It isn’t quite my weekend yet, but that didn’t stop us from going to the virtual casino tonight to see a familiar old face. There is a casino in Borderlands 3 (DLC) called The Handsome Jackpot.
Though he’d been dead for seven years in this universe, his face lives on in the many statues and holograms that pollute the place. We even rescue one of his doppelgangers. So far this is definitely my fave DLC, or portion of the game. It brings back Borderlands 2 vibes.
My final hour of the evening was spent chillin’ on my Steam Deck with Alice. She’s just finished playing hide n’ seek with a drunkard octopus.
Other than some pressure points and having to time my shots for certain targets I had a good time. I’m currently on Chapter two, with a total of six chapters. I’m making sure to pace myself, because after this there is no other sequel to look forward to. It’s a shame that EA had to be EA and let this IP die in darkness.
Oh well… off to my own private wonderland, I guess.
Tonight is a turn n’ burn for me. I’ve been getting these at least once a week recently. It’s irritating, but I’ve been trying to fit what little I can into these evenings. When I got home I had some sushi and miso soup, gave myself a small dose of spa, and laid back in bed with my tablet to read up on how we’re pissing off each other, and the the rest of the world with maybe some DOOM maps in between. I might play a tiny bit of Ex-Zodiac on Steam Deck before calling it a night.
Open Thread!
In the Castlevania universe gorgons look like cows, so does that mean they can be milked? Or do you just get Gorgonzola instead? Does Dracula have a farm of these somewhere outside the castle?
These are the questions that keep me up at night.
My Steam Deck has been getting a modest bit of use. Last night I paid a small visit to Castlevania: Circle of the Moon and defeated a couple of bosses. I need to finish up Harmony of Dissonance, but something in Circle of the Moon was calling me in to play last night.
The night before I returned to BloodRayne after a long while and actually made it a few levels further. Something about killing nazis is just all kinds of therapeutic. In fact, it would be cool to see a new BloodRayne game, with the kind of polish modern hack n slash games have these days it would be awesomesauce to have a nazi murdering hack n slash! Especially in these current times…
Now that I’ve finished American McGee’s Alice I’ve been plinking away at the sequel – Alice: Madness Returns. I made out to sea during my lunch break a few days ago. I have to hand it to myself, for not playing these games for awhile I’ve done a good job of remembering the controls for each one. That will come in handy tomorrow when I play something else entirely. :v
Contrary to the image displayed, it was actually a cold sunless Sunday here at Overlord HQ. It was a perfect day for slapping back cranberry chai and working in Krita on some thumbnails for more upcoming videos! I always like a little virtual photography. Now I just need to set some time aside to do closed captioning and then it’ll all be good.
Other than that, we made time to play some DOOM together tonight. Finished Shores of the Damned together! I guess they added mod support to co-op mode recently. I’ll have to see how it stacks up compared to other sourceports.
After an eternity and a half of putting it off we’ve returned to the world(s) of Borderlands 3. Surprisingly it was more fun than our previous adventures! We moved the main quest along a bit, but mainly focused on side missions. We managed to get a few of them finished before returning to our ship and calling it quits. There were burger deliveries, a guy named Chadd who outer space’d himself, and of course, lots and lots of death and destruction.
But then again, what else is new? Other than picking up the game again after a looooong break.
And here I was thinking I would have actually beat Freedom Planet tonight… I made it to the final boss stage after making it through two other bosses, then I had to fight the final boss in two other incarnations, but they did a good job making his final form be the ultimate bastard. One swipe from him and you lose half your health…
Maybe I’ll grind it tomorrow…
Played a little bit in SFM and Krita tonight, and this was the final result! This is going to be a thumbnail for an upcoming Portal 2 video of our most recent adventures. It will release this weekend.
