Just played some Defense Grid 2 today with Mark. We played the campaign levels co-op to get gold medals. I have two or three left now. I wish you could toggle the speed during co-op matches. These 35 wave battles take a good long time to complete at 1X speed. I changed the default speed in the settings to 2X but it didn't seem to affect online play. In single player, you can crank it up to 3X speed which is very nice. Defense Grid 2 is a somewhat laid back experience, which is all I could handle today anyway.
I didn't mention in my other blogs that I've been watching video game commercials for the last few weeks. I made a playlist for each year and watched them on my XBO first thing when I went over to Mark's to play. I started at 1980 and now I'm at 1991. I've been watching the Japanese commercials as well. It's a fun way to start a period of gaming, and a bit of a history lesson as well.
Well, that's all I got because what I got right now ain't a lot. Too down to really get into it like I want to. Seems hobbies aren't as fun without having to abstain from them to do work. Here's to hoping for the future. Bye.

Little bit better right now. Talked to some people I was working with. Maybe I have a plan?
plans are good.
Went back and read your two previous blogs. Sucks when plans fall apart. Sometimes a change is what you need. I hope things start to work out...without taking away all your gaming time. Earthlock isn't going to play itself 
Thanks. I have some hope this week. We'll see.
Hey if you like Minecraft AND Dragon Quest, I've got a game for you. I just got back from PAX and played Dragon Quest Builders and I thought of you as that's basically what the game is.
ooo! I want that game. Hope I'm working soon because right now purchases are off the table.
oh really, Cary? You played that there? I'm looking forward to your thoughts on it.
