It's Friday night, so it's journal time. Or at least I'm trying to establish a regular update time.

All right, what's happened since last I wrote?

  • Lots of scary stuff happening today. You got earthquakes, acts of terror, and a general feeling of uneasiness. Do whatever you can to stay safe, guys. Also do whatever you can to help out those in need in any way you can.
  • We got a Nintendo Direct yesterday. It was the first one since June, and I found it quite enjoyable. From imminent stuff like Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon to spring releases like Star Fox Zero and the newly announced The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, I could see myself playing just about everything they showed there. The show even ended with a Smash Bros. announcement I did not see coming at all.
  • Second week of work is in the books. I'm getting along well with my coworkers, I'm enjoying the work I do, and I feel like I am contributing to the paper and bettering myself in the process. I certainly will do my best from here.
  • Not a lot of movie-viewing time lately. A mixture of being unable to see some movies and lacking the motivation to do it. Though I do figure I want to watch at least one a week. With the holidays around the corner, that will take up the schedule a bit. It's almost Thanksgiving, so a viewing of the sort-of holiday movie Paul Blart: Mall Cop was in order. I know its reputation, but I've quite a soft spot for it. For what the movie is, I gave it 4 out of 5 on Letterboxd. The sequel is up next week, and I'm well aware of that film's reception.
  • After years of it being on my Xbox 360, I finished the final add-on story for Fallout: New Vegas. That game remains one of the most immersive, engaging experiences I've had on a console. If Fallout 4 is half as good, I think I'll be playing that one for a long time. Aside from that, gaming consisted of selling turnips in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and the occasional Smash Bros. match.
  • Today started off well enough and I did want to do a few things this afternoon. But what derailed my mood and motivation? Family business. Ever want to see me legitimately angry, just tag along with me when I have to deal with them...
  • Still mauling over what TV show to check out next. After deciding on one, it's finding motivation to follow through.
  • Cardinals play the Seahawks on Sunday night. I'm slightly terrified.
Life goes on. There's good times and bad times, so take what you can from both.

Hope you're staying warm,
Cody

If you haven't already, I would recommend playing Fallout 3 before graduating to 4.  New Vegas is more of a standalone title, even though chronologically it falls between the other two.  I have been playing Fallout 4 for the past week, and it is definitely worth the 60 bucks, but it makes more sense if you've played 3 first.  :)
