waltzoidI almost completely forgot that A Minecraft Movie was released last week. As I expected, the reviews are split between "It's okay for what it is" and "It's kinda bad, but still better than Eli Roth's lame-ass Borderlands movie" and it made major bank in its first week at the box office.
I'm not a Minecraft superfan, so this film wouldn't have appealed to me much. I thought The Super Mario Bros. Movie and the first two Sonic the Hedgehog films were surprisingly good as far as video game-based movies go, so maybe at some point in the future, I might watch it. Who knows?
Anyway, here's what the hell I've been up to this week:
Video Games
I had unlocked all of the Steam achievements for Vampire Survivors a couple of months ago. There used to be 220, but the in-game "unlocks" counter had more than 300, with all of the unlocks from the crossover DLCs (Emergency Meeting, Operation Guns, and Ode to Castlevania) not counting toward the Steam total.
A few days ago, the game got a new big update that adds a third Adventure centered around ice queen She-Moon Eeta ("To End an Ice Age") and a free DLC pack called "Emerald Diorama" that crosses over with SaGa: Emerald Beyond. As I've had my eye on that game for a while (and have been playing SaGa Frontier II HD Remaster and some other SaGa-adjacent RPGs like The Alliance Alive), I downloaded the DLC almost as soon as I learned about it, but it'll be a while before I get around to testing the new characters and weapons.
Video Games + Music
I had enough PlayStation Rewards points to finally jump into Helldivers II on PlayStation 5, but my brother talked me out of it at the last minute, so I split my points between Cat Quest III and Crossy Road Castle. As of this post, I haven't played the former, but I played a few runs of the latter, which had only broken free from Apple Arcade jail last year.
For some silly reason, I've become fixated on the boss music against the giant eagle from the first tower. It's called "Fight or Flight", and I think I like it because it sounds like something that would fit right in with a goofy game like the WarioWare or Kirby series.
