@Hikingguy I thought that was you. That was such a special experience. I've been planning for a while on emailing you with updates. I'll be sending a book 3 your way once it's out.
@Hikingguy Great thoughts! And the 3rd book is going very well! In fact...it's practically finished. News on release is coming soon! Btw...how did you know about my books?? Haha
All of this is true but for some reason, I'm more bored with games than ever. I've been a gamer my entire life but now I'm 35, have a wife and 3 kids, 2 jobs, and a writing career on the side. You'd think those precious few hours at the end of each day I would run to my consoles and dive in...but I just can't anymore. Can anyone tell me why? I look at all the AMAZING games I have and thinking about them makes me want to replay them but when it comes down to it, I pop one in and just look around for five minutes then turn it off. I've been trying to figure it out. Someone help!
Nothing will ever dethrone Fortnite though. It's just too big. Just like the clones can't ever touch Pokémon. For better or worse, the OG will always reign with these kind of things.
I'm kinda bummed...I ordered a big, two-player arcade stick for the switch to use with stuff like this but it ended up not working and I had to return it. Can't find any other alternatives for such a thing anywhere.
Putting anything Chrono Trigger related in a headline or thumbnail without it being news of a re-release, remaster, or remake is a dangerous game. Heart attacks will occur all over the world.
I know its bad...but I'm kinda enjoying seeing all the backlash Nintendo is getting for this. It's only a flesh wound, but their brand has been temporarily damaged and I hope it discourages them from doing this kinda thing in the future.
It's funny how much 10/Tidus are beloved in Japan. I freaking hated that game simply because of Titus. But having lived in Japan for several years it makes sense. The whole feel is very close to thier culture. At least I see 9 getting some love in there though. Best FF IMO.
Haha dude YES! Muldoon would be an instant buy for me too. And with the wild animals running around it would be so cool if raptors and other dinos were too! I'm dead serious about the egg nest though I honestly can't remember where I was. I want to say it was up by the predetor paddoc. Maybe a little southeast of the paddock.
@Snakesglowcaps Right? I don't pay for much in Fortnite but I'd break for a Dr. Grant skin. Can you imagine driving around the map in Duos as Malcolm and Grant in a classic JP jeep? I was playing today and came across a dinosaur nest with broken eggs, not to mention the predetor paddock is empty now...just sayin...
I'm old enough that I no longer have the luxury to play every game to completion like I used to as a kid in the PS1 era and I've been ok with it for a long time. Between 3 jobs and a family of 5, I have to make sure EVERY minute of gaming is valuable and enjoyable. Ill drop any game like its hot if it fails to impress me quickly. Haha
