1h 41m

Kane and I did some Duos and ended up getting a back-to-back Victory Royale! It felt incredible! We chatted mostly and Brook even chipped in to drive a car to me when I had to go take an allergy pill after I started to have an allergic reaction. What a strange night, haha!

26

2h 58m

Squeezed in a little more time playing Fortnite with the fellas - up until the air conditioning went out and that cut the night short... Luckily, after calling maintenance, I was able to come back and snag a solo Victory Royale before officially ending the night.

25

5h 52m

Alright - I play a loooot of Fortnite, haha! Epic has an addicting game loop, no doubt, and I actively participate. But it is fun and, at the end of the day, that is all I care about! Did some solo, ranked matches and had a couple of second places finishes. Then we assembled the crew and really showed some kids how to play! Play dead, haha! There was an epic interaction where I killed an entire team after Kane and Davey bit the dust. I wedge our car in an awkward position and this team allowed me to systematically wipe them out by sitting in the passenger seat and using the machine gun! We did not get the Victory Royale that game (as incredible as that would have been), but we did manage to eek one out at the very end. All it took was smacking around a Boba Fett with my big fists!

24

2h 8m

HECK YEAH - FALLOUT SEASON!!! Epic got money out of me for this season, haha! The Wasteland theme is already my favorite aesthetic this game has had in the time I have played. Driving around cars with machine guns and grenade launchers like Mad Max, picking up Nuka Cola, and duking it out in the Nitrodome is pure absurdity! Kane, Davey, and I had a blast! Megla Don is so far the best play on words in the game, hands down.

22

1h 13m

Kane asked me to hop on and play some Fortnite with him and Davey, so I came back a little sooner than expected. But for a good reason! I was getting down in the dumps not talking to any of my friends (specifically Brice), so when I got his message it made me perk up! We did pretty well and I had a gnarly team elimination! No Victory Royales, but I feel like when the Fallout event happens, that will be when we pop off.

18

5h 35m

Holy. Cow. I played way too much today, haha! But I had a justified reason! They are adding Fallout to Fortnite on the 24th! So I wanted to finish all of my quests and the Battlepass for this season.

Played A LOT of games - got a few Victory Royales but the best was in a Platinum 1 Ranked lobby I finished first! As goofy as it sounds, I was proud of myself. Now time to take a break until next Friday, haha.

14

0h 40m

Well, here we are again to get my dopamine hits and do some pointless quests, haha. I have not been feeling well lately, things have been stressful. Not sure if it's all been from work or because I haven't taken my shot. Hopefully things will get better. At least I got a pretty sweet Victory Royale, haha!

Started

Finished

Played this during the Game-a-Thon and sadly it was the only one... That's alright, though! That fundraiser was a blast and the kids loved it so that is all that matters.

One of the eSports players wanted someone to play this game with him, so I promised I would check it out. We played one round and that was enough for me... Playing with the students is not typically something I would do but if I make a promise I always try to keep it! In the future, I need to be careful about what games I tell them I will check out...

Started / Finished

09

1h 55m

Decided I wanted to finish the Star Wars quests and attempt to finish the (nonexistent) story. I got a little frustrated while playing but I had a pretty sick Victory Royale, so that made it worth it! Not a terrible way to spend an evening but solo Fortnite is not as fun...

07

0h 24m

Accidentally placed 2nd in a Trios match - it was shockingly exciting! I focused on completing quests and talking to NPCs; I was successful. The quests are the addicting part - they are the only reason I turn the game on. Then I fall for the trap of looking at the Shop... But I have been excellent about watching my superfluous spending! Gonna get her the best ring I can!

04

1h 57m

May the Fourth be with you! We celebrated Star Wars Day by playing the new Fortnite events (and encouraging poor spending habits, haha)! Kane, Davey, and I snagged a Victory Royale and a few near-podium finishes. Overall, it was better than earlier this week, but I am still not too happy with Davey...

02

4h 5m

Had a blast playing Fortnite at the Vault with Kane, Davey, and their other cousin Michael! Well, that was until Davey was a jerk... I will have to talk with him about how he treated me.

After we left the Vault, I went home and knocked out the rest of the Avatar: The Last Airbender pass. Sokka's meteor sword looked too awesome to pass up! Not sure if I am going to hop back in for awhile - got my fill for a minute, haha!

1h 41m

Got into some Fortnite with Brice after FFXIV! We had a bit of a time relearning the controls (well, moreso one of us, haha). The Avatar The Last Airbender themed items and quests are neat - gameplay wise and in the thing-I-recognize way. No wins but we did get 3rd once!

11

1h 10m

Needed a little Fortnite dopamine hit - felt a little better but I feel the desire to play more single-player games bubbling inside. I want to finish some titles I have been playing for a while. Earned a Victory Royale and Lauren helped me pick out two new emotes! Through that process, I learned she had never seen the Numa Numa video (!) so we had to fix that - she thought it was all right and "loved" the quality, haha!

05

2h 0m

Felt like I needed to play something since my brain was mush from the tech startup weekend. Things are going well and I hope he will be successful. As for me, I am just happy when I can land a Victory Royale, haha.

02

1h 0m

Kane and I played briefly in some ranked matches - we did pretty alright and it bumped me into Platinum 1! Plus, it was cool seeing the Korra stuff, but I wish it had been Aang, haha!

01

2h 1m

This was no joke - had to play some Fortnite to quell the anxiety I am having over these severe storms coming through. It is a nice distraction and I got a Victory Royale...

3h 11m

Good mix between solo Fortnite and playing with Kane (even though Kane did not stick around for long). Played a lot of Ranked and am now super close to breaking into Gold 3!

29

1h 3m

Worked on wrapping up the last few quests and enjoyed using my new skeleton skin with the creepy wings - felt like an edge lord, haha!

28

4h 6m

BIG gaming hours last night - I had to cope with the bombshell news that Kane and Brook were pregnant.... THEY'RE HAVING A CHILD!!!! It still does not seem real... Got a Victory Royale though so that was cool.

26

1h 29m

FINALLY FINISHED THE STUPID MIDAS QUESTS!!!! Seriously. That was one of the worst events I have ever completed in this game... First normal match, got a Victory Royale!

22

1h 33m

Worked on the Midas Floor is Lava quests while I waited for FFXIV to download to my Xbox - not the biggest fan of that mode...

21

1h 13m

Played Fortnite in person at The Vault! It was slightly cringe but still had a blast with Davey and Kane. I did not appreciate how mean they were to some kids that came and talked to us, though... We need to be positive role models for the younger generation, not dismiss them.

19

1h 34m

No wins this time... Making some head way in the Battle Pass Quests - interested in what they will do with Midas!

17

2h 27m

Kane and I rocked some ranked matches - we had a lot of fun! We both pulled off some pretty crazy moves; however, I was mostly making decisions that got us eliminated... I am going to work on being better so I improve as a player and a teammate! :)

15

3h 36m

Got my inner gamer on with Kane and Davey, haha! We did a little ranked, but our only Victory Royale came from an unranked lobby. Kane and I also talked a lot about how Brice is acting strange - I hope Brice was just having an off day and my best friend talks to me again...

12

3h 0m

Kane and I played some of the new season - we did alright but I did not play the best... We still finished top 10 most matches! I'm not the best at these shooters, if I am being honest. I hope that doesn't bother Kane too much. It was fun just getting to chat and play - heard about his lackluster visit to a sanitarium, a trip saved by the experience driving to and returning from the 'haunted' tour. I am glad he and Brook were alright. Alright, going to try and not play this the rest of the week unless asked.

09

2h 38m

Break is over - the new season is out! They did a Greek myths and gods theme, which is neat. Not necessarily my favorite aesthetic but the new weapons are enjoyable like the Zeus lightning and the Gatekeeper shotgun. Movement options have also improved (the Icarus Wings are great if you are not trying to hit someone with the attack...). Not sure if I will care that much when it comes to this season but I will certainly play with friends!

04

2h 20m

Finally finished the entire mosaic! It took forever but now I can finally take a break from this game for awhile...

03

1h 39m

Found a new farming method for the mosaic - go to Rebel's Roost and hit the skinny side of the walls. I farmed 60 pieces the whole match and still got a Victory Royale, haha!
