On the go gaming isn't something I especially need right now. I just hope The Switch can run some gorgeous graphics on my TV. 

Awe. Poochy! I'm looking forward to that Pikmin game. 

I keep telling myself that with Imaginators, but I got all the adventure packs already. So far this year though, I've avoided getting any more characters even though there was a buy-one-get-one-free day at Gamestop the other weekend. I still want Blaster Tron but it's not out yet, as far as I can see. 

Oh, it's not getting old. I took off from work one week and found myself playing all day, every day the entire week. I never get tired of it. I was contemplating taking the whole summer off from work. I may still do that. I think I might get tired of it after a full week, and I know I'd spend a full week playing games, oh yes I would. 

But I do my exercise and career search work during the week. I don't actually need to do anything on the weekends, I just thought that maybe my social life is a bit limited and I should make myself be open to other things. Like I avoided a phone call from a friend last week because Mark and I were on the 8th hour of a Borderlands binge. Maybe I'll answer that phone this time. 

Williams is 84 now. Wow. Maybe he's taking it easy for once. 

This guy shows a few, but there were many more in the TV series. 

I listened to an interview with the writer of Empire Cotton and he had this term "war capitalism" to describe the way European countries controled resources around the globe leading up to the 20th century. It's characterized by violence and greed. Those are like the two major things you do in Borderlands, shoot and loot. The game makes fun of it all like the way GTA makes fun at disfunctional behavior.

I especially think of it playing the game co-op because Mark and I compete for getting the loot chests. There's no system where each player gets their own loot like in Diablo. So it's every player for themselves. It can get a little bit touchy sometimes. I struggle to find the right play style to not cause trouble. That lust for loot is so strong and the game plays on that almost constantly. I thought about it today, it's like gambling for kids. No real money involved, so it's safe, but you can't wait to see what appears in that chest. It's like a slot machine. What's it gonna pay out this time. 

Totally on they're end. There's no reason why there should be slowdown. I've seen more complicated gameplay and finer graphics run perfectly smoothly in many other games on XBO. They're graphics and animations are nothing compared to some games I've played recently. I don't expect slowdown at all in Telltale's games. It baffles me. 

I'll check it out. Dragon Quest Warriors was fun to an extent. I wouldn't mind seeing the Fire Emblem characters fighting the hoards. 

I messed with the borders trying to expand the town, then I built stuff I thought was securely in the borders and they didn't register. Also, I would put what I thought were the right items in a room and still I didn't get the points. I must've just messed it up good. I'd like to go back now and start over, but I don't really have the time. Well, I'm psyched for Dragon Quest XI if it ever comes to NA. 

Wii-U getting hard to find? Darn it. I almost bought one last black friday. Now, I'm too worried about money to even think of getting one, much less a Switch. I hope, down the road, that I can still get a Wii-U when I have the dough.
