Games
A Plague Tale: Innocence
So, I just got an Amazon Luna controller in their Black Friday sale, and this game is currently free to Prime members and is compatible with Luna, so I thought I'd give the pair a go to test them both out. The controller is good, though as I haven't played with one for a very, very long time, I find it hard to be fair — I mean, are the analogue sticks a little oversensitive, or is it just me not being used to using them?
As for the game, I'm still in the early tutorial-ish stages, though towards the end of my session I was moving out of them and kept dying, so, er, don't know if that bodes well. And as for cloud gaming, it seemed to be responsive enough to controls, though the visual quality was a bit blurry and muddy at times. Considering regular video streaming is mostly fine for me, that's a little disappointing; equally, it might've been a quirk of the service during bad weather on a Saturday afternoon. We'll see how it goes over time.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Well, this week doesn't quite live up to last week's forecast that it could be a "stonker" (a large box set is still in the post, which means next week will have a far lower number of titles but a higher number of films and discs), but it's still a larger-than-average week — again. There's just so much interesting stuff coming out from the boutique labels nowadays — this isn't even everything I'd like to buy; I'm trying to be at least a little restrained. It's madness, really.
Number of titles in collection: 3,423 [up 11]
Of which DVDs: 994 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,429 [up 11]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 407 [up 3]
Number of discs in collection: 8,253 [up 16]
Number of films: 4,295 [up 13]
Number of additional cuts: 418 [up 3]
Number of TV episodes: 9,850 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,185 [up 4]
See you next week, faithful reader.
