Monsters and Stickers

Blog Crawl!

First, I want to give a shout out to Ace Asunder and Later Levels for the really cool idea they’ve come up with! I’ve already downloaded my trivia sheet and have been filling it out. The idea is that pubs typically have trivia nights, so since we can’t go to pubs, let’s do something similar through blogs! I’m looking forward to the final event for it, and seeing how everyone did with the trivia! Think about joining up if you’re looking for some new blogs to check out, or looking for possible bling for your blog. No actual blogging necessary, but it may give you some post ideas!

Happy Things

Late last week the three Switch games I purchased came in! I decided to pick them up even if I can’t play them yet, so that whenever I can get a Switch I can start immediately. Of course, now they’re taunting me hardcore, and I absolutely wish I could play them now. One day the console will be in stock. I contemplated getting a Lite, but Manthing pointed out I’d probably regret it and be morose after more of the consoles come out. Which is fair, I would. So I’m still holding out. Even though ACNH is calling my name.

I also got my monthly Stickii pack over the weekend. I got the cute pack for May, and I do not regret this one bit. The theme was Under the Sea and I am in love! I usually am not big on things like pinks and yellows and greens, but the way they have worked them in is pretty awesome. So far for the month of June I’m digging the Retro pack, but we’ll see what the last teaser looks like tomorrow.

Manthing and I played some more Monster Prom this past weekend together. We decided to try out the second semester one, and it was a lot of fun. I decided to try dating Zoe, and um. It was very much like pursuing myself. Which, let’s be honest, I would totally do. I’m like Laszlo from What We Do in the Shadows in some ways, haha. Anyway, I ended up getting one of her secret routes, and it was a lot of fun! I’m hoping Manthing and I can keep playing Monster Prom some on the weekends.

Not weekend related, but I got my Switch today, so I’m super excited to shut down the computer for the night and get my Switch set up and play a teensy bit of Animal Crossing before bed!

Bandai Bundle

Friday means payday. And payday means a refresh to my fun budget! As such I spent a chunk of it on the new Bandai Humble Bundle. At first, I really only picked it up because Katamari Damacy is one of my favorite games in the history of games. The number of hours I sunk into that sucker on the PS2 is insane. It was the one game my parents couldn’t tear me away from, and was honestly one of the reasons they let me get a small television for my room as I finished high school so that I’d stop taking up the main house television.

I figured since the game itself was $30, picking up the bundle with it would be a good investment, even if Katamari was all I played. Then, of course, I noticed Tales of Berseria, which has been on my Steam wishlist for a while. It’s a $50 game, so picking up the $15 tier? Absolutely a good deal! I had missed the $25 tier at first, and figure since Man of Medan is by the same folks as Until Dawn that it’d be worth trying out, even if only for Spoopy Month. Here’s my breakdown of what I’ll play from the entire bundle.

• PAC-MAN 256 – Won’t touch it.
• ENSLAVED: Odyssey to the West – I wasn’t interested in this at first (ugh why do I have to always play as the male characters…), but after seeing that Andy Serkis voiced Monkey and directed the cutscenes, I’m willing to give it a try.
• Get Even – I also wasn’t interested in this one at first, but it looks up my alley on further inspection. Based on the trailer it’s reminiscent of Layers of Fear, and I enjoyed that one.
• .hack//G.U. Last Recode – I won’t play it, so I gifted it to Manthing.
• Katamari Damacy REROLL – ABSOLUTELY YES. THE POINT OF THIS WHOLE BUNDLE OBVIOUSLY.
• RAD – Ehhh, I’m not quite sure. Rogue-likes typically aren’t my thing, but I might give it a try.
• TEKKEN 7 – Not my type of game. Pass.
• Tales of Berseria – YES.
• Man of Medan – YES.
