Just an interactive novel where you learn the true depth of sorrow as a valkyrie who rescues the souls of dead soldiers and brings them to valhalla. Did you know crying is quite exhausting after a while? I mean, who can do ten hours of this? I wiped my eyes and played the following three games instead. 

An anthropomorphic animal high school where young furries have to perform trials, not unlike those in Hunger Games, or face starvation. I found the story and relationships gripping, but the targeting controls were terrible. I had to play a pin-the-tail-on-the-furry minigame that was near impossible. That tail looked funny on a nose though. I went and played the following four games and watched a tv episode instead. 

2004 was more pizza and music, but I do remember going to my dad's summer beach house in North Carolina. We had fun fishing, going to book stores and eating out. The drive from Philly was fun too. 7 1/2 hours with a stop on the Cheasapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel. I also enjoyed the following media.  

My angel faction is so rad! These winged badies can wreck demon butt and perform a mean flying circus to boot. I got them tricked out with platinum wings, diamond mind bullets and radiance shock halos. I'm taking down RAID bosses with ease in this MMO. Thing is, Darla can only play on Wednesdays, Bob on Thursdays, Jeremy on Saturday night and Tamara on Sunday afternoon. It got so tricky getting people together, I played the following three games, watched a tv episode and downloaded two new games instead. 

I've organized this according to my usual routine when I sit down to play stuff on the weekend.

What's a rpg/action platformer/brawler mashup where you also harvest resources like? It's just like Rogue Blob Heroes and its Gears Farm expansion. Thing is, I got annoyed that while I was away jumping and slashing my way to fame and fortune, my farm was getting raided by vacuum goblins sucking up all my juicy fruit. It drove me so nuts, I rage quit and played the following five games instead. 

Nothing much to tell about me in 2003. It was kind of the same as 2002, music and pizza. I took in a lot of media though. Here are my favorites. 

In this game you learn the power of observation. Microsoft's new, and smaller, halo ring orbits earth so you can observe your gears farms and take notes. The stats help your farmers know what to grow next and complete innovative machines for Microsoft. It's like a sports management sim except for tech. You highlight things as you speed past the farms and then pour over spreadsheets. Then you call up your middle managers to tell then what to do. I liked the visuals from space but gameplay is more like a real job than I could stand, so I played these other five games. 

Solitaire played with a mandatory five people, couch co-op, with one controller. This series is absurd. Who does this sort of thing? Apparently it's quite popular though. In this fifth installment you use the solitaire gameplay to fight mythological beasts and outwit a complex conversation system in an epic tale of desperate battles, betrayal and deceit. I would've loved it if I didn't need five couches for social distancing. I played the following seven games instead. 

'02 was fair for me. Nothing special happened for me that year, just more pizza delivery and jam sessions, two great tastes that taste great together.
