Monthly Update - June 2016

RESOLUTIONS:

1. No Cancer - All clear! Next CT is in July. So we're halfway through the year on this one.

2. Stay on budget. Picked up AMC's Preacher and season two of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee. That's 8 of my 12 seasons, which means I'm slightly past my goal of one a month, but I'm sure I'll have a quiet month or two during the summer. Still only at 2 games, and one of them, No Man's Sky, is delayed until August. So I should hit that goal easily, although E3 is promising a bunch of games I want to buy. PS+ free games and a couple addictive games like Overwatch and Battlefront are making this part easy. Of course, X-COM 2 is getting a port in September, and Injustice 2 has been announced for later in the year...
