Very Xen-Like

Made progress in Half Life Blue Shift. During the previous attempt to play years ago I got stuck on a crane puzzle. There are two cranes you have to move at a control panel, but you have to stand at a strange angle near each lever in order for it to move properly. It was pretty janky, but eventually I moved on. Already had a run in with the military, taking a break from it for now. If this had cloud save capability. I’d be more inclined to install it on my other devices if it did, just to get through the game faster. Then again, Blue Shift was done by Gearbox instead of Valve.

That might have something to do with it…

Thinking With Ancient Portals

We had to take a bit of a detour from our original plan of playing the second episode of Heretic tonight, as the game crashed whenever we loaded E2M2. It was either skip ahead to episode 3, or try Hexen: Beyond Heretic. Of course we chose the latter. I was actually kind of surprised by the option for choosing from three classes, and jumping! They invented jumping! There was also the overall flow of the game. You could travel to and from certain areas via portals, not linear like Hexen or DOOM. It can get a bit disorienting at times, but we had fun for a good couple of hours.

Conquering The Bone Zone

After a long busy day I put a bunch of veggies and beef into a crockpot for a nice, lazy beef noodle bowl dinner. Aptly plopped down on the couch and returned to Order of Ecclesia. Instead of doing lots of soul searching like I would do in Aria or Dawn of Sorrow, I have to do some skeleton farming in order to level up and become stronger if I ever want to properly defeat Dracula. So far I’ve been leveling up pretty quickly by nuking skeletons with purple lasers. After I get to a better level I’ll start trying to uncover any secret areas I missed. I think there are also a few quests that still need finishing before trudging into the final battle.

You Say You Want An Eviloution?

Sometimes during my lunch breaks I like to escape to other worlds (if I can find the time). I’ve been making my way through DOOM Eviloution, one of the halves of Final DOOM. It’s your typical DOOM campaign, lots of carnage and fun! So far I’m on level 6 of 32 in solo, with plans to do co-op in the not too distant future.

Eye to Eyesocket

I can finally add Dawn of Sorrow to my Climbing Mt. Backlog list! Finished the boss battle last night in one go. Just like with Aria of Sorrow it was a load of fun. I’m kinda sad that my adventures as a teen reincarnation of Dracula are over, but there is still plenty of fun to be had in the rest of the Dominus Collection! Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclesia are currently both tied for which game will possibly be finished next.

Sleep? What’s That?

My day started earlier than expected, making my finish line to the evening all the more tiring. Some hot soup and a shower later I’m not left with much motivation.

Last night I did more soul searching, leading me to the last soul. After that it’s one final sweep of of the game to make sure I didn’t leave anything behind.

Then it’s time for yonder final boss battle.

Ghosts of a Good Time

It was another day. Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my head, etc… Survived work, avoided most of the fascist employees and did what I needed to do. Came home, and escaped into creativity for the Halloween projector. I only have another 17 days to get as much as I can put together for the special night. If I finish this one by the end of the week I might have time for one more, and if not I’ll jam as much nonsense into it as possible.
