Some nice progress on the fitness goals, with all my weights being stepped up, getting me closer to the overall goal, and I met some of my swimming goals. We’ve switched back to working out at lunch instead of the evening, but we should still be able to do our […]

In addition to several console games, I was gifted a couple of games from my wish list on Steam for my birthday. One of those was Firewatch, a first-person mystery released in 2016 by Campo Santo and Panic. So as usual, let’s start with what Steam says: The year is […]
Time for my quarterly update of where I am with my gaming backlog 🙂 Added a few new games due to birthday gifts, and finished two so far 🙂 Console Game Backlog Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Böse (PS2; replay) Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End (PS4; need other […]
