I look forward to playing it again when it releases on Switch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mega Man X<\/strong> (SNES) &#8211; Couldn&#8217;t remember if I had already run it this year. Had to make sure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shovel Knight<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; Sometimes you just need to close out the year by replaying a couple of your favourite games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Freddy Fazbear&#8217;s Pizzeria Simulator<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; FNAF6 came out and I didn&#8217;t know it until three weeks later. Such is the downside of living in relative isolation. But hey, FNAF6! Hooray!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chiptune Champion<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; A nerdy alternative to Guitar Hero. I may try to rip the music because it&#8217;s pretty good, but playing Guitar Hero on a keyboard just doesn&#8217;t have the same appeal.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">~ Now Playing ~<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Xenoblade Chronicles 2<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; It&#8217;s not quite as perfect for me as Xenoblade X was, but I&#8217;m still having a Goddamn ball. <a href=\"http:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/?p=7270\">Read more thinks and thoks here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hammerwatch<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; Yeah! Hammerwatch! I thoroughly enjoyed playing through this on PC, and I have been waiting for something similar to come to Switch. The\u00a0real deal is even better!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pok\u00e9mon Ultra Sun<\/strong> (3DS) &#8211; Trying to play through it with poison-types only. I&#8217;ve never done a mono-type run before, and poison is probably one of the harder ones to start with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/strong>\u00a0(iOS) &#8211; Might as well mention that I&#8217;ve been playing here and there to catch some of the new &#8216;mons. Gen 3 has a lot of my favourite guys, after all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Skyrim<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; I have barely touched it because Xenoblade 2 is eating all my video game time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yooka-Laylee<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; I have barely touched it because Xenoblade 2 blah blah blah&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Volgarr the Viking<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; I have barely touched it because&#8230; it&#8217;s super difficult and I can&#8217;t even get past level 2. But it&#8217;s really cool and I&#8217;ll deffo give it some more time in the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Super Mario RPG<\/strong> (SNES) &#8211; Long overdue for a replay. This run is more leisurely and taking advantage of infinitely-spawing monsters and emulator 30x speed abilities to level up quick.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Life is Strange: Before the Storm<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; For some reason, I just don&#8217;t care. The original game was excellent, but I cannot be bothered to give even half a shirt about Chloe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nine Parchments<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; Just played the demo. <a href=\"http:\/\/torrentialequilibrium.net\/?p=7285\">Ramblings here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adventure Capitalist<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; I thought I&#8217;d kicked this habit, but then\u00a0accidentally opened the game (damn Steam taskbar thing)\u00a0and got sucked into another stupid event for a weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>End of the line, 2017!
