My Current Playkit

WoW:  I played World of Warcraft during the Legion launch, and for the second expansion in a row I've played only the first month of release.  This title is on a steady decline, along with the entire MMO genre.  A reboot is required.

Minecraft:  I started paying for a hosted server for myself and a couple of friends, and it has been much more enjoyable than I expected.  Being one of the few games that really supports online collaboration and creative input, it fills a niche that other games aren't.

LoL:  League of Legends is still the go-to game for immediate quality PvP.  I play only ARAM mode because I don't enjoy the stress that bad players (virtually everyone) bring to ranked mode, and there's the leeway to be a human being in ARAM.  Better manners, more fun, solid PvP.

OOTP18: Out of the Park Baseball is the best sports simulation ever made.  Usually when people say 'best ever' it's an exaggeration, but this isn't.  The builders are pros, the math behind the game is amazing, and for a baseball fan who enjoys the drama of building your own team (or entire league) and working the ups and downs of player development, etc., this game has no peers.

Games in reserve:  MLB The Show 17, Civilization V/VI

Game on!
