Well, no, it's not April.  It's May. :)

But yes, we're talking about what we were playing in May.

I've heard this was good, and have it on disks from a couple years ago 
purchase.  I don't remember why I didn't play it, or did for only a 
couple minutes.

Damn you!  Damn you Ultima VII!  So, I can blame you for that!

I never did get into the Star Wars space combat.  It seemed pretty 
lackluster for whichever it was I tried after playing Wing Commander 
III.  I keep thinking I'll go play WCIII again, but never seem to get 
around to it.

Sounds like Monkey Island is still the way to go for a good insult battle.

Dark Souls II.

Still.  I think I'm done now though, I finished the base game with 3 
different characters, a hexer, a mundane & a quality build.  I've got 2 
I haven't finished it with, a paladin (str/faith) and a pure sorcerer, 
the sorcerer I only started a couple weeks ago so that's why I haven't 
finished that one, but my paladin has been stuck even though it's my 2nd 
character.  But I can't bring myself to finish the first DLC, I haven't 
started it up for 3 days now.  The DLC might just be a bit too hard.

So I'm thinking about what I want to do now.  I could go back to GTA V, 
which I never got very far in.  I've got Tales from the Borderlands and 
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel I haven't played in my recently bought list 
(well 12/30/16) or look for something else, or maybe just take a break 
for a bit.

I tried to play Dungeon Robber some more but it's in flash and Chrome 
disabled flash and I haven't felt it's worth the bother and security 
issues to use IE and start over or try to get flash working in chrome 
just for Dungeon Robber.

I played about 5 minutes of Tetris on my phone.

I'm off to jury duty tomorrow, not sure what I'll do on my phone then 
(if that's even allowed), and it'll probably die far too fast.  Or maybe 
I'll be playing "Hangman R.L." edition.
