Something I've learned in the last few days is that sometimes a game seems bad when you haven't used all the tools given you in the game. I've discovered that games are actually very complex and difficult to master. It often is, after a first playthrough and into a second, that I really come to grips with everything a game can do. My failures the first time around are solved in subsequent plays. Case in point, Deadpool. Details in the following notes. 

The library didn't have my God of War yet when I went there yesterday, so I picked out something else for the day. Since I'm seeing Deadpool 2 in a few weeks, I thought I finally play the game that came out with the first movie. This is the Xbox One version that got rereleased a few years later. I sat down to play it and stayed with it all the way, well almost all the way, to the end. 

Played a lot of Super Mega Baseball 2 today, tried out Mega Man Legacy Collection, and cooled down with some deBlob 2. 

Played a lot of retro stuff on Xbox One today, and one new release. Kind of a lot so here's a list. 

I got stuck in so many games today. At least they're off my list for now. Here's a list and how I got stuck, or not in a few cases.

I like to dabble in some retro every month. May will be the years '85-'89. These are still the arcade years but it's also about the NES. 

I managed to get every achievement but one in the game. That last one is for beating the game on the hardest difficulty. I think you only have to beat the final level at that difficulty, but I had a hard enough time beating it on medium. I did try it anyway. Even with all the upgrades, I got stuck in a room just before the final battle where you get mobbed by a dozen giant rock trolls. Not enough room and too much damage taken. It felt impossible. Fun game though. I enjoyed it's Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance style gameplay. Merida must have a wagon train of arrows following her. I probably shot them in the 10s of thousands.

I started getting obsessed with this list of games I can play on XBO and PS4. Through various free giveaways and backward compatibility, I have a lot of choices. So I looked up all their play times and listed them from shortest to longest. Part of doing this is to compete on the achievement leaderboards, if possible; but it's also to knock a bunch of stuff off my immense backlog list. 

Yes, there's more. These are the Star Wars Rebels figures. All of them came out with wave 1. Here's my pic:

I'm still on Wave 1 releases of Disney Infinity 3.0, or you could call it Disney Infinity: Star Wars. I don't know why they didn't call it that. 2.0 was called Marvel Super Heroes. There are other franchises within 3.0, but it's mostly all about Star Wars in its various incarnations. What I have here are all the figures from the original trilogy that got released in wave 1. Of all the figures, these I had to have for sure. Here's a pic:
