Dude's Chronicles 7-5-2018: The Heat is Too Hot

On top of the daunting heat, going back to work after a Wednesday holiday felt like a second Monday.

Entertainment

• Star Wars: The Last Jedi - This is a bad movie. I've watched it several times to find something to redeem it and there is nothing. I say this as a Star Wars fan.
• Hellboy II: The Golden Army - I just needed something to watch after The Last Jedi and I wanted it to be something I enjoy.
• Luke Cage: Season 2 - I could not finish it without falling asleep so I just picked up where I woke up and watched what was left. This was not a good season. It was slow and the plot was bad. Don't bother watching it would be my recommendation.
• The Unlikely Herocast: Episode 4 - Chuck and I spent some time on the 4th of July to talk about our games we've been playing this year. He's editing it but I'll add a link when he is done.

Games

• XCOM 2 - Aaaaanndddd....It's finished. That last mission was a real motherfucker and proves the game loves to make you hate it by making you hate yourself for playing it. The some DLC is on sale so I bought it but I need a break from this game.
• The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit - It was a short game but served as a nice setup piece as intended. It looks and feels like Life is Strange, that about all there is to say. The game itself gave me some technical issues with my screen resolution, that was frustrating.

News

• Twitch Prime - Amazon is giving out 21 games this mont and some of them are relatively new. Make sure you go get them if you are a Prime member.
• Twitch bans - In an effort to clean up the toxicity that is too abundant on Twitch, they have given 30 day bans to a couple streamer due to their conduct. Good on Twitch for this but this is just a drop in the bucket. Journey of a thousand steps, hopefully.
• There isn't much new this week and that might be due to the holiday.

Closing Arguments

With XCOM 2 finished I'm looking into my backlog for what to play next since there is anything releasing soon that I am interested in. To that point, I've hooked my PS3 back up. It's a weird move but there are a couple games that I own for it that I never played. Rather than go buy games for the PC or current consoles I'm stepping back a console. The only problem is I still don't know which one I want to play, argh.
