Forgot to update this again.
15. Journey (PS4) - 4/11
16. Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Switch) - 5/3
- I know this one doesn't really end, but I got credits so I'm calling it beat for this at least lol
17. Dragon's Lair (Switch) - 5/15
18. Final Fantasy VII Remake (PS4) - 5/23
- Like a lot of you, I’ve been waiting for this game for 23 years. I distinctly remember finishing the original back in eighth grade and being totally blown away; I had never experienced anything like it and I immediately started the game over again, I couldn’t get enough of it. As each new console came out, I always though about how cool it would be if they just remade it on the new platform with upgraded visuals; 23 years and 3 console generations later it finally happened. After FFXV, I was really nervous going into this, I specifically avoided any reviews or articles on the game and didn’t even play the demo, I didn’t want anyone else’s opinions swaying mine. After 23 years, I got to experience Final Fantasy VII for the first time again, and let me just say… it was perfect! This game was everything I could ever imagine a remake being and so much more. Square did such an awesome job expanding on an already amazing story and really made you connect with characters that had only a minor role in the original. I can’t wait to see what they do with the next part!

Modern Video Games / Re: Um... Tony Hawk Remaster!!???
« on: May 14, 2020, 02:14:00 pm ».... as long as they don’t change it too much.
From what I can see in the videos it looks like they only really made good changes. Same core gameplay, upgraded graphics, new tricks, and online play added.

So I can't believe people aren't talking about this here yet! I cannot explain how psyched I am for this! I know there are a lot of people really wanting a new Skate game... but I will always love those first 3 Tony Hawk games.

12. Undertale (Switch) - 4/2/20
Now I know I played Undertale last year… and I know it probably sounded like I didn’t really like it, but I was looking for something short to play to hold me over till the FF7 Remake comes out and one of my friends suggested I revisit it and go for the True Pacifist run. So, I figured what the hell, lets do it; and let me just say, the True Pacifist ending was totally worth it. It really felt like a true ending to the story, way more satisfying than the Neutral run ending. I know there are a few more endings to experience, but I think I’m good at this point.
13. Abzu (PS4) - 4/4/20
If you have a few hours to kill, don’t care about story and just want a game where you can explore and maybe solve a few simple puzzles, Abzu is for you. Just play it.
14. Sayonara Wild Hearts (Switch) - 4/10/20
So first of all.. WOW, holy shit! Ok so this game was recommended to me by my buddy a while back and I really wish I would have gotten around to playing it sooner, but since I’m still waiting for my copy of FF7 Remastered to come in, it seemed like the perfect time to do it. I’m just going to say it, this is hands down the best soundtrack for a game ever. I mean really this isn’t a game, its more like an interactive album; I just can’t believe how well the gameplay and music complemented each other. If anyone is reading this, go download this game, plug in some headphones and just enjoy the next hour of your life.

If you have any questions hit me up! I had to use info from several different sources, I couldn't really find all the info I needed on one site.

So today was kinda dead at work and since I'm working from home, I decided now would be a great time to clean my PS2 slim. This thing has been making all sorts of noise and sometimes it'll act like I removed the disc in the middle of playing. So I pulled it apart and honestly, it really wasn't that dirty, however I did notice that the grease on the lens rail and lens motor was kinda gross and looked worn down. I've taken apart and cleaned my fair share of consoles before, but the one thing I've never done is mess with the laser assembly, been to nervous to mess with it. I just happened to have some silicon grease laying around from dreamcast controller repairs I've been doing so I figured now is as good a time as any to try to figure this out. I spent a good 2 hours reading about the tear down of the entire lens assembly and then about 30 minutes breaking it all down, cleaning, and reassembling with fresh grease, and to my surprise everything came out great! the drive is almost dead silent, you can still hear the disc spinning but the grinding that the motor and assembly was making is totally gone. I know this was pretty long winded and kinda pointless lol but I was really excited and needed to share it with someone who might care.. the wife sure wouldn't haha.

10. Sonic Adventure 2 (Dreamcast) - 3/22
The whole time I was playing the first Sonic Adventure, I was thinking to myself just how much I hated the “open world” part of the game. 15 minutes into Sonic Adventure 2 and I was sad they took it out. Even though the game just felt like it was missing something, it was still a ton of fun; the controls were better, the camera was betterish, and the levels were better. Everything was just a step up from the previous game. Beat 3/22
11. Horizon Zero Dawn (PS4) - 3/29
I really wanted to love this game, I had planned on going for a platinum trophy on it, but for some reason I couldn’t get into it. It wasn’t a bad game at all, it was actually pretty good; I just didn’t connect with it like I did God of War or Last of Us, it felt a little disconnected at points and I had trouble playing it for long sessions. Beat 3/30

I think the virus has the POTENTIAL to disrupt our lives and change the way we live forever to be honest. If it continues to spread, we'll see more Americans that have the ability to work from home actually doing so, and companies will start to learn that those once so important meetings actually can be summed up in an email. Jobs in the retail/service industries could change as well, people may be less likely to go out shopping if they don't have to and start shopping more online; there would still be a need for grocery stores and other essential services but for stores like gamestop (which is already on its way out) that specialize in one particular type of item, this could be the final nail in the coffin.
Personally, I had been contemplating switching over to digital only when this next generation of consoles comes out since I've been running out of physical space for my collection, but this just might be what pushes me over the edge. Only time will tell though.
