I've noticed on IGN, via their podcasts, that they will have reviewers who are hardcore into a certain game do the review because they know it best for the community that plays it 1K hours or more. Destiny 2 was the example. It seems like they are very conscious of the player base and who will read the review. They want to get it right for that community, so they put the right people on it. IGN is, I think, read by gamers and not the general public, so of course they do that. So I totally agree that you have to think about your audience when you write a review. At the same time, you have to give your opinion and the people on the podcasts have talked about that too. Every review is the opinion of the reviewer. At the same time, they try and put someone on it who knows the game, the genre and the community connected to that game. 

I haven't heard a Souls reference in a little while now. I guess a Bloodborne 2 is possible sometime next year though? I've got to play some more Souls stuff. I think I've grown a little more patience now to handle them. 

Andromeda is really cheap right now. I almost bought it the other day on Gamefly. I think I could've gotten it for $12 after they gave me $5 to spend. I may just do it. 

I looked up core strength exercises on Mayo Clinic's web site and found a nice set of easy exercises that I do just after I wake up in the morning. I actually do the first set while I'm still in bed. Then I have a mat on the floor next to the bed to do some of the others. I sort of don't let myself get up without doing them. Also, being able to do some of them while still in bed makes it easy to just make them part of getting up in the morning. 

Some don't go for the more sim elements of it, I guess. It's really fun trying to please or provoke people with expressions. 

That's more dodge ball games than I thought existed. 

Yea, I seem to remember it being just meh. 

The first time I played it I didn't even go to the Spire, or stopped just before it, for some reason. I know because when I did the first Spire mission this time, I got the achievement for it. I thought that would be the end, but there's much more game to go. 

I did the marriage thing just before the Spire without really thinking about it. You're gone for 10 years in the Spire, so I shouldn't have been surprised to see a 10 year old child when I went back to the marriage house afterwards, but I was. 

I think I might've missed the achievement for sacrificing 10 people in the Temple of Shadows before I went to the Spire. I figure that part is early in the game, and I won't be unhappy to restart another character just to get that later on. 

I was just thinking the other day about all the games I have now on XBO that are in my library but not actually installed on my system. If the service goes, so does all those games, unless I download them all to an external hard drive. I dont' really want to do that but I'll keep an ear out for any future changes and then maybe I will install them all so I don't lose them. 

I still have my Wii VC games on a memory stick. I should go check if I still have some points there, but I probably wont because I don't want to hook it up again. But I may. Grab that last game before it disappears. 

I'm still buying physical copies for any games I really want. All these downloadables are mostly free stuff I got, or stuff I got super cheap on sales. I'll be annoyed but not crazy mad if they disappear. Well, I might get mad. 

I have a Playstation game called All-Star Slammin' D-Ball. I think that's the only dodge ball game I have played.
