Mega Man 9 is down.  It was a bit too artificially hard in a couple of places, but I thought it was very well balanced and super fun.  A major step up from the last two entries.

With all these threads you're making you'd probably be better off being on a stock market forum dude

At least he's posting in off-topic now, which is the one place it makes sense to be.

Mega Man 8.  Overall it may be the easiest of the mainline ME games.  There are some frustrating choices, and some game aspects aren’t explained too well.  The art style and cheesy voice acting went a long way for me, though.

Feeling a tad underwhelmed by Hollow Knight at the moment.  It's fine, but I don't know, it feels kinda basic in its execution.  Maybe I was just spoiled by how good Ori and the Blind Forest was and since this is doing the same exact thing, it isn't holding up nearly as well.

Interesting.  I think Hollow Knight may have supplanted Zelda as my personal GotY for 2017.  How far you into it?  I found that it didn’t really start to click until after the fight with Hornet and when you get your first movement aid.

But I also loved the art style, so it may just be a different strokes for different folks situation.

I was very surprised at how much I liked this one.  It's an incredible step up from part 2, which is a bit of a flaming garbage pile.  Maybe it's because Mater is barely in this one, and maybe its the fact that the plot is combination of Rocky III and Rocky IV, but I actually found myself pretty invested here.  It might actually be the best film of the trilogy.  The world still raises all kinds of existential nightmare questions though.

The only Pixar film I have left is The Good Dinosaur.

Sharp Objects on HBO ended last night.  It is a very slow-burn and deliberately paced series, but I loved almost every minute of this surreal southern gothic tale.

Bottled water is all generally the same for me, though I can tell a difference I don't really mind.

Tap water, however... there is a very high variability there.  Even the filtered water at my office is terrible.

This was not quite as good as I was hoping, seeing how it was made by David Fincher, who is arguably one of the greatest directors alive today.  The story was fine, but not as focused on the actual mystery as I would have liked.  It felt like too separate films for a bit too long which gave the entire thing a disjointed vibe that never quite meshed, even when the storylines came together.

I decided it was time to fill out the rest of the Pixar catalog I had not seen, and this was first up.  It is as bad as you'd expect  It's two separate movies smashed together where the lead character in one of the stories is Larry the Cable Guy.  I've heard that Cars 3 is a fair bit better at least.

I’ve played WD S1 and Tales from the Borderlands and thought they were both pretty good - but I’ve also heard that these are the best two games they’ve put out.

I imagine their biggest issue is that they don’t really innovate, and that playing these types of games can get pretty repetitive pretty quickly.

Not much lately:

Amiibo
Lottie - She was $0.75 in clearance.
8-Bit Link - They did a repackage in the Legend of Zelda Series, rather than the 30th Anniversary.  Also on clearance.

PSN
Horizon: Zero Dawn - Complete Edition - Dirt cheap for a LOAD of content.
