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.

The Final Challenge Awaits… Next Time

Ventured deeper into AMID EVIL’s Black Labyrinth this evening. Made it a couple levels further, and even scored an achievement for reaping 10 souls with the scythe, I’m getting really close to 100% again on achievements! I’m also well poised for next time:

On the otherside of that open door a challenge awaits me. I was hoping to get this wrapped up tonight but juuuuuuust ran out of time. I might consider wrapping up the challenge tomorrow night.

Assuming I don’t get lost looking in the level for secrets. 😛

Can Cross “Defeated Giant Spider” Off My To Do List

I can’t remember the last time I harnessed the powers of light and dark during my lunch break, but that’s what I did today. This was a game that I started last year but have yet to finish like the many other titles awaiting me on the Backlog Mountains.

For lunch I had a beef and vegetable soup, and a side of Outland with an extra helping of Spider Boss. They call her The Mother of eyes, she for certain was a Mother to defeat. I wasn’t successful during lunch, but I did manage to finish the battle tonight after a nice shower and some tea at my side. Next time I play I’ll have new territory to cover!

I’m thinking for tomorrow evening I’ll take a break from video stuff. I did a lot of that over the weekend to prepare my latest YouTube release, and I’m thinking about finishing up one of the games I’m close to ending.. just need to figure out what one. 😛

Having a gay ol’ time tonight.

I actually jumped around between a couple of games tonight! I started with The Game Of Life just to see how the digital version works. I’m thinking of getting a few together to play a couch co-op session, assuming we all have good internets. It was nice to get a good practice run in, it’ll help prepare me for a future session!

Then I finished off the rest of the evening with some Ex-Zodiac! I finally found one of the missing data chips and made it to Level 3 security access! This one took a few tries to even get to the end boss battle, it was pretty brutal. When I did finally make it to the end though I was rewarded with an A Rank…

Of course, it wasn’t all fun and games. I did sift through some video footage for anything with potential, and instead deleted a little over an hours worth of footage that won’t really serve me anything. Freed up plenty of time to unwind with some tea and a little more gaming than usual. I’m thinking of looking over some of the footage for Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, haven’t touched that in awhile.

Ending My Evening In The Outland

Other than last night’s Baldur’s Gate 3 session I’ve mostly been gaming on the Steam Deck this weekend. Yesterday I stayed warm in bed and played a bit of Metal Gear Solid, and tonight I returned to Outland! It’s been awhile since I’ve touched this one, but I made up for it by finishing a couple boss battles and even gaining the ability to charge into things. I still need to obtain the launch pad feature. Once I do that I’ll backtrack and see what I’ve missed.

First Breakfast Curry Of 2024!

The original plan was to make a cashew nut curry for my weekend breakfast, but our neighbors bamboozled us with some english muffins! So I decided to poach a couple of eggs with a homemade red curry sauce, added feta to garnish it. Then today I took the leftover sauce and had it over a goat cheese stuffed omelette, then topped it with a mix of olives and roasted red bell pepper. I would have taken a pic, but I couldn’t stop myself from eating it! Maybe next time!

The Inevitable Weekend BG3 Post

Played a little bit of BG3 tonight, didn’t make it too far but we did learn some new strategies. It was a small break from the video… I’m almost done working on it – keep running into the occasional hitch, but I’m getting through it. Gonna finish the credits, then I’ll finally be able to export it! Then sleepy time.

Keeper Of The Shovel

I haven’t posted much about it, but I’ve been animating away every night! Bit by bit I’ve been bouncing between two different projects, and tonight one of them finally won! I completed all of the animation, just need to do the final exports! Then I can begin on stitching it all together. If all goes according to plan I’ll release it next week! w00t!

Taste That Rainbow!

The copious amounts of film noir rainy weather have been putting me in a mood for more colorful games, and it doesn’t get much juicier than the Spyro games. I played more Year Of The Dragon, and funny enough we’re actually in the year of the Dragon! I might have to play more games involving Dragons as a kind of a personal side-quest for myself.

I cleared a couple levels, found all the gems, spheres and completed some basic puzzles. They’re pretty simplistic, but then again this is a revamped kids game from the 90’s. I’m only playing through it because the original games were never available where I lived growing up. My only childhood memories of Spyro involved the first levels of the original Spyro game on a Pizza Hut demo disc. It’s kinda funny telling younger gamers today about those old times about ordering pizza and getting demos, fun times.

With my weekend on the rise I’ll probably kick it off with something a little more adult, something to sleep on anyway. I only have a few hundred ideas to choose from. :v
