Yes, the obsession with Forza has begun and it is now the number 8 most played game for me this year and rising fast. I've just passed level 50 with no real end in sight. I've never seen a map screen more full of races and other points of interest. New ones get added as I complete challenges and as the seasons pass. Then there are the multiplayer events called Forzathons that happen every few hours or so. When it pops up, you head to the location on your map and suddenly, seemlessly, you are in multiplayer surrounded by other players. As a group you go off to complete various challenges within a set amount of time. This game has endless variety, it seems. 

Well hello Friday and thank you for sticking with the trend of below normal temperatures. It is really nice to be able to keep the windows open past noon especially for the last couple of months it has been all about the air conditioning. Anyways on Wednesday I wrote about my experiences at my garage sale and it continues but later on in this rambling piece I like to call Quick Hits. Today is mostly about the random things I bought over the past couple of weeks, and if that doesn’t interest you, we’re still good and I’ll see you on Monday when I complain about whatever game I’m playing. For everyone else let’s get started because it’s Friday, and I kinda want an ice coffee and donut, and the closest thing that offers both is Dunkin so I’ll be there after I finish here.

the other day I had finished up Iconoclasts, and already was planning on playing Timespinner next.  I started it yesterday, and somehow finished it today.  Here are some of my thoughts.

There’s a new fighting game starring all sorts of video game characters, and no it’s not Smash Bros.  If you were upset that Shovel Knight is just an assist trophy in the new Smash, well this may be the game for you.  Blade Strangers is a 2-D one-on-one fighter featuring characters from games like Shovel Knight, Code of Princess, Cave Story, The Binding of Isaac, and Umihara Kawase.  Since the characters are interesting enough, here’s a blog about them!

So here we are on Wednesday and I have to admit it is really freaking nice outside right now. Yesterday the windows were all open up until around 3-4pm when it started to get a little warm but damn I am excited for the change in the weather. Good morning Pixlpeeps! I was going to post what I wrote on my iPad on Monday but it was a holiday so I was being all lazy, and then I figured why not just rewrite what I wrote but take out some of the excess so here we are, with another Combo Blog!

I finished up Iconoclasts yesterday.  I did enjoy my time with the game, so here are some final thoughts on Iconoclasts.

I didn't tell you guys yet, but last week I bought a 2TB drive for my PS4. I did it mostly because I heard the news Red Dead Redemption 2 needs a mandatory 100 gig install. I installed it Friday night. It went okay, except when it was time to boot up the PS4 I had the wrong system software - I had the update, not the full software. After that it went fine. Now I have a crapload of space. I reinstalled all my games, but Final Fantasy XV needed a 29 gig update. I told Joaquim and Yarger most of that is the lead character's hair, ha ha.
