A friend and I watched The People vs. George Lucas, almost on a whim.
I thought it was a great look at some of the thoughts people have about the relationship between the franchise and it’s creator; I can see both sides.

Iron Man 3
My brother and I watched Iron Man 3 on December 29, 2016.
It was his first time seeing it and he really enjoyed it; I still (after multiple viewings) still feel a little worn out when it’s going on, especially the last third. So. Much. Happening!
Batman: Arkham Origins
I finished playing through Batman: Arkham Origins on December 23, 2016.
(I officially “beat” the game a little before that, but the 23rd is when I finished playing through all the content I wanted too.)
To date it is my favorite Arkham game.
The Banner Saga
On November 25, 2016 I finished The Banner Saga by developer Stoic.
A fantastic game that I to stick with, an article I read mentioned it was like chess and after that clicked I was off and running.
Incredible art, music and story all came together is this title. Bravo.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
Sometime in December of 2016 I saw Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
November Gaming Weekend 2016
Our annual celebration of all that is good – friendship and gaming – took place last year on November 11th through the 12th, 2016.
What did we enjoy?
X-COM: The Board Game
- X-COM: The Board Game
- Wizard People, Dear Reader (not a board game of course, but always fantastic)
- Biblios
- Love Letter
- Odin’s Ravens
- Keep Talking and No One Explodes
The best of times.
(A closing note – there were at least two other bigger gaming days in 2016 but those notes didn’t make it into this post.)
The Magnificent Seven (2016)
Currerbell and myself took in The Magnificent Seven in theaters on October 4, 2016.
I appreciated this movie for keeping its focus; I have not seen the original 1960 film but this one knew what it was about and stuck to it.
A lot of films try to be everything, but this one …
…wait for it …
stuck to its guns.
Love & Friendship
This one was a surprise – we watched Love & Friendship on October 3, 2016 and I at least liked it more then I thought I would.
Not as in, “he doesn’t like Jane Austen adaptations” but as in, “he loves Jane Austen adaptions” and thought this might not measure up.
Return 0 – Person of Interest Finale
We watched “Return 0” – the final of the series Person of Interest – on October 1, 2016.
Dead Kings DLC
September 9, 2016 – I completed the Assassin’s Creed Unity DLC, “Dead Kings.”
I liked the insight it gave into Arno’s character and how he was trying to live with the loss of Élise; it was not a must-have add on but I enjoyed it.
The setting was as spectacular as the rest of Unity and I can never get enough of that.
