Sounds provocative doesn’t it, but they are just the two themes I’m using for March to guide my media choices. That is, besides the media that actually releases this month and makes my eyes pop out in excitement. Call these themes, tools to determine my backup plans.

Mark and I played the entire campaign in co-op today. We didn’t get that achievement at the end though. I'm not sure why. Then we spent a lot of time hunting orbs. driving cars through stunt rings and battling security forces. It was a lot of fun.

Mark and I hunted down the last of the evil doer’s assets in Crackdown 3. Then I got silver on every Rooftop Race and Driving challenge. I messed around with wall climbing in a car. Finally, I started a Legendary playthrough to see how tough the game gets.

I’m about done with Crackdown 3. I’ve been chasing achievements and playing a little multiplayer, but I’m losing my interest. I may go play Wargroove instead.

I got my mission from Persephone at HQ to find someone lost in the Primitive Jungle. I also picked up a few quests from the bar. They should be called re-quests because they are not grand at all. One has team Scything (that’s my team name) hunting down someone’s lost favorite coin, and another has us collecting mint for a drink. We’re game though. All grist for the XP mill.

No new quests, so I dove further into the Primitive Jungle. I fought some giant scorpions and mapped most of level 2 before a soldier gave me the message I was wanted at HQ. So, I headed back, slowly. 

I finally met a bit of a challenge with these things called Galeteas and a Golem, but the real surprise was finding Birgitta’s Snow in a remote area of the labyrinth.

Just a routine day in Etrian Odyssey Nexus. No quests to be had yet, so just exploration, map making and gathering resources for new weapons and potions. I mapped out the Small Orchard and then entered the Jungle where I mapped level 1 and fought some new monsters.

After half a dozen tries, I finally beat the final boss. Then I started mopping up various other things on the map. Finally, I started messing with the game, seeing how the AI reacts, exploring and doing silly things. It’s not over yet.

I may be nearing the end of the main story in Crackdown 3 already. I’ve done almost every activity on the map too.
