Finally at home in good ol’ Tennessee, and trying to get setup and back to work. While the 2,000 mile cross country trip went down, I was able to still get in a fair bit of gaming the last couple of weeks. Finishing of Scott Pilgrim, Hyrule Warriors, and playing a bit of Hitman 3 and starting a VR session of Subnautica: Below Zero.

I started the year off right, by playing through a few games. While still in the middle of moving, and nearing the end, I got through Bugsnax and ManEater and also finally finished Burnout Paradise, along with the Re-Release of Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game!

With a little better setup than last time, and a temp mic, I was able to get some recording done to talk about my favorite games this year. With another bad year in gaming history, at least I was able to find some games that were totally worth playing and quite a few of them were rad. Here is my list of my top 10 games of the year for 2020.

With recording and gaming equipment in several different locations across the country, I have to resort to a crappy headset mic to record the podcast on, so I apologize for the quality in advance. I haven’t played many games lately, but I did at least completed Miles Morales on my PS4 and played a bit of both WatchDogs Legion and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on Amazon’s Luna streaming service and my normal gaming PC.

As a wise wallaby once said “Moving day can be a very stressful day”. We are moving across the country, headed towards Tennessee and gaming takes a literal backseat for a bit in my life. In those small amounts of free times, I do get to play a bit and I finally completed some really enjoyable games… and some not so great.

As The Go-Go’s said, Vacation was all that I ever wanted, so I finally took one. I didn’t get much accomplished in the last month or so, but I was able to finish a second playthrouh of Control, and experienced the DLC featuring everyone’s favorite Stephen King stand-in, Alan Wake. Plus transported myself back to 1999 again to play through the Tony Hawk Remake game.

Work has kept gaming at an arms length so I spent most of this month binge watching a few series of shows and a ton of documentaries. In the few weekends I was able to get into the Final Fantasy VII Remake and also the PC Port of Horizon: Zero Dawn.

E3 never came, and we are all left wondering what the heck is coming out, while as we speak there might be a press confrere or two that are happening… No one knows! I did manage to play a couple shorter games thanks to Gamepass and Epic Game Store.

Smaller gaming experiences are really the focal point of this episode, as I talk about a few games that can be completed in a single sitting. It’s a long one, so sit back and enjoy!

Gamepass aided me in being able to blast through a few new games that might have been smaller in size, but made up for with interesting stories and gameplay that veered off a bit of what I normally play

I did it! I finally finished The Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, and also the follow up, The Two Thrones. Then I took a break from combat heavy games and settled down with some good ol’ Chad Muska and Rodney Mullen’s Pro Skater.

After what seems like forever, a couple of really fun games have come out. I talk about both Streets of Rage 4 and Moving Out. Plus I finally returned to the Prince of Persia series to finally try and finish Warrior Within after about 15 years.

Another musical podcast episode. Throw on a pair of headphones and trip the light fantastic with DJ Mix-Master Miles as he drops some beats that are sure to put you in the right mood.

So many games…. some older, some brand new. After Sean begs me to play, I finally got into Hallow Knight and loved it! Also, the big VR game, Half-Life: Alyx changes how we are going to interact with objects forever.

Elizabeth takes time out of her schedule counting bells to inform me of how the Animal Crossing series actually works and why it’s just so darn addicting.

And now for something completely different… This episode is more of me just wanting to play some music for you to enjoy for a bit.

I got sick and wasted over a week playing a ton of games. I finally got around to the Ori games and had a blast! I’m also going through Black Mesa for the first real time and also went for A Short Hike

Instead of playing Dave Mirra 3, I decided to play the Playstation remake of Road Rash and also dipped my toes into the Subnautica sequel Below Zero.

I don’t want to be a rude boy, and it’s been a while. So instead of wasting time, I’m here to pick it up and talk about the movies and games I’ve been playing for the last month or so.

Welcome to the New Year! I break down the first couple of weeks of games I’ve been playing, but first I need to explain why the Star Wars Prequels suck, after watching the entire series back to back to back to back…
