I rarely, if ever game anymore, no time. I miss it a lot. I was hankering to break out the steering wheel and pedals and do some laps with Gran Tourismo yesterday. By the time I had everything done it was after 9PM and I did not want to get started.

My older son is a gamer and mentioned a crazy game he is playing called The Forest.

If you know about minecraft, you know there is a survival mode where you have to survive using resources around you to build a camp / home, harvest food etc.. you have to put some thought into it and plan out your moves accordingly.

I like that stuff. My son said The Forest is like that except much more realistic.

I logged into my steam account last night (I actually remembered the password) and downloaded the game. I spent about 70 minutes on it. (I think it is on PS4 too)

I survived my first day, barely. My problem is I am quickly realizing this game could be a huge time waster, I do not have a lot of that lately.

But boy!! Is it fun!! I was really immersed last night, my real world problems were not even a thought. I may party hard tonight and put in a couple more hours.

My son plays multiplayer with his GF, and a couple of their friends in Multi-player co-op mode and have a fortress on an Island built. Geeky I know, but man, it is fun.
