I got the 500 Carriers achievment in EDF 2025 and began season 3 of TellTale's Batman. There are new Game Pass rewards quests and tomorrow new free Games with Gold. The achievement leaderboards have also reset for the new month. I was first among my friends in March. I'm not sure how much I'll really try for it again in April, but it's fun to pretend I'm going all out. 

I hate to admit it, but I’ve had a hard time dealing with all this Coronavirus stuff.  Well, I guess it hasn’t been TOO bad, but bad enough that I’m a bit disappointed with myself for not dealing with it better.  But I’m still really scared and anxious about all of it.  I have to say that I’m super happy that Animal Crossing: New Horizons came out when it did.  Couldn’t have come out at a better time.  It gave me a sense of normalcy and saneness during all of this.  I’m also glad that I’m still able to review games for that same sense of normalcy.  Speaking of which, here are more games I’ve reviewed lately over at GamerDad.com.  Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d really appreciate it!

It’s Tuesday and I need to get up in 5 minutes so let’s see if I can bang this one out. It’s 7:56am…and go!

Mark and I both finished all the side quests and achievements for the new DLC today, not without some trouble either. I ended up returning to my True Vault Hunter, Mayhem level 2 playthrough to finish everything. At the end of the day I was on Mayhem 4, the max difficulty for now. It was fun overall. I like completing games when I can, which isn't often. 

You would think that since I have more time for games I would mix in more games into my routine but that is not the case. I’ve been alternating my free time like this: one day I’ll do nothing but sort my music files, add songs to my music player, etc. The next day I will do nothing but sort through my trading cards, doing a priliminary weeding out of copies and then do something else. Actually I know I have a couple of hockey boxes floating around somewhere that I need to find. Those days usually alternate with a random Netflix binge watch, WWE Network binge watch, or my favorite I build a little pillow fort, stick my head inside and take a nap. Here’s the games I’ve actually been playing:

This is how I see my friend Mark and I. He's the soldier and I'm the explorer. This sometimes results in conflict during co-op gaming, like today when we finished the Guns, Love and Tentacles DLC for Borderlands 3. 

Borderlands 3 DLC for the most part today, but it frustrated me, as Borderlands games do from time to time, and I tried a few other games while I cooled off enough to return to it. 

1. I rather expected more zombies and fewer TP hoarders when the apocalypse came.

One of the benefits of working for a university is when spring break period approaches. Activity on the campus dies down so detail cleaning or special projects can be completed. The Friday of this period also is recognized as an observed holiday for staff. Since the week started, all campus buildings were put on lockdown due to safety measures regarding COVID-19 so only essential personnel are allowed. This of course includes custodians. I have vacation days but I'm bad about using them as much so to wake up on a Friday in which I don't have to go anywhere feels perfect.
