Is it weird that I don't really want to nom anything other than Super Mario Odyssey this month?

If you really want a particular game, nominating less than your limit will certainly give it better odds

Oh, well I always do sidequests and fight a lot of battles anyway so that probably won't bother me.

I should say that they, except for a few unique ones, are all about killing X amount of Y monster or collect B amount of C item.

Also, the Bears have released QB Jay Cutler and C Scott Mruczkowski. I am an idiot and didn't get their contract info yet, but I am confident that Cutler's is the same as Russell and Reid's given they have the same rating and are similar in age. Same with Mruczkowski and Goddard.

With that, the deadline to release players has ended for R1 of free agency

It forces you to do sidequests and stuff for cash to pay off a plot-related debt before you can progress the plot.

I also made heavy progress in Oxenfree. I should probably put most of this in spoiler tags

Normally, I wouldn't do a lot of the things Alex did like go into the cave after Jonas and keep tuning the radio in it, but I want to experience as much as possible. When given the choice to go help Ren and Clarissa, I decided to go after Clarissa if only because I thought that I would eventually learn more about her. While I kind of did from side conversations with Alex and Jonas, I was thinking more from the actual source.

Things got fucking real when I thought she was possessed and threw herself off the building at Fort Milner, but her body wasn't there, so I honestly have no idea what to believe about anything in this game. I am currently at some campgrounds after getting off a cable car heading to where Ren is. There has been no talk about Nona since before I first entered that cave.

As an aside, I got 2/3 questions on the test correct. I only missed the last one talking about how many victims. I will not be happy if there are huge consequences from that.

KCF has beaten Advance Wars

I had 821 or 871 points (suck it Fenny), and a B ranking. My stubbornness paid off in the final mission. Three times, I felt like I had no chance in winning the battle. All three times, I decided to press on (mostly because I didn't want to admit defeat and waste all the time I sunk into it). I eventually discovered that I needed to trick Sturm by Making a bunch of bombers and fighters with Grit and Sami, which forces Sturm to make a lot of anti-air stuff. Then, I use Andy to make a bunch of medium tanks and missiles to destroy Sturm's forces.

Pros for Xillia 2:
- Ludger's contributions to battle
- Battling in general saw some improvements
- Returning characters are mostly improved, especially Gaius and Alvin

Cons for Xillia 2:
- Excessive reuse of assets from Xillia
- Tales of games generally have poor non-party characters. This game has about as few new non-party characters as the Symphonia sequel did, and like that game, none are remotely good.
- Touches on a few intriguing themes along with some intense moral dilemmas but ultimately cast them aside, undermine their importance, or implement them poorly.

The debt system was dumb, but it never got in my way based on how I played the game. I can definitely see why it would be a huge con for others, but not a pro.

I'm sure there are others for both categories, but I can't think of them off the top of my head. I don't play Tales games for their stories or characters, so I overall have a positive outlook on the game.

Finally after 3 years, me and my bro finished Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze (Wii U)

f*** that final boss, it took us 3 days to beat.

I actually don't remember any of the bosses being that difficult in Tropical Freeze, but this reminded me that I had 130-150 lives in DKCR entering the final boss, and I left with a dozen.

Massey was the #2 or 3 overall pick four seasons ago. He is still under his rookie contract

Is that just a straight up 4th or are there conditions like what happens with the 49ers and Dolphins trade?

Also, I can't do the trade in its current format because both teams have to give up and receive something for each part of the trade. This is a two-part trade where only one part can be done.

Other than the new mechanics that Ludger, the main character, brings to battle, it's worse across the board. If you like Tales of games, it is still one of the better ones.

Seeing a Team Flare member to the side of the gym upon exiting, Serena stops me and, ugh, wants to battle daily. Luckily, that is after the journey is over, and with no guarantee that I will play whatever post-game content is available to me, I don't feel so awful. During our conversation, the worst kept secret came out. Lysandre went on the Holo whatever and essentially stated that he heads Team Flare and will intends to wipe out most of the human race. I'd be surprised if that famous weapon that was mentioned way back somehow only affects humans, but whatever. Team Flare goons mentioned Magenta Plaza and Lysandre's Cafe. Combine that with Serena mentioning about going to Lumiose City, and I guess we have our next destination.

I had many options to replace Pyroar. I didn't want a high-leveled Pokemon since I like building them up. I also didn't want one that had to be traded to evolve, so between Binacle, Cubchoo, Vanillite, and Hippopotus, I went with Vanillite.

Current Team
Lv 64 Greninja
Lv 60 Vespiquen
Lv 56 Roserade
Lv 55 Malamar
Lv 49 Toxicroak
Lv 20 Vanillite

I can't explore south of Anister City, so I guess I have to deal with this Team Flare mess pronto. I went into the cafe, and just wanted to talk to the staff to get an idea of what to do, and the most surprising and maybe funniest line of the game appeared in the text block. "Today's special is get out of here or else." Sorry "THEY'RE FILTH!" but I think we have a new winner.

I opened the secret door but didn't feel like going through the lab not knowing how long it would take.

Further in Anister City, I found a lonely old man who wants a Level 5 or worse Pokemon to look after. I felt bad and went out of my way to get him a Pokemon. I caught the first repeat Pokemon that fit his criteria, and he is now taking care of Scatterbug. I can apparently take it back, but I don't care. Have fun with Scatterbug, or as much enjoyment you can have with insects.

I put it off for as long as I could, but I went to the gym to face Serena. She now has four Pokemon. The new scrub is Vaporeon. Her Meowstic and Chestnaut were much better than the last time I faced her, but maybe the game intentionally makes her harder when you face against her and makes her weaker when she is teaming up with you. I can sense Serena is finally making headway in the stages of grief.

Into the actual gym, I find out it is a psychic-type gym. I like the artistic design, but the gym was an obnoxiously long "maze." They called it a maze, but it was a liberal use of the term. Toxicroak seemed to be the only one weak to psychic moves (assuming I identified moves somewhat correctly), but I mostly used Greninja, Vespiquen, and Malamar. I won the badge, but no mention of the move Waterfall again. I have come across two or three instances where a waterfall impeded my progression. With only one badge left, I guess it will happen soon.

Pyroar isn't working out. High speed is nothing if your attack and defense are complete garbage. I guess it's back to the drawing board, but at least that means I can see more evolutions.

Riding on the appeased Mammoswine took some getting used to because that camera angle in the beginning is awful. I don't know why it takes some time for it to zoom out. I caught Sneasel, Snover, and Delibird. At the end of the ride, I was hit with some bad news, Serena wants to fight again. I feel like I should get a say in this, but maybe this is a way to empathize with the Pokemon who also hardly get a say in anything.

Reaching Anister City, I was told by someone who might be Sycamore's disciple that someone named Dexio couldn't make it and something about someone knowing about the legendary Pokemon. I have a hard time remembering names in this game (Dexio? Girl who might be a disciple?) other than the Sycamore, the group of kids, Lysandre, and maybe a few gym leaders. Oh, and that legendary Pokemon expert gave me a long-winded speech to let me know that deer live in forests. Thanks, I wouldn't have thought that.

This O-Power guy used to be in hotels, and now I only see him in Pokemon Centers standing in a corner, facing the corner. A lot of people do that. I am starting to suspect that instead of anything resembling a typical criminal justice system, those who break the law are forced to stand in a corner in lieu of prison time. Any coincidence that there are no criminal justice figures in the game? I think not! All the government's budget seems to go to Pokemon-related programs and research plus transportation.

There's a Pokemon memory girl here. Let's see what she has to say:
- Malamar's proudest moment is buying Paralyze Heals at the Pokemon Center
- Delibird got emotional that I beat the crap out of it and threw a Poke Ball at it (sounds legit)
- Toxicroak was overwhelmed by emotion going to a factory and seeing machines that looked complicated
- Vespiquen was teary-eyed after evolving on a tree-lined road after being raised by me (aww)

"Make a bivovac" - some girl in the cavern
- Do what now?

I found a clown Pokemon with water wings holding a steel beam. It calls itself Gurdurr. You can't make this stuff up.

I eventually discovered that Team Flare was unsurprisingly involved, though kudos for not making it super obvious by having them all over the cavern. This Abomasnow may also be involved. I was excited for the chance of teaming up with Trevor and not Serena, but I was mistaken when it appeared Trevor was going to assist. After crushing Team Flare again, Abomasnow doesn't reward me by coming along but instead with an item that will allow it to Mega Evolve. I would rather have Abomasnow.

I caught two more Pokemon here in Bergmite and Vanillite. I also have over 1,000,000 of the in-game currency. Do I have enough money now to never have to worry about cash? I don't even know what to spend money on aside from the occasional Poke Ball and clothing item. I have used the money O-Power like 80% of all O-Power uses, so I might start doing other ones if I have more than enough cash.

Further inside the Frost Cavern (ice movement was hardly an obstacle), I met a Black Belt named Alonso. He was upset with me, throwing accusations around that I was trying to thwart his attempts at finding love, or maybe it was just love period. He was next to an ice pillar, and while I am one to judge in this game, I don't want to know. Assuming the best of this terrible options, why are you looking for love in a fucking ice cave? At least Litleo involved in Pyroar at the conclusion of the battle.

Next up was Battle Girl Kinsey. She was glad to finally lock eyes with someone. Just how long has she been in here if none the half a dozen or more people I met up to this point were there? Not only that, but thirty feet directly in front of her was Alonso. After the battle, she even admits to locking eyes with Alonso. I know he has issues, but he's still someone.

The crazies are clearly back in full swing. I finally understand the danger that Mammoswine was worried about. It was those people.

I later found an isolated room off the beaten path. It contained a bright rock covered in ice that I could do nothing with. That was not worth exiting, getting Binacle, and coming back. Now I have to do it again.

The concept is self-explanatory. Post each game you beat, along with their platform, throughout the year.

You are also free to put in what games you beat in the Google word doc linked at the bottom of the post. Feel free to fiddle around with color choices for your entries in the word doc if you would like to record your information in it. If not, someone with time on their hands might do it for you.

Given Andre's skill set, he will likely be around for four more seasons since his rating won't dip below 90 during his career.

Rating declines that also affect overall ratings due to age for WR are solely tied to speed. Andre has one of the highest catch ratings in the league, so I won't be surprised if he's still 93 when he's 34.

It has always been allowed, and there was even one during the draft. You just have to make it so each person gives up and receives something during the years in question.

Like if this trade goes through, all that I can do now is trade the players. Once I have access to next season's picks, I can then trade those picks. I will have to wait until that point in the following season to complete the trade.

The problem with these trades is that they require the users to remain with the league, but in the few trades that were like this, we've never run into that dilemma.
