Playing Call of Juarez: Gunslinger In 2022

I recently picked up Call of Juarez: Gunslinger as a freebie on Steam, and decided on a whim to try out a bit of it tonight. It’s a typical First Person Shooter with a perk system and leveling up that takes place in the old west, really digging it so far. I remember when it first released that it looked intriguing, but seeing Ubisoft in the title didn’t make it a top priority purchase for me, that and the large list of games already keeping me busy. But time has favoured those of us who pay close attention to locating free games, and tonight it was good fun making up for lost time on a title that went unplayed until now. I’m three levels in, and a level 5 redneck!  I’ll have to play this a bit more, but I might have to check out the rest of the series if I keep pushing through it!

I Completed A Game!

I was in a more chill mood for gaming, as opposed to the last couple weeks of fun violence and dick jokes. Not only did I beat the game, but I 100%’d the shit out of it!  Got all of the achievements, and even gave a friend a little tour of the game via a private stream. AER: Memories Of Old might not have much to do other than exploring, but it’s beautiful and calming enough to get away with it.

If you’re looking for a game to just chill and explore in, this is a beautiful game to do just that. You can spend hours flying from island to island, and uncovering a story that’s almost as fragmented as the world itself. My only complaint is the lack of replay value, now that I’ve fully finished the game that means I’ll actually be able to uninstall it! Rarely does a game achieve that status on my computers. 😛

The Broforce Is Strong In These Future Clips

I wanted to do a little bit of Shadow Warrior 2 tonight, but my dizzy spells had other plans for me. On the bright side, editing Broforce footage doesn’t cause me to induce any vomiting! I edited down almost three hours of footage into a little under 14 minutes! It can only get shorter from here! I think I’ll take a break from it over the weekend though. It’s supposed to rain for the next day or two, time to hibernate a little, and maybe play a game if my stomach allows me to.

Open Threads

Friday Night Open Thread

I’ve been ending my evenings with a little bit of spa treatment from Birthday season. Mainly the triple pack of gel mask for a nicely toned face, even if it’s mine. 😛 I’ve tried all 3 in the set (Rose, Cucumber, Gold) and they all make me feel refreshed after a shower. COVID has been spiking around here lately, so it’s nice to feel as fresh as possible. I still have managed to avoid it, while some people I know had to go out from it. Fortunately they’re vaxxed. Their 5G beams helped them return to work faster!

I’m also kicking back and enjoying some raspberry lemonade chamomile tea. I’m feeling a little under the weather, and chamomiles usually help increase the chill factor., even when warm.

I don’t have much planned for the weekend. If I’m not feeling motion sick I’ll probably play a game… maybe go through my closet and throw away some stuff. I was going to do it last weekend, but I just felt really tired, especially on the first day off. There was a lot of muscle action, and my body needed to recover… and Shadow Warrior 2 was really addicting too. I might play more of that tomorrow if the dizzy spells go away.

Revisiting Memories Of Broforce

I found time to look through my Broforce recordings, and it has, like, allllllll of the content. There’s a little over two hours of content to go through still, and I already found a video’s worth to play with, and plenty of potential for animation! Revisiting this one has been a blast, laughing at how many times we died and all the numerous ways we did it.

My previous Broforce project was fun to work on. It’ll be interesting to see what I can conjure up, and when I might think of releasing it. 😛

A Blockdude And A Cyborg Walk Into A Bar

Tourist Season

The scene has been posed, and the script has been written! Now we just need to find the time to go over it and do a little recording, and I can begin animating. This will be the second time I’ve done a bar scene, we seem to like bar hopping from universe to universe. I guess there’s a certain Party God we can thank for that! 😛

If there’s any spare time tomorrow I think I’ll go through more footage, just to see if there’s anymore gold to find. TAKING CARE TO NOT DELETE ANYTHING FROM THE MAIN PROJECT DRIVE.

I’m thinking Broforce. 😛

Construction & Destruction

I had to kick myself around a bit last night… apparently in my footage cleanup I deleted something slightly important, like the game footage for my second Amnesia video. I’m not sure how I did it, but it’s no longer on any of my drives. The only consolation prize is the animation I put in for the ending, which can work on its own as a stand alone video. I’m kinda bummed that these horrible memories are gone, but that just means I can revisit these nightmares again in 4K. Oh well… Live and learn. At least I’ll have two videos for October, albeit one of them a tad smaller than anticipated.

That said, it’s time to begin anew. There is a Yakuza video to be made! I will need some rest before I begin construction! SHAKA!!!

Dreaming Of Yakuza Sheep

It looks like I can add my Yakuza footage to my 2022 YouTube lineup! There’s a good few minutes of content that I cherry picked out of the hour of footage I’ve accumulated. In fact, it doesn’t really need any of my animation to go along with it, unless I count the video editing. I’ve already started working on it and have already begun brainstorming with Yutram for how the ending will go down. I’ve already downloaded some helpful assets to properly setup the stage. In fact, the stage is about 75% of the way setup! I just have to decorate the room, place the “actors” in their proper areas with proper poses and then begin working animating dialogue… once we have that written down.

Another Day, Another Demon

If only we had some demonic Benny Hill music to accompany this scene

I’m thinking in a couple more play sessions I’ll be able to finally finish the game! My character has been made super powerful thanks to all the bounty missions, side quests, and trials. I even advanced the main plot! It took a slight twist that I wasn’t expecting, one that could only be properly understood if you played the previous game.

That’s enough for now, though. Time to leave this one on a cliff hanger to resume some fucked up story telling. I sifted through some of the Yakuza: Like a Dragon footage and might actually have enough to make a video with it! I’ll figure out more of it tomorrow after some more rain induced sleep.

Just A Humble Bounty Hunter

After a bit of grinding I managed to get through the Bounty Hunting missions, and managed to advance the main plot! Then more bounties showed up, and it’s all a vicious cycle of viciousness. On the bright side, the quests seemed much more diverse in the sense that it didn’t feel entirely like “Go locate A and kill B” kinds of quests. One of the last quests I finished tonight involved collecting demon rods.

It’s not what it sounds like.
