While I have always enjoyed playing Xbox, it has helped break up the monotony of each day.  My all time favorite is Call of Duty Zombies.  As a Star Trek fan, I do enjoy Star Trek Online and my son recently got me into Fortnite.

Fortnite has been good for him to stay connected with friends he cannot see while school is closed for Coronavirus.  They just announced we would not be returning at all this school year.  A group of 3 of them play together and they sometimes bring me in as their forth.  lol
