Or do what HCBailly does in his Phantasy Star 2 LP and strip his unwanted characters necked and tosses them in his basement against their will .

I suppose so. Might do just that next time I play. Still annoyed by what happened with the save files though, even if it doesn't set me back that much.

Yeah, that’s one reason why I refuse to play BGS games “dead is dead”, and why I run a mod allowing for some save options in F4 Survival difficulty. So much can go wrong whether it be from crazy world glitches to save file issues.

When you go to load your saves, make sure it has All Saves selected. Fallout 4 tries to separate each character's save games, but it can get confused, and will sometimes hide the saves it should not. This especially happens if you manually save via the console. But it also happens if you started the game with no mods, and then added some. It wants to separate the modded and unmodded saves.

I don't have any mods, so there shouldn't be an issue there. I've never messed with or even seen an All Saves feature, so I'll have to check it out. Still wondering why the time stamps are jumbled up though. I'll see if I can figure out what the deal is.

Turns out I am dumb. Well, sort of. My latest save was there. I just happened to skim over it without noticing it was the save I was looking for since the recent saves got jumbled up. Just got to the quest Mass Fusion now.

Today I finally finished the main quest of Fallout 4, wiping out the Institute as part of the Railroad. I've got to say: it wasn't as satisfying to bring down the Institute as I had thought it would be. And I don't mean that as a criticism. Quite the opposite, in fact. I didn't think I would have any second thoughts about doing things the way I did, or having any empathy with the Institute's way of viewing things. Quite a lot of people died at the end. Rather a poignant moment at the end with Father too. So I'll give some kudos to Bethesda. I still feel that no Institute is much better for the Commonwealth though.

I guess this is it for Fallout 4 for now. Maybe a session here and there, but probably not much beyond that for the time being. I hope to get the Far Harbor DLC later on.

I'm playing Tom Clancy's EndWar. Other then Xcom, EndWar is probably the first RTS type game I've played.

Also I'm playing Metroid Prime Hunters on the 3DS. Interesting game but man are the control awful! I wish there was a better control customization for this game.

Here’s a screenie from BATTLETECH. The visuals are quite nice in this game.

The Loch Mech Monster

Ah that feeling that you get when an area in a game kicks your ass then you turn around and kick its ass .
I'm playing Metroid Prime Hunters on the 3DS and got to an area where I was trying to get a weapon upgrade but I kept failing at the puzzle and it finally pissed me off so I quit. Then after cooling down I got back at it and beat the area. MPH is an interesting game for the old DS but damn they could have done something better with the controls.

Congrats on your glorious victory!

Thanks...funny thing I'm not even done with the game. It's still impressive for an old DS game and it amazes me how much it parallels Metroid Prime 2 Echoes and Metroid Prime 3 Corruption with MP3 borrowing elements from Hunters in using your ship to travel from level to level. The only draw back are the controls and lack of a customization.

Yeah I’m not happy with a game that doesn’t allow me to customize. Hence why I will never touch any of the Witcher games. Playing as that sour looking guy for any length of time doesn’t interest me.

I bought Splinter Cell 3D for my 3DS and its impressive for that system and reminds me how much I enjoy playing Splinter Cell games. I might buy Blacklist from Steam.

Been playing Transport Fever hot and heavy...until my mouse wheel went belly-up after tonight's supper. One thing this play-through is becoming more and more apparent; my train line planning and track laying ability leave much to be desired. Much. All this theoretically fixable even this far into the game. That said, I doubt I'll attempt more than the most rudimentary fixes. (Such as relaying track sections to remove unneeded dips and rises where practical.

Much like with Mashinky, I've created several "towns" from scratch, thanks to the mod Plop Town Buildings (and others). Wasn't sure the passenger train routes I sent to them would see any passengers. To my delight, citizens or more than happy to ride those trains. Heck, one faux passenger route does better than several "legitimate" routes. It started out as a vanity run with one passenger coach. It now sports four coaches, which it fills or nearly fills at its several stops. The second faux passenger route, my only electric loco, doesn't carry enough folks to earn its keep, but so what?

My women have disappeared!!!!! Not sure when it happened. First noticed it following a recent performance update. I suspect a conflict between update and one of my zillion installed mods. Time Warp is prime suspect, though that's pure speculation. Doesn't seem to affect the game in any noticeable way (other than the obvious) so I'm not gonna worry over it...for now.

I've become the ultimate weapon in Splatoon 2. Whoever gets me automatically wins as the other team becomes severally blinded or simply retreat at the sight of my awesomeness .

Been playing a bit of Oblivion lately, but I've gotten the stealth game itch so I'm playing some Thief fan missions and they're as buggy as Elder Scrolls mods.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder why I haven't played Dishonored yet. It's basically the Thief series' modern incarnation, and also totally my aesthetic. Since I can't play Bloodborne and Greedfall won't be out for a while, maybe it's enough to satisfy my Gothic itch.

Khajiit really likes the original Dishonored. It has one of this one’s all time favorite missions in a video game which is loosely based on EAP’s Masque of the Red Death. The game definitely gets the Khajiit Seal of Approval. Haven’t played Dishonored2 as the aesthetic of the new location didn’t seem to do it for this one like Dunwall did.

I'm playing Tom Clancy's EndWar on the DS and its totally different then the PC or Console ports. There's no voice command but you can use the stylist and there's the addition of naval and air units. In the console and PC port you didn't have direct control of naval units but I think sometimes there are naval units outside certain maps and air units are only limited to airstrikes. I like to use Riflemen to secure uplinks, Engineers to upgrade those uplinks, tanks to take out the enemies troops and ground vehicles, Transports for Helos, Helos for Tanks and artillery for raining down the the pain.

Captured some video footage of one of my few "sceniced" Transport Fever train routes, a rail journey beginning at a passenger station in a faux town near my map's Goods Factory, stopping at another faux town station mid route, then continuing on to the passenger station in one of my "legitimate" game generated towns (Chesham). Don't know that I'll edit the raw footage for posting on YouTube. If so, I doubt it'll be voiced. (Most YouTube Transport Fever ride-alongs I've watched aren't for some reason.) My feeble attempts at landscaping are pathetic compared to the "pro" landscapers seen at YouTube.

My early poor track planning is coming back to haunt me. I can of course correct this via generous use of the bulldozer. I don't have the heart to do so. I am, however, correcting some of my worse track and road laying errors, mostly getting rid of needless dips and rises. Even then I don't touch track and roads that require bulldozing nearby structures to straighten out. (I'll occasionally consider bulldozing one or two structures, but that's about as far as I want to go.)
