I lost a good Strafe run by accidentally running out of bounds and not being able to get back in the map so I gave up on that game for a bit and played a Doom map wad called Waterlab GZD. It's a really big map that has a bunch of custom monsters and neat environmental effects. I only found like 3 of the 17 secrets and it still took me 40 minutes to complete.

1. The Witcher 2
2. Yakuza
3. Nioh
4: Nier
5. Nier: Automata
6. Horizon: Zero Dawn
7. Doom (1993) Ultraviolence /w pistol start
8. Lunatic.wad Ultraviolence /w pistol start
9. Waterlab GZD Ultraviolence /w pistol start

Dishonored 2 - Emily, low chaos, no kills. A lot of fun, I enjoyed it more than the first. Looking forward to doing a Corvo/high chaos run eventually. I think it's the first stealth game I've ever managed a no-kills run in, too.

I beat Spelunky for PS4 Iron Man. I have never done the weird City of Gold or Hell stuff so it is time to get into that.

I got to the end of Abzu. Short and gorgeous and weed break spots are collectibles. I will probably go back and get all the stupid little things you can get because this game is cool.

ive played the first two games on and off for about a decade now and i'll probably never stop. ive only recently been able to play tgm3 after years of wanting to and its just flawless. the addition of 3 piece preview and hold along with the huge speed increase, not to mention the more complex grading system and promotional exam system, make it by far the best version of tetris ever, and its a crime against humanity that arika doesnt have the ability to produce home versions for whatever reason.

TGM3 is a Taito TypeX game, which basically means it's a Windows game. it's very easy to find with google, but you need this hack:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8DZWUh1sATeMGRibFQ1M3BOYkU

(click the download button in the top right)

just drop those files into the root folder of the game and run "tgm3_launcher". edit "tgm3.cfg" to change resolution settings, as far as I know those joystick settings flat out don't work. keyboard settings can be modified with "typex_config" included with the game.

caveats:

- keyboard only. as far as I know you need joy2key to use a joystick with the game
- noticeable input lag, and joy2key only makes it worse. It's not unplayable, but kind of annoying. Run the game windowed to reduce it a bit. also if you're using joy2key you can set the internal processing speed on it to be higher which reduces latency.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
56% completion, 115 hours playtime.
Even though it was too short, it's still insanely good. I'll probably aim for a higher completion percentage once I get a PS4 and play through this again. Even on the crappy PS3 version, it looks like a million bucks and it's probably the greatest game ever made.

Mission 46? it was cool doing it again, but i'd suspected what the twist was extremely early on, so that part didn't really surprise me. but it was still really cool to go back to your starting capabilities after you've become the insanely badass big boss by the end of the game. the mirror chat was neat, but was there a computer program on side b of the tape? what was the program??

also, i love how when you get an s rank in the game, kaz says "that's why you're the best boss. the one and only." i thought i remembered totally botching a mission and getting an e rank and hearing him saying "how can you even call yourself big boss" but there's nothing online about it and it's very hard to find youtube videos of people completely screwing up missions, so i might have made that up. still, the foreshadowing stuff is neat.

yes, no question

also, i think konami silently shut down the servers for the idroid app map connection halfway through my playthrough, but having hud off and no second screen map to consult actually made me a better player in the end. i think next time i play, i'll try to never look at the map at all when i'm on a mission.

the b side of the tape is the original Metal Gear data. MSX games were released on tape and that's what data sounds like put through an audio processor
