Finished the main story of Like a Dragon: Ishin! over the weekend. Did a few more things and decided to call it quits once I realized the massive chain of events I needed to complete to advance some of the side content and bailed.

Started Kena Bridge of Spirits yesterday and I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far. Game play has elements of Okami, Horizon, and Pikmin, to name 3. This seems like the perfect game to fill the time until the Horizon DLC hits.

Warp Zone was awesome. Just walking around in there has given me pause about selling off my collection. I saw stuff that I didn't even know existed, including a bespoke $1200 Atari 2600.

It's a very cool place. Wish it wasn't 30 minutes away from me...though that's probably a good thing lol.

Yeah, I was talking to the owner. I told him a guy from Monroeville turned me onto it and that I had driven by their building hundreds of times and never stopped in. MAGA Dad lives just over the hill near the Cedar Street exit.

Lunch at South Greensburg Restaurant and a short walk to Warp Zone is a pretty good afternoon, IMO.

It's a good thing I don't live by there. I'd be there all the time and be broke.

The Negro Leagues stuff in the Show is cool as hell

[dodint]

Yeah, I might pick it up just for that.

I have had the urge to go back and play Myst and Riven. I played mostly on the original PlayStation. That generation of PlayStation is the only one I don't still have. Did some reading and remembered the PS2 and PS3 are backwards compatible to PSX. Yay! Ran downstairs and looked through all those boxes and...no Myst or Riven. (I did find Myst for Sega Saturn, cool big box art, but...no)

I found the rest of my PSX games. I must have traded Myst and Riven at EB like 20 years ago because they are puzzle games with little replay value.

I'll have to stop in at Warp Zone tomorrow and see if they have it. I can't believe folks want $20 and shipping on eBay for one of the highest production run games ever.

In the meantime I am going to play some Backstreet Billiards. Great PSX game.

Wasn't there a crowd fund campaign to port Myst to PS4 recently? It was one of those things I swear I saw as a headline in a newsletter email or something, but I didn't actually read the story.

[dodint]

Dunno.

Played for a few hours last night. It's one of those "I'll quit in just one more..." and it's two hours later.

Xbox needs some new big releases. I can't recall the last big one, but there is nothing new that really interests me, so I continue to play a broken Halo Infinite.

This is gonna be fun

[the wicked child]

Looks fantastic.

[eddy]

That trailer did a lot more for this game than anything that came before it. So much for a rehash of BoTW, this looks awesome

[shafnutz05]

That trailer looks awesome. So is this set right before Link goes into hibernation for a century?

[Kane]

That looks dope as hell.

Finished the main story on Kena Bridge of Spirits earlier. Still want to clean up some of the collectibles before I call it a day.

Pretty fun little game overall, but the platforming section during the final boss fight made me curse like a sailor.

Retrograde held a fighting tourney today and I got peer pressured into joining.

It was Tekken 7 and Soul Calibur 6 I think. I actually held my own and win a few rounds but no actual matches. No one flawless/perfect beat me either. Lots of people with dedicated fight sticks so they were playing for real.

Had a good time though met some cool people and no one gave me too much **** about sucking lol. I'd do another one after actually practicing a bit. I played soul calibur 1 on Dreamcast and Tekken way back on PS1.

I picked up Batman for the NES complete in box pretty much mint so pumped for that.

I also got to hold a Earthbound SNES game complete in box (big box) with everything mint on the inside. It was gorgeous. Has the scratch and sniffs and everything. Not my type of game but holding it was cool.

[meow]

NES Batman level one is my current ringtone

Contra level clear is my text notification

I have had the urge to go back and play Myst and Riven.

I didn't know Cyan had a new project coming out. I guess it was announced in 2018 but is being released next month. It'll probably take me the summer to play up through the Myst series but I'm looking forward to it. It's getting a PS4 release so I won't have to play it on PC.

Myst, but steampunk.

Finished the main story quest in the Horizon Burning Shores DLC today. Pretty good, easily the best final boss of any of the games thus far.

Still plenty of exploring to do, a bunch of islands I never even touched during normal play. Goddamn, I missed this game. So fun even just exploring.

Still playing Hyrule Warriors. I'm about 94% of the way through. Beat the entire story line, got all the Korok sees and treasure chests so that is 100% done.

I have like 10 more challenges to complete. I'm pretty good with most, but really struggling on one where you have to beat 3 Lynel (2 at once) w/o using any items. That is the one I'm worried about not beating.

Got all the quests complete that I can, just need to beat the afformentioned challenges to get the crystals.

I'm still going, just a little bit more. Then I'll start up Metroid Dread before jumping into Zelda 2.

Went to The Exchange for the first time. Pretty neat. They had a bunch of original XBox games I wanted. I would have bought more if I could peruse the glass cases on my own, though.

Went in for a $7 exploit game (Splinter Cell) and left $45 poorer. They had a copy of Jurassic Park Operation Genesis but at $80 I will keep looking.
