I never played the SNES Clayfighter games. I picked up 63 1/3 Sculptor's Cut from the sale bin at Blockbuster probably a year or two after it came out. It was silly fun and I got another copy for my friend Mark. For both of us this game is in our pantheon of favorite games. Who knew it would become the rarest N64 game. I only wish I had it in the box instead of a rather beaten up loose cart. Not sure if I'd sell it though. It's not available anywhere else. 

It's not a great game but it has the Animaniacs voices in it and the one-liners are funny. 

The music in Diddy Kong Racing has really stuck with me all these years. Donkey Kong Country too. Those Rare guys sure did some good music in their games. 

I really wish I could've played co-op in Ratchet & Clank. But I really liked it solo. 

I'm gonna try Star Wars Battlefront sometime soon. 

Neat. I'll have to explore what I can do on streaming services soon. 

Diablo can be really tricky in hardcore. You'll be playing a while and doing fine and then suddenly a higher level monster will appear out of nowhere and start kicking your ass. Sometimes you can get surrounded too and suddenly start to lose health really quickly. You gotta keep alert. I like the mode because I start thinking harder about the various systems in the game and how to optimize them. 

That's one of the biggest factors for me right now, time. I have so many games I want to check out, I shouldn't be trying to extrend gameplay with some dubious objectives. I'm trying to focus on the fun right now.

Co-op is great as long as everyone is about the same level. The game adjusts to the highest level character. I remember playing with Mark when he was several levels ahead of me, and I got bushwacked like crazy. I power leveled though, but it was no fun having to hang back and let him do all the fighting. I seem to remember Borderlands does this too. I kind of wish it would take an average of all the player's skill levels to determine difficulty so no one would be getting their butt kicked. 

I haven't cracked open my Lego Dimensions starter pack yet, but soon. I may pick up the Midway Fun pack (or is it a level pack?) tomorrow. 

I played Brothers and really liked it. I went back in and played it again for the remaining achievements. Oh yea, I remember the music kind of ruined it for me in some ways because it tried a little too hard to steer my emotions. I would've been fine, and been moved by it, with less music. 

I've got the original. I want to get to that. I was just listening to an interview with one of the devs of XCOM Enemy Within. That version sounds interesting as well. 

Diablo III U.E.E. is just that so far: achievements for level progression and for getting to level 70 with each character. I'm generally not going to do anything purely for achievements though. I'm just going to do what's fun and see what pops up.
