I beat the story mode in Super Bomberman R (a Games with Gold freebie) and then got all the Stunt Rings in Crackdown 3 for an achievement. Between the two, I experienced quite a lot of boom.

I ticked off a few more achievements in Crackdown 3: riding the Agency Spider vehicle up 3000 feet and getting gold on all Rooftop Races. These were sidelights to my real aim, though, and that was hunting those darn orbs.

Oh, it’s just like Advance Wars in a medieval setting. It even looks a lot like Advance Wars. I’m taken back to my 2004 fat DS and those chubby, cute sprites of tanks, soldiers and planes. Here it’s lancers, swordsmen, rangers (my favorite) and wagons (Maybe later it becomes modern? I’ve seen some screenshots of tanks and such). I was immediately hooked but someone anticipating an upcoming struggle with difficulty.

Let me describe my history with this dance move, because it has haunted me for a month now ever since I first saw it.

I just finished watching this on Netflix. It's a Netflix exclusive show and not even on DVD. Once a year I get Netflix just to watch it and nothing else. 

I just realized that the voice of Kaos in the Skylanders Academy TV show (and games) and the voice of Orthopox 13, Crypto’s boss, in the Destroy All Humans! series are one and the same, Richard Steven Horvitz.

Sounds provocative doesn’t it, but they are just the two themes I’m using for March to guide my media choices. That is, besides the media that actually releases this month and makes my eyes pop out in excitement. Call these themes, tools to determine my backup plans.

Mark and I played the entire campaign in co-op today. We didn’t get that achievement at the end though. I'm not sure why. Then we spent a lot of time hunting orbs. driving cars through stunt rings and battling security forces. It was a lot of fun.

Mark and I hunted down the last of the evil doer’s assets in Crackdown 3. Then I got silver on every Rooftop Race and Driving challenge. I messed around with wall climbing in a car. Finally, I started a Legendary playthrough to see how tough the game gets.

I’m about done with Crackdown 3. I’ve been chasing achievements and playing a little multiplayer, but I’m losing my interest. I may go play Wargroove instead.
