Which one? Rogue Nation? yes, I actually watched half last night and half this morning before work.

I had a wake up call when I stepped on the scale in August and it told me I weighed 165 pounds. I'm 5'2", that's way too much, so I knew I needed to make some changes. The puppy has been really good at helping in the exercise department.

Yeah, you do need to see Kubo. One of the better animated movies I've seen. I rented it from Amazon (I'm really bad about taking movies back to Red Box, even though we have one in the store I work at) for $3.99 for the SD version. I thought it was worth the price. The other good animated movie I watched recently was Song of the Sea. That one was free with Prime, if you happen to have Prime.

As for the music, it was all over the place. It's one of those piped in channels that we have no control over. Billie Jean by Michael Jackson ( a song I loathe, by the way), Stepping Out by Joe Jackson (a favorite back in high school), Take On Me - A-Ha (love that one, too), and I think there was some Billy Idol playing when I was grabbing dinner at the hot bar. I don't remember what it was, but I was amusing the little old lady standing next to me because I was singing along out loud. Now that I think about it, it's probably all top 40 stuff because I remember it all from listening to the radio back when I was in high school.

The problem with DQ Heroes is it's really just battles and a central hub where you can buy better equipment and make upgrades. There's a bare-bones generic story and you recruit characters from previous DQ games at various points, etc, but I'm only into the third area and it's gotten old already. I really should have read some reviews before I bought the game. Oh, well. At least it was only twenty bucks.

We have a crappy internet connection here. Comcast sucks. I can't even get webpages to load properly if there's too much going on on the page.

Wondered where you'd disappeared to. I spent a chunk of 2016 dealing with depression, but I think mine was situational.

I've been watching Jason's younger brother play Star Wars Battlefront. It's the kind of game that would bore me silly after not very long but then again, I'm more into exploration than I am combat. Ben seems to like it fine, since that's what he's usually playing when we go over to visit Jason's parents.

It was a strange year, that's for sure.

I need new glasses, middle age crept up on me and not only am I near-sighted as hell, but I can't see close up now, either! So one of my resolutions is to get new glasses so I can read comfortably again. I haven't decided how many books I'm setting for my challenge this year yet. Hit me up on Goodreads if you want.

Never mind. Just looked it up. DId you beat him? How many tries did it take?

Joe's math is correct, it's been thirty years. I know this because I have my 30th high school reunion this year, which I will probably skip like I have all the others.

So how do you beat this dude?

Batman was good, all three of the Batman games, although I think 2 was my favorite of the three. If you like the humor, definitely go for Lego Jurassic Park. And pay attention to all the cut scenes, lots of Spielberg easter eggs there.

I have Zestiria for the PS3. I'll look into Gravity Rush, as I do like some action games. Arkham Asylum and Sleeping Dogs are both favorites from the last generation, and Rise of the Tomb Raider is on my radar. Thanks, Ashley!

I haven't played Lego Movie, so I can't comment on it. Some of the games are a bit more fun, my two favorites are Lego Indiana Jones and Lego Jurassic Park. Lego Marvel Superheroes was a close third. But yes, they are all pretty much the same thing with different packaging. Some have horrible, game breaking glitches (Pirates of the Caribbean and LOTR), some you get more bang for your buck.
