Your (Sometimes) Friendly Photo Ninja

Decided to do something SLIGHTLY more modern tonight… and there was no skimping on alllll the stabbin’! I finished a couple of missions, earned a new weapon and some in game reading material for later. There was also an achievement for helping 100 demons do some acid… damage. Also, since I’m an awesome ninja I also snapped some pics in Photo Mode.

What can I say? I’m a sucker for Photo Mode. 😛

Sunday Slice n Shoot

We did our Sunday Wonderland romp as per current tradition. Helped some Goblins, and killed some Goblins, found more dice and other huge loot receptacles to destroy. I’m Level 39 with up to 60 backpack slots. This was probably our longest run so far – we played from early evening to twilight, it’s just so magical!… literally! Think I’ll be able to make it till next Sunday for the next part of our journey.

Another Unreal Adventure In Der Wunderlands

Yutram and I be lookin’ sooooooo fine.

Yutram and I managed to hook up for another adventure in the Wonderlands! We aided Queen Butt Stallion and became Heroes of Brighthoof!

This castle is simply fabulous!

We played for a few good hours, looting shooting and cycling between all kinds of different powers. I also have a pet dragon now… AWESOME!!!

Butt Stallion in all of her glory

I have nothing against Borderlands 3, but there’s something about Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands that really draws us in. Looking forward to the next play session!

This Sunday Was Nothing But Unreal (Engine Games)

An Angry and Fashionable Cabbit Girl readies her blade.

Made it to Level 27 in Soul Calibur VI! I started playing it on my Deck this morning, moved over to the Big Screen TV PC in the afternoon, then finished off on my regular Desktop. It’s nice to be able to progress in a game that I only have to buy once, and I can enjoy it in a multitude of ways. I did more reading up on the modding scene for Soul Calibur VI, and it looks like it has quite the modding community! That’s something I’ll save for another post. I had a wonderful time mashing buttons to my hearts content.

Then later this evening my ol’ buddy Yutram and I dipped our toes into the world of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. It was just the right price during the current Steam Sale, so it only made sense to give it a shot. After all we did enjoy Tiny Tina’s Assault On Dragon Keep (Which if you haven’t played it yet, you totally should), so why not?

Unlike the previous Borderlands games, you can make your own custom character from scratch, which can produce some interesting results. Especially when you travel the Overworld:

The Overworld.

We had such a fun time casting spells and collecting enchanted weapons, we made it to Level 4! We’re only just starting off but this already is looking like a lot of fun. It captures the humour of previous Borderlands games – I always like listening to the ridiculous lines the enemies spout as they’re attacking, they probably had the most fun writing up all the dialogue. We’ll have to make another play date for this soon!

From Horizon Zero Dawn to Dusk

In the distance is a Church, and not of the partying variety.
In the distance is a Church, and not of the partying variety.

It’s been a few years since I last touched this game, not because it’s a bad game… it isn’t! I just have a really large distracting collection to sift through, and it fell into the cracks. Something about the rainy weather and chai made me want to pick back up on it again, and it didn’t disappoint!

A demon known as a Chomper.

For today’s boss battle: I fought Chomper; the swimming demon anus. I have to admit, it almost killed me… not because of how tough it is, no… I couldn’t stop laughing at the sound it made:

It’s more funny than scary to me for some reason. It’s just not the noise I was expecting! It sounds like he’s looking for someone named Bob. Why is a demon anus looking for Bob? Inquiring minds, etc.

Swimming in a flooded castle.

Much like with AMID EVIL I really enjoy the level design. There’s just something cool about flooding a castle for a swim date with murderous demons and cultists. I’m just a few levels away from beating the third campaign, and I still need to finish the first two! :v For some reason I have saves for all three episodes. My next goal will be practicing playing this on Steam Deck. I’ve already mastered it on Steam Controller, the only way I play FPS on the couch…

Last Mission Before Signing Off

We had a 45 minute hailstorm this evening, and it gave me a good excuse to warm up the house with more Mech fighting! I have a good crew so far, and 7 Mechs to choose from. Also tested the game on Steam Deck this morning, and it runs really well! I’m really enjoying the different planets and missions.

I wanted to jump back into animating today, but I haven’t been feeling too well today. My head is in a bit of a haze, which is an improvement over being in copious amounts of pain. Kinda makes me wish I had one more day off to recover, but I should be ok enough in the morning to go. My body craves more sleep.
