Finished The Swapper this week. I kind of regret that I had to cheat (saw a hint, but not a solve) the last puzzle. I didn't relaize it was the last one at the time, and I had spent more time on it than I had the rest of the game combined. Started a new playthrough to try the other "choice" at the end.

I really like the new auto-screen shot feature when you get a trophy and being able to look back through them from the trophy menu.

Bless you, Sean O'Neal.

Miss America being involved is awesome. She should be in A-Force.

2PM Eastern and the PSN Store still hasn't updated! I want to playyyyyyyyyy it.

After a week I'm finally able to consistently make runs to clear the bonfire mob, drop down and clear the kennel, up through the wheelchair house, cheese the two werewolves into getting stuck in the doorway, kill the ogre & crows and get back to the Cleric Beast lantern.

As relevant to the article, Child of Light for XBONE will be free with Gold in April.

I'm enjoying it in small doses so far, but I realized that through at least the first ten encounters you can set it to 'auto" and watch your party win with no input.

And until now I had yet to bite on an iOS Final Fantasy game, but I downloaded Final Fantasy Record Keeper on Thursday and have been doing two or three "missions" per day.

I loved, loved, loved Child of Light. Transistor is beautiful (and that music!) but somehow I'm terrible at it.

I got an auto-update this afternoon on PS4.

My wife has a blue advertising measuring glass and every time she uses is she mentions how great it is. I had no idea this was a thing.

Codex Unlocked: Scout Harding. Sounds promising!

Laid is one of my favorite records of all time. I probably haven't gone a month without listening to it since 93.

If you have a PS3/PSP/Vita a crazy flash sale just popped up on PSN. 70+ games less than a dollar each. Some really good ones in there too.

I did like it. I thought the puzzles were easy enough to avoid frustration while occasionally tough enough to make me feel smart for figuring them out (The Swapper is also excellent in this regard.)

I've been stuck on 120 Mega Glalie for almost two weeks. I still refuse to spend coins on a "cheat" somewhat out of principle of wanting to beat it without but also because I can't even get him below 1/3 health and I don't think the boost would help.

I liked the XV demo a lot. A lot, a lot.

I love the on screen quest system interface and the end-battle EXP tally.
