Year In Review 2023

I love these year in review things as the crop up. So the first up that I’ll post are my books from Goodreads in 2023:

I didn’t read much this year, which sort of goes with the territory of everything I’m juggling I suppose. I’ll maybe talk about that more as time catches up with us in pictures rather than here though.

How about some gaming next though?

Nintendo is cool because everyone has their own Nintendo account. If I was to do my Playstation year in review, in comparison, it’s skewed because everyone uses my Playstation account.

One I wasn’t expecting was my YouTube year in review. I forget I’m technically flagged as a creator there, but they sure don’t let me forget.

Turtles Incoming

As you can maybe see, I’m a big fan of the TMNT games. Always have been. They were a comfort game for me growing up, especially TMNT III and IV. I’d do my best to speed run them and try to beat my previous times (way before the Internet and finding out speed running was actually a thing.)

Now that I’m raising a new generation of gamers though, I’m going to record playthroughs of each of the Cowabunga Collection games and, when possible, invite at least one of my kids to join me as we play.

How else am I going to easily fit “back in my day” narrative into the conversation? :p

So here’s your warning going forward. Once I hit those playthroughs they’ll probably be a series until they’re complete, and naturally time and responsibility inserts itself so I haven’t been able to play they as closely together as I would have otherwise have liked.

But the project begins with this post now that I have the collection in hand. 🙂
