Played some MGS1 while remuxing some footage tonight, and finally defeated Psycho Mantis with the Achievement/Trophy to prove it. Next stop is Sniper Wolf!
Overcoming The Heart Of Darkness
Finished American McGee’s Alice tonight, overall I had a good time with it. Some of the game mechanics haven’t aged well, but the story, music and overall weapons made it all come together. I think my favorites were the deadly jacks. They did an incredible job with the idTech3 engine, I kinda wish they had a multiplayer deathmatch mode. 😛
Now I can properly begin Alice: Madness Returns next time I need to get my fix of Alice. Not sure if I’ll start a new game, or if I’ll continue on from the save I already had. Might be a good idea to do the latter to refresh myself on the controls. Save that for another time though, tomorrow I have a few digital science experiments to tackle, and maybe continue a video project.
Sunday Resonite Get Together
Yutram and I went for another round of world exploration tonight. We found some old relics from the past, including an NFT Cryptobro Museum (it was just as bland as it sounds). Then we hopped to a few other small worlds until we met up with a couple other friends and watched a bit of a documentary before calling it an evening.
We also made a new friend along the way, and they were the only one playing in actual VR! Watching them gush over the working record player and other items was great, exactly what I did when I started playing around. Hard to believe I’m already 100 hours in, and I still feel like a n00b. 😛
I Finished Bastion! (Or Did I?)
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. 🙂
