Yakuza Kiwami 2

I Promise Not All Of My Vacation Will Involve The Yakuza

by

Made it to Chapter 11 after an accidental Kiwami 2 binge! This series is unlike anything I’ve ever played. It has a serious looking aesthetic, yet it has no problem throwing a Super Sentai Bus at you with its creative writing. Sometimes I go in just to play the minigames.

Originally I was going to get back to work on some animation, but I wasn’t feeling it and it’s always fun wandering the streets of any Yakuza game!

All Play and No Work Makes For One Relaxed Overlord

First day of vacation and it rains! Fortunately, I slept in, read a bit on my tablet in bed, then made an energy packed breakfast and stayed warm with hot green tea and gaming! Did more Sidequesting in Kiwami 2, and even got a little hooked on playing darts and Virtua Fighter. It was a cozy kick back with a controller kind of day.

Have you ever launched a game, just to play the mini-games inside that game? I never intend for it to happen, but sometimes it’s kinda funny to just go about your business and escape into a game within a game.

It was also a Sunday… which means Yutram and I sacrificed some of our time to The Almighty Shader Dragon and continued our adventures in the Wonderlands! Where we went hunting dice, crabs, the undead and redneck goblins. We did do some sidequests, with one leading us to a chest with an interesting bow in it.

On our next playthrough we are looking forward to a slip n slide. Something more adventurers should all look forward to.

Bonus Weekend!

by

Today was my Monday and Friday! I have a bonus day off tomorrow! I’ve been goofing off tonight in Yakuza Kiwami 2! Made it to Chapter 10!

I’ll start getting serious again tomorrow. I basically have the place to myself tomorrow, so it’ll be a good time for me to get some stuff done around the house. Plus I still have a care package to send off, and with the holidays behind me and my body rested I think I have the resolve to pull it together again.

Sometimes You Gotta Punch Your Problems Away

I started on the final VM containing TF2 and both Left 4 Dead’s, it’s about 95% complete. I still need to finish setting it up, opening up the ports, etc. In between setup points I did make time to export some audio for an upcoming project! One I’d like to return to after getting everything else taken care of.

With only about half an hour to kill, it only made sense to go on a punching spree to finish off the evening on a proper tone. It had been awhile since I’ve checked in on Kiryu and pals, and it took me a moment to remember where I last left off. Games like these are difficult to put down… fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you wanna look at it) I had my ass handed to me in a boss fight, ending my brief spree of punching all of da him’s.
