I finally set up my new OLED Switch. Boy this thing is small. It's even a third of the size of my Xbox Series S, which seemed small to me for an Xbox console. The Switch has such a minimalist design. Those joycons are so small. I couldn't figure out how everything plugged into the holder until I popped the little piece of plastic off the side to expose the jacks for the HDMI and power cord. This is such a Japanese design. There is no waste of space. It all fits together like a work of origami. 

Both my friend and I beat the main story in Lego Batman 2 this week but there is plenty left to explore in this, one of the first if not the first, open-world Lego game. 

I made up my own list of 41 PC games from several lists online. It's basically one for every year 1981 to the present. I rolled Jet Pac from 1983. Luckily I could play it right away within Rare Replay on Xbox Series S. I used to own it on disc but it's on Game Pass now anyway. There was even the Jet Pac Refueled remake in that collection which I played as well. 

I rolled "arcade" on my consoles list and then Stargate (Defender II). I played it within Midway Arcade Origins on Xbox Series S. 

I randomly chose on Gamesradar's top 25 Atari 2600 games Yars' Revenge (this was before I created my own list). I played three versions: on Xbox 360 within the Game Room app, the reimagined game titled Yar's Revenge that's still available for Xbox 360, and the port within Atari Flashback Classics Vol. 1 on Xbox Series S. 

It seems, every once in a while, I get on a list kick with games, music, or film and can't stop researching and making them. Well, I'm on a list binge right now with games. 

Had a half-day to play. My wacky weekend is Tues/Wed this week. 

It threatened to snow so much, they closed my library. Turns out all we got was a dusting and some ice. But I didn't have to work, so I gamed it up with my gaming buddy. I played on Wii-U and Xbox Series S. 

You are crossing the wide expanse of Lemurian grasslands to reach the mystical gardens of Ur where the crystal goblet Crystofel is guarded by the Lamia of the Fountains of Lamneth.

I guess I celebrated Mario in a way by playing my randomly sampled game, Super Smash Bros. on Wii-U. I randomly rolled the Wii-U and the number 3. The game was number 3 on Metacritic's list of best Wii-U games.
