Better than just, "Played" and a timestamp. I've always been a fan of the absurd and dada art procedures. Why should I make sense in a senseless world? RIght? Well, the rest of this is pretty sensible. Played these on 11-14-2021. Satisfied?

 Yet another half day of gaming this weekend. 

Just by playing Forza 5 today, I cleared several different rewards challenges. Eventually though, I took a break from it to play another game for more rewards points. Sometimes I feel like I'm now stuck in Game Pass hell and can't get to my own games anymore. Hell it may be, but I'm enjoying it. Haha. 

Mainly spent my time chasing down the weekly Game Pass rewards but tried some others as well. 

Microsoft Rewards had me doing a lot of things like a bing daily set of quizzes and achievement hunting today. I needed three achievements in anything and one in Back 4 Blood that counted for two different rewards. The beginning of the month always has a lot of challenges. Then I tried a Game Pass game I thought looked interesting. 

Halloween I played as much Island Saver as I could get through. I finished the 3 islands you get for free and bought (for $5) the first DLC island full of dinos and finished that too. There is one more island, a fantasy themed one that's another $5. I'll probably get that next weekend and finish it. Then I might go for a complete achievement run. I still need the last collectible on each island. It's always one left when you finish a level, isn't it.

First two I played for Game Pass rewards. The rest trying to clear up my harddrive. That 111GB Forza Horizon 5 has installed but is not playable yet. That's a lot of Gigabytes - the new norm I'm told for triple-A games. 

I guess I don't have one game I'm totally obsessed with right now, so it's jumping around a lot from game to game. This will change on Nov 5 (I think) when Forza Horizon 5 drops. 

This week it's clearly Halloween-style games on Game Pass rewards. I recall now that I've played a lot of horror games chasing rewards points over the year. I realized it when I got into a conversation with a Gamestop salesman and knew every game he, a horror game fan, was talking about. I did, at times, have some trouble differentiating one from another. It's what happens when you play a dozen or so games but just an hour or two each. I would probably play very few horror games if it weren't for Game Pass rewards quests. It's not my favorite genre. 

Again I'll break it down between games played for Xbox Game Pass/MS rewards and my own choices. All Xbox One this week. Wish I could mix it up more with the other console makers, but I only have room for two systems up at once at my friend's place and right now it's Xbox One and Xbox 360.
