I've been playing a bunch of games I either didn't dl or never got far in or just want to get trophies in. 

LEGO Marvel Superheroes was $6 when I bought it and is my first LEGO game. Tbh I think it's a mix of outright boring tedium and a few chuckles here and there from inside jokes. But, I do like certain mechanics like flying ( though the "go through these hoops" challenges really highlight some control flaws therein) and it is addictively simple. I'm actually enjoying exploring the open world NY hub and collecting secrets and trophies a lot more than I enjoyed the linear storyline. What ... happened here?

I finally killed the Griffin in Witcher III and was asked a bunch of questions about a war I knew nothing about. My dialogue tree choices were meaningless, cause hell if I know if I was making Geraltb lie or not. I then skipped what looked like a LONG tutorial on a card game. I might come back to it, but it's on the burner for now.

I deleted Bloodborne from my HD (still at beginning stages of that one as well; hoping to come back to it as well) to dl Shadows of Mordor. So far it feels like Arkham Knight with worse graphics and an LOTR skin ... I'm actually kind of enjoying it, though it has not been too challenging thus far.

I downloaded a demo of Gravity Rush 2 and think I might get that if it goes on sale

I also completed the FFXV Platinum demo. I was excited for an FF game with an action-based combat system, but it does seem real repetitive. Also, maybe the demo's different, but while I certainly find the game pretty, it wasn't the shit-my-pants gorheous I've been reading about. That said, the boss in the demo handed my ass to me if you don't count the fact I revived no matter what. That challenge may actually encourage me to buy the game.

Then I decided to torture myself by realizing that not having my PS4 hooked up for the better part of the year made me miss out on free Journey, Nba2k16, and REHD Remake. Still wish PS+ would just auto add free games to my library.

I've kinda been binging on games of late because I recently got over a bout of MDD and can actually enjoy these things again, so your holiday message is appreciated even if Wellbutrin has gotten me past the worst of it the past couple months or so.

I think it rained earlier here. I wonder if there are any storm chasers from Cali. 

I have never rooted for the Eagles harder than I did on Thursday. 

That whole needing an Internet connection to make sure you own this content thing is probably going to piss me off one day. Luckily, either my media doesn't have that or my Internet never dropped at a time like that.

Sometimes, I like simple ratings systems like buy/rental/skip, but for a personal catalog with full albums of unequal songs, it's better to have something more specific so Genius knows to play the cream instead of the crap.

Happy Kwanzaa! 

I've wanted to play a Killzone for a while. Maybe PS Store has a demo.

I guess I forgot you live in TX. I know Carey and a couple other people do as well. Weather in Nacogdoches was really cold while I was down there, but here in Dallas it's actually a bit humid today. 

I have an older brother, but I often received single-player games like Zelda and we each had our own consoles. 

We do play each other on occasion though. 

That would indeed have been Ocarina of Time. 

That's really cool. I don't have any gaming traditions. I just play through certain games every now and then. Funny you mention Zelda, cause I never thought about it, but I guess I do play those around this time.

I'm a little ashamed of myself for not seeing that coming.

I don't remember names tbh. I know there were a lot of Easter eggs for big Star Wars fans, but as a casual admirer I likely didn't catch most of them. 

I loved the new characters in Force Awakens though.

PoP SoT was one of my favorite games, and I was really turned off by the direction they went in Warrior Within. So I had kinda the opposite experience of you. I love SMB's death system.
