Managed to get sucked into the world of Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow for the last bit of my weekend. After getting a couple of boss fights completed before bed last night it was kinda hard to avoid, even defeated a couple more! Heck, I might even play a little more before bed. At this point I’m going through previous areas to find secrets or anything else I’ve missed. I’ll make sure to hold off on the final boss battle until I finish Aria of Sorrow; I’m pretty much at the same point in that game too, just collecting things.
Back To The Main Plot (Borderlands 3)
We decided to return to Borderlands 3 tonight for the first time in a couple of months. On Friday we watched the Borderlands movie, which out of all the movies out there it is definitely a movie. We figured after watching the movie that the writing in Borderlands 3 should feel better by comparison, and to a point it was.
Weekend, I Have Arrived
The last couple of days have felt like scorched earth, yesterday I had some quality time with my Steam Deck in the backyard during the heatwave. Today I worked through most of it, though it was still pretty hot after getting off work this evening. But now it’s chill, and my weekend. I think I know what I’ll be playing. 😀
T’was a Portable Day
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve used my Steam Deck. I made up for it yesterday by bringing it to work for one of those long lunches that are fewer and far between these days. Played a bit of Cosmo in DOSBox, and remembered that I really need to set this up in RetroArch, the save states and cloud saves would make it worth my while.
Tonight I didn’t even bother turning my desktop on. I’m writing from the tablet instead. I’m feeling exhausted after a long day. Ending it with a nice shower and a bit of couch gaming seems like the way to go… I won’t have that kind of time tomorrow night.
Beware The Shadows
Finally finished a quest in Aragami 2. I wanted to get an S Rank, so it took me a few tries… BUT I FINALLY DID IT!!! I had to eliminate four targets without anyone seeing me. There were many K.O’s in order for me to achieve that. But at the end of the day, at least I know that as a ninja I would throw one hell of a sleepover.
Birds of a Feather…
We did something a bit different for our weekend game session and did a little virtual couch co-op with Untitled Goose Game! We had fun doing goose things, like trapping a small child in a phone booth, making him buy back a toy plane from a shopkeeper we kept trolling, and made a gardener’s life a living hell.
Whippin’ Dat Ass
The fog consumed my evening, and so did the Castlevania universe. I didn’t mean to get sucked into it, only meant to play until I got stuck. Instead I beat Carmilla, learned how to high jump, and uncovered even more of the castle. I’m practically tied with Aria of Sorrow, completion wise.
It’ll be interesting to see which game I finish first. Aria of Sorrow has more weapons and abilities, but being able to high jump my way to new areas also leaves me intrigued.
