I'm trying to get more pics into these blogs. I've figured out how to do screenshots on my phone, and in conjunction with Onedrive, I can get these pics over to Pixlbit. 

Thor Love & Thunder

tlt

These are the Thor Happy Meal toys out right now at McDonalds. They seem to have some fuctionality with a game for tablets. The image shows putting the figure on the screen. Maybe they have a chip in them like Skylanders? I'm going to see the film later tonight. Very excited!

Microsoft Solitaire Collection

This shot just shows what variety you have to play in this game. 

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure

ssa

Broke out the Skylanders again the other day. I want to do something with them. Get them out of my hair, or something. I decided to play the first game again and see what I missed achievement-wise. Apparently quite a lot. I never even finished the main story of the game! So I'm enjoying replaying it on my Xbox 360. 

Cities Skylines: Played just briefly for rewards points. This is a neat game but not very console friendly. I laid some road, watched towns and industries be built and tried to supply them with electricity and water. I was successful but couldn't figure out the sewage problem. Oh well, what a smelly city I made. Haha. 

Screamride:

A Game with Gold freebie. Surprisingly enjoyable! In the main game you steer a rollercoaster car through a rail system and try and scare the pants off the passengers. In another mode you can create your own rollercoaster. I just played a half-dozen or so tracks, sometimes hilariously crashing and sending my riders ragdolling through the air. 

Minecraft: Got to the town with the burried Stronghold and dug down to it. Then I dug below that and found an old mine. There I found diamonds enough for a diamond pickaxe. Next time I will carve out some obsidian and build a nether portal. 

Vandal Hearts Flames of Judgment: I played a skermish map and realized why I stopped playing this way back when. The skermish maps are challenging, too challenging for low level characters like I have right now in this playthrough. That's not so bad, but when you lose, you get a game over screen. Wah? Seems a harsh penalty to me. I stopped for now. 

Might & Magic Clash of Heroes: I got the achievement for winning a match using one of the villains you fight in the campaign. You have to own the DLC to do this. I wouldn't have normally sprung $3 just to get an achievement, but I love this game and wanted all the DLC anyway. One more gettable achievement to go for overkilling an enemy by 100 points. The nongettable one is for 2v2 multiplayer, which is not going to happen since no one is online still playing this. 

Gems of War: Got another campaign task done. I realized that when you reroll a task you always get one that takes longer to accomplish. It's always for something like 75 kills of a certain color enemy. This takes a minimum of 20 battles and probably twice that. It's not so bad though because I have other objectives to work on along the way, but it does take a while. So when I finally finished the 75 kills, I stopped because I'd spent enough time in the game for one day. 

The Evil Within:

ew

This has come up as a Game Pass rewards game many times, and I've played it many times. Never that far into the game though because it's all about stealth, and I can only take just so much of that. This time I got an achievement for stealth killing 5 enemies in a row. I was getting good at sneaking up on these zombies. I stopped after chapter 2 like I usually do. 

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed: Going for a drift skill achievement with Sonic. Along the way I managed to win a few races on hard difficulty. Darn, this game is fun!

Well, that was a bunch 'o games. Looking forward to more next week.

Those Happy Meal toys look cute.  I was going to see the new Thor movie with my brother, but he went and saw it with friends so I guess I'll just wait until it hits Disney+.  Shouldn't be too long, since the new Dr. Strange movie came out on Disney+ a couple of weeks ago.  I'll probably see the Lightyear movie that way also.

I got two happy meals from different McDonalds, but I got the same figure both times. I'm not collecting them though. I was just hoping to have two different ones. Two Thors aren't bad though.

I have the same thoughts on Evil Within. 

I like Sonic All-Star racers too. 

I dug Love and Thunder, though not as much as Ragnarok.

I'm with you on Thor. Ragnarok was better. 

I enjoyed Love and Thunder but, in hindsight, I have a lot of questions about it.

Really? Like what?

Nothing really stood out to me as a plot hole or confusing. I did like the villain because ... I mean, he had a point.

Oh, like when Moljnor breaks Gorr's sword and the fragments seem to get absorbed by the hammer. Well, did it destroy the fragments, or is Mjolinar tainted now and cursed? I think it would be an insteresting choice to make it cursed but nothing is said about it. 

Come to think of it now, I can't remember what else I have questions about. I guess that's a good thing. Oh, and I loved the beginning "Thor adventure" with the Guardians of the Galaxy. I almost wish the whole movie was that, but then it would be more a spoof than a Thor movie. 

I discovered Gorr the God Butcher was Christian Bale! He was great. There's a moment where they're on the moon in the dark dimension (or whatever they called that place) and they show Gorr standing there mostly in silowet (spelling) holding his sword. It was so like a still from a Souls game. I loved it! 

Then I discovered Christian Bale was the lead in the movie American Psycho! In that light, he was an interesting choice for the Batman movies later on.

I'm genuinely surprised you didn't know that was Christian Bale, but now I'm wondering if I can blow your mind by telling you he's British. lol

Yeah, I didn't recognize him right away. I just thought after the movie, that Gorr guy was really good, I wonder who the actor was. British too. I didn't know that either.
