You're not the first person I've heard talk about getting games from the library but I've yet to come across a library myself that actually has games 

I've been on a great streak with novels this year. Last month I read Snow Crash, which wouldn't fit into your theme because it was published in '92, but it's a foundational cyberpunk work akin to Neuromancer (though those two books are still pretty different). Good stuff!

I don't think you'll regret it! And it's on all the current systems now, I think, so take your pick 

The old Mega Man games would be much more frustrating but the Legacy Collection has a save state feature. You still have to get through the hard bits but you only have to do it once, and that makes the games so much more enjoyable for time-crunched adults.

I thought it was so cool to play an action RPG with a shoot-'em-up component rather than a shooter one (e.g., Mass Effect). I can't think of another game like that.

I remember when Yarger used to actually blog. I’m glad he’s seen the light with the Switch at least. Now talk him into playing Odyssey! 

Consignment sales and thrift stores  And I'll get to BotW. I don't like playing more than on big game at a time...and that game is so big! So little time...

I'm an especially big fan of 3D World. That game was so fun! Plus...cat suits!

Piñatas, the most cantankerous of beasts!

I used to "buy" all the PS+ games each month out of principle but eventually became much more selective. Why burden myself with games I'm not even interested in playing? Case in point: I'm not sure I'm gonna download any of the April PS+ offerings.

I'm glad you know what you're getting into. I have not heard good things about that game.

I'd love to get a sequel to Astro Boy: Omega Factor from the GBA, which was a fantasic action game from Treasure (really, anything from Treasure would be great these days). Another great one-and-done GBA game was Drill Drozer from Game Freak. Such a fun, unigue game from the folks that normally just pump out Pokémon. I wish they got to do original games more often. I would also love a proper sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Four Sword Adventures. Not a lot of people were able get enough people and Game Boys and link cables together to play that game properly but I've been through that game twice and it is such an awesome multiplayer experience. TriForce Heroes was fun but it played very differently (much more puzzle oriented). Gimme the action focus of Four Swords.

As for MGS2...never played it. The Twin Snakes is my only experience with the series, even though between collections and PS+ I actually have the entire main series now, and I intend to play it. Just need the time...
