Here's a little delayed two-parter of "Games I Played This Week" series! I traveled for work at the end of February so my time was cut a little short on my addition to the series so here's a combined post!


Here are the games I played for both weeks February 19th through 25th and February 26th through March 3rd!


February 19th - 25th

Switch

I streamed Animal Crossing to start the week out. During this stream we toured community members' island Dream Addresses and saw how creative everyone was with decorating their islands. It was great for getting some inspiration for the direction I want to take with decorating my newly restarted island! It was so much fun to get the community involved in the stream and sharing everyone's islands. We will definitely do more of these Dream Address tours in the future.

iPad & PC

The week before I left for my work trip, we played Good Pizza, Great Pizza on both my PC and iPad for stream for two of the days! The Valentine's Day wedding event was almost over so, I grinded through the event challenges as much as I could on both stream nights! We managed to finish the wedding event on my iPad (mainly because it's so much easier to play once you've unlocked all of the topping buddies) but, didn't get to finish it on my PC.


That's okay though because as long as I got to buy all of the cute pink and Valentine's Day themed decor before the event was over, I'm happy! I can't wait to see the next few events coming out this spring!

PC

I played A LOT of Fortnite the week before I left for my trip because it was almost the end of the season. The new season was releasing on March 8th which didn't leave a lot of time for me to play and try to level up high enough for finish the Battle Pass. I didn't want to buy the Battle Pass if I didn't level up high enough to unlock everything and waste my money.


I'm happy to finally have my first Fortnite skin to play with also and I can't wait to have a bunch more when getting my first Battle Pass! And I couldn't wait to get back to play more after my trip!

The monitor is sitting on a wooden desk stand with a purple glowing mechanical keyboard sitting underneath and a pink gaming headset sitting next to it. On the desk monitor stand sits an Valentine's day Target decor bird wearing a red beret, heart shaped glasses and a shirt that says "bonjour" on it. On the desk is a blue desk mat with pink heart shaped donuts on it

PC

On February 23rd, I tested out my first community game night stream! I played Among Us on stream with my community members and it was so much fun! It was a greater tester stream to ease into doing more community game night streams and I can't wait to do more here in the future!

The monitor is sitting on a wooden monitor desk stand and below it is a purple glowing mechanical keyboard and a blue desk mat with pink heart shaped donuts on it. On the desk is also a to-go coffee cup from a coffee shop and a Valentine's day Target decor bird wearing a red beret, heart shaped glasses and a shirt saying "bonjour"

PC

I finally sat down and played some games off stream this week as well! I wanted to play through some more of Lil Guardsman and record my play through for a future YouTube video. (Be on the lookout for that coming soon!)


I got half way through the game in between loads of laundry and prepping for my work trip and it was the perfect game for a cozy Sunday afternoon! I'd say that this game will end up taking me about 10 to 11 hours total to finish. I'm halfway through my playthrough and I played for about 5 hours on Sunday.

Garden Life: A Cozy Simulator

PC

I was gifted a Steam code for a newly released game called Garden Life: A Cozy Simulator! I got a chance to start playing this game before I left on my trip as well. Although I didn't have much time to dive into this game yet, I can't wait to get back to it and post some videos about it as well! Stay tuned for those!

Color By Number

iPad

One of the other iPad streams I did before I left for my trip was a color and chat stream where we just hang out and color on coloring apps on our iPads and chat with the community! One of the two coloring apps we played during the stream was Color By Number. This is my go-to coloring app that I always go back to. I love the daily coloring page and the mystery coloring pages that we never know what the picture is until its completed. And it's really fun to try and guess what the mystery picture will be. This stream we were jamming out and community members were controlling the aux cord and picking songs out to listen to. It was a lot of fun and we definitely will be doing that again in another stream soon!

The second coloring iPad app we used on my coloring stream this week was another very well known coloring iPad game, Happy Color. The page we selected was very intricate and I'll be honest it didn't hold mine or the chat's attention as well and we switched back over to Color By Number. I do like this app, I just think this one is better for coloring on your own and not as easy to color and chat with your community on a live stream. There are VERY tiny spots to color in and you have to look really closely to see each one.

Monopoly Go!

Mobile

My traveling game I've still been playing each week on my phone is Monopoly Go!. I like playing this one while I'm doing other things and letting my dice roll and move around the board. It's just one of those passive and addicting games you can play at any point.









February 26th - March 3rd

Switch

The one and only game I played while away on my business trip was Fortnite on my Nintendo Switch. I've only ever played Fortnite on my Switch one other time before and I have to say, I'm not a fan after learning how to play on PC. I brought my Switch dock and hooked it up to the TV in my hotel room while traveling and gave it a try for a few games before getting frustrated with it and turning it off. I will say it did not help with the TV being so far away from where I was sitting in the hotel room but, I will probably just stick to playing Fortnite solely on my PC from here on out.


And that is everything to catch up on for the last two weeks of gaming for me! Stay tuned very shortly for the next week of games!
