Beware The Renegade Babushkas

It’s been over a year since I last touched Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem, and this time I brought company! We became a pair of renegade babushkas, and terrorized the countryside in a multitude of ways. We drove mechs with giant chainsaws and dual wielded weapons never meant for dual wielding!

We had a blast! Literal and metaphorical.

Thy Time Consumed

Finally finished the main campaign in DOOM Eternal! I played it on Hurt Me Plenty, and there was plenty of hurt… not gonna lie. Now I can play the DLC without any spoilers. Then when evening hit I took a break and played some of the old school DOOM with a friend, they finally fixed a bug that caused crashing periodically if you used the automap. Now we’re ready to take on “Thy Flesh Consumed” without any irritating interruptions.

Dawn of Sorrow At Dusk

The original plan tonight was to play DMC4 on the TV, but apparently when they patched the game a few months back they broke it for people on newer systems. It still works like a charm on the Steam Deck though, that said I still wanted to sit down and play on the biggest screen. So instead of playing on my handheld, I played a handheld game on TV. 😛 It’s the perfect size for the Castlevania DS games. I beat a couple bosses and covered more ground, though I’m still at about 33% completion, which is fine. I’d rather finish Aria of Sorrow first before finishing Dawn of Sorrow. I would have played the former tonight, but that doesn’t look quite as good on big screen…

KILL THE WABBIT!!!

Only had time for a little bit of Castlevania of some form tonight… and I laughed for a good few minutes after finding this “monster”. Apparently it’s called a “Chronomage”, a rabbit looking creature based loosely on Alice in Wonderland. The Chronomage can control time, and can typically send you back to the previous room… unless you too can control time! Luckily I already had that ability when I first crossed it tonight. Twas a funny find, leave it to Konami.

What Dreams Are Made Of

I’ve been seeing a few friends having fun in the latest Trine game, so I decided it might be a good idea to pick Trine 2 up again. I needed something colorful to get into tonight, as the entire work day was nothing but gray. I think I like these new worlds as much as the original Trine, if not moreso. I finished a couple levels and did a few unspeakable things to the local goblins. It was a fun little escape for the night. 🙂

Joy & Comfort Open Thread

Today I enjoyed some quiche I made yesterday. Treated myself to some private spa stuffs, came out of the shower and enjoyed a fruitful cup of tea, did a little gaming on the couch and even got some sun on my vampiric skin. Sometimes you have to do nice things for yourself, despite what your brain might tell you.

The only thing that would make it even better would be a third day off… but on the bright side I do have vacation to look forward to next week! I won’t be going anywhere special, but I will be using the time to catch up on some emails, do some spring cleaning, and take care of some other nerd shit needing to be done.
