BATHE IN THE MEAT CHUNKS

We finished up another DLC in Borderlands 3. So far the DLC’s seem a lot more fun than the base game itself. The Handsome Jackpot is easily my fave, but Krieg’s DLC had us laughing despite the mixed reviews this DLC has amassed. I liked the character dialogue, it was interesting to see the differences between both Psycho and Sane Krieg. The level design was an absolute fever dream; most of it was unpredictable. If I had anything to complain about it would probably be the end boss battle, and it’s also a pretty short DLC.

For the most part though, we did have a good time in absolute chaos.

Mastering The Art Of Enduring Clunky Gameplay

This is the farthest I have ever made it in AOD. Maybe there’s hope to finishing this game yet, though it’s too soon to say. Despite the amount of clunk in the trunk I managed to get sucked into this universe for the remainder of my evening. If there’s anything good to say though is that we at least have Photo Mode, and Krita. The Photo Mode included is basic compared to other games that offer it. Fortunately there are programs like Krita and Gimp that can help fill in that gap.

Bringing It All Together (Video Editing)

Did some distilling of the video variety tonight. I have enough footage from a few different Resonite sessions to make another video! I just need to do some work with the audio portion and I’ll probably have another one exported and ready to add to the release queue. I only have a few hundred gigs of Resonite footage left to go through, though something tells me it may grow again before I get through all of it.

Overloading On Fun

A couple weeks ago I was sifting through the ol’ gaming library and thought to myself “I haven’t played Overload in a hot minute, and decided to continue my space pursuits. For the most part it was a session of remembering all of the controls, and finishing a level. Which made tonight’s run pretty smooth, for the most part. I’ve spent almost an hour in the current level just making sure I get all the secrets and to rescue all the scientists. I can only ever play for an hour, or an hour and a half if I’m lucky. Moving in six dimensions gets taxing on my stomach after awhile – I’d hate to imagine playing this in VR… I’d probably vomit in about five minutes, give or take.

From The Unending To-Do List

I’m almost done doing closed captioning on all the future videos to be released. I only have about four more, and a couple I still need to make thumbnails for. I still have plenty of footage to pour over, hopefully I’ll find something soon that I can add animations to. The last batch of videos I’ve put together have only consisted of gameplay that doesn’t really call for any additional edits.

When I get caught up on a bunch of other things I’ll have to consider committing to one of the many animation ideas I’ve been kicking around in my head. I’m really itching to do something in Source Filmmaker whenever I can.

In the meantime… I already have it in my head that I’ll work on either more CC, or maybe a thumbnail or two.

Not So Forbidden

Been enjoying the Forbidden West these last couple of days. Looks absolutely stellar on a large TV, just like the previous game. I’m currently at Level 13, might play a little more before calling it a night. It’s been hard for me to put this one down – once you get started it’s like playing Skyrim, it just sucks me into its universe.

Taking A Walk On The Darkside

Had a nice little gaming session on the TV this afternoon. I’ve been playing Darksiders 3 a bit on and off. It’s a bit different from the first Darksiders, but I’ve been having fun with it. I remember some co-workers warning me when it originally came out that it was horrible because all the Horsemen should be, well… men. I guess he never heard the old phrase “Hell hath no Fury like a woman scorned”. I always meant to check it out, but never got around to it until recently. It looks great on a 4K TV! Praise be to me for being capable of making my own decisions, despite the dudebros that want to do all the thinking for me.
