I'm playing the necro this season. It's a bit unfortunate that my favorite build (bonestorm inarius) is also the weakest, but oh well.

So another birthday has come and gone, and while I had to buy my own games, at least I got what I wanted.
For the PS4- Senran Kagura: No Shirt, No Shoes, All Service Edition from Amazon.
For the Vita- Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Borderlands 2. And in an amazing stroke of luck, I found a 64 gig Vita memory card used at GameStop. How a GameStop in the rinky dink state of Vermont got a Japan exclusive memory card is beyond me, but I’m not complaining.

As a professional tanuki (I'm a Japanese mythological animal, and a good luck charm), I have an alarm clock built into me somewhere. I also look like a stuffed animal. And you thought your life was tough......

Back onto playing Skyrim on Switch. I realized after a while that I hadn't done much in the main quest line, and with Diablo 3 (and also Smash Bros) coming later in the year I thought I would get going again.
I've made it as far as Alduin's Bane quest, so it looks like I don't have too much to go before finishing it out. I will likely get through the main quest and then just revisit when I want to tinker with the game. I also spent a good bit of time leveling up my Smithing and Enchanting skills, just to make myself better armor. This is definitely the farthest I have ever made it through this game, thanks to being able to play anywhere in my house instead of always having to be tied to a TV in the basement.

Wahoo! After a long on-and-off play, I finally finished the main quest in Skyrim (and also the Dragonborn DLC questline). Didn't go after Dawnguard yet, but I think I'm going to take a break from big, heavy RPG's. It was fun, but I'm kind of burnt out.
I think what I enjoyed the most was writing my own narrative (obvious for an RPG, I know, but I don't play many RPG's). I picked a somewhat boring Nord character, but I tatted him all up and gave him white-ish eyes. I focused on a few things I don't normally do in RPG's/Action-RPG's: honing archery (range) skills and going for a Spellsword-type character by pairing a War-axe with Restoration spells. And also using Light Armor. I usually lean towards more of a tank-type with Heavy Armor and BF weapons. It was a pleasant experience, even if the final battle ended up a little easy since I invested so much beforehand. I guess you could call that well-prepared?
I have no idea what's up next. Could be simply some NBA 2K18 & Pac-Man CE2+. Or even Lego CITY Undercover. Probably the former though. That is until Diablo 3 and Smash Bros. come out later in the year. Too many games and just not enough time.

I just finished Ocarina of Time today and man that final battle with Ganon is hard. It took me 4 tries but I finally got that ****er. That was the only fight I had real trouble with but man did it take me a while to win. I'm not sure if I want to go straight into Majora's Mask or maybe take a break from the games.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Croft Steelbook Edition - It`s a lot of fun so far, and Lara`s dream sequence just put a smile on my face. That said, I do have a couple of complaints. One, and it`s a minor one, I get the feeling I`m missing an update patch, because of little hiccups here and there, and Two(which might be fixed with the update if there is one. Love my internet provider so much right now....), while you had to beat Rise to be able to switch skins, Shadow let's you from the get-go. It`s nice to be able to use the AoD skin, AND be able to use the mud stealth effect, but unlike Rise, the skin`s got zero interactivity. No eye movement, no lip movement...... Makes the cutscenes a little weird.

I've just started on Resident Evil 6, it took me a little while to get the hang of the controls but as an action game it's not too bad but if you like your RE games as survival horror you probably won't like it.
In terms of progress, I've finished Leon's campaign and I've on the second chapter of Chris' campaign.
