Well, I got the bundle. Now that I've had a chance to research how long the various VNs are, this was a crazy good deal. I also read about the patches from the visual novel subreddit. Nekopara and Karakara have patches that would need to be bought separately, but they'll apparently be on sale from Denpasoft next week so anyone interested in those patches should wait until then to get them.

I also started reading World End Economica! I'm an hour in and it's good so far. I'm worried the religious angle might start getting preachy but so far it's been handled well. The dude clearly needs to learn some lessons about greed but he doesn't need to be converted to learn them so I hope it doesn't go down that route.

Ah, blatant fanservice. Too bad 'bullet hell' is my absolute least favorite genre. Not even shooting clothes off of anime girls couldn't overcome that! Still, not bad for a $1.50

Well now I've finished the season

I think the actual worst thing about that fall was how little it mattered. It felt like they did it because they wrote themselves into a corner when she was about to testify, but they could've just kept Durant as a spineless coward who didn't want to testify and it would've amounted to the same thing.

I'm also not sure where the show can go from here. Claire has to pardon Frank because he could easily destroy her by going public about all the stuff they did. She'll likely pardon him early next season, and then what? Frank starts a foundation to 'rule from the outside' and they argue over the phone every time something happens? That doesn't exactly sound riveting

How could I forgot the worst thing
Frank pushing Durant literally 5 stairs and making her go to coma.

Oh my god I just got to this part, what the hell was that. That was so bad.

Even spraining her ankle from that fall would've been unbelievable, that was literally five steps

Is it possible for me to change what my favorite game is on the list? After some reflection, I'd like to change it to Mass Effect 2

My only concern about this would be if someone was planning to use your favorite game for that challenge. However, in this case, two people said Batman: Arkham Asylum were their favorite game, so that isn't a problem! I went ahead and added Mass Effect 2 to the doc.

EDIT: To expand on my point, people can definitely change their favorite game, but I think it would be fair to keep the old game on the list too for the rest of 2017. In your case, it just wasn't a problem because someone else had the same favorite

Sorry for letting it purge again!

Credit goes to tazzyboyishere for first starting this in 2016. Basically, there are 50 challenges outlined below that will require you to beat 52 games total. This isn't a competition and there's no prize for winning aside from a sense of accomplishment. This is just a fun thing to participate in while we all work through our video game libraries. It also gives us a place to discuss what we're playing. Feel free to join in!


Rules:
- A game can only be used for one challenge
- Use your own judgment to decide if game fits in a certain category
- Games started in 2016 or earlier are fine as long as they're finished in 2017
- Please add your own games to the spreadsheet linked to below, which anyone can edit
- When using the spreadsheet, please don't mess with checklists/tallies that aren't yours
- There's a tab listing favorite games in the spreadsheet if you need help with challenge 43
- If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

And my boss is pushing management to have me take on accounts more deeply and also travel more.

Considering how often you already post about working thirteen hours every day of the week, I'm not sure if more work is a good thing >_>

Congrats, though!

Mario Tennis Open (3DS)

Well, I have a new worst game ever. Good lord, I don't know why I stuck with this through the tournament mode. I haven't played a Mario Tennis since the N64 one but I remember loving it, and this one removed everything that made that one fun. There was no aiming or timing involved, those awful chance shot circles were the only realistic way to score. What a travesty of a video game.

I'm really slowing down on gaming. Seven of the last nine games I've played have all been super disappointing or outright bad. Only one of the nine has actually been fun. I'm getting so burnt out.
