Fasting for something has always seemed extreme to me. The notion of self-denial is hard to accept.
But desperate times mean desperate notions.
I will be fasting today for someone who is in need of a positive interview selection.
6 am – 6 pm Fasting
What a Wonderful World
I’ve jumped back into the bizarre apocalyptic world of FallOut 4. Every time I start this game I get crazy real-world distractions but this time I’m into it.
There must be over 100 hours of gameplay here.
I fought and struggled to get to a sanctuary City but at only level 7 I can’t do much enemy damage plus I’m super low on in-game cash. I’m thinking this game, excluding the DLCs, will take me 12-15 months to complete. A nice slow grind pace with a focus on quality and detail, exploration and creativity.
Haven’t been to the gym this month
I want to break free
My games library contains more filler and incomplete games than usual. Time to delete some.
inFAMOUS Second Son
Just Cause 3
God of War® III
Retro Library – PacMan etc.
These button-bashing teenager games are brilliant but far from my usual Open World Player Verses Environment (PvE) setting.
I still need to complete Tales from the Borderlands and Until Dawn. Re-living the BioShock series is excellent but I’m waiting for FarCry 5 (early 2018) and Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds (Nov 2017).
Star Wars Battlefront II (17-Nov 2017) is going to be hard to resist but Last of Us 2 and Days Gone are still nowhere to be seen.

Feels good to be Submerged
Just completed this cute 2Gb title. It’s a nice explorer game free of any violence and ends with an excellent feel good factor.
There should be more games like this on the market.
Assassin creed 7.80 Gb African chapter is glitching out on me but I’ll stick with it 44% in the game.
I last played Life is Strange on the 24-January this year. Using the Unreal engine this is a pure quality title and I know the prequel is on the way. At first, the High School environment was a bit of a put-off triggering memories of when I was bullied or just left out the “cool” gangs but the great guitar sound track and unique rewind feature pulled me in.
Last few games I’ve played have all had female lead characters
I AM your Father
November 17, 2017 – StarWars Battlefront II goes live to the general public. By then the elites, pro-games, streamers and pre-orders would have already racked up hours of gameplay and earns new guns and abilities while they slaughter new or inexperienced players at will.
I’m still undecided as to whether I will be joining the battles. Game sequels carry a mixed taste, basically, you want more of what happened before but you want it 10 times better, faster and bigger. No doubt EA is banking on grabbing at least 20 million players globally with this title and it being a big part of the annual $3.147 billion net sales.
Tales of the Expected
Star Wars™ Battlefront was simply a childhood movie fantasy come alive. I remember the first time my anonymous team brought down an AT-AT walker….sheer geek ecstasy.
Hard to see how that feeling of aweeeeesome can be genuinely repeated.
I last played 30-Sept 2016 at 10:23 am after reaching the maximum level 50 at the time. I never bothered with DLC so Part II kinda feels like a massive DLC. Even if the single game PvE is a good story, the community will be looking at the 40-PvP campaigns.
It’s gonna be absolute carnage.
Time waits for no one
I had a lot more time on my hands in 2016 and would play non-stop for days without anybody bothering me. I don’t have that luxury solo gamer environment anymore so I would have to recreate it or suffer from unacceptable mid-game interruptions.
Only self-paced titles like Horizon Zero Dawn work well for me. I need to be able to randomly play for 10-60 minutes irregularly without it hurting the quality of the experience.
So, I’ve answered my own question. I will not be joining StarWars BattleFront II this November.

A long way to go
The Winter months are calling me. Calling me to prepare for the weather and the darkness. I try to get as much Sun time as possible knowing that I would not see it for more than 2 hours a day soon.
Plenty of new titles will be coming this Christmas and FarCry 5 is set for February 27, 2018 smack on the edge of Winter. By then my life will be totally different, for better or for worst.
I think I’m coming to the conclusion of Horizon Dawn Zero as the game prepares me for what looks to be the final Epic battle.
