I just can’t stop. I’ve got 49 games in my all-time list to build my library from, and I go another page on Metacritic to get more. What’s up with that? It's listomania. I think I’ll stop at games with a score of 90 and then search some other lists to get older games. This current list includes games rated at 91, so I’m almost done.

I played as much of Half-Life 2 as I care to this month. After that I tried out Pillars of Eternity and then went back to chasing rewards points, which let me to playing several other games; all this over a couple of days I call my weekend: Thursday evening and all day Friday. This will change (to what I’m not sure) next week as I switch to a M-F work schedule. So on to details.

Here’s a continuation of my list chosen using Metacritic’s "All Time Games" as a rough guide. I went through page two and made the list below. One failing in the Metacritic list is that it only goes back as far as 1996. I’ll need a list that includes 80s and early 90s games eventually. For this list, I’ve put my preferred console(s) next to each entry.

I forgot to mention the other day I also played some Forza Horizon 4. I found they added a few things and went about doing them.

I missed the first two days of BaD. I have an excuse. I was sick; chest colds are terrible things. So this is a three-in-one covering what I played last week.

For a while there, I had forgotten about being able to save video and screen shots on Xbox. I'm back at it though. Here are a few recent ones. 

I’ve started a row on my bookshelf for a games library. I used metacritic’s all-time highest rated database as a guide. I went down the list and picked games that I wanted to play again and ones I’ve been desperate to play for years. Here’s the list I made from page one.

That means 90 emeralds left on the 1000 emeralds achievement for Minecraft Xbox One Edition. I tried something new this time instead of just working my system from previous days. It didn’t really work too well. Here’s why.

I made some serious progress on Minecraft's 1000 Emeralds achievement the other day. I broke my own record and now the end is in sight. Here’s how it went.

I cleared off all my toys-to-life stuff from my gaming rig the other day and prepared my system for a new focus on a games list I made up. I was prepared to play the first game on the list when Minecraft happened. Mark was playing it when I got to his place, so I jumped in and it became a kind of obsession to make progress on the 1000 emeralds achievement. I have 11 days left if I want the rewards points as well.
