I was below decks for part of the time but eventually, I joined in the sailing of the ship (that's code for I was playing solo and then coop later). I didn't eat the Cheez-Its but we came across a patch of sour cream and onion chips and I scooped up a few. You never know what you'll come across on the salty snack seas. It pays to keep alert. The following is the captain's log for the day. 

This was my Sunday gaming. 

My gaming routine is as follows: play any game needed for MS Rewards; play any game needed for Game Pass rewards; go through all the games on my hard drive from smallest file size to largest. For this last objective, I play a game for the next closest achievement, decide if I want to keep it or not, and then move on to the next game. I repeat the process weekly until, hopefully, I clear my hard drive (not likely when I keep adding new games). So here is what I did the other day. 

...a wild variety of games as I complete Game Pass quests and try and clear my hard drive going from smallest file size to largest. Sometimes I even add a new game or get a new addition on Game Pass just because. Makes for a chaotic but fun and hyper game session - just how I like it. 

I've been watching a bunch of Looney Toons lately but I only want to watch the ones made in the 50s. I've learned to read the roman numerals in the copyright date at the beginning of each short film. I have often misremembered the titles to some of my favorite shorts. i thought one was Nightmare Hare but it's actually called Water Water Every Hare. Another is Duck Dodgers in the 24th 1/2 Century but the one I really like is one with Bugs, Daffy and Marvin but I haven't nailed town the title yet. Anyway, gaming. Here's what a played that day. 

I got a request to capture this trailer from a very early demo disc used in kiosks in 2001. It's a neat disc in a way because it will just play through all the trailers automatically if you leave it running on an original Xbox. 

Gamed until I felt like I just wanted to quit and go home. I did eventually find a comfortable game to sink my time into. 

I basically raged through a bunch of games today taking no guff from any game: kill me and feel my deleting wrath. Too many games will do this to a person, I think. But I did stick with a few of them. 

On this, comic's day, I found three video game ads in an issue of Ex Machina #31 from December of 2007. Here's what they look like. 

Well what do you know, I got hooked into playing Minecraft even though I'd finished the achievements. I took a pitstop to delete a bunch of games off my hard drive but then right back to Minecraft.
