Report # 57
May 7, 2017
-==Intro/CMDR Rant==-
May is off and running! I complete my MSE earlier this afternoon and hopefully that'll let the April awards reach us a bit sooner than they did last month! My apologies to anyone who had to wait the entire month for your rewards.
As I mentioned in my last report, I gave Elite: Dangerous a try and have to say am a bit disappointed. It's got what feels like a very high learning curve and it took several hours just to get started. I'll probably give it another shot eventually but I've moved on to once again trying to play through Dragon Age Inquisition on my Xbox One. I've tried it a number of times but what always happens is I get about 20 hours in and some new shiny game comes out distracting me! I'd say that I promise to stick to it this time, but with volunteering to help evaluate games and RtF around the corner, this one may take me a while to get through. But I shall persevere! Eventually.
Now, on to the Tale of the Tape.
