It’s heckin’ windy and rainy out and about, so it’s a good weekend to have a cosy time inside playing nice and lovely video games. Definitely nothing spooky and horror-filled – it’s not October yet. Personally, I’ll be continuing with Everybody’s Golf, maybe the Donkey Kong DLC and I need to get back to Indiana Jones’ DLC as well.
