Some of the puzzles in The Witness I'm a whiz at, but some of them I just can't figure out, even with the solution in front of me.

I really enjoy the Arkham franchise, even though there have been some sections that have frustrated me greatly (there's one part where you have to use the radio-controlled batarang, fly it through an electrified area, then turn around and fly back through a small hole and hit a target to get a door to open. I suck at that.). If I ever manage to finish Arkham City, Arkham Knight awaits me, courtesy of one of my nephews who bought it off Steam and gave me his PS4 copy (along with Rise of the Tomb Raider), because it's one of his favorite games and he wanted to make sure I got to play it, too. I love that kid.

It shows up in my news feed, I don't think it has its own newsfeed.

I usually just notice what you're playing on PS4 because it pops up in the news feed. I haven't had a ton of free time this summer, so I haven't really been keeping up on things the way I would like.

I was wondering what happened to you the other day. Good to see back here.

Every time I see a game that looks a little quirky and that I might be interested in, I immediately go to GamerDad and check and see if you've reviewed it. So far, you've saved me a lot of money on games that I thought I wanted, but after reading your review realized it wouldn't quite be what I wanted.

For your pretend birthday, I'm sending you a pretend pet moose from the wilds of Maine. They like aquatic plants, and the bark from maples and hemlocks, so fairly easy to feed.

My uncle and his wife got Pong as a wedding gift, it really wasn't their thing. They'd hook it up when we kids would come over, but we always got bored pretty quickly with it and ended up outside. I was living in Europe when the Atari came out over here, and we never got one, but I did like to play arcade games when we'd visit my uncle in Boston. The pizza placedown the street from him had Space Invaders and a pinball machine.

I check out your reviews after I see what you've been playing on PS4. Thanks for the heads up on Solo, as I'm not really a box puzzle fan.

Those three games have remained consistently in my top ten since they were released. Play them in order, as they get increasingly more difficult, and it helps if you've gotten used to how to swap weapons and gadgets and how the controls work in a slightly easier setting.

Liked that game so much that if I had a Switch, I'd buy the game and play it all over again.

I'm laid off from the park in the winter, so I usually just play in the woods behind the house. I didn't get much snowshoeing in last winter because it was mostly ice, which made the first two races like running on concrete. The third race, which is the longest and the one with the most elevation, was actually the easiest race this year because there was actually snow to run on.
