February of course means the Blind Lady Ale House Cape Run. Most of the usual suspects were there this time, plus Jessica and Shar.
Steady progress on the garage annex. I leveled another section but ran out of cinder blocks (having used 100ish, total).

After a couple of months, Monster Hunter World is finally out of beta and flying off of store shelves.
A dozen hours in, I still have very little understanding how to properly play the game. It has a bunch of everything - equipment, crafting, collectibles, stat boosters, etc. Most importantly: online co-op.

Few spoilers inside. But first, more renovation.
While thinking about re-sorting tools and stuff back into the garage annex, I decided to improve things in that area. The plan is to - piece by piece - replace the grade with flat concrete and retaining wall. The first two areas are bricked and poured, when they dry I can fill dirt back behind the wall so that the piers above sit on more level ground.

Santa brought me Horizon: Zero Dawn. Here's some media and discussion, nothing in the story beyond an hour of play is spoiled.
Sit-rep: you are Aloy, member of a hunter tribe in the distant future where modern man has disappeared and left only giant robotic dinosaurs.
As a child, you stumble on a wearable computer called a focus.
The device gives you something of a third eye, though plenty of other people have them.

As avid historians of video games, J and I have a pretty good depth and breadth of experiences. This'll be my first attempt at a list feature [l], written in 2019 but backdated to 2017 when he actually authored the list. Also it's actually a top eleven due to a last-minute addition/re-think.
The list demonstrates a pretty good breadth of experiences, I like that it covers the sandboxes, the RPGs, the cinematic games on rails, and of course the MMOFPSRPGs.

Assassin's Creed looked like Assassin's Creed. You get a bird this time. It lovely though.
Wha? Naboo fighter in Battlefront? Cooool. Same sort of deal, developers seem to be getting this gen of consoles really dialed in graphics-wise. But, y'know, innovation would be nice.
I wonder how much of a game they will release this time.
