Happy Portalween!
Decided to try a few Halloween themed maps during my lunch break, and came across a fun map to fit Spooktober! It’s from a series of maps called Office Prank. I’ve seen a couple YouTubers play through the series, but never saw this map before! It was short, sweet and definitely worth looking at! You can download it from the workshop here.
Hades’ Elysium
Made it out of Asphodel, and as far as Elysium! Who knew there were heavenly parts of Hades? Of course I was sent back after meeting a couple new buddies.
At least I finally defeated that damned bone hydra and freed Orpheus.
I also redecorated the halls and completed a few prophecies, enough that I can take a break from it for now. 🙂 It’s time to call it a night anyway, and reality demands that I rest for it.
Infiltrating The Hive
I always seem to find myself going back to the Left 4 Dead’s at least every Spooktober Season. It fits the vibe, AND if you’re on PC you can enjoy an entire community’s worth of imagination. I was browsing GameMaps this afternoon for a potential fun campaign to play this evening with a friend, and I came across The Hive – a campaign based in the Resident Evil Universe. Five maps in total, with much to explore, decent pacing and a comprehensive hint system put in by the map developer. Plus, each time you play the campaign it will randomly choose a path in the map for you to go! Giving more of a reason to play it again, and again, and a…
There were some bugs here and there, but it was mostly a couple missing textures and some weird special infected spawns. I don’t really have any other complaints! It was very well put together from intro to exit. If you’re feeling a nostalgic itch to play some Left 4 Dead 2 I recommend giving this one a go!
Spooky Serious Sam Sunday!
It’s Spooktober! Easily the best time of year IMO – a fine time to indulge in eldritch horror, candy and costume ideas. For the first day of Spooktober, Yutram (aka the one with the almost unreadable name) and I decided to play with some mods for Serious Sam BFE! We wandered the Spooky Land Of Evil Creatures, and yeah… as far as the enemies go it lives up to its name.
The Spooky Land of Evil Creatures is a five level custom campaign that is graphically basic in design, but features Halloween clad enemies and a fun challenge! You start off with just melee but gradually find more weaponry and ammo along the way. There’s even a final boss battle!
Overall, I would rate this campaign a 4 out of 5 Pumpkin Spice Chais. It uses a nice selection of music from other games (credited on the workshop page), and the basic graphics can be forgiven for the combat and Halloween decor.
For the Month of October I will be focusing my precious game time on the spooky parts of my library. Potentially clean the cobwebs off of certain game titles, and maybe even investigate some new ones! There’s plenty of potential for Halloween modding the games that will allow, and spooky single player games as well!
PUBG Ain’t Got Nothin on This
Yutram and I have been trying to find new things to play together. We’ve wrapped up Borderlands 2, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, and Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.What else is there to do? Well, we decided to check out Totally Accurate Battle Grounds; a game that totally lives up to its title, like totally. We played as a Squad! It was good for a few laughs.
I AM THE NIGHT
After spending a good part of the evening working on my next disasterpiece – I escaped into the world of Aragami for awhile and advanced the plot juuuuuuuuuuust a little. Got a couple scrolls and a talisman! Enjoying a little bit of tea and mochi before bed. It’s getting time to order some more soon, it’s a nice accompaniment to green tea! Kinda like black tea and cookies.
This was the final frame I left off in for tonight in SFM. I’m almost done animating the first scene! I’ll probably take a break from it tomorrow. No sense in rushing on this one – I already know it’s gonna take awhile. I’m thinking after work tomorrow of advancing the plot in DOOM Eternal, reeeeeaaalllly kick off the weekend. I just need to find one more Celestial Ring and then I can inch closer to finishing the base game and move onto the DLC!
Until then… it’s shut eye but for real, yo.
My Kingdom For a Good Night’s Sleep
My day got shot to hell because I didn’t get any sleep last night. I tried everything to get comfortable, but between eating something that didn’t agree with me and general discomfort I had to go to work on 0 hours of sleep. I did manage to catch a small nap when I got home at least, but I can still feel the jet lag. Hopefully tonight I have better luck, literally everything I tried last night didn’t do me any favors.
I did take a moment to check out a new level that was released for Whisker Squadron Survivor! It was an excellent flight, even won on the first try! Not the game I was planning to play, but it did provide with me the right amount of time to relax and unwind before having to try and do the bed thing again. :v
Here’s hoping for a more successful evening, and food that won’t threaten to commit crimes against my stomach while I sleep in bed. Maybe then I’ll have some energy tomorrow to NOT take a nap and actually do shit.
