That wardrobe, though!

Hadn't been all that focused on any particular game the past few months until I finally got around to Super Mario Odyssey, and then binged that one hard; 363 Moons in 48 hours, and still going. Not sure how I feel about the boss rush post-game content, but I'm gonna try to get to 500. Overall though? Killer app, masterpiece, instant classic, etc... You get the idea.

  • The Missing Link was alright; not as bad as I'd heard, but I'd've been fine having never played it.
  • Jensen's Stories were fun, but didn't feel as polished as the main game.
  • Sam's Story was pretty good, but I preferred the main campaign and The Two Colonels.
  • Enhanced Edition is cool, but I really only jumped to a few favourite scenes; not gonna re-play the whole game.
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War was fun; single-player offers a solid story with some really cool moments, and the overall campaign has pretty high production values; but it all felt pretty short, and didn't really hold my attention. Did go for both endings though.
  • Got DOOM Eternal The Ancient Gods, and it's good; though I'm finding myself getting more confused as they pile more lore onto us - which is disappointing because I really liked where they were going with it. Gonna do some more reading, I guess. Paused for now, while we wait for the RTX update.
  • Finally got through DOOM VFR - Really good game, with just a few inconsistently very-frustrating points.
  • Wrapped-up Half-Life Alyx, and it was fantastic.
  • Walked through Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - VR Experience, and the control scheme... Oh god... Instant nausea. Not worth it.
  • Started BONEWORKS, and it's not quite like anything else... Curious to see where they take this.
  • Reinstalled Need for Speed Heat, bought an Aston Martin Vulcan, and almost unlocked the FXX-K Evo.
Decided to keep the Sound Blaster 16 and see what I can get for the AWE64 Gold - no bites so far.

Applied the NVIDIA Resizable BAR firmware update.

I dunno... Mostly just wanted to gush about Odyssey, a little. Still need to go back and play both Galaxy games.
