I’ll be back to full streaming schedule this coming week, and since the Medieval Dynasty Week challenge was fully funded last week, that’s what’s on the schedule this week! Also of note: this week’s “game awards” game is going to take me jumping through a few “hoops” to stream. I will be without my camera and overlays for it, and sitting on the couch so I can play hubby’s Xbox – but I’m REALLY looking forward to playing this game on stream, so we will just have to deal with it. Super looking forward to next week!

I would be very remiss if I didn’t mention the classic game “Minesweeper” at least once in this year’s game retrospective. As I’ve mentioned, my early history with games was very limited. Tetris and Minesweeper, (and to a lesser extent Solitaire and Freecell) however, were part of my early game education. I very much remember competing with my dad for high score on the family’s computer. I could never beat him in solitaire or freecell, and rarely in Tetris, but for some reason, I COULD beat him in Minesweeper. So I did. repeatedly. I usually played on “Expert” and he had the worst time trying to keep up with me on times. (Which was a big thing, because he usually won at EVERYTHING!)
