Hello to me (who else would want to read this rubbish)

Well then I quit my mind numbing stress full retail job manager of 5 years a few weeks ago (26th April), so until I get my ass into gear and figure out my future I am mainly playing through my backlog of games i've bought and never played and the stupid amount of PS+ games to keep myself sane.

Not doing too bad so far. Got my Platinum on inFamous second son just before finishing up my notice period at "work" and since then re-played through the PS4 version of Tomb Raider achieving more of the trophies than I had managed on the PS3 version the first time round. I've also completed Stick it to the Man (100% Trophies), such a short game but no complaints had fun with it and even ventured back to my PS3 and finally played Brothers (also 100% Trophies).

I wasn't sure I really enjoyed Brothers until I realised that I had finished in 2 attempts at playing it and noticed I lost an entire day to it. Although playing this game did make me think about my younger brother who passed away almost 1 year ago so the ending was a bit of a kicker. The game was a refreshing change tho and more games need to embrace the no combat mechanic and give us a pure adventure, games like Tomb Raider and Uncharted could both gives entire sections of their games just exploring areas filling out the stories cutting out the wave upon wave of pointless enemies.

Anyways this is gonna be my way to keep track on what i'm trying to play, just started South Park The Stick of Truth, lets see how it goes not an RPG fan but it's South Park so at least I must finish it, and I also think I finally download Octodad maybe play it with my dusty move controllers see how that goes??
