Something Something Skeleton
For my lunch break I decided to play Breath of Death VII; a comedy RPG. I haven’t touched this in years, nor did I get very far on previous attempts. Something about playing it on a Steam Deck felt right though, aaaaaaaand my eyes are shot after a night of poor sleep. I’m hoping to change that tonight!
Despite being labeled Deck Verified I managed to get the game to lock up twice. Next time I play I’ll have to experiment with different Proton versions to see if I can fix it.
Bloodstained Sunday Open Thread
Made it to 96% completion in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night! Finished some quests, a couple of Boss Battles. I might actually finish it some time this month! As usual, more pics can be found on the Mastodon!
Portalween 2: Electric Boogaloo
I had so much fun the other day playing Halloween maps in Portal 2 that I decided to spend the evening collecting and cycling through community maps. 99% of them didn’t crash, but some of them require a revisit when I have a less sleep deprived brain.
A Waltz Through ZombieLand
Finished ZombieLand in Bloo Kid 2! Had to defeat an Altered Beast. I’ll have to go back and kick its ass again so that I can get an achievement for defeating it without taking any damage. I can see what I have to do, it’s just a matter of timing – something this game relies on. The next world is a winter wonderland, which means I’ll be taking a break from it until the winter vibes come around.
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!
