Monday Morning Commute: It’s supposed to be easier than this (promised no one)

monday morning commute its supposed to be easier

I know that I haven’t written a Monday Morning Commute in a hot minute, and if truth be told, I don’t want to be writing one now! Hey, how’s that for a hello! But, I gotta admit. It’s just tough to get the juice needed to spin one. However what I know is this: for every week a skip, it becomes more difficult. So here I am, friends.

The Witcher 3.

Yeah, I’m really hype that The Witcher series is selling like hot cakes. Why, if I’ve never really enjoyed them (more out of a lack of commitment to another life-ruining game like Fallout 4)? Cause I want CD Projekt to ruin my life with Cyberpunk 2077, and I imagine this success gives them all sorts of funding for it.

‘The Witcher 3’ getting New Game Plus mode for its Final Free DLC

The Witcher 3.

Man, I’ve barely fucking touched The Witcher 3. You know. Marriage. Summer class. Arkham Knight. Now Sleeping Dogs. But even though I may never finish it, I will still vigorously applaud this decision. Every RPG should have a New Game +.
