As a gamer myself, I’m rushing to complete this task before hopping on a flight. Incidentally, Balatro is ready on my phone, so it’s about time I aim for that elusive high score and make a serious attempt at clearing levels, knowing well that the flight time will provide ample opportunity to do just that!

Some pals are intending to catch Superman this weekend, and while I’ve already watched it, I’d enjoy rewatching it. It’s not that I’m an over-the-top fan of the Man of Steel (I do have a fondness for DC Comics), but watching a movie gives me an opportunity to indulge in some popcorn. I’ve been wanting to be daring and try the sour cream flavor, so this could be the occasion to step out of my comfort zone and give it a go. However, once at the counter, I might still end up with my usual barbecue flavor, as life is brief and popcorn brings joy, despite it seeming illogical.

I’ll likely be battling with The Sims 4 for smoother gameplay as the recent updates have made managing my virtual homes a bit more challenging than before. A new patch came out this week, and I’m optimistic it will improve things once installed. If that’s the case, expect me to invest a lot of time exploring the new magical expansion, Enchanted By Nature. I can’t wait to experiment with the natural living concept – virtually, of course!

At present, I’m stationed in London, Canada, under the nurturing care of the Digital Extremes crew during TennoCon. Therefore, my gaming time will likely be minimal, but whenever I find a spare moment, I’ll be fully immersed in the world of Warframe.

This weekend, we’re aiming to get back to our regular routine following a midweek journey to Manchester for the premiere of the Pokémon Go Road Trip Battle Bus. It was an exciting event, essentially a smaller-scale version of Go-Fest, similar to one zone.

Afterwards, I’m uncertain about my plans, but I have a feeling they will involve Mo.Co since they recently made changes, and I could also hang out with friends to explore the One Piece Trading Card Game.

This weekend, I won’t be engaging in any major gaming sessions as I have wedding preparations to handle. Instead, I’ll focus on my daily routines in Cookie Run: Kingdom and spend more time exploring a new idle game called Cat Town Valley that I recently installed, as it’s quite convenient for playing on the go.

If you too juggle a hectic schedule while enjoying video games, I wholeheartedly suggest this as well! It’s incredibly enjoyable, and the pleasure of using your spare time to play these games can genuinely brighten up your day.

For now, I haven’t found anything new, but I’m enjoying delving deeper into Broken Sword: Reforged on my mobile device and exploring other point-and-click adventure games it offers. The platform is great for these types of games, and I’m always up for a good dose of witty humor and amusing storylines.

This weekend, I plan to explore the features of Merge Maestro. At first glance, I had doubts due to its emoji-like icons and the typical use of ‘merge,’ which made it appear like a mobile game I’ve played numerous times before. While not terrible by any stretch, I felt I had already experienced enough of that type of game. However, upon further investigation (I read an article by Catherine), I discovered that this isn’t a free-to-play game but a free-to-try one instead. This newfound information piqued my interest, as I learned it is actually a puzzle-based roguelike game. My payment will be processed soon.
