A few of the things that had us hooked this past week.
11th January
Hello and Happy Saturday (if you celebrate such things)!
Did you have a nice week?

I’m pleased to report that I’m loving Village at the moment.
I get scared at the most trivial things, such as a hanging object moving or a door closing.
I knew I’d love its zany storytelling, turn-based combat and RPG trappings.
I didn’t know I’d love them this much, though.
It’s entirely bizarre, but also a genuinely well-crafted send-up of the genre.
and the Yokohama Cosmo Clock 21 - it’s surprisingly accurate.
And it’s allowed me to appreciate more thoroughly the game’s nuanced take on modern day Japan.
But I’m having such a great time with Like A Dragon I don’t want to rush it.
I’m utterly enthralled.
You know, standard stuff.
I am also doing more of the little side quests that Lara gets asked to carry out.
And you know, it has actually been a very chill way to spend my evenings.
I am now just enjoying taking some explorative snowy walks with Lara, while staying warm and dry myself.
Those sunny shores can wait a little bit longer.
