While most people that I know are playing The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remaster – I’ve once again been lured into one of the many Castlevania games in my collection. It’s hard to believe that I’m about 92% of the way through Aria of Sorrow. With a few more sessions I’ll probably have this one finished! Most newer Castlevania games have multiple endings, and so far I’m on track for getting the best ending. I just need to farm a few different kinds of souls before I trudge into the final-ish boss battle.
Putting A Stop To Ruin
We completed the Bounty of Blood DLC tonight. My only complaint was that it fell on the short side, and it ended on a cliffhanger for something that will probably take place in BL4. We had a good time, all things considered. I guess next time we play we’ll have to jump back into the base game.
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.
Late Night Easter Open Thread
Happy Easter! If you celebrate Zombie Jesus Day… If not I hope it was the day you voted for. Mine was quiet, there was ham, potatoes, sugar, and some digital violence to replace the Easter Egg hunts of yore.
Open Thread!
Left 4 Deathcraft
We decided to check out Deathcraft. A Left 4 Dead campaign that takes place in the Minecraft Universe!
Can be downloaded here.
Forbidden West Friday
Back in the Forbidden West again. Finished a side quest, and mainly focused on hunting machines and animals for crafting purposes. Another fun game in front of the TV after a long day. Will probably play more during vacation. 🙂
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. 🙂
