    I was really tempted to grab it as I never got a chance to play it when it originally came out, but with all the reviews about it, I'm going to wait until they fix the multiplayer and possibly go on sale :P

    The reviews are overwhelmingly negative, which is hilarious. I might grab it in the future when issues are fixed and there’s a price drop, as well.

    As for the last game I played, Slay the Spire. Wonderful game that I swear is impossible to beat. Not even with the best luck and most stacked layout can I beat the final final room.

    At this point, I'm not even sure if I'm going to buy it after it's fixed. Aspyr got caught allegedly using someone's mods in the game, though it seems they removed it.

    For anyone interested, Legacy of Evil explains how the Piraka got the canisters. I'd recommend reading the whole chapter for context. Or, just get straight to the point:

     

    As he descended to bring this news to his partners, Zaktan’s eyes spotted something else. Six large canisters rested on their ends in a row near the base of the mountain. They had obviously been placed there for a reason. Their condition showed that someone had been tasked with taking care of them.

    It took only a short examination for him to determine that these were Toa transport canisters. He had no idea to whom they belonged, nor did it matter, as long as those Toa were nowhere around. With their boat destroyed by the Mana Ko, these would be a perfect solution to the problem of getting to Voya Nui.

    Then an idea struck Zaktan. There would almost certainly be Matoran where the Piraka were going. And what Matoran would not hail the arrival of Toa canisters, and the Toa they inevitably brought? Traveling in these would give an invader a free pass to almost any island.

    He smiled. Even if the Piraka could only fool the Matoran into thinking they were Toa for a brief time, those few hours or days might be all they would need to find the Mask of Life.

     

    Within the hour, the Piraka had succeeded in hauling the canisters down to the beach. Avak had managed to figure out how they worked and chart a rough course to Voya Nui, with Zaktan’s help. Neither wasted time wondering how they knew just where the island was located. There was, after all, a mask to find.

    “When we get there, remember — you are Toa,” Zaktan said. “Try to act like them… or at least not like your usual selves. The Matoran will welcome us as heroes, little suspecting our true natures.”

    “That’s right,” laughed Reidak. “Hey, look at me! I’m Toa Reidak! Where’s my mask? Where’s my tool? Where’s my swelled head and stuck-up attitude?”

    Zaktan frowned. “Perhaps, Reidak, it would be better if you stay in your canister and let the Matoran come to you. It might be more convincing.”

    One by one, the Piraka climbed into their canisters. Hakann helped Vezok into his and watched as the hatch was sealed. When he was sure no one was looking, he used two quick bursts of his heat vision to puncture a tiny hole in the canister and weld the hatch shut.

    I’m not sure if you can swim, Vezok, old friend, Hakann thought. But I’ll bet you can drown.

    The six canisters moved away from the beach. Each Piraka knew now that there was no turning back. They had abandoned their lives as Dark Hunters and would, now, be actively hunted down as traitors by their former comrades. They were embarking on a new adventure — a chance to steal a mask coveted for ages by powerful factions throughout the universe. If they succeeded in their mission, they would be at war with the world. If they failed, they would be dead.
    As their canisters rode the waves southward, none of the Piraka could picture a life better than this.

    What Other Hobbies Do You Enjoy?

    Lately (as in since December lol) I've been getting back into reading, though I've only been reading Star Wars novels. I'm slowly making my way through the post-ROTJ EW books. So far, I'd have to say my favorites have been the Thrawn trilogy and The Truce at Bakura.

    Some other things I'm into are obviously Star Wars, anime (although I haven't been watching it much lately), hockey, some light gaming, and music. Pretty much all I listen to is metal. I also play bass and a little guitar, however I'm not too good at either lol. I'd like to start posting covers online someday, once I work up enough courage and skill.

    I have to admit, this was the first time I've ever heard of the term "Zillennial." :P

    To me, it's the second best holiday. It's perfect out, not too cold (where I live), and it's nice to see all the fall decor. I don't ever dress up, I'll just watch some scary movies and eat some candy. I like the marshmallow Kit-Kats the best, though I try to hold off on that so I don't ruin my teeth. :c
