Sunday Night Fun: A Lil’ Work & A Lil’ Play

We had our weekly BG3 session tonight. I drank some bad well water, pissed off a Swamp Karen and collected sausages and other odd swag.

Also managed to frame a future scene for one of the next Skyrim videos. It’s going to be a gaming montage from one of the past livestreams, it’ll probably be awhile before it sees the light of day. I have everything pretty much posed in place, now I’ll just need to draft a story together to tie into the gameplay. I already have a few ideas, just need to put them into a format involving words.

Other than that I’ve been enjoying fine wine and creamy choco-hazelnut tea lattes. Tonight I made a spicy tuna tomato pasta tonight with olives, and last night I made my own rendition of Beef Burgundy Stew. I say my own rendition because I had to change a few things in the recipe to make it more tolerable. Like, not using four fucking onions. I traded two of them for some quartered red baby potat’s. A stew without potat’s?! That’s a fucking crime! The stew tasted even better today when I had some with a breakfast sandwich. Between those two meals I won’t have to worry about making anything for a few days. 🙂

DOOM 2: Demonic Boogaloo

Been playing DOOM 2 the last couple of nights. I barely remember these levels, apart from the first one. But I’ve managed to knock some rust off of this ol’ game to remember. I’m stopping on E1M7 for now. I’ll probably move onto something different for my weekend, and maybe even some big TV gaming! I pretty much have the place to myself tomorrow, and I can make dinner at the same time. Just need to contemplate what game is worthy of some big screen time?

Sooooooooon

Now that I’m wrapping up production on my current animation I’m starting to see things beginning to thin out. There’s still an electric butt-fuck ton of footage to troll through, in fact I’ve already deleted a couple hundred gigs of what I don’t need. After the new vid drops this weekend it’ll be awhile before another release, hopefully not too long. 😛

Late Night Open Thread

There’s something nice about a well scented candle and some tea after a warm shower and a long day. Been drinking jasmine tea and finishing up on some animation, with a little bit of Steam Deck thrown in while waiting. I played a bit of Freedom Planet 2 on my Carol Save, got an achievement out of it tonight! SFM got a bit more attention tonight though, progress. 😛 I should have another video up sometime this weekend!

Dragon Wings At Twilight

Got my weekly dose of Spyro out of the way! I spent a good few hours getting through the Summer Forest World.

The difficulty curve has really ramped up compared to last week’s excursion. I had to redo one of the speedway maps more times than I care to remember, and then there was my adventures in the mine cart of DOOM.

I’m pretty sure I spent almost an hour trying to get it right, but eventually I prevailed and collected all of the METAL GEARS.

Once again it was a nice escape for the evening! I gained a few achievements, and moved the plot along enough now that I’ll move onto something else tomorrow night.

OMG PLAYING METAL GEAR

Been playing MGS a bit on and off today, and in between my deck and desktop. I just finished chatting it up with Meryl before calling it a night, funnily enough I had the old disc case in easy reach for getting her number. 🙂

I also forgot how fun the VR missions could be! Today I got through all the Sneak Practice levels, and just started SOCOM training. This should come in handy as a fun break time distraction during my future lunch breaks.

Read Any Good Books Lately?

We did a better job this time around of not dying and getting lost in the Underdark. We finished our fighting, and went topside to the Gnome Camp to take care of some unfinished business, messed around with different strategies, and maaaaaybe a little bit of reloading.

We played for a good couple of hours. Ended the night by actually ending the evening in game. Next time we go to play we’ll be rested and refreshed, just as our true weekend selves can be. 🙂

Fox On The Run

During the holidays I accumulated quite a few games, as is tradition! Some gifted, some bought. I saw a couple friends purchase Spirit of the North, a calm game where you play as a Fox wandering the landscapes of Iceland. You follow the spirit of the northern lights, and eventually become intertwined with her magic and energy. The visual quality is just as breathtaking as the calming musical score that follows you throughout your journey.

By using her powers you can open up new areas, and eventually gain more abilities from gaining a howl that can purify evil ragweed tendrils, and spiritual power that allows you to leave your body to explore places you normally couldn’t traverse.

I’ve decided to leave off on Chapter 4 for now. There wasn’t much to the game itself, but if you like to wander and take in beautiful scenery it’s definitely worth a play, if only to unwind. My only complaints so far are the inability to cloud save, and sometimes the controls show their clunkiness. But I’m already a couple hours again, and I know that I’ll be returning to it again sometime soon. 🙂

And So It Ends… For Now.

Decided to end tonight by completing The Black Labyrinth! Truly a stunning DLC from start to finish, just as beautiful and crazy as the base game. It was so much fun to come back and play AMID EVIL again! I’ll need to return to it someday to obtain one more achievement to once again 100% the game. It gives me an excuse to go back and find the secrets I missed the first time. 🙂

If they made another DLC campaign for this, or even a sequel I’d happily look forward to it. The amount of imagination that went into crafting these levels is far beyond stunning. It’s always a mix of joy and sadness when I finally finish a game with an actual ending.

Lucky for me I have plenty of other ones to try and finish! 😛 What will the weekend bring me? Only a goodnight’s rest and one more day of hell will get me there.
