![]() ![]() For the remainder, it’s a pretty forgettable thriller, albeit one with some pretty decent acting, especially given the improbable character actions that the actors had to make feel convincing. ![]() The description led me to believe this was going to be something of a locked room mystery, and I suppose it is, for about 15 minutes of its 95 minute run time. While it wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever sat through, it was nevertheless a pretty big disappointment for me. The only other new thing I watched this month was the Hulu original movie No Exit, which just dropped on February 25. In fact, the only reason I’m not 100% thrilled with the entire experience is that I thought it was a mini-series when I started it I didn’t anticipate this being a story told over multiple seasons, and I’m a little miffed that it’s not even close to over. I binge watched all ten episodes over two days while my husband was staying with a friend who’d recently had surgery. I don’t know that there’s a weak actor in the entire cast, and the soundtrack is perfection. While it’s tough to talk about the show in any detail without giving away the twists and turns that make it such a compelling drama, I can say that I really appreciated that – at least so far – there’s just a hint of flirtation with the supernatural, and a whole bunch of mostly relatable reaction to trauma. It turned out that – at least as far as Season 1 is concerned – I haven’t hit anything that I found that particular brand of disturbing, which is not to say that it’s not really really dark. ![]() I generally struggle with any form of story telling that highlights people that are basically good and that the audience is meant to root for doing really terrible things, so I had been a bit unsure I’d be able to stomach this show about a soccer team of girls surviving in the wilderness for 19 months after a plane crash. I elected to watch Yellowjackets on my own, and in a way I regret it because hooboy, it is the kind of show I really want to pick apart with someone else. I am interested to see how they wrap it all up in that last hour, but man, it’s not a lighthearted show.Īnd speaking of things that aren’t easy to watch, I must be on a kick. Due to some real life scheduling snafus, my husband and I have had less dedicated TV watching time, so I think we only watched two episodes over the course of the month. This has been a hard watch, which makes even two back-to-back episodes a daunting proposition for me. While we still haven’t finished Lovecraft Country, we are only one episode from the end. I’ve still been playing Stolen Realm on my co-op game night, and I attended our guild’s last pre-9.2 raid in World of Warcraft. I petered out on The Colonists pretty early in the month, and I tried to give The Medium a fair shake before it disappeared from GamePass on the 16th, but I found I wasn’t enjoying it nearly as much as I’d hoped. Overall, gaming was back pretty squarely within my normal range of somewhere between 70 and 100 hours a month. After all, there’s nothing in the rules that say I can’t get a bit of a jump on the play time even if I don’t intend the post in a given month.Īs far as So We Meet Again, while I did choose and re-download my next game – Oxenfree – I didn’t so much as launch it during the entire month, so that one I’ll be carrying over into March. However, Cozy Grove (which is on the schedule for me to post about in March) made up an not insignificant slice of the pie, and I expect that’s a pattern that might continue going forward. Only six show up in the chart above ( Faraway: Puzzle Escapeaccounts for the unlabeled teal section) however, since one I played the last couple days in January, and two fell well short of the hour minimum I use to build the graph. For those who don’t want to do the math, that is just about perfectly on track to hit 100 by the end of January 2023. I’m not making a lot of progress figuring things out, but at least the questing around is still fun.Īs for the Just One Percent Project, I managed to get in 9 posts this month. I’m still avoiding much of anything even remotely end-game-y and have started leveling some alts while I try to make some sort of sense of the 8 bajillion systems that the game has. Nothing screws up a well-laid plan faster than spending over half of my gaming time on a game I really had no intention of playing at all! However, something made me try out Lost Ark and for the latter half of the month, that was pretty much the only thing I wanted to play.
