Funny to think that as of today, I&#8217;ll have been a homeowner for exactly three years.<\/p>\n<p>Fooled you! It&#8217;s actually <em>May<\/em> 1st that I took possession of my house.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8230; that was terrible. Let&#8217;s just get onto the video game stuff.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">~ Now Playing ~<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; As much as I love Smash Bros, I have to say that if I were restricted to one single game for the rest of my days, it&#8217;d be a MonHun game. Preferably this one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Majora&#8217;s Mask 3D<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; If I had to choose only one Zelda to play forever? It&#8217;d be Wind Waker, but Majora is a <em>very<\/em> close second.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hyrule Warriors<\/strong> (WiiU) &#8211; Yeah I&#8217;m still on this. The new Ganon&#8217;s Fury mode is too much fun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze<\/strong> (WiiU) &#8211; One of the secret best Wii U games available. It&#8217;s beautiful, has a <em>stellar<\/em> soundtrack, and is brutally difficult but still manages\u00a0to be fun\u00a0instead of\u00a0frustrating. Also, Dixie. Retro<em> gets it<\/em>, man.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dig Dug<\/strong> (NES) &#8211; I&#8217;m not very good at Dig Dug, but it&#8217;s one of my favourite arcade games. In fact, it might be the only NES arcade port I&#8217;ve bought on Virtual Console.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pok\u00e9mon Shuffle<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; It&#8217;s gotten to the point where the stages are intentionally unfair to\u00a0bully you into pay monies to win. I&#8217;m not doing that. I&#8217;d rather slowly grind my way to victory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Donkey Kong Land<\/strong> (GB) &#8211; I remember being pretty into these DK Land games as a young&#8217;un, so I bought the first one out of curiosity. It&#8230; was not money well spent. This game is poop. Mostly because the jump physics are way, way\u00a0off, which makes it more frustrating than it ought to be.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mario Party 10<\/strong> (WiiU) &#8211; I&#8217;m not so much actively playing this as I am playing it when I go over to hang out with my family. But it&#8217;s pretty awesome. Bowser Party is a gas.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">~ Game Over ~<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Adventure Time: Secret of the Nameless Kingdom<\/strong> (PS3) &#8211; At first it seems like A Link To The Past but with new graphics. It quickly grows its own identity, but it&#8217;s still\u00a0deliciously Zelda-like.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zombie Incident<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; Retro platformer that I ended up liking despite having many reasons to dislike it. Short, but not especially sweet. Worth the $2 though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mighty Switch Force! 2<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; I didn&#8217;t really like the first one, despite how much I wanted to like it. And then somehow I fell in love with this one instantly. I credit the baby-punting. I paid less than $2 for it, but it&#8217;s worth the full $8-ish price tag.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Life is Strange: Episode 1 &#8211; Chrysalis<\/strong> (360) &#8211; A neat adventure game with a time-rewinding mechanic. Is otherwise based in reality, and was a nice change of pace from the wacky fantasy stuff I&#8217;m usually playing. Cannot wait for the rest of the episodes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alien: Isolation<\/strong> (360) &#8211; Scary and great at first! Then\u00a0repetitive and boring in the middle. Somewhere in between near the end. Honestly, it was a forced push to finish this one. Good effort, but too long to be outstanding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shovel Knight<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; Played through again to earn my &#8220;no deaths&#8221; and &#8220;no falling in holes&#8221; feats. And a smattering of other ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yeesh, it&#8217;s April already.
