Dirty Bomb is still my main time sink at the moment. I just can't get enough of the fast-paced, objective based game play. Cross that with a good movement system and a variety of character abilities and you get fun times. Though the devs have made some questionable decisions and updates are quite slow. It's very much feels like a few more bad moves could kill the game.

I do need to start being more mindful with this game though. It's very easy to get caught up and start tilting, and in turn rage. It's usually only multiplayer shooters that do this to me. I'm actually really ashamed to admit this, but I need to admit it somewhere: I punched my monitor yesterday and broke it. Typing that makes me embarrassed. I was always perplexed by people who told stories of breaking their own property in rage at a game, but now I'm one of them. Fortunately, it was only a cheap hand-me-down, but still it's a bit pathetic. Most people see me as a pretty chill person but when I'm alone I can get pretty mad sometimes. It's something I need to work on.

Aside from that caveat, I also need to get back to The Witcher 3. I think I'm near completion and it's up there with one of the best games I've ever played.. I'm also excited to play Firewatch (I think it's out today?), X-COM 2 and The Witness.

Has anyone heard anything about No Man's Sky recently? There was a lot of the publicity around that game a few months ago but it seems to have dropped off the radar. It's an intriguing game to say the least.
