Well, folks, my sister and I finished The Sopranos yesterday. Wow, what a great show. We started re-watching Season 4 of Ozark to get ready for the second part, which starts tomorrow on Netflix. We can’t wait!!

I’m reading yet another Remo Williams Book in The Destroyer Series. The title is Bottom Line. Again, a great series of stories which never disappoint.

In the gaming realm, Season 4: Wild Dogs started today in Call of Duty Mobile, They have introduced some new challenges, the melee weapon Kali Sticks, and a whole host of new characters including a new skin for the Ghost player. There’s also a new map dropping called Satellite. It’s going to be great fun! I completed one of the new challenges yesterday.

My sister and I often talk about things while we hang out watching TV. One of the things I suggested was a hobby. Everyone needs a hobby. Something to look forward to after work or chores, or whatever you do that you consider work. I look forward to my game time after I’ve finished my tasks for the day. Painting, crafting, hiking, or whatever just wakes you up each day is something to consider. We all need balance in our lives. Hobbies are a terrific way to pass the time and enjoy life.

Well, that’s all I got for today. If you haven’t watched Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, or Ozark, I highly recommend all of them. They are terrific! If you’re into mobile gaming, give Call of Duty a whirl, it is an awesome game and the creativity these guys bring to the table is unbelievable. I have never been disappointed.

Well, that’s it for now. Have a great Thursday everybody!

Until next time…

Well, we are getting lots of snow and we’re scheduled to get a heck of a lot more before the day’s out. If you are in the belt of the storm that is currently hitting the U.S., be careful when you’re out driving. I have to make a run today, but going to be going very slow, as many of the roads around my home are not cleared and the driving is a little treacherous.

Well, my sister and I are still watching Ozark. We finished season 4, part 1, but decided to rewatch the entire show beginning in season 1. Wow, this story is so good. Last night, sis made some popcorn. I’m not a huge fan of popcorn, but last night, sis’ popcorn hit the spot. If you’ve never watched Ozark, I highly recommend it. It is one heck of a ride.

I’m playing through a new challenge that came up on CODM. It requires I engage in some ranked play. It has been a lot of fun. I only have one more thing to do to finish it today. They also have a zombie event, which comes and goes throughout the season, with its own set of challenges to complete. It’s a great part of the game and it helps break up the monotony that can come when I play too much team deathmatch, frontline, or battle royale. Typically, I’ll get in a few hours each day. They also have daily challenges, which keep me busy.

I also dabbled in Far Cry 6. They have a very unique angle in this version. Spoiler Alert: Once you finish the game, insurgencies start cropping up weekly, which require you to go back out and retake bases, checkpoints, and perform other tasks. It is a great way to realistically keep the game going indefinitely. One of my readers suggested the Fallout series of games. That may be a possibility. There’s more to do in Far Cry, but Fallout was a pretty neat game when I played it. I only played the first one, but the reader who suggested Fallout said that Fallout 3 and 4 are terrific. I may take that up. I’m always in for a great long-term game like these, particularly those which fall into the “open world” category. For those of you who are unfamiliar, the open world genre gives the player the freedom to go wherever they want, take on any challenge they want, and in any order. What makes the Fallout games unique is that the endings are impacted by what you do during the game.

This year, I am focusing my reading on The Destroyer series. I wanted to add books to my list, because it is another hobby of mine. Since the series is composed of over 140 books, it will be a great thing to set my sights on. I am currently reading The Last Temple. Each of these books is literally a few hours of reading, so I typically get through around two of them a week. If you like adventure, action, and some dark humor, you’ll enjoy these books. They are terrific!

Well, that’s it for this week. We’ll probably finish the Ozark series this week. My sister and I just finished season 2 and will start on season 3 tonight. Typically, we’ll watch a couple of episodes each night (2 or 3). Since each season has 10 episodes, that’s around 3 nights of viewing. Then, who knows?

Enjoy the snow! Be safe! Have a great Thursday!

Until next time…

Call of Duty - Movile, Destroyer Series, Hobbies, Netflix, Ozark, Reading, Remo Williams, WWII in the Pacific

My sister and I started a new documentary called War in the Pacific: Eagle Against the Sun. Some of the video quality is a little off, compared to other WWII documentaries we’ve watched, but this one is exclusively on the Pacific war. Boy is it fascinating. We are learning things about the Pacific war that we had no idea about. So far, we have seen the precursors to Japan going to war (Why they did it) and are just finishing up with the Battle of Midway and Guadalcanal.

For those of you who are Ozark fans, the series just launched a new season on Netflix. Sister and I will be binge watching that on Saturday. We’ll also order a pizza so we have food all day long. I can’t wait!

I’ve been deeply involved in Call of Duty Mobile. This new season had all kinds of challenges that I’ve completed. I’m waiting for a few more that will kick off on the 28th. It’s great fun. I’m currently working on the PPSH submachine gun camo to get it to gold. I’m also working on the prize fighter melee weapon. Yep, you guessed it. The prize fighter melee weapon is a pair of boxing gloves. You run around the battle field and knock your enemies out. It’s great fun!

Oh! I’m also concentrating my fiction reading this year on The Destroyer series, featuring it’s characters Remo Williams, his mentor Chiun, and the boss of Cure, Doctor Harold W. Smith. These are great books and only take about a week or sometimes a few days to knock out. The series has 120+ books, so it’ll be a while before I read something else. The book I’m reading currently is called: Sweet Dreams.

Well, that’s it for now, folks. Have a great Thursday!

Until next time…
