Another game off my short games list and on Xbox One's Game Pass. This is a horror point-and-click adventure that would probably work very well in VR. It's in first-person and a lot of crazy stuff happens to warp your perception of the environment, stuff like the sudden appearance of baby doll heads (pic below). I expressed many mock emotions of shock and horror playing this game just to entertain my friend Mark, who was playing Golf.

On a list of short games to play, I came across Disney Infinity 2.0 and 3.0, so I thought I'd revist them on Xbox One and then decide what to do with these piles of figures I'd accumulated a few years ago. 

My friend Mark Michel, whom I play video games every weekend, has just published his first book with celebrity Claudia Christian, Snack Hacks: Over 100 Fast and Delicious Recipes for Gamers, Coders, Freaks and Geeks. It will be available on June 12th on Amazon. 

Just by accident the other day, I noticed I didn't have 100% in Minecraft on Xbox One. I found out they added a new achievement. So, of course, I had to tackle it today. 

I came across this looking through new releases on Xbox a month or so ago. I didn't know about this pinball maker, Zaccaria, at all. Well, it was a free download and comes with a free pinball game. So why not?

I played this the other day and finished it. Of course, it's not really finished because there are more achievements. I haven't decided if I'm going back in again, though. I've left it installed in case I feel like it. 

I've been playing this game in the margins as well as Rush: A Disney/Pixar Adventure, also from Game Pass. I found it really interesting. I like playing these "walking simulators" in between big games. 

I'm quite behind in blogging the games I've been playing. Rush: A Disney/Pixar Adventure is one I started months ago. I've been playing it in between bigger titles. It's also on my list of short games to play. I enjoy the casual game now and then and this is a pretty good one, especially if your a fan of Pixar movies.

I tried to get farther in Rage 1 again. I got a little farther but not very much. I really like graphics and post apocalyptic setting, but I ultimately don't like the controls. 

A few weeks ago, while I was randomly looking for things in my library's catalog during work - something I do frequently when things aren't hectic - I came across Skylanders comics collections. I didn't even know there were comics for this game series. Well, I had to start reading them, didn't I, and I have at about 1 per week since then.
