Okay. The Campaign Thing. (SP?) (Destiny)

Oh my god, how? The first thing I did was beeline to ever tower to open the map up. I do just love exploring. It's so good in this game. Just climbing a mountain and looking around is an incredible experience.

I get to a new area, and then all I want to do is explore the entirety of it and find the shrines and whatever else may be around. I see all these towers off in the distance, but I'm getting to them as I go. I found the Zora by total accident while climbing and gliding and swimming. Most of my time has been spent in the bottom right area of the map, and I'm pushing my way west (and also into Hyrule Field, where getting that tower was an insane nightmare that I somehow managed to pull off).

I played up through like Act 4 of Sonic Mania. I think I stopped when Uncharted came out. It's definitely good, but I've never been a big Sonic fan, so I'm not really sure I'll end up going back to it.

I played like 20 hours of Splatoon 2 before Sonic came out. Super fun game, but now that Destiny is out, it doesn't really stand a chance.

Sonic was my first video game, and it may have also been my first comic. I have a few of the comics, and I think it's awesome that Cody has them all. I never did get the final issue of Mecha Madness, but I did manage to read how it ended in a compendium many years later. I've thoroughly enjoyed Sonic Mania so far, and I look forward to getting back to it. But Zelda just took over everything until D2!

Are you a fan of old school Final Fantasy, by any chance? If so, make sure to get the demo for Octopath Traveler from the eShop. The Switch is shaping up to be quite an awesome little machine. I love it to death, and it's getting the games to back it up. I want every indie game on that thing.

Yes. FFVI is by far my favorite, and I haven't even touched anything past X (though I hear that some of them are really great). Which reminds me that I'm still in the middle of a playthrough in VI on my DS (GBA cartridges work in it). Octopath Traveler is absolutely on my radar for 2018 at this point (it wasn't earlier, oddly). Did you ever play The Last Story on the Wii? Or Lost Odyssey on the 360 (which I think is now available on Xbox One)? It'll only add more games to your list if you haven't, but they're fantastic. Both are from Mistwalker. Lost Odyssey is definitely my favorite of the two, though. That story and those characters. And the music.

Also, Divinity Original Sin 2 is out now! I loved the first one, so I'd like to make time for the sequel at some point, but the first one was like a 50+ hour RPG, and I bet the second isn't any shorter and I just don't have the time.

I never played the original and probably won't play this one because of how much time they take. I'm still debating whether or not I want to commit to Xenoblade when it comes out.

And, to be honest, I really want to play The Witcher 3 some more. Before Horizon Zero Dawn came out this year, I had just finished my fourth play through of that game, and I was looking forward to playing through both the expansions for the second time, but Horizon pulled me away.

Speaking of which, Horizon's expansion will be out in November, and I'd honestly like to play through the base game again before that hits, too.

I need a clone to go to work for me or something, because that's not all going to happen.

Yeah no kidding. I got Mario Kart for the Switch and haven't played it yet. I'm sure I'll get to it by November. :P
