I made a new account in League of Legends and started playing that again. Maybe it's because I'm getting old, but I get cramps in the back of my hand when clicking around a lot these days.
Pokemon Sun: Beat the game and completed the regional Pokedex! Wasn't too difficult actually, took me about 80 hours to beat the game at which point I was already at 75% with my dex. Then I started searching for the few I missed, offered some trades online and bam, Pokedex completed 20 hours later. There was some Post game story as well so that took up the bulk of the time. Really enjoyed this one.
80 hours? Holy crap. :shock:

Is Pokemon S&M's storyline really that long?

Apparently my play time is a lot longer than the typical time, I think the average length is 30 hours or so for the main game. I spent a lot more time on this one than previous games just because I enjoyed it a lot more. I didn't feel like I was playing the game slow, but I did switch up my Pokemon team constantly to prevent being over leveled, lots of time trading and using the Poke Pelago feature, hatching eggs ect.

I've been switching between Overwatch and Battlefield 1 since early December. BF1 started out my preferred of the two but it's quickly getting stale honestly and Overwatch is taking over.

I'm also working on Life is Strange.

I've been going back and forth between picking up Overwatch or not. Looks like a fun engaging multiplayer game, but I generally don't play multiplayer games a lot, especially online ones, due to me not having a lot of time. I'm also pretty bad at first person shooters as I rarely play them.

But it still looks fun, so I don't know!

It reminds me a lot of TF2 only less dumb economy and hat drama. I've played more TF2 than probably any other game, I'm not sure if that helps any.

Overwatch is not for me. It's a straight-up PvP shooter, so without any sense of progress or progression to keep playing it, the hooks just brush right off me. Kind of like Street Fighter with more players. I can at least appreciate that it seems to be well-designed, which is why the Team Fortress 2 crowd seems to like it. That said, from what little I played, I still think I prefer Team Fortress 2.

I think that's the big detractor for me, I'm more of an achievement oriented gamer. I like to reach a goal and then be done with a game, or at least have a new goal to keep striving for.

I was playing Inside, which I downloaded the other day during the end of the holiday sale, but I just finished it in one 2-hour sitting. This was a game that I went into unspoiled, because people hinted that that might be important, so I'll keep up the pretence and not spoil anything for anyone who hasn't played it yet, other than to say that the whole game is a metaphor for taking a difficult poop. Great comedy game. Very glad I didn't pay the full $27 asking price for it, though.

I'm replaying Red Dead Redemption and having a blast. The other day I was looking at stats and it said I'd played more than 24 hours. I thought surely I left it running or something. Upon thinking about it though I think that's right. I've basically played it for a day and still have much to do :)

I can't help but imagine Texas as the world of Red Dead now, a wild west where everybody shoots celebratory gun shots :lol:
