It’s almost Easter. Not a favorite holiday of mine, but I took a goofy snapshot bunny photo to get in the spirit.

…It’s horrifying. I’m hoping I can get away doing absolutely nothing for Easter this year. I’m not feeling ham, bleh.

Anyway, I totally found and have watched the new Stream On series after making claims it didn’t exist on my vlog. Pro Tip from me…don’t try to do anything on an outdated Internet Explorer. Perhaps, don’t try to do anything on Internet Explorer. I don’t know what I was thinking. Chrome is life.

Stream On totally did start when it claimed it would, March 8th. It comes out Thursdays, and you can watch the first episode here. New episodes come out Thursdays at 3 PM PT.

There is so much talking in the show by the hosts. I’m cool with hosts talking, but this show nearly becomes more of a talk show than a streaming reality show. I suppose it’s a little necessary since they have to wait for streamers to be ready, but I find it annoying. Overall the show is a little weird to watch. Though, it may be because I skip around looking for good parts too much? Probably. 

Anyone else watching? Who are you rooting for? I like MajanTaj and thaButtress. Although thaButtress’ raps concern me a little.

Also, check out that picture of my desk again. New mouse has arrived! Super happy. I had that ancient trackball for too long. That device is a hard no from me. Steer clear of it gamers. It collects gunk way too easily, and that leads to poor movement. Also, it’s just not as great movement wise even when it’s thoroughly and frequently cleaned.

I’ve been playing Fortnite here and there still. Not as much as I’d like! That game is addicting. Alas, that pesky “real life” thing has kept rearing it’s ugly head this week and butting in on my precious alone time with gaming.

I’m trying to level up some though! Also, no matches have been as epically bad as that first match–thankfully. I’ve actually been ignoring the whole building aspect while working on my other skills. What is you guys tactic for 100 person Battle Royale? I like going to the edge of the map, collecting weapons and then making my way inwards as the storm cloud moves in. I’m totally a close range, frantic, everyone, in one place type of person in shooters. However, I’m taking the slow, careful route for now. Then, at least when I start seeing a bunch of other players, I’m not one of the first to die–haha!

I also found some sweet Minecraft toys at TJ Maxx. I’m used to seeing those tiny figurines all over the place for nearly ten dollars! I got a huge Alex figure for $8 at TJ Maxx though! It’s livening my desk up. Feels more fun. Alex and I, having a party together. No matter she’s a doll. Here’s my party face:

I need help. Or, maybe I need to get out more often? Haha, that’s a good one! I’d rather stay inside with my computer. I’ve got way too many games to play. Which reminds me of the newest game I’m going to play this weekend. That is, Ni No Kuni 2! Of course, I’m going to play it only after the much needed Fortnite BR binge. I’m so excited to have Ni No Kuni 2. It looks like a Studio Ghibli creation. Specifically, it looks a whole lot like Ronja the Robber’s Daughter–visually. Ronja isn’t my favorite thing out of Studio Ghibli–it’s no Howl’s Moving Castle or Totoro–but it’s not a bad cartoon regardless!

Ni No Kuni 2 also has amazing reviews. I’ll let you all know how I like it!

Ni No Kuni 2 will hold me over for Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time, which is finally coming to windows in May. Like I’ve said in the past, I’m a sucker for witch-themed stuff. Although honestly, Ni No Kuni 2 looks way better.

I noticed a few free things this weekend. First, Spec Ops: The Line at Humble Bundle is free for a limited time. Don’t drag your feet, the deal ends shortly. It’s normally $30, so nothing to blink at. It’s a third-person shooter with a 9/10 on Steam and 76/100 on Metacritic.

The second freebie this weekend is to play Fenix Commander in StarCraft II. You see, it’s StarCraft’s 20th anniversary and Blizzard’s been celebrating all month! This might be the biggest giveaway to players while they’ve been doing that.

The last freebie is for mobile! You can now play Towaga for free on Android and iOS phones. It previously cost one dollar. It’s a fast-paced 2D, arcade shooter. It has a 4.3 in the Google Play store and a 4.1 in the iTunes store.

Lastly, sign up for our competition! Do that here. It’s another $150 Amazon gift card. It is indeed for subscribers to Saljack. This competition just started this week so hop on it (like a psychotic bunny) because you’ll have nearly a whole month to increase your chances of winning.

What are your gaming plans this weekend?
