Same Old, Same Old

The end of the school year is approaching--slowly, but surely, and the looming and always exciting period of early summer has me thinking about my gaming conquests.  A few titles on my wishlist are looking to be non-starters--Cook Serve Forever, which recently released and is in early access has mixed reviews.  Apparently it's more of a story-based spinoff that doesn't continue the keyboard-mashing, restaurant building tradition of the earlier games.  I think I'll be skipping it (or waiting until a full release sale price comes around...so, that could be awhile).  I'm still semi-watching the Diablo IV news, but that $69.99 price tag seems a bit steep for me.  So, who knows that the summer will hold--there are a few indies with overwhelmingly positive reviews that I'm interested in.

I'm currently continuing my The Witcher 3 next-gen playthrough (still a smidgen glitchy) and have reached Toussaint--the most beautiful place in the game (I love it!).  I wish all big RPG's that span multiple games would include a final, great DLC with a positive sendoff for our favorite heroes (like Mass Effect's "Citadel" DLC or "Blood and Wine").  Yeah, it's definitely fan service, but it's the fans who are laying down the cash, so why not?

Gearlt ponders his next move.

The new photomode is a nice addition and I've snapped a few heroic pics of Geralt in all his beardy, black leather glory.  My collection of Toussaint screenshots is sorely lacking, so there's a goal.

If you're a teacher who is still in school--the time is coming, hang in there.  I feel your pain and am looking forward to June 13th (our last school day).  May your summer dreams be fruitful and you find the strength to survive the absolute doldrums of the school year.  Amen.
