Gameplay Summary

If last month was targeted, this month was laser focused. And not in an overly productive way. I had very little opportunity in May to game. Real life always takes precedence over gaming time. Despite this, I was able to make great progress on a couple of great games. I will take that as a win and hope that I have more time for games in the upcoming month while still having time for personal life.

Beaten: STAR WARS™ Episode I Racer

This game was an amazing nostalgia trip. I previously played this game on Nintendo 64 many years ago, and I finally took the time to play it after it was selected as a PoP pick for me. I also got to use it for PAGYWOSG. It was just as fun as I remembered it, and this time I was able to beat all three of the main circuits. The high speed, low forgiveness races were an amazing experience, and I highly recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy a great racing game. I beat the entire main series with Anakin. I hope to beat the last three Invitational circuit courses in a later month, but for now I am ecstatic about my performance.

In Progress: Left 4 Dead 2

This month saw significant progress in achievement hunting thanks to the play sessions between me and my friend. I was able to grab some rare achievements and significantly increased my completion percentage. I have played all the campaigns that have achievements (haven’t played a few though). I will be continuing this progress over the months to see what it takes to 100% the game, and I will continue to post my progress as I go.
