To celebrate DOOM’s 30th anniversary, we’re playing DOOM in Portal 2!
The Inferno Awaits
Completed Episode 2 of DOOM! (Again). Finding a lot of secrets that I missed what felt like centuries ago.
There’s just something nice about revisiting these old ones, something warming in the old graphics and music. Funny enough I used to play a lot of DOOM during the holidays, though part of that might be because of it releasing 30 years ago this month. 😀 More on that later…
Evening Open Thread
Went out on the town with a friend tonight! We checked out the local holiday lights, and walked around chatted for awhile. It was a good outing, been awhile since I’ve been on an outing, especially with a friend. I usually pretty much do my own thing, but sometimes it is nice to get out and get some air. I took some GoPro footage, might consider making something with it before Merry Monday.
Open Thread!
Option Of The Double Edged Sword
They recently added the option of cursed choices in Whisker Squadron Survivor that act as both help and a hindrance. It can make the game even more chaotic and interesting. So far I’ve only experimented with one, it kept presenting me with good regular options that were too good to pass up. I did three runs, survived one. I wonder how much will change the next time I play?
Flaming At The Heels
Took out some frustrations in Hades tonight. This game makes for an excellent punching bag when under the right conditions. A warm game of Hades, mixed with some eggnog chai after a nice relaxing shower is a good way to unwind before plummeting onto the bed to endure my own version of Hades come tomorrow morning.
Motivational Monday: Gifting and DOOM
For another pajama day it was fairly productive. Wrapped some presents and used ALL of my Christmas wrap, which is fine since I’m still waiting on other gifts to wrap to come in the mail. Made tomorrow’s tea and prepped my holiday work garb. Also edited some audio to place into SFM. I probably won’t be touching it for a day or two – tomorrow I’m planning to work on some Holiday SFM imagery. 😀
Rewarded myself by finishing up the first episode of the DOOM 3 Port of the original DOOM! I stopped at E2M2. Hard to believe this game turns 25 this month… I still remember getting the shareware disc in the mail, back when CD’s were the new thing!
I feel old now… Maybe I should lay down, and play a little more DOOM. :v
Always Something To Do
We’ve only had two days of rain, but it already feels like a weeks worth. Not that it matters much to me… I slept in today, loved an orange cat and bounced between a few games after a good breakfast and some self spa-care. Started out by playing a bit of Alice: Madness Returns in the early afternoon, and managed to complete a couple of levels. It doesn’t support cloud saving, so I’ve decided to make this game exclusive to my Steam Deck. I won’t remove it from my Deck until I finish it, it’ll give me an incentive to continue my journey much sooner rather than later. 😛
Later in the afternoon, I moved over to Dust: An Elysian Tail. I played a bit of it yesterday and got from 72% to 80%! Then today I got from 80% to 97%! Maybe I’ll finish it before the end of the month arrives! I learned a super jump ability that can be used on heavily vented areas. Needless to say I’ve been having fun using it to collect all the treasure in previous areas. I just need to do a sweep of a couple more and then I’ll return to the main plot.
Then as evening drew near, and we had full bellies to power us, we played a session of Borderlands 3 and furthered the storyline along quite a bit. Unfortunately we lost a valuable NPC due to a couple of narcissists, such is life in Space Texas.
Now that I’ve explored a few alternate realities, maybe I’ll be able to have enough energy to do something productive tomorrow! I have a lot planned ahead of me, gift prep, gift shopping, some audio and SFM stuff. Today was a nice day for recharging. 😀
Saturday Night Open Thread
My weekend has begun, and my head is as cloudy as the outdoors. Time to declare an Open Thread.
A CLUE! A CLUE!
Made it through another level of the Black Labyrinth! Not only is there a lot of fighting, there is also some puzzle solving… WITH A PUNCH!!!
It was a good hour well spent. It was either going to be this or Brutal Legend tonight, and they’re both pretty metal IMO…
