It’s been a little over half a year since I went brawling in Soul Calibur VI, but I managed to knock some of the rust off of my play-style. It took me an eternity to defeat Collossus, but afterwards my battles were either easy or a slight challenge.
On this playthrough I managed to cross paths with Geralt. Unfortunately his Witcher skills were no match for my bitchin’ skills. This session went a little longer than I planned for it to be, but since I haven’t touched the game since July I don’t feel too bad about it. 😛
I’ll make up for it this weekend by getting started on my next animated project! 😀
Snagged some relics tonight, a couple golds and a few sapphires. Some of these are going to be a pain to do if I want to get gold, or even platinum! It’s a good end to a good day, work wasn’t too bad and I even got to go out and have tea with a friend. I had a strawberry matcha milk tea and he had taro milk tea. Also tried some of the potstickers on their new menu, reallly good.
In the meantime I’ve been looking at some gameplay clips from the new Tomb Raider Remaster coming out tomorrow. I might have to see if I can load it onto my Steam Deck before work tomorrow. 🙂 I’ll have an hour to myself at lunch tomorrow and that would be great to play on a handheld.
Made a large amount of progress since last night’s adventures on Steam Deck. I moved along to the living room and played a good few hours on the TV, then eventually on Desktop. Learned a lot of new abilities! I can double jump, glide, dash and deflect… even swim!
But after several hours of adventure, Ori will now be camping in the Misty Woods until I decide to return. I was thinking tomorrow evening of trying to get more relics in Crash Bandicoot Warped, and the next day the Remastered Tomb Raider Trilogy releases! So the next couple days are going to be Playstation vibes! :v
When I wasn’t Bauldering tonight, I did make sure to set some time aside for my Steam Deck and a bit of metroidvania mayhem. It’s been a couple of years since I tried to play Ori and the Blind Forest, but my skills that I’ve picked up from other Metroidvanias helped me get further than my previous attempts. The hardest part for me was always the beginning of the game, so much raw emotion in that first part. Now that it’s on my Steam Deck I’ll have to make an effort to finish it! So far it’s worked with the other Metroidvanias in my collection. I’m only a couple breaths away from finishing a couple other ones I loaded onto my Deck, why not re-start another?
Spent the evening chillaxin’ on the couch playing some Race The Sun, til Sundown. It was a relaxing few hours of ramming my ship full speed into different objects and leveling up, bit by bit. May go down, down, down, by the river tomorrow with Yutram if he’s around. Other than that I’ll probably futz over to one of the many other games needing to be finished.
I also did about an hour of sifting through video footage, maaaaaay have potentially found more stuff to animate. I probably won’t be releasing any videos this month, currently in the planning ahead portion of my present video hiatus. Gotta properly plan my nightmare fuel! 😛
Alright! First game of the year finished! It took me a good few years to get around to finishing it, but I did it! All that’s left is to mine the achievements and secrets, but I definitely got more than my money’s worth out of it – especially since this was being given away for free. 😛 I’ve left my glowing review for it over at Steam.
Guess I’ll have to check out Trine 2 now! Well… not now, it’s late.
It’s been quite awhile since I had the urge to open up Shadow Warrior 3. Currently in the process of scaling a dam, and will still be scaling that dam next time I open the game. I was going to play Aragami tonight, but I only had 30 minutes to spare. I figured half an hour of mindless mayhem would fit the allotted time, sipping green tea along my short journey.
Oh well. Leveled up my health and chi. Made sure to park at a checkpoint not infested by demons before calling it a night. It’s always annoying to start a game with an ambush, unless you’re the one ambushing! 😛
Had a fun recording session tonight for a future Skyrim vid! I’ll have plenty of audio to go over next time I have time to slice and dice it. Tomorrow I was going to go over some video footage for Borderlands 3 to see if any of it’s worth sharing, and it’ll give me an excuse to check out more of KdenLive’s video editing suite. I played with it a bit yesterday when going over video footage that I inevitably ended up deleting. Shotcut will probably continue to remain on my system, but I figure it also doesn’t hurt to see what KdenLive has to offer – especially given that I’m looking at HDR video editing, and Shotcut currently doesn’t support it while KdenLive does. That’ll be my project for tomorrow. 🙂
Greetings from the Evil Petting Zoo.
Then for my last hour of entertainment for the evening I ended up playing a bit more DOOM 2, and managed to make it through The Circle of Death. I’m thinking after beating DOOM 2 of checking out Sigil and Sigil 2, the unofficial third and fourth episodes of DOOM by John Romero himself. Two days of DOOMING it is enough though, need to think of another distraction for tomorrow night. I know once the 14th of Feb comes around there might be some new shiny vintage Tomb Raider to play, and it’s even verified for Steam Deck!
Took some aggression out in DOOM 2 tonight. I went through some footage earlier and found out that it didn’t record correctly, and I had to delete another few hundred gigs…I feel a little better now that I’ve managed to kill some demons. Stopped on Lvl 10 for tonight, and even got an achievement for finding a BFG! Either way, I think I got enough anger out of my system to go to bed.
