I highly recommend getting it; I've watched several lets plays on YT and what I've seen so far is interesting. They do several things in a way that is outside the box for games of its genre.

Thought I'd download TES IV: Oblivion from my Steam account and play it. I wish they fix the control support but plays fine with keyboard and moose. Man I've forgotten how pretty Oblivion was, its no Skyrim but its still nice. Thank goodness I didn't have to buy TES 3-5 but I think I got it for free on Steam when I bought the Anthology version.

Looks like I am on the final chapter of Painkiller. And holy [censored] I love this game. I've having a really fun time with it. Seeing it compared to Quake got me to eventually buy it on sale, but I wasn't sure just how much I'd enjoy it. The story isn't award-winning, but it's--perhaps somewhat surprisingly--pretty engaging. And Daniel is a badass.

Finished up Painkiller. I really enjoyed the game, but I was a bit disappointed with the length. I beat it in just over 8 hours, and I'm not some hardcore, elite gamer. I found that if I had beaten it on the hardest difficulty I would have gotten the true ending. I'll probably return to the game at some point, but I have more of my backlog to clear.

Still, it was a great time. Looks like I will be going back to Undying next.

I had someone recommend me Tyranny a while back but I ended up missing the sale. Ah well. I might give it a try regardless, and apparently there's new DLC recently? idk

Anyways, been playing Skyrim for a while now. And I mean, REALLy playing it for the first time in a long time, seeing things I haven't seen. Unpopular opinion time:


That said, I AM getting sick of Skyrim now. The game's six years old, and I've been playing it on and off since its release, the past couple of years mostly to try out some mods (everything else is replaying old characters over and over again). Been thinking of going back to Oblivion for old time's sake, but I also want to play Nehrim while I (continue to) wait for the big Enderal patch.

I also want to cut out any TES style gameplay since, again, I'm sick of it, so I might play some more Thief fan missions or some Dark Mod instead.

I thought I already mentioned this, but guess not. Either yesterday or the day before I entered Minecraftia long enough to perform minor modifications to the Hill Fort. None are important enough to document visually. Otherwise I've done no playing of any sort since for a week or so.

Shortish Minecraft session this morning. At the Hill Fort, my avatar harvested and replanted where applicable:
...all wheat patches.
...all south-side carrot patches.
...all south-side potato patches.
...the south-side melon patch.
...the south-side pumpkin patch.
...the sugarcane patch.

He checked on mushrooms, but those weren't ready for harvest.

He performed animal husbandry, breeding animals in each pen, then culling the excess for food and hides. This was his first time culling and breeding rabbits in quite some time. Much to our surprise, rabbit behavior seems to have changed since he last did so. After feeding and breeding they went ballistic, jumping so high a number of them sprang over their fence (which never happened before) and escaped into other pens or the Upper Plateau's open grounds. From then on they went ballistic any time my avatar neared them. In the end he resorted to archery to bring strays down at distance, quite tricky for those rabbits in other animals pens.

He capped our session checking the Lower Terrace sheep ranch, performing a token shearing of all four wool pens. In the process we discovered that the pen housing grey, white and black sheep was missing one light gray and one black animal. This was corrected.

Gog.com has Divinity Original Sin 2 out today for $44.

and

Steam has Dark Souls 3 on sale for $24.

I am thinking of buying one or both.

Change of plans, Psychonauts is free on the Humble Bundle. I have absolutely no reason to put off playing it anymore...well after I'm done with Skyrim anyways.

After playing Painkiller, I had the urge to go back and play some Quake yesterday and just a moment ago now, this time on hard mode. This time I am placing more emphasis on getting whatever secrets I can...and KILLING EVERYTHING.

Currently on E1M4--the Grisly Grotto. I actually found the secret slipgate this time...but there are still 2 enemies left to quash (thankfully, when you save it tells you the number of kills out of the total you have on the map you saved on). Couldn't find them after milling around for a bit, so I am giving up for the night. Next time I'll see if I can find those two miscreants and annihilate them before going through that secret slipgate.

Also played a little bit of SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell last night and tonight. It's a short game that is in my backlog and I want to knock it out. Really only trying to get through each level instead of go for as fast as I possibly can.

Sounds a bit like my experiences with Bioshock 1 and 2. Awesome games but man are they short.



Btw are you playing the original Quake, Rader?

Hell yeah. It's my third favorite FPS behind Half-Life and Unreal (the single-player one; didn't get to play UT back in the day so I unfortunately didn't get to play it at its peak). I really like Quake 2, but I also wish there was a sequel in the vein of the original.

I have the demo of Quake 2. Pretty fun, and it was such a novelty at the time when enemies could duck. Haven't seen much of it in other games after that though.

Okay...

I was actually fairly impressed with the enemy AI. Kind of sad when it's done better in 1997 than a fair amount of games since then.

I just like the gameplay of the original more, and the setting (although unfortunately they didn't utilize it as well as they could have) of the first is just so unique and particularly cool. But then again, Quake 2 isn't supposed to be a direct sequel. Id just named it that because they couldn't come up with an agreeable alternative.

I do love Quake 2's soundtrack though. Way better than the original's, although they are going for two different things. Unfortunately neither game automatically has the music working though.

Just tried a game called Player Unknown's Battlegrounds. Khajiit doesn't usually like massively multiplayer shooters but this was actually pretty fun!

I've been trying out Elder Scrolls Legends. Having a lot of fun with it so far

Speaking of Elder Scrolls I finally got Elder Scrolls Online downloaded to my laptop....although I've link it to my PS4 account to bad I can't carry over my DLCs and character from the PS4 port. Oh well its a good back up.
