I ended today thinking, this is the last of my great gaming binges. It may not be, but I kind of feel like a change is happening. This weekend I have plans for other things, and next week I'll begin a new schedule; although, not a new job - yet. I'm not sure how gaming is going to fit into it all, but we'll see. Anywho, here's a breakdown of today's gaming. 

It wasn't all fun today as I helped Mark (who's wheelchair bound btw) build some shelving and move some cabinetry around his apartment. But then it was all fun. Mostly the same as yesterday. Defense Grid 2 and Minecraft. 

Mostly too down to really say much but I'll say this, I do like a bit of permadeath when playing Minecraft. Set the game to not regen health, hard difficulty, survival mode and don't allow yourself a respawn. The game lasts, for me, around 25 minutes to an hour before something terrible happens and I die.

Trying to ease my mind again today as I wait for a call to work. It was play-food and tv-games on the XBO. The play-food was a chicken parm grinder, fries, and a diet Dr. Pepper. And the XBO tv-games were Defense Grid 2 and Minecraft, just like yesterday. 

Well, this was the last Monday that I'll treat as a Sunday. I'm going back to a Mon-Fri schedule next week to research jobs. Good thing is, I'll have a normal Sat-Sun weekend for a while. So what did I do to try and relax after a very crazy week? First, I almost got into a car accident. A little carelessness can go a long way towards ruining your day. Luckily, it was just a slight bump with no damage. Second, I played Defense Grid 2 and Minecraft with Mark - again. 

Troubling times for me this week, so I kept it simple with Minecraft and Defense Grid 2. 

More Skylanders Superchargers today. 

Lots of stress for me this week with a change in management at my work. The unknown, waiting for the new boss to show, is worse than anything. I think I went through several levels of depression and anxiety this week and it's not over yet, not until Tuesday and I go back to work and see what's what. So I've been having trouble completely enjoying the games I've been playing, but I played them nonetheless: a short session on Saturday playing Peggle and Defense Grid 2, and then a whole day of it on Sunday with Skylanders Superchargers. Breakdown ensues (although not my mental breakdown. That's incomplete and hopfully stays that way). 

Gamestop's having their 3-for-2 sale on Wii games this week, so I bought a bunch. Here's a pic:

I know I said I wouldn't do it, but I did anyway. I thought about how some rpgs on Nintendo systems tend to go scarce out here in the wild soon after release, so I thought I'd better lock this one up.
