Currently addicted to Strider, for Steam...had it for awhile but only started playing it today! Great game! 'Love my Metroidvanias..

^Yeah, importing from one episode to the next gets more and more frustrating as the series goes along, just to warn you (though it's maybe not as bad going from 4 to 5: 3 to 4, though..... Just wait and see. Aveyond is even worse, for that though, in case you ever get back to that: I lost my motivation to go through the final episode, because even if you import you get stuck at level.... 5! Seriously.) The one advantage you can give yourself in Millenium is to keep high value items in your inventory at the end of each episode, then sell them for big money at the start of the next episode.

I tend to plow through Telltale episodes in one sitting each. Honestly, for some of their more recent ones I could probably have even done two in one sitting if I had waited for them all to come out, which of course I never do, because I get too excited and always have to buy the season pass as soon as it's available. Out of their three full seasons I've played, season one of TWD is just behind The Wolf Among Us as my favorite, but for some reason season 2 just didn't do much for me at all. Their Borderlands and Game of Thrones seasons both debuted strongly, though, so I'm hoping that was just a one time disappointment. Speaking of which, I'll be playing episode two of the latter next Tuesday.

The first episode of Life is Strange was incredible, though the coimparisons to Telltale are pretty silly, because aside from being episodic, it's definitely more of a mix between Gone Home and the three Quantic Dream games, in several ways, actually. I actually think it has a good shot at being my favorite episodic series, if the rest of it can maintain the same level of quality. 

Aside from the Millennium series (which I mostly play on my lower power laptop) I've got back into several favourites from the past few years. Especially been playing a lot of Dishonored. I finally managed to complete my Shadow/Ghost run on the main game and The Knife of Dunwall in the last week and am currently going for the same on The Brigmore Witches. 

I'm towards the end of my current Bioshock Infinite run. Don't think I'll play Burial at Sea afterwards this time. I enjoy the DLC's but usually stop before the end of part 2. I honestly find the ending so deflating that every time I get close to it I'm like 'I don't need to sit through this shit again'.
