I was going to get back to playing Halo 5 today, but when I heard there was new content and achievements in Minecraft, I went right back to it. By the end of my night, though, I was getting pretty tired of it, and I decided would put it down for tomorrow (my weekend right now is Fri-Sat).

You'd think Minecraft was a peaceful game of mining and crafting, but I spent a lot of time killing things and watching things get killed today. 

These are the figures I have in this category.

I couldn’t get interested in any other game today, so I played Minecraft. I’ve decided that the ultimate fun in this game isn’t killing the Ender Dragon, but gaining the ability to enchant all your gear.

God Wars didn’t look as good as I expected. Its art style is appealing, but it wasn’t as richly detailed as I expected. It reminded me of the Xbox 360 downloadable game Vandal Hearts: Flames of Judgment from 2010. I’d say God Wars wasn’t much of a graphical improvement over that game. But I like grid based strategy RPGs, and this one was just fine in that way. However, after about three hours, the game kicked me out to update itself, and I lost about a half hour of gameplay. Well, I didn’t feel strongly enough about the game to continue.

Madden 18. It seems there is going to be some story in this one.

I was really burnt out on all the nonsense I’ve had to deal with the last few months, so I couldn’t continue the boss battlefest of Blue Dragon, and played Minecraft instead.

Mario and Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. Turn-based tactical gameplay. It reminds me of Worms 3D. That appeals to me, but it might not to the Mario fanbase. Shigeru Miyamoto being on stage was fun to watch.

I watched this video today of the E3 Bethesda Press Conference, and I’m left saying to myself, “this is the best video game company out there.”. Skyrim and Fallout 4 mods, Evil Within 2, Doom VFR, Wolfenstein II, Quake, and Dishonored: Death of the Outsider. All this stuff was just incredible! I’m super excited. 

I played a little bit more Blue Dragon today. Sometimes it feels like it should be called Blue Wagon because it can be a labor of tedious searching of furniture and fighting off minor monster encounters. But it’s not as bad as Suikoden IV, which made me quit it was so annoying; plagued as it was with random encounters that interrupted the flow of play.
