Baby Incoming (!) + MK X

I think I mentioned that I have a baby on the way. I must have. A baby boy.

Anyway, we just came back from a doctor's visit last weekend. Baby's growing healthy well and looks handsome (just like his dad? LOL). He's due sometime in July, hopefully with no complications for Janice.

We've been going around buying loads of stuff for the baby, clothes, cot, equipment, diapers etc. Been thinking about what kind of training... I mean learning and development stuff we're going to introduce to the kid. It's going to be so weird taking care of a newborn baby, especially my own spawn (haha) but somehow I think I can handle it together with Janice.

We watched Book of Life over the weekend too. It was surprisingly a good movie, very colorful and thoughtful. Wonder why I never heard of it much, it kinda snuck in into cinemas, if it was showed here at all (I'm pretty sure it must have been). The plot revolves around the Mexican "Day of the Dead" celebration and it has quite a novel take on the lore.

On the gaming front: been itching to get into a new fighting game, was looking to get into Tekken maybe but its not out yet for next gen systems. Enter Mortal Kombat X. I've never really gotten into the MK / Injustice mechanics and combo systems before this. The combo system is quite clunky and I'm not sure how hit confirms into specials work in this game since most specials put you at significant frame disadvantage.

Still, I've been having fun relearning a new fighting system, especially one that was so non-intuitive to me. I've practised enough to perform combos with relative consistency and getting the hang of the button press kombo system. I've been focusing on just using Kenshi, the blind telepathic swordsman and I just love his Balanced variation; good at both long and close range to really mix it up.

I've also been getting back into Blizzard games, playing Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm mostly. I'm trying to make a good Control Priest deck but I'm missing the vital legendary pieces to really stand toe to toe. I also have a cheap no legends Warlock deck which isn't too bad. Heroes of the Storm, focusing on playing Sgt. Hammer (just love that hero) and just got her master skin, yay!

Ok that's all thanks.

Wow shit one year?

Lol I didn't realise I haven't updated this for a while. Quick updates:

Janice is pregnant; its a boy, expecting in July / August this year. Yay! No name yet.

Playing lots of Destiny, finished Dying Light (its above average) and getting back into Hearthstone for the arena mode.

Business is slow, I have ideas for a non-profit organisation to use games to do good things? Idk.

Going to Bali on Thursday for a CNY trip with the family. Going to Penang the week after.

What else? Not sure. Talk more later.
