No This Is Patrick

Basically, the whole thing is a love story of a couple. How it started, the ups and downs of life, and just being there for each other. The songs are still listenable separately but they flow together very well back to back to back. Plus the lyric booklet and it's illustrations. And the "Prologue" and "Epilogue" remind me of those book and cassette stories I had as a kid.

Alan Wake is one of my top games ever! Playing Control I've found a few AW references and easter eggs, those were pretty cool. For sure! Lucky me it's still on Netflix.

+1 on Control! I have about three more "main story" missions left, but man can Remedy make a good story game. If you haven't, you need to play their game Alan Wake. I need to finish watching Twin Peaks come to think of it...

No no no no no no… you gotta listen to the whole album, not just the song/title track. From tracks 1 to 15, no skipping. Bonus points for following with lyrics. It's a concept/story album.

I was in a similar place a few years ago, even listed my whole collection. Anyways, similar to a few things @cside says: 1) Get rid of duplicates/variants (if you have any). I started a variant collection, while it was cool, money added up, and you honestly only need one copy, use that to buy others you want. 2) Don't buy records you won't listen to. This one's tricky, but I've bought a handful of records over the years that I never end up listening to. Try the "Marie Kondo method" on your collection, maybe free up some space, and give you some ones to sell. If you still find some joy with records, music, you don't have to stop. But try slimming down the collection a bit at least.

"Lines of Your Hands" single on the 27th. EDIT: Guess they released it earlier.

I think it'll have potential, I really liked the Bright Falls promotional series they did for the game. https://variety.com/2018/gaming/news/alan-wake-tv-show-1202938003/ From my understanding, since it was published by Microsoft (Game Studios), it was "their" IP, and they just didn't want to pursue a sequel. But a few weeks ago they announced that rights reverted back to them. I guess I was on the fence about Quantum Break on release as well. Anyways, I picked it up last year(?) on recommendation from my brother. I enjoyed it. I thought the "game play choices determine the live action scenes" was pretty unique. Not sure of your platform, but I see it on sale for Xbox often, and Steam sales are constant. If you can get it for around $20, I'd say try it.

Alan Wake is (at least) a top five for me, need to do another playthrough soon! It's nice to see it's getting more attention and recognition now, seems to have been overlooked last gen. Hopefully now that a TV show is in the works, the game being relisted for sale, and Remedy acquiring all the rights, we can get a full on sequel. (I liked AW: American Nightmare, but that was more of a spin off/expansion). Did you play Quantum Break? It's their last game they made.

Minecraft is one of the few games I think you DON'T have to be good at... it's just a fun, chillax game. It's nice to see it continually updated, but sometimes I miss the "simplicity" it used to have. Finished up the base game achievements for Prey (2017), awesome game, liked the "plot twist". Decided to use my free month of Xbox Game Pass, played Lego City Undercover (which was basically a kid friendly Grand Theft Auto) and am about to finish up the main game portion of Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor. Don't know why or how I slept on that game, will probably end up buying that and the sequel. Have Control coming out at the end of the month. Really looking forward to that.
