Endless Ocean

Adam messaged me the other day with "Do you like the ocean?"

I said yeah, and asked what's up. "Just curious," he replied.

Next day: "I bought a game about the ocean."

What's it called?

Endless Ocean. It was $30.

It's actually a pretty fun game, and quite relaxing. We spent a good chunk of the weekend diving in various places, taking pictures and petting fish, penguins and polar bears. You can even get dolphin friends to swim with you. I named mine Namor and Zeus (though I should have named him Poisidon or Neptune).

As you interact with fish (poking, petting, feeding), you get more information about them. Some of them will give their info with a couple pets, and then follow you around for the rest of your dive, wanting more affection. Other fish won't give up their secrets so easily, especially in the deep sea crevace called "The Abyss." One fish down there that we can't get any info out of, we simply call "Dick Fish." Cause he's a dick.

There are also missions you can do, but you don't have to do them if you don't really want to... you've got about a week to complete some missions, so it's a pretty chill game.

If you like fish, this game's for you.
