These are my Air element Skylanders from the SuperChargers game.
Bought Golf Story. It's downloading now while the Switch charges. I also played Primrose's story in Octopath Traveller. It's actually a much better story/scenario than the male warrior's, which i found a bit cliche. There's less action, but the story is interesting. I did not beat it. I faced the last boss twice, and after he killed me the second time after I had prepared for the battle, I said fuck it. Fuck it.
I have picked up a handful of more indie games on the Switch. This past week was Golf Story and Butcher... i think its called Butcher, or is it Brutal? Looks like it is Butcher. I started Golf Story, but I wasn't in the mood for a story-heavy game, so I moved onto Butcher.
Appropriately enough for October, here are the Undead element Skylanders I have for Superchargers.

Started the day by downloading the Games with Gold games. I got Gone Home: Console Edition, but I couldn't get Rayman 3 HD because it still said 9.99 when I looked up the price. It should say "free" on that screen. I tried it again at the end of the day, but it was still wrong. I'll see if that's been fixed later in the week.
First thing I did today was trade in Hey! Pikmin and put the money towards Culdcept Revolt coming on the 3rd. Then I played Fallout Shelter while Forza Horizon 2 installed and then nothing but FH2 the rest of the day.
1. Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris: I finished the main story. I started looking for collectibles. The environments are really gorgeous in that top-down perspective that reminds me of Diablo a bit. The gameplay reminded me a bit of God of War even though it's mainly shooting and not hand-to-hand or chainblade-to-hand fighting. So I searched down some collectibles until I realized you had to get all the challenges in an area for an achievement, not just the collectibles. That requires a lot of replay doing things like only using a certain weapon, or beating a boss in a certain amount of time. I was tempted but didn't go for it. Maybe later.
Been playing Mario Kart on the Switch. I must be out of it, and didn't play much of the Wii U version, cause these levels are nuts! Some I recognize but other ones are blowing my mind. And they're beautiful to look at, panoramic, and vast. Very cool.
I should've gone back to Battlefield 3 today, but that game kind of depressed me. So many realistic people gunned down in the street. I kind of didn't want to see more of that. So I tried out a bunch of stuff I got for free at one time or another in my virtual game collection on XBO.
I played some Minecraft today with Mark. The online was seriously laggy after a while, so I stopped. I literally got a message that I had been killed by a Creeper but I was still alive, I just couldn't interact with anything. I thought I had just been disconnected but somehow I left my body and it got blown up. It was a weird moment. Like I was in a dream where I didn't know that I had died. It kind of feels like my real life at the moment. That was the last straw though, so I left the game.
I like Wednesday. Wednesday means I'm almost at the weekend, I'm hitting the groove, and there's probably other things too but I'm here and let's catch up. Currently I am ripping the last two CD books in my collection and they are the CD Singles (I miss this format). This will probably take the longest because whoever wrote the tags for some of these discs are lazy. Anyways I should catch you folks up on what I've been playing.
My next Gamefly game rental will be Yooka Laylee. I've always wanted to play the Banjo Kazooie games but never got to them. This will be a similar game from Rare, so I'm excited to try it.
Had to take Mark to the doctor, so I got my business stuff done in the morning and headed over there a little early to play some games. Then I played the Etrian Odyssey V demo in the waiting room for 90 minutes. Afterwards, we got some pizza and played Minecraft the rest of the evening.
Took 12 hours, is 29 minutes long for an 8 minute song but I don't care. I'm happy. Hopefully you are too. The short version is here: https://whatsacow.bandcamp.com/track/fuckin-problems-love-again
Minecraft: I quit out of multiplayer because it was seriously not working well. There was a several second delay on just about everything you did; if I killed a cow, got an achievement, or did anything that resulted in a item drop of any sort, it would hold up. Way too annoying. So I played single player for a while and tried to dye things. Still can figure out how to dye my leather armor in the inventory. I've tried just about everything I can think of. My last resort is to make a cauldron and dye it in there. I've never tried that before, but it should work. Then I got really bored playing by myself, so I switched to the game I bought today, Halo 3: ODST.
Had some time to wait while my roommate got ready for a day out. Turned out to be quite a while and I got a lot of time in with Etrian Odyessy V demo.
I realized I had space on my computer today so I installed Stellaris again, and hope to play it a little later. But at the same time, I'm kind of pissed I need to play it on my computer - why can't I play it on my Switch? Though it is not without it's flaws, as far as I'm concerned, console gaming is sort of perfect with the Switch in that I can either play at my TV - or anywhere, without skipping a beat. While the Switch is certainly getting its share of games as time goes on, every game I want to play I end up wishing I had on the Switch. It's kind of a fucked up curse. I look at my other consoles and say to myself: "Why can't you be more like the Switch?" I end up wishing Dragon Quest VIII wasn't on 3DS, but Switch. The same for the new Final Fantasy IX and even Final Fantasy 12, which I have also been playing. If I could play these on Switch, I think I would be more productive with them.
