Well. I’m aware I haven’t really posted here too often.
I apologize for that. Let me get a few updates here, then.
First off -
Most Recent Reviews
I noticed that the most recent review I’ve posted here was The Surge back in May. I’ve had a few more since then.

I’m also currently working on a review for MUDRUNNER: A Spintires Game - but it’s slow going. Playthroughs and what-not eating into the time I’ve had to play the game (Again, a shout-out to Evolve for providing the code for this one as well.)
Most Recent Playthroughs
On top of having gotten a few more reviews done, there have been a few playthroughs started, completed and halted since then as well.
For instance: Final Fantasy XV finished up back in June.
Final Fantasy XIII & XIII-2 have both completed as well.
Lightning Returns was also started, but unfortunately - I haven’t yet had a chance to go back and continue it.
Getting away from Final Fantasy for a moment - I also finished a Good Karma playthrough of inFAMOUS: Second Son. I had intended to also follow up with First Light, but haven’t had time.
I've also finished up all of the Street Fighter V Season 2 DLC character trials. I also got a few of the base character’s trials in there - but haven’t had a chance to record the rest of them. I like to work on those when I’m bored and have nothing else to do.
The biggest playthrough of last year, though, certainly goes to Bloodborne. That was the Halloween Havoc playthrough for 2017.
I’m going to admit - I was a bit nervous about doing it. I’m not exactly good at the Souls games, even though I do enjoy them, and I was worried this playthrough might run well over the 31 days available in October.
Surprisingly, though - it ended up running short. It also ended in a way that I may never repeat.
The Slugfest has been going fairly well also. Made it up to Silver rank with Kolin recently - though I also just dropped back down to Ultra Bronze. Close to getting back, though!
Yikes - I just saw that the last Slugfest I posted here was #47 back in 2016....I’m up to #76 now.
Has it seriously been over 30 weeks? Jeeze. Sorry about that.
I’m actually really excited about Arcade Edition that drops soon. Will certainly have more content created for that - likely arcade mode runs with each character, as well as trials for the Season 3 cast (CODY IS BAAAAACK) and, if it comes around, another story playthrough.
Last but not least - The Surge got a bit of story-based DLC, which I played through (AGAIN thanks to Evolve PR, seriously - it seems like you guys almost singlehandedly provided me with my 2017 games.)
I thiiink that about covers everything - it’s always weird how a post like this can reveal to yourself just how much you’ve actually done when you take a moment to actually look back on it.
Looking forward to what may come this year....and also, I hope I can post here more often.
