Well, I'm out of work again, and so, today, since I have my school work done already for the week, I went on a photo shoot with Mark and then played some Forza Horizon. Then I heard on the Axe of the Blood God podcast (Kat Bailey - remember her from 1UP?) on my way home, that there was a Etrian Odyssey V demo on the 3DS eshop. So I'm downloading it as I write this. Oh, yes, it's done!

I am now on the Superchargers figures. This is the fifth game in the series. It came out in 2015, which is about when I started collecting them because Superchargers didn't do as well as the previous games and Gamestop started their buy 1-get-2-free sale on figures right after the holidays. All the game starter packs were marked down too. 

Here are some figures I have that aren't Cores, Elites or Legendaries. They're just special figures made to celebrate a holiday, season or what have you. 

More Forza Horizon today. I played a lot of multiplayer for achievements. I got in on a group to play the Playground mode which is three gameplay styles (Infection, Cat and Mouse and King). Infection has one car be infected and the rest run from it until everyone is infected. The one who lasts longest wins. Cat and Mouse is a race where there's two teams, cat and mouse, and the cats try and stop the mouse team from finishing the race (only a mouse can win the race). King is like the inverse of Infected. One is labeled King and the rest have to steal his kingship by hitting him. The one who remains king longest wins.

I decided to take advantage of a lot of free stuff on Xbox Live today. I downloaded the new Games with Gold titles, Battlefield 3 and Oxenfree. Then I went to the free section of the store and downloaded Minecraft Story Mode Ep. 1, Dungeon Defenders II, Life is Strange, Fallout Shelter (my real reason to look at free stuff), Gwent: The Witcher Card Game, Prominence Poker (by, I think, the guys who did the Borderlands themed Poker Night on XBLA a while back - same art style), and A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV (I love the retro look of it). Then I ignored all that while they installed and played Forza Horizon ALL DAY with Mark. 

I downloaded and played a few hours of Monster Hunter Stories. So far, I really love it. It's so colorful, like a cell shaded game, and the design is complex but not overly so, which makes it kind of perfect for a handheld game. The colors really pop and it's easy to navigate on those small screens. I like the gameplay too. Turn-based RPG, oh yea. I like. It's just the demo though. I might rent the full game when I'm finished (I'm still on "no-buy" status). We'll see. 

These are the legendary figures I have for Trap Team. I have two of the four that were made for this game. 

But first, I managed to clear the first area in Crystal Defenders and I got a screen shot to prove it. 

I got way into Forza Horizon today and even more so because Mark found the game on his system. So we both played it a lot. But I also played some other stuff before he discovered it. 

I bought Lego Indiana Jones today. It became backwards compatible for XBO earlier this year. I'd played it before, but didn't complete it. I looked up the achievements and it looks like I played through the main story and that was it. I didn't go for all the collectibles. Well, I will now. But, I just installed the game and played some other stuff today.
