Sorry, folks. I've come to a point where I can't play any more Steam games for a few weeks, so I won't be able to make any new posts until the middle of May.
I thought I could keep ahead enough to have some posts in the queue for any time I get too busy to play over a weekend, but so far I've found myself too busy to play at all over every weekend in April. On top of that I'm going on vacation for two weeks next weekend so I won't have any time then to play, either.
I've got my list of the next five games to play after The Cave, so when I get back and settled, hopefully I can get back on top of things and keep ahead of the posting schedule as I originally had hoped.
See you again in about a month!

Playthrough 006: The Cave
The sixth game I will be playing through is The Cave.
The Cave is a puzzle platformer released on January 23rd, 2013. Developed by Tim Schafer's Double Fine Productions, The Cave was created by Ron Gilbert, who also created Maniac Mansion and the first two Monkey Island games on PC in the early '90s.
I bought The Cave in the summer of 2013 as part of the Amazon Sega Fun Pack which was a promotional deal with several other Sega published games including PC ports of Jet Set Radio and NIGHTS: Into Dreams.
I loved the Monkey Island games when I was younger, and though I never got into Maniac Mansion I understand that The Cave has a similar game mechanic to MM where you have a pool of protagonists to choose from but each time you go into the game you can only select up to three.
We'll see how far I get in three hours spelunking in The Cave!

Sorry for another week delay in the regular posts. I was part of a 50-hour comedy marathon fundraiser from Friday night through Sunday night, March 31st to April 2nd, with about 9 hours of load-in starting Thursday night.
Here are the games that I bought in March:

The Square Enix Spring Surprise Box 2017 was a huge disappointment, the Surprise Boxes are advertised as $10 for "$80 worth of games" but you don't know the games until they are revealed a week after they stop selling the bundle. The two games in the list are the only two I didn't already own. The other three are: Hitman Absolution Elite Edition (basically w/ all DLC), The Last Remnant, and Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. It is my understanding that this is the first Surprise Box without a Final Fantasy title since they started this bundle offer at Christmas and Easter a couple years ago.
