    Starting another week at home with my family. I have only left the house to run on the trail and get supplies. I am now done with all my baseball auctions and teaching again this year seems unlikely. I imagine we will be moving online, but doing a video production class online when the kids don't all have the software or hardware will be hard. So far my parents and in laws are healthy and so are we. I made a giant list of tv shows to start, finish, or rewatch during this and have a few books. I also have lots of bourbon around and seem to have one glass a night now.

    Hope everyone is doing ok, this is going to be challenging.

      Just download Divinity: Original Sin II and you have then next 300+ hours of your life covered.

      I've just started playing Metro: Exodus but it's kind of scary and the new Resident Evil game has taught me that I'm a wuss with that kind of shit.

        Lol look @ nots - called me an "ass clown". That would be very hurtful if it were from someone who wasn't such a vapid little bitch, lol.

          Games I've downloaded recently and my experience with them:

          - Resident Evil 2 --- A lot like the old school ones but with awesome graphics and whatnot. Kind of too scary for my sensitive self.
          - Metro: Exodus --- The world ended and a bunch of Russians live in the metro underneath Moscow. I really liked the first two games and this one is off to a good start but also very scary and dark and jumpy.
          - Wolfenstein II - The New Colossus --- Running around blasting the living shit out of Nazis in more and more clever ways? Sign me up. This is the game all the "alt-right" good people got so worked up about. After all, Nazis are people too, guys!
          - The Walking Dead: The Final Season --- Love this series. Almost no action and almost all story but it's been quite a ride. I tried to be a nice guy and make nice decisions but everyone ended up being pissed at me in the end. Guess there are no nice guys in the zombie apocalypse!
          - Jedi Fallen Order --- I started it and liked the action but for some reason stopped playing. Seems pretty high quality so far, though. I suck at puzzle games, though (also a problem with Resident Evil).
          - Dragon's Dogma --- An RPG game I got for mega cheap, like $6, with great reviews. I've only played it a little bit.

          Might buy Red Dead Redemption II if I can find it on sale.

              Wolfenstein was available on several platforms if I remember correctly.

                I just downloaded AoE III, a game I loved maybe 20 years ago, and have been playing that the last few days.

                  I've tried it, but couldn't get into it sadly. I can see why people love this game, but I can't seem to get into RPG's anymore in general. When I was younger I loved this genre.

                    Damn, I guess I see why the republicans don't like the new Wolfenstein. Still, one hell of a fun game. I lasered about 150 Nazis into little piles of steaming goo on the ground within an hour of starting playing.

                          No, but the trailers interested me. Is it any good?

                            PC. It's for sale for like $12 right now, too.

                              I'm a couple episodes in. It's a tad cheesy but worth the watch so far.

                                I watched it. I thought some of the goofiness was unnecessary, but overall liked it. Intrigued by the ending.
