takes a lot of trial and error since there's no guidelines or anything to tell you exactly at what angle to shoot. That's fine though. I enjoyed it enough to return to it sometime, hopefully with a real person to play against. 

I find it a little difficult to remember just what I saw in the theaters that year, but this next list is probably the stuff. If I didn't see these films that year, it was very soon after. 

Well, there were only three games I played that year: Warcraft II, Road Rash on PSone and Donkey Kong Country 2 on SNES. I mean, maybe I played them a year later, I don't actually remember, but these I played very close to their release dates.

Here's my list of albums I heard back in '95.

In keeping with 1994, I played a bunch of Doom II today on Xbox Live. Fun game. I went for achievements right away since I've played it many times before. Remembering all the secrets on level 1 was interesting. After a while my memory was jogged and I got them all for an achievement. Then I was going for the one playing the whole game on next to hardest or better difficulty. Along the way I got the chainsaw kills one and tried to get the berzerk kills one on the first level you have that. Not enough enemies there to do it though. You need 20 within the very short time it's active and you're invincible. Later I found the room where you can get the kill a cyberdemon by punching. There's invincibility globes all around, so it shouldn't be too hard. I got a bit tired of playing it though and stopped. 

I only played some Minecraft on Monday and nothing else the rest of the week. I was at a car show all day Sunday, so nothing on the weekend either. Actually, I did bring my 3DS with me to the car show for street passes, but I haven't had time to check it yet. I'm looking forward to Tuesday when I pick up Etrian Odyessy Untold 2 and Rare Replay. I think I might pick up an Xbox One later in the week too. 

So here's a short list I made of the games I played back then and some I didn't but would love to now. 

Doesn't sound as good as nineteen eighty-four probably because it doesn't have the literary reference of Adolus Huxley's [George Orwell dummy] book to make it sound important, but I like it well enough. This year I was doing temp office work and hated it. I got offered full-time jobs but turned them all down. In retrospect, it was stupid, but then I was still in my twenties and didn't want to commit to anything. Sound familiar twenty-somethings out there? This below is the music I listened to. I made a list of 77 albums I want to hear now, but these were the 14 I heard then and liked, in no particular order.

In keeping with playing some 1993 games this week, I played some Kirby's Adventure on Wii, and Doom and Magic 2013 on Xbox Live. Then I was going to play the game I bought Sunday, Saint's Row: Gat Out of Hell, but I was feeling a bit worn down and so slacked my way back to Minecraft. That's the short tale. You can stop there if you want, or hear the longer tale below.

Here's my top ten list of stuff I want to watch or rewatch from 1993. Right now I'm watching the first season of Batman: The Animated Series. When I finish that, I'll get on to this stuff.
