★: You don’t get the joke.
★★: Gave your pet various afflictions and also made your car alarm go off, but at least this time it didn’t actively upset your stomach.
★★★: Definitely worth a viewing, but not more than one viewing.
★★★★: I am highly excited about a variety of different beverages, including but not limited to non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks.
★★★★★: Very funny, makes you happy.
★★★★★★: Wait, does this rating system go up this high? I thought we stopped at five stars.
★★★★★★★: Hold on, I made a mistake, this was just a test, this is not actually a seven-star review. It’s fewer stars than that. It’s all right, not this good.
★★★★★★★★: If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands! If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands! If you’re happy and you know it, please, for the love of Heaven above, tell me how you manage it, I am literally drowning in constant mental anguish and half the time I don’t know if I can hang on for another year or even another month. If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands!
★★★★★★★★★: Got the joke.
★★★★★★★★★★: What Are You Playing? Nothing.
Bonus question: What’s an activity that you really enjoy but you don’t do as often as you want to?
​Andrew Ross (@dengarsw): Well, Pokemon Go still motivates me to walk, but I’ve been trying Orna, another GPS-based game that thus far plays quite well without me having to walk, which is weird but it’s also the start of the game. Animal Crossing may see some attention too.
This bonus is too easy: weight lifting. Curse this decaying body that won’t let me lift like it used to!
Andy McAdams: More Final Fantasy XIV. With my SCH/SMN at 90, I’ve been slowly working my reaper up there. Despite, you know, everyone playing reaper, it’s a lot of fun. I’m also saving up to be able to level crafting some more. I like gathering and crafting in FFXIV because it’s just high touch enough that it’s satisfying to do, but low touch enough that I can let my mind wander while doing it.
Rock climbing/Bouldering. I love it (despite being uneased by heights), but my shoes and harness have been hanging in my closet for years without being used
Brianna Royce (@nbrianna, blog): In the middle of a big Star Wars Galaxies Legends cook – food, not the other thing, ahem – and wrapping up my latest run in Albion Online. After that, I’m debating between giving The Elder Scrolls Online another try or heading back into Lord of the Rings Online. I wanna do something for a few weeks before End of Dragons is here, but I also don’t want to feel bad when I leave again.
I haven’t been shopping or eaten in a restaurant in two years, so my gut was that, but really I’d just like to be able to take my kids to amusement parks again before they are tweens.
Chris Neal (@wolfyseyes, blog): I’m probably going to do a touch of Final Fantasy XIV, maybe a bit of Grim Dawn, and probably some form of driving or racing game. Really, I’m mostly going to be watching the clock tick down to the release of Monster Hunter Rise on PC.
Cooking. Since I work two jobs I don’t get to do the simple act of making food for the house bar two days out of the week, and sometimes I only have the energy to do it one day of the week due to being worn down by the aforementioned two jobs thing. I just love cooking. It’s my most fluent love language; if I make food for you, it’s because I care.
Eliot Lefebvre (@Eliot_Lefebvre, blog): Some FFXIV and probably some of the backlog I’ve built up on Steam over the holiday. It is, uh… a little shameful how many games I now have that I haven’t even touched yet.
I absolutely adore hiking, but sadly where my wife and I currently live has a dearth of good hiking trails for us to roam along so we don’t tend to get to it nearly as much as we’d like to. This makes both of us sad.
Sam Kash (@thesamkash): With Wintersday having ended in Guild Wars 2 I don’t have a regular evening game scheduled anymore. I’m still playing Cristales on Game Pass. I did find another online car brawler, Crossout, that is really fun. I can already see myself replacing Rocket League with this for all least a few weeks.
