Back into Outland! And The Overlord’s heart grew six sizes that day… When you’re a klutz like me that’s a good thing. 😛 I didn’t get to play for too long, but I did uncover new ground and even found a secret in a previous area. Like with most metroidvanias I imagine I’ll be doing a lot of backtracking.
Last week I mentioned that I’m taking a bit of a hiatus from YouTubing. I’m currently working on what originally started as an ordinary GMod gameplay vid, and turning it into a full SFM animation based on the recording! We’re currently heading towards destinations unknown… the French side of the moon perhaps?
Last night I tried something different from my humungo games library, and opted for the 2016 version of Layers of Fear. It’s 99% jump scares, but I suck at being scared of them… I just keep thinking what would happen if the creators of The Stanley Parable wrote their own jump scares. Relaxing game though!
I remember trying to play BloodRayne: Betrayal years ago, but couldn’t get the hang of skidding to do a backflip properly. I seem to be doing fine with it on my Steam Deck though, in fact I made it to Chapter 4! I noticed there’s a more remastered version of the game that features voice acting and higher resolutions and framerates (oh my). Might consider getting it during an upcoming sale if the price is right.
It gives me something to talk about with my gaming co-workers when I return. We always swap stories about what games we played over the weekend, and knowing them these will be two more obscure games they’ve never heard of. 😛
Felt like making a Quinoa Bowl for Breakfast! Chopped up some bacon, fried an egg, and made the Mushroom Sauce recipe from the Skyrim Cookbook I picked up over the holidays! I’m using more cream than the recipe called for, and I also added some Parmesan cheese, because cheese.
For the Skyrim Cookbook and other gaming cookbooks check out The Video Game Library!
After all these years, many attempts and many breaks in between… I finally defeated the fucking warlock! WOO!!! HUZZAH!!! EXCELSIOR!!! That doesn’t mean that I completed the game – I still have a couple pages to find of the Warlock’s diary, and more achievements to grab, but I made that bastard wake the fuck up long enough to kick his ass!
I had a post… really I did. But WordPress decided to eat it, and I’m tired, so fuck everything. I’ll try again tomorrow. 😛
In one form or another it’s been an all work no play day, so this post is going to be rather dull. I’ve had issues sleeping these last couple of nights, so I’m doing a small bit of cherry blossom aromatherapy before bed. Along with a mix of sencha and matcha green tea. Surprisingly I’ve managed to get a few friends of mine over to the matcha side, with a little bribery of course… 😛
The mornings have been starting with a bitter chill, and have been thawing out towards the afternoon finally! I was actually able to treat myself to some watermelon mint iced tea I got for Christmas! Been hydrating with tropical teas after a long day, even treated myself to a little spa action just before bed. I didn’t get much done on animation tonight, but I did export some additional audio into SFM to work on tomorrow.
It will be quite awhile before my next video sees the light of day, but what I’m putting in a lot of ideas to hopefully make something half way watchable. As a normal GMod video I don’t see it amounting to much, but recreating it in SFM and taking a liberty or two could spice things up a bit!
Something in the next scene is going to catch my eye… I wonder what it’ll be?
This will be my last video for awhile. It’s been a good run though! I’ve been consistently releasing videos since the middle of last year! So I’d say I deserve a little break, and to work on something more than just gameplay!
Until then, stay tuned for my next animated nightmare!
