Saying Goodbye/Lif Goes On
I knew late last Sunday I wasn’t going to get my weekly post done by midnight. I had the structure in place and most of the rough draft in hand, but the words weren’t flowing. I intended to get it banged in shape Monday morning rather than miss a week. But other things happened. I’ve been eating unhealthily and hadn’t been in a great place mentally, and ended up having trouble sleeping. I finally got up around 4:oo AM and went back to my office.

This week I’ve finished Lies of P. It’s a good game, I didn’t think I would ever beat a Souls-like, but I thoroughly enjoyed the game with it’s perfect blocks, dodge rolls, weapons, bosses, and even the enemies placed around a corner just to stab you in the back for thinking there’s free loot. I also like the Pinocchio theme.
