whoops, haven't updated this in awhile Shoot Many Robots has been put on the back burner because partway through the game, levels repeat (albeit with tougher enemies) which starts to get boring. I played and beat The Darkness II, as well as New Game +, as well as the Vendettas campaign; it was incredibly fun and incredibly violent, and a refreshing change of pace from all the serious and realistic shooters out there. I highly recommend it, but due to its short campaign (~5 hours), you should w
I beat Trine 2 today. It's one of the most beautiful games I've played, for sure. The art direction is great and the lighting is just spectacular. The gameplay was a little disappointing; there were too many similar puzzles and combat still only consisted of mashing mouse 1. The biggest disappointment though was the length: a measly 5 and a half hours. Regardless, it's the type of game that makes you want to play through it again eventually. Next up is Darksiders, which I will be starting shor
I just beat Psychonauts. It was a great game, save for a few poor design choices. The writing was top notch. I didn't 100% it, and the completionist in me wants to go back collecting everything, though I doubt I'd be able to do it all without a guide (unless I want to go insane). I'm gonna hold off on that though, since I'm already kind of burnt out from it. I have plenty of games in my backlog to keep me busy: The Darkness II Darksiders Fallout The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Recettear: An
I'm 3 missions in so far and loving every moment of it. The gameplay is just so amazing. DAT IMPROVED COVER SYSTEM. And the RPG aspects are great as well. Not as tedious as ME and more robust than ME2. Also the set pieces are EPIC, pardon the cliche. Running around planets while fighters zoom by overhead, bombarding Reapers walking across the surface. Truly awe-inspiring. The OCD in me is worried that I may not do everything possible; the new REAPERS ARE INVADING SYSTEMS IN REAL TIME feature
I'm still making my way through ME2 again as I prepare for ME3... and the wait is killing me. I'm devoting all my free time to it while Icarus Effect sits unread and the Marble Hornets Season 2 DVD sits unwatched. (btw Season 3 starts tomorrow) Meanwhile in game land, I recently purchased Psychonauts because it's on sale for some reason. Also, today, I got invited to the CSGO beta. (anyone want an invite?) And of course I'm working now. TOO MUCH STUFF IS HAPPENING ALL AT ONCE NOW THAT I HA
I went and saw Phantom Menace in 3D with my friend Josh today Afterwards we stopped in Barnes and Noble so he could get someone a birthday gift. While there, I decided to look for Icarus Effect, a novel about some characters from Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I was pretty indifferent about it; I mean, sure, I'd like to read it, but I wasn't going out of my way to do so. I figured if I saw it right in front of me, that would be incentive enough to buy it. After searching through the Sci-fi section,
>wear Metallica t-shirt to work >say hello to the supervisor >"You're into Metallica?" >"Yeah." >"Sweet, I used to be really into them when I was younger." I would've never guessed him for being a Metallica fan, even when he was younger. Then again, I guess I don't seem like a Metallica fan either. keeping with my theme of Killing Floor quotes for money-related entries Also I got paid today and got 308 dollars. B) (apparently I got a 50 cent raise and no one told me???)
I was tired of aimless wandering so I looked up what Daedric quests I had yet to do. I headed to an Orc stronghold southwest of Riften. The tribe had been cursed by Malacath. He tasked the tribe's leader with killing some giants near his shrine. The chief basically commanded me to come with. Whatever. We (and by we, I mean me) killed a couple giants in the cave and came upon the final boss giant at Malacath's shrine. The chief said he was too tired to fight and that he'd pay me for killing this
On my adventures I came across a ghostly headless horseman. I was surprised and decided to follow him. He just made it to some tomb and disappeared. There were some skeletons but nothing of interest. Later I found a man who needed help returning to camp. We took a short walk to a camp full of people. Then he revealed he was a bandit leader and they all attacked me. And thy all died. I came upon a fort filled with bandits. I cleared it out no problem. When I exited I found a man who wanted me to
I ultimately decided to keep on explorin'. I fast traveled to a random location and began walking. I saw a dragon roost nearby and headed toward it. I found myself fighting not only a dragon, but a Dragon Priest as well. I focused on the Priest as the Frost Dragon flew above. Once he was disposed of, I took the mask and killed the dragon. The Wall contained ALL THREE words of Throw Voice. I traveled somewhere else and found a nearby mine. A man outside warned me that they had accidentally broken
Misc quests woo. AND NOTHING OF INTEREST HAPPENED So I set out to do some adventuring. I just fast traveled to a location and walked in one direction. Eventually I came upon a small house with a Hagraven named Moira. I thought it sounded familiar so I looked it up; she's the woman I “married” during my drunken adventures with Sam/Sanguine. (excpet I didn't experience it because the quest is bugged) I went to a dragon place roost and killed the dragon there. For some reason it didn't relinquish i
I kept doing more misc quests, intent to clear the list out. (Except one is bugged and will always be there D:<) My adventures brought me to another cave filled with a forest. These caves are always so beautiful. I also found the Serpent Stone... but I already have the achievement for finding all 13 Stones. I guess achievements can't count. I did all the quests I had except picking a side in the war, so I decided to head to the only town I hadn't been to yet: Falkreath. I enter and learn that
I was out of quests and decided to visit the Greybeards for another Word of Power. I arrived, fought a Dragon, learned the second word of Frost Breath, and left. I went to Whiterun because I had a token for a future reading I got during the Brotherhood quest line. The psychic tells me about a dead Brotherhood member who's treasure is left for me or something. He was in ruins populated by Forsworn. There was also a Hagraven, she kept teleporting away, further into the dungeon, when I tried to kil
I returned to the Sanctuary for the next part of Operation: Kill the King. I was to kill the Emperor's chef and take his place. Before doing so, I returned the heartscales to the College mage and got some Alteration spells. I arrived in Markarth and entered the Keep. I talked to the Jarl's chef and persuaded him to tell me the identity of "The Gourmet," the Emperor's chef. Then I killed him. NO WITNESSES I found the Gourmet standing on a dock outside an inn. I killed him and dropped his body in
for those of you not familiar with the Assassin's Creed series, the title refers the practice of cutting off one's ring finger when joining the Assassins I returned to Windhelm, as I had heard about someone trying to summon the Dark Brotherhood. I broke into a house and found a boy performing the Black Sacrament to summon a Brotherhood member. He thought he was successful and that I was an assassin. He didn't believe that I wasn't, and said my contract was to kill Grelod the Kind, the owner of
I continued doing Thieves quests in order to improve the Guild. I did enough for the remaining two cities, Markarth and Solitude, and started the special missions. Markarth's involved retrieving a stolen item. While I was traveling, I fought an Ancient Dragon. With the Razor, I instakilled it with the first strike. B) I arrived at the location to find a regular looking shack. The item was nowhere to be found. Then I noticed a secret button that moved the bookcase to reveal a SECRET PASSAGE. Ther
I decided to wrap up a few misc quests. First I went to Yngvild to find the ravings of a mad Necromancer. I fought through some ghosts and Draugr. I found several of his journals along the way. He was sitting on a throne in the final room with a ghost next to him. I killed him and left with his four journals in my possession Next I went to Yngol Barrow with a Dragon Claw I had gotten long ago. There were strange bluish orbs that followed me around. Nothing ever happened with them and they were n
