It's December! Which means vacations and deadlines. Which mean unreliable schedule to post weekly threads. So, bear with me this month, I'll try to post them on time, but if I don't, don't worry, we should get back to normal weekly posts from January.

And since this post is so late, going to make it a post for this week and the next. Now, games!

Playing Fortnite, my kid regularly plays it, but when I saw the Lego Fortnite trailer I got intrigued, gave it a try and loving it. Also playing Rocket Racing mode. Haven't gotten a chance to try the third one, Festival I guess it's called.

All other games are on pause due to lack of free time, except for Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, the smaller size of Vita makes it much easier to lug around, so getting some hours in the game when I don't have anything else to do.

That's all from my end, what about all of you? What have you been playing? Or meaning to play over the holidays?

It's the weekend, my dudes.

Baten Kaitos New Game Minus progress is slow. I don't play it very often right now but when I do, I get a lot done. Some enemies have begun to outspeed me, but I've only had a character die to bad defense RNG once so far.

I've spent most of my time with Arkham Origins lately. I've 100% the main game and New Game Plus (which is an odd name for hard mode), I've beaten the Cold Cold Heart DLC and have just begun the Challenge maps. When I started the game, I completely forgot it takes place during christmas, so it's an accidentally fitting game.

I'm deep enough into Shantae on the Game Boy to have more of an opinion on it. The game has two faces: The dungeons, which are a joy to be in and the overworld which is an awful slog. The game has fast travel, but it takes a long time to unlock it. And the constant back and forth makes me impatient enough to just jump into a pit and be reset to the beginning of the area. I probably could have beaten the game by now if I played it more, but I'm playing too many games at once...

Speaking of too many games, I dug out my save file for Pokemon Infinite Fusion again and finally finished off most of the post game.

How is Arkham Origins' performance on Switch?

I hope they added QoL features in Shantae when they brought it to Switch.

Origins isn't part of the Arkham Trilogy that is on the Switch. It's the awkward black sheep that isn't as bad as people say, but deserves most of the criticism.

Ah, I confused it with Knight. Yeah, Origins is the one they act as it didn't exist.
