I want to attach balloons to everything. 

I've begun to let go of the need for physical copies of things. Maybe its just the access. Having the access to every piece of music imaginable kind of killed the magic of searching for new music for me. Is that going to happen with games? I fear it might. 

I cried so many times in Kane & Lynch 2. Bad man's girlfriend gets abducted. Bad man's child is waiting for him to make the score so she can eat. Two bad men have to fight off mean bullies who took their clothes. I was a wreck. 

But seriously. . .  I wanted to cry loudly at the end of RiME, but manly men don't cry together unless they are Kane and Lynch. Poor bad men. 

In a third attempt to take this seriously. . .  Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons pulled at my heartstrings. I wanted to cry but the music stole my emotions. A little bit overdone, guys. Subtlety. Subtlety. 

I'm considering making that '67 Pontiac GTO "my car" but it really belongs to someone older. I should have a car from about '84 when I learned to drive. I'll have to think about it, but I do love that '67 Pontiac. 

I feel a little bit like this image from Bulb Boy:

I have all the Metro games on my Xbox from either sales or Games with Gold. With my new games list, I might actually get to one of them. Ah yes, 2033 and Last light were free back in 2015. I want to read the books they were based on too. Such an interesting story. 

I was just thinking the other day, as I repeated a level in Kane & Lynch 2 about a dozen times, I don't necessarily dislike repetition. I think it's those jumping mechanics in 2D platformers. It's always the jumping that drives me bananas. 

Duke Nukem Manhatten Project out in the early 2000s was also a side scroller. I played that one on PC way back. It had some funny one-liners and was ok as a game. It was nearly unplayable on console though. I tried it on Xbox 360 a while back. 

I just got it in the mail. I have to wait until Saturday to try it though. Bah!

I'm curious about the crafting system. I love building new gear in a game.
