Books: Nada Games: 80. Fantasy Life (3DS) 12/1 Like a little offline FF14 game. I completed it without ever going to a combat oriented class. Tough playing it this way, but the game is good, mindless fun. A good one to veg out to. 81. Rollers of the Realm (PSVita) 12/22 Great game. Worth playing. I’d only change a few things I think. 1. Losing all of the exp and gold from a level is a bit too punitive.

Look at this series of comics… http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2014-05-25 http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2014-06-05 http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2014-06-19 http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2014-08-10 http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2014-11-23 http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2014-12-02 http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2015-01-07 8 months, 7 comics, all one continuous story being told in the background.

Wow, I spaced this thing out for 3 months. Guess I was too busy. Books: N/a Games: September: 61. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (PS3) Very interesting game, worth playing. 62. Infamous: First Light (PS4) A worthy addition to the series. I enjoyed it however brief it was. 63. Hohokum (PS4) Very interesting. Very little storyline, but interesting. 64. Serena (Linux) Also for PC. About an hour long adventure game where you mostly just poke around trying to find new dialog on all the random objects around you.

Books:Didn’t do much reading this month, aside from RSS feeds. Games: 53. Tiny and Big: Grampa’s Leftovers (Linux) Finished. it was pretty short, but entertaining. Though, I kept thinking it was the last battle, then being disappointed when there was more to play. 54. Gone Home (Linux) A bit buggy, though new drivers helped this a bit. interesting to explore and listen to music. 55. Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii). Will probably end up on my top 10 rpgs ever.

Books: 13. Quantum Vibe Volume 1. and 14. Quantum Vibe Volume 2. This is just a great book all around. It’s a bit on the preachy side, but still a great old-fashioned scifi romp. 15. The Hook. I’m not sure what the point of this was. 16. Roswell, Texas. A bit of a wish fulfillment nightmare scenario. 17. Escape from Terra. Really good, even though it kind of ends in the middle.

Books: 12. A Mad Tea Party. Kickstarter is like Christmas scattered throughout the year. You get a random package without remembering that you ordered it months ago on kickstarter. In any case, this one was really quite good.  Games: 45. Walking Dead S1E4. Seemed really long, but was interesting. The ending was pretty brutal. 46. Entwined. Short, a bit challenging. 47. Walking Dead S1E5. So few survivors, especially from the initial group… Next up is 400 days I guess.

Books: None Games: 37. Octodad: Dadliest Catch (PS4) Pretty fun little game, the last level is really tricky though. 38. Hatsune Miku: Diva F (PSVita) I didn’t expect to enjoy the game, much less find any music I liked, but there were a few good songs in there, including the excellent Tengaku.  39. Night of the Rabbit (PC) AGH. This game has everything I hate about PC gaming. It works great for the first 4/5ths, then becomes an unstable, crashy mess in the last 1/5th.

Books: 11. The Martian. Excellent book. Everyone with any science knowledge should pick it up. Everyone else too if they can tolerate a little bit of science/engineering talk. Games: 25. Kings Quest 3 (PC/Dos) More entertaining than the last one, but the time limits can get a bit annoying. 25.1. Fez 100% (PSVita) Managed to get all the items. 26. Walking Dead S1E1. (PSVita) A bit intense. Tough for me to go through without wanting to second and third guess everything I do.

Books: None Games: 9. Odin Sphere (PS2) Excellent ending, the way it pulls in the menuing system as part of the story. 10. Ibb and Obb (PS3) I am disappointed. It didn’t give me the single player completion trophy even though I finished it all single player. :( 11. Sparkle (PSVita) IHTFG. 12. Muramasa: Genroku Legends: Fishy Tales of the Nekomata. (PSVita) Nice short little addon to Muramasa. 13. Megaman Legends 2 (PS1).

Books: 5. The Road to Oz. Not particularly remarkable? 6. The Emerald City of Oz. Reminds me of all those other authors who got tired of their universes they created and wanted to go on to something else, and futilely tried to write a final story… 7. The Well of Ascension. Decided to read something a bit more … well written? Mature? Interesting? Than the Oz books. It was quite good, and really makes me want to go buy the 3rd book right now… 8.
