Last Notes

➤Time for the game show! I knew about this even though I've never made it this far.
➤Some of these questions are just evil. No I don't know what color jinjo is where based on your limited text description of a level.
➤I seemed to remember most of the Grunty facts after only hearing them once.
➤I never missed a sound question either.
➤I think the action segments were the worst, actually. I had to fight some box monster with a time limit and died. You could lose a lot of health here, unlike the 1 HP per wrong answer everywhere else.
➤Took a few tries but I rescued Tooty!
➤Fake credits had me going a bit.
➤Oh, I have the exact notes needed to pass through this last door!
➤Another painting, so I do need to go back and grab more jiggies. Back to Rusty Bucket Bay then.
➤Last warp cauldrons are kind of close together, no? I suppose it will will save you a little time.
➤Oh, the save and quit goes straight to game over because you already saved Tooty! No need for the cutscene.

New game I played this week:
Moon Colony Bloodbath - Build up your moon colony and try to survive. Very interesting concept to have an engine builder that you need to start dismantling to stay alive. Having the single deck for events really adds tension when you're barely hanging on and need something good to happen.
We had a three player game which came down to the wire. Two of us tied when the game ended.

@nprofile…t2zk Any particular favorites on the soundtrack? Time to Goof Off pops in my head sometimes when I'm waiting for my work shift to end.

I've been rewatching the original Star Wars trilogy so now was a good time to replay a childhood favorite: Jedi Academy.
➤It's a first person shooter, but it's third person when using a lightsaber.
➤Lightsaber only if possible, that's why I'm here
➤Decided I'll play on the hardest difficulty (Jedi Master). Your max health/shield are halved.
➤I like the mission structure. Lots of variety and you get to pick/upgrade a force power each mission. You don't have to do all five for each section, but you'll miss out on another upgrade if you don't.
➤Tremors style sandworm level I remember well
➤Kyle Katarn movie when?
➤I'm saving often, but I did encounter an issue where the saved games weren't showing up in the list until I deleted some old ones. Some cutscenes were bugging out too, but I was able to skip them.
➤Steam has the manual. The force powers are different than what was printed. Force protection gives 75% damage reduction, not 90%.

I tried this recipe this weekend and I'm still eating through the leftovers. It's great! I swapped some of the soy sauce for fish sauce. It's going to become a staple for sure.

@nprofile…xlhv I've barely scratched the surface of their catalog. I'd heard about six albums.

For those so inclined here's my personal Game of the Year ranking. This is based on games I beat this year.

I cooked a turkey!
So, things didn't quite go as planned. The turkey was still partially frozen and I couldn't remove the neck and giblets. My wife poured some hot water into the turkey to help loosen it which wasn't enough.
We planned to spatchcock the turkey so I just started cutting through to remove the spine. This was tough as you might expect. I don't have that much physical strength, but I did get the spine removed. Then I was able to free the neck. Next was to break the breastbone to help flatten it, but I had to cut through that as well.
Well behind schedule I seasoned the turkey and put it in the oven. I had put a cookie sheet to catch some juices dripping off the legs outside the pan. I checked the temp after 90 minutes and the turkey needed more time. 30 more minutes it was done and we let it rest.
I carved as best I could, but I mostly removed the breast meat with my hands (with gloves, it was hot!). Family said it was delicious so I guess I did good!

New games I tried this week:
Project L (with expansions) - Solve spacial puzzles with your various shapes to get points. I somehow managed to win by one point. Fairly simple actions to take, but we were slowed by some thought provoking turns - especially with the ability to take extra actions. I'd play again.
