So I think this is going to be a really short update because I don't find myself online all that much during my time away from work. Nothing really planned for this week besides some smaller stuff. My wife and I are going for a hike today and then maybe out to a local hot dog place. We might even hit up a mini golf place but we really haven't decided yet. Tomorrow I've got lunch with a fellow church member and I think Thursday I'm going to my mother's and then installing a clothesline for my wife. Friday I don't have anything planned and it'll more than likely be my chill out day.
One personal goal I have for this week it to work on some of my backlogged games and I'm happy to say that last night I popped in Cabela's Trophy Bucks. It's an easy completion but one I've been putting off for way too long. With the To-Do List Challenge I'm probably going to focus on those specific games but I won't be able to start that until tomorrow June 1st.
Some of our sessions have been a bit rough lately and I know others have been frustrated just like I've been. It got me thinking to about what we are really trying to do here. We like to play games to have fun, not sit in a menu and attempt to connect to a game for a hour or so and then lose precious game time. So I sort of implemented a new rule which I think will help us all, on those tougher achievement nights we're going to attempt to connect to matches for 15 minute and then if we can't, we'll switch to another achievement / mode I believe this will help us be more productive and less frustrated.
I've also recently started back up with Resident Evil 5 with JohnPicklewilly and I've forgotten how much I like that game. We're already at least halfway through the game but we've got another playthrough when this one is done. We also started and finished the campaign in Resident Evil ORC on casual so I'm sure at some point we'll ramp it up some. This week has reminded me why gaming is so much fun.
On another brief topic, I've had some discussions with some members and I'm thinking about starting up a Tuesday night session for any basic random games some people might want to play. There is already a Far Cry 2 session going on at 7 so if I was to make another, it would probably be for 9pm. There isn't really going to be a specific game we're going to work on, it'll be more of a social event. As an example, people post what they'd like to play and if anyone wants to join in, great. If not we can still all get in the same party to be social while we are gaming. Might be a good time for some of us to work on their to-do lists. I know I personally need some help with Turok and I think some others need some help too. Just let me know what your thoughts may be.
