My review of River Raid on the Atari 2600
While traveling in Arizona, the hotel we are at has a pretty nice gym. It’s the first time I’ve stepped into a professional gym in over a year and it feels pretty great! Although I have to admit that after about 20 minutes of wearing the mask, I start to hate it. I know we need to wear the masks and it’s mandatory to use the gym at this time…but yeah…not my favorite thing to wear a mask while working out. Still, you can see below my Fitness Trends that I’ve been hitting it pretty hard this week. Between working out at the gym each morning and going on long hikes or walks, I’ve really put the time in this week!
No weight measurement this week. While the gym has a public scale, I’m not stripping down to my underwear to check. I’m pretty sure they’d call Security on me LOL I’m back home soon, so I’ll post my current weight next week.
Oh yeah… Top 3 Def Leppard albums: 1) Hysteria – 2) High n Dry – 3) Pyromania
What are your thoughts on game industry drama and are there game devs/publishers you don’t like? EA and Activision have big targets on their back but does that matter to you?

We got the elliptical cross trainer installed and put together on Weds and I have to admit, it’s kicking my butt! 30 minutes on it and I come off dripping in sweat 😅. As you can see by my watch, I’ve hit my workout goals 6/7 days and pretty much stayed the same weight. Like others have said, it’s probably because I’ve lost a little weight, but I’ve added a little muscle working out so much.
I plan on hitting the workouts even harder this week and maybe try to eat a few more salads.
