Yeah 2016 was not a good year.  I had just lost my job late the year before, so for the first third of 2016, I was unemployed.  I tried to get my dream job working at the National Videogame Museum, but that didn't work out, which broke my heart.  So I was forced to take any job I could, and ended up working at a hardware store and I don't care anything about hardware and do it yourself stuff.  I'm not a handyman.  And I'm still working there.

2016 sucked for games, too.  In 2015 we got awesome games from Nintendo like Splatoon, Mario Maker, and Yoshi's Woolly World.  In 2016 they gave us...Star Fox Zero?  Blech!  Good thing they made up for it in 2017.

I got Street Fighter V when the price went down to 20 bucks.  It is a disappointing game, but Cammy looks really cool in it.

The Ratchet and Clank movie didn't really suck, it just made me want to play the games instead.

I played and beat Gravity Rush on the Vita.  I wish I could've gotten the remastered version on PS4, but it got too expensive.  I do like the main character in those games, though.

Stardew Valley was fun, but I think most of the people who hyped it up must've never played a Harvest Moon game, because Stardew Valley is just a carbon copy of those.

Pokken Tournament was a great fighting game.  But then, Namco made it.  Although I wouldn't buy it again on the Switch, I did enjoy it on the Wii U.

I really only enjoyed playing Hyrule Warriors when it was co-op with my brother Jeff, so I don't know if I'll get the new edition that's coming out on Switch.

I didn't play Pokemon Go either.  Mianly because my cell phone is too old but also because I don't get out enough to really make use of it.  But I do remember when EVERYONE was playing it.

And like I said before, Star Fox Zero was just a bad game.

I think the fighting system in NI no Kuni 2 is totally different than the first.  I'm going to keep my eye on the game, but I don't know if I'll get it.  I played the first game a lot, but never beat it, and I may not have time for this one either.

Yes, there's even a character who calls Litchi "Boobie Lady."  But I still like her anyway.  She's fun to play as and she looks cool and smart.

I don't watch a lot of game videos on YouTube for that reason.  So many of them curse too much for my tastes.

Yeah it is a pretty big anchor.  May's been eating her spinach.

Yeah some of the more recent fighting games I've played are really light on content.

My favorite BlazBlue character is Litchi.  Unfortunately she's also one of the more fanservice-y characters, but that's not why I like her.

DOA Volleyball is just not very much fun.  One of the things you can do outside of playing volleyball with horrible game mechanics is give the other girls presents.  At first I was like, "Oh boy, it's like Animal Crossing."  So I bought a purple flower and wrapped it in purple paper to match Ayane's purple hair and gave it to her.  She didn't even want it!  How ungrateful!  At least the animals in Animal Crossing receive your gifts gratefully!

So I guess my favorite DOA characters are now Tina and Helena.  But I don't really have any good reason why.

Dan is the joke character from the Street Fighter series.  He's like Ken and Ryu but wears pink.  And his fireballs only go a few inches from him.

Man it would be cool if May threw around an anvil.  She's have to be really STRONG!

The 3DS has been out for quite a long time.  And it really is still going strong.  I play it quite often.  I just beat Ever Oasis, am starting Kirby Battle Royale, and looking forward to Detective PIkachu.  I think my favorite 3DS game is Animal Crossing: New Leaf.  I think my favorite feature, though, is StreetPass.  I've had so much fun over the years with StreetPass games and features.

I'm all about the silly.  Although there is a fine line between silly and annoying or too nonsensical.  But I'm pretty tolerant about that. So you know that talking moogle has to be pretty bad if it annoys me.

Aw Noctis?  Bleh, I was hoping it would be someone cool like Terra.

I don't really get into the Tekken games that much, though.  I only get them if they have a cool feature, like being able to play the arcade classic StarBlade, or dressing up Nina Williams in Zelda's dress.  And even then, I only get those games when the price goes way down.  So I don't know if I'll get Tekken 7 anytime soon, if ever.
