The Professional Gamer - November 11, 2019

Happy Veteran’s Day everyone! I’m one of those lucky folks that actually gets this day off. So far, I’ve spent time this weekend buying a new coat, cleaning up a tree that fell in my yard, making sauerkraut, and playing some D&D. So, that’s been a fun weekend. And I bought a new video game this week. All in all, a good week. So, let’s talk a little bit about some anime and video games.

Hi folks! I hope you all had a good week. I’ve been enjoying the seasonable autumn weather in Colorado, cleaning out my office a bit, and looking forward to some work travel next week. In the mean time, I’ve finished the summer season anime that I was watching and started into autumn. And, I made it through another dungeon in Link’s Awakening. I don’t know that it’s worth talking a lot about playing an hour of a video game, but let’s talk through some anime in a rapid fire mode.

Hi folks! Denver saw its first snow of the season yesterday, and I took advantage of a generous telework policy to avoid having to deal with it. I also watched the last episode of Astra: Lost in Space, played some Guild Wars 2 and Link’s Awakening, and I went to the Great American Beer Festival last weekend. I can’t do a whole lot of review of the GABF, because I was really just trying to have fun and didn’t take notes about anything. But I can talk a bit about some other things.

Man, this was really a week where I didn’t get to do much. For reasons unknown to me, the last episode of Astra: Lost in Space wasn’t posted. I finished this season of Dan Machi (Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls at the Dungeon) and, honestly not impressed. I never thought it was really a great series or anything, but it was at least fun with some interesting battles and effects and things. But honestly, the plot, characters, and worldbuilding all left things to be desired. I did watch another episode of Cop Craft. It’s still a lot of fun, but I think I can see the end of the budget. The series is almost over, and I think the conclusion is going to be good. It feels like it from the distance of a few episodes at least.
