But, y'know ... whatever. I read over 50 physical books last year. But my choices are going to be a lot more interesting to talk about if I count audiobooks. |

We only have a summer one. And they just count hours read so that's boring as heck.

The winter program is 3 books earns you a free book from the bookstore. Every 3 after that enters you in a drawing for local gift cards. I think the summer was 20 hours read per entry. |

I finished Uncharted 4 a while back. I'm just replaying the remastered versions. That was my 6th time through Uncharted 2. I only played Uncharted 4 once though. Which underwater part? Trying to remember. |

Yes. I'm still stuck on it. I got there the very first night I owned the game and haven't picked it up since. Oh I remember that being slow but I thought the game pretty much guided you through that part. You could always watch a walkthrough on youtube. |

I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually. I'm obviously missing a step but I can't figure out what it is. |
