Finally finished Bastion! Well, got one of the two endings at any rate.Now that I’ve unlocked NG+ I’ll have to go back and get all the other swag and achievements I missed. Not even half of them are unlocked, something I’ll have to grind on an evening where I feel less tired.
Pounded By The Work Week
You know sometimes you can end up on the strange part of the internet? In Resonite you can ACTUALLY experience it. This is just a mere fraction of what I found tonight, maybe the weekend will prove more fruitful.
In the meantime: Open Thread
Distorted Memories
It’s strange… I had another one of those dreams where I was back in the mid 2000’s with a friend that never existed, introducing them to Team Fortress 2 on a laptop that I never even played it on. Maybe it’s the music I’ve been listening to at work, we’ve been on a mix of the 90’s and 00’s and it’s been SUCH a THROWBACK. Either way it’s still better than those annoying dreams about being late for work. Those ones are always the most irritating.
The Red Queen Awaits
What’s this? A game that isn’t Resonite? Apparently I still play other games? I finally made it past the Royal Rage in American McGee’s Alice. The boss was a total thorn in my side until I figured out what I needed to use to thwart the bastard a second time. Now I’m on my way to the Red Queen… who knows how long it’ll take for me to get there. I’m close to the end, but how long until I decide to play it again? At least I got through the boss battle…
New Video(s) In The Works!
I’ve got enough footage from Resonite that I’ve started sifting through the couple hundred gigs I’ve accumulated. I still have to figure out how I want to divide it up, but I have plenty for at least one video. I’ll go over it again with fresh eyes tomorrow to figure out how I want to end the video, and what additions I need to add to it… if any. So far I’m not sure if I need to add anything additional.
Each night I’ve been diving into public folders where avatars, props, and all kinds of tools are kept. This evening I scored on some Omega Mart Products! Methinks I’ll be doing some grocery shopping for my personal home. 😀
During my excursion into public folders of swag I also stumbled upon some drinkable Gatorade bottles. Another item I’ll probably stock up on… if I remember which folder I grabbed it from. I was filming at the time, so if I forget I’ll probably be reminded when I finally get around to processing the footage. 😛
Monday Evening Open Thread
Just leaving an Open Thread tonight. Too chill to write anything else.
Open Thread!
More Sunday Adventuring
More Resonite shenanigans! Yutram and I worked on our avatars a bit with some science, and then we spent the rest of the evening adventuring through more worlds. We followed a cat to a hand drawn spirit realm. I’m sure it looks even more amazing in VR.
Then I ended the evening listening to records with Bong and one of their friends. Twas a nice evening overall. 🙂
Resomovienites!
Our movie night was a success! We decided to watch the 1977 Japanese Comedy/Horror Film “House”. It was one hell of an experience that taught me that even horror films have their super sentai moments. It’s about a young girl who travels with her friends to visit her Aunt’s house, and then things get really interesting. It was full of 1970’s campiness, and managed to hold anime/manga vibes. We had some good laughs watching it tonight! We also did some world building afterwards, and a bit more exploration. We found a dreamscape world that dances to music. The skybox even has audio visualizers, the trees and rocks dance in tune with the music and it’s just a whole vibe I can appreciate!
Every Evening Is Another Learning Experience
I may be playing a lot of Resonite, but I’ve at least been learning about model porting and Blender along my travels. Tonight I successfully ported over the lotus I wear in the YouTube vids, and thanks to the help of Yutram and Bong they helped me retexture it. There will be plenty more opportunities for me to burn more knowledge into my brain as I bring over more accessories and models. We’re thinking of having another weekend movie night in one of the cinema worlds tomorrow, now we just need to decide on what to watch…
Dude… The Colors
One moment a friend wanted to know if I wanted to pal around with them in their TARDIS in Resonite, and the next I got to meet a friendo of theirs, and from there we did some world hopping. Since playing Resonite I’ve already accumulated a couple hundred gigs of footage, will have to go through it at some point!
