My gaming chair is supposed to come in today!! Excuse me while I glue myself to the window waiting on FedEx. 

I ordered the GTRacing 800a in purple. I got it pretty good on a Cyber Monday deal. 

Happy Friday all. For those of you wondering, my trip was great! Thanks for the birthday wishes.

FAR CRY NEW DAWN 

So I started Far Cry New Dawn last week. 

As a direct sequel to 5, it's pretty good! I. Love. The sawlauncher. Holy cow is that thing powerful! I also love that we meet Carmina. Though I wish the side characters were a bit more fleshed out. 

Some of the voice acting on the returning cast (Looking at you Nick Rye) is hella mid. :/ 

If anyone is up to trying some co op with me, DM me and we can work something out! 👍

FRIENDS OF MINERAL TOWN 

Well I'm back on Story of Seasons for a bit. Just a nice, little mental break from all the stuff going on right now. I'm slowly getting addicted again, haha. 

I've decided I'll marry Ran. But in order to get the confession trophy I need Cliff back. I hope I remember this time to trigger that cutscene. 

Ran may or may not be my phone lockscreen. 

My bisexual heart is so happy you can have same sex relationships.

Question of the day:

Inverted controls or normal?

Platinum 58 - LEGO: Harry Potter 1 - 4

I took a chance on this one. I got this on sale for like 4 bucks. And I have to say, it didn't disappoint. I LOVE Harry Potter (( Hufflepuff for life. )) But I wasn't quite sure if I liked the whole LEGO aspect. But I truly enjoyed every second I had with this game!! It was refreshing, cute, charming, and funny. 

10 / 10, do recommend.

Well. On the gaming side of things, 

I finally upgraded my headset to a Turtle Beach Recon 200 Gen 2. I got it open box for 20 bucks. It fits better, though it is a bit .... Top heavy. If that makes sense. Like if I move my head too much it slides around. 

The cups are A LOT more comfy than my other pair! Memory foam. 🥰🥰 My only issue with it is the mic doesn't mute when I flick it up like it said it would. My audio is a lot clearer according to my friends. And I got some cute pink cat ears to go on top. Maybe the ears are making them slip off my head, haha. 

Not to say my official Sony licensed PDPs were BAD. They worked and did the job for about 2 years. Nothing is wrong with them. Just the ear cups, if I wore them for more than about 20 minutes or so, would start to press my glasses into my scalp .... Yeah, that hurt. 

Do you guys have any experience with PDP Gaming or Turtle Beach? 

I'm glad I upgraded. 

I got a headset stand with RGB lights from 5 Below. I think they're part of some ..... Bugha Collection. They look nice though!

Hey Moonbears!! 

I'm going through a bit of a rough time. As some may know, my mother passed away recently after battling severe health issues for 12 years. Well. Her birthday is coming up. Aug. 30th, to be exact. And I'm just having a hard time dealing recently. I should be starting up therapy again soon. 

My dad and brother don't want to make a big deal about it. But I don't want to let the day go by as just another day. But on the other hand, I don't want to be wallowing in sadness either. 

Just having a hard time. 

I'm sorry if anyone has felt shafted or cut off by me. I'm really not meaning to! I'm just trying to heal. 

Bless.

My Squad and I won Warzone twice last night! So proud. 😭😭 I'm getting better. I changed my loadout to a different sniper rifle and it does GREAT. Popping headshots. I even had a Warzone dream, lol. I'm still a n00b, but we have fun. X3 

Except when my friends leave me to die in the gas. 🙃🙃 It was a noble sacrifice since they secured the victory.

Update on GameStop:

They actually reached out to me. I'm a bit surprised. They asked me if I would like them to "bring [my] concerns to the manager." And asked me for my store location I got it from, etc. I told them I was simply confused, but I didn't want to take any action. The poor lady was just doing her job. The disc itself looked completely new, so I believe her.

Question of the day:

Do you guys think if a product is open box ( claims to never have been used, but the package is clearly open ), then the product is in "new" condition? Should it be priced as new condition. 

I got a game from jolly old GameStop, and it was supposed to be a new SEALED copy. ( That's what I think of as new. ) The lady, however, gets the disc from the drawer, and, to get credit, assembles it right in front of me. The cow that comes with the game was in packaging, and the game instead has all the original inserts / codes / etc. 

I've heard GS does this if you just so happen to buy the last copy, is the game they use to display on the shelf. Now usually when I would get a display copy, they would get me a SEALED game from behind the counter. But this is the first time they brought up the disc in a sleeve / open box before. 

Now if the price difference wasn't too bad ( Used and new was only a dollar difference in this case) I would have brought it up the fact I wanted a new SEALED copy. But since it was only a dollar between new and used, and I watched the lady put the game together, I chose not to make a big deal. 

I just wanted to get opinions on this. Debate down in the comments if you wish.

LEGO HARRY POTTER

Okay, I LOVE it a lot more than I was expecting. I've always been a big fan of the movies (( Hufflepuff for life! )), And the LEGO adaptation really is a breath of fresh air! It makes me curious as to what other LEGO games I might like. I've got my eye on LEGO Pirates. I think the platinum, should I decide to go for it, shouldn't be that difficult. Just finding a lot of stuff and miscellaneous trophies.

Hey Moon Bears! Been a while. A lot of life things have been going on. Thought I might log back in for a quick catch up. 

Platinum 55 - Spirit: Lucky's Big Adventure. 

Yes, I know this game is "for kids." But I love Spirit! My mother passed away back in November, and the first Spirit movie was the first movie I ever saw in theaters. So when the sequel hit the theaters, I was so glad I got to experience that with her before she passed. So, in a way, playing the game was sort of my way of coping, I suppose. It was mindless fun, definitely what I had needed at the time of playing. 

Platinum 56 - Far Cry 5. 

I loved my time in Hope Count, Montana. And I never wanted it to end. Though I still have to say 4 is my favorite due to the pure nostalgia, and it was my first in the series, 5 was a good change of pace! The graphics are phenomenal! The story was intriguing and interestin. And that ending was ..... Intense to say the least. Shout out to @anxiety for helping me along the way. He FINALLY convinced me to get Plus for three months, so I was about to do the MP trophies. 

Boomer is best boi.

want to co op unravel two

Platinum # 53 - Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts. 

One of my favorite series. I absolutely fell in love with this game. I took a chance on shooters and it did not disappoint! It took me three years to platinum it. I almost gave up several times, but this is among my proudest platinums! I might have to revise my trophy cabinet after this one. 

Shout out to @dieselmanchild and my wonderful boyfriend for the support, encouragement, and tips. 

I can't wait to pull the trigger on the sequel! Get it? X3 Contracts had stunning visuals and good graphics! The ending was pretty lackluster, though, I must say. I wonder if it ties into the conflict in the sequel. I hope, because Syberia's story didn't get resolved fully. It was certainly a cliffhanger ending. But the sequel has a different protagonist, so we'll see. 

It certainly was a unique game. I've heard it being compared to Far Cry a lot, and, after playing some FC games, I do see the similarities. But SGW definitely has more emphasis on stealth as opposed to run - and - gun. 

Also. Tiger guns. Always use a tiger gun if available. No point, really. Just a personal preference. :3 Any Sherlockians out there will know why.
