My latest YouTube Transport Fever Scenic Ride-Along episode just finished processing and is available for public view. In this one we deliver coal to a Steel Mill.

This is my last train route with sufficient scenery the majority of its route to be worth "filming." For now at least. I hope to continue the series as more of the map gains decent scenery, but doubt I'll be able to keep any sort of fixed upload schedule. Oops, what am I thinking? I've still another episode before running out of acceptable subject matter.

Currently on the end of the Interlude of Shadows of Undrentide. I'm a bit leery on Ch.2 because I hate puzzles. And hard fights. And Deekin dying. Again.

Me and Microsoft had a fallen out. I bought a $100.00 Xbox Gift Card from GameStop and it was activated and everything, so I took it home and found out the card didn't work. I tried contacting Microsoft and tell them about it and they couldn't do anything and directed me to talk to GameStop about it only to find out GS can't do anything about it either. So basically I just burned $100.00 that could have been used for something else.

Anyway I decided to trade the XB1S for the Zelda Theme New 2DS XL.

That's really crappy.

Like the code didn't work, or it was already used? Because I've heard of the latter coming from gamestop.

The code just didn't work, it was a faulty gift card. I think I had something similar happen when I owned a 360 I got a Xbox Gift card and the darn thing didn't work. I never had issues with Sony and Nintendo but that one was my bad as I scratched a letter off by accident but I managed to find the missing number/letter and got the card to work anyway.

Ew. That's just crap.

I'm sorry.

Thanks . Looks like I'll be going back to the PS4 Pro but that'll be a month from now, in the meantime I have a cool looking DS and my laptop as filler. I've been thinking about a gaming laptop but man are those things pricey! I can buy two PS4 Pros for the price of one of those things .

That's why I don't do laptops.

Desktop PCs are cheaper. Much cheaper. And you can do so much more with them, whereas the PS is just for games. In fact, you can emulate most consoles on them too, if you're into that.

Not sure how good the emulation scene is for the newer ones, since I haven't dealt with it in a while(not a retro console fan either really), but I know a lot of the older ones are readily available.

Edit, just found a PS4 emulator in a shiz and grinz google search. >.>

I will say the one thing I like about my New 2DS XL is that it came pre-loaded with A Link Between Worlds which is probably my second favorite Zelda game. Also I did manage to get Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana on my PC and now just need Memories of Celceta and Ys V and I'll have all the Ys games on my PC.

The only Ys game I own is "Ancient Land of Ys" on 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 inch floppies for IBM/TANDY and 100% compatibles. VGA, EGA, CGA, Tandy 16 color, Hercules compatible. MS DOS or PC DOS 2.1 or higher. Keyboard or joystick. Bought it circa 1989/90. Have only vague memories of the game. Know I didn't play it to completion. This was when I was brand new to both PC and at home video gaming. I still have the box and its contents. Heck, my third PC sports a 3 1/2 inch floppy reader. Doubt I'll see if it runs. That PC hasn't been used in well over a year and is WAY behind on Windows updates.

Just found out I can play the Division on my laptop. Though I prefer the console version I can at least still play it on the medium graphic setting though it looks like 360 or PS3 graphics at least I can play it with little lag.

Good good.

Indeed specially since its one of my favorite Tom Clancy games, can't wait for the sequel.

I never got into it but if you are, that's good. Different strokes, different folks. ^^

Huh my arm feels funny .

lol.

Would have been funnier if the person kept the whole thing in as the title of the "show" was Different Strokes lol. Stay Tuned was an interesting film.

I remember that show.

God I'm old.

Couple of frustrating, by and large unproductive days in TpF. Attempted improvements along different segments of what laughably passes for the map's railway "mainline." In each case I ultimately admitted defeat and backed out of all I did. Also did some scenic detailing along one of the mainline's too rare adequately constructed segments. Even that wasn't totally satisfying as some of what I didn't can't be seen while traveling at track level (riding trains).

Need to finish adding text narrative to what will be TpF Scenic Ride-Along ep7. By rights I ought to wrap up and post it tonight. Somehow suspect that ain't gonna happen.

ADDENDUM:
Now several hours since my initial posting, I just finished an excellent TpF session that saw me add four crop fields, an orchard, farmstead, hedges and trees, and detailing as needed. Lots of fun. The difference, I think, is that this time there was no indecision or fishing for workable ideas. No question what that stretch of land was gonna be used for. An irony is that it fills a scenic gap in the TpF ride-along episode I'm adding text to before posting. No way am I gonna re-shoot all that footage to include the new scenery. What I might do is "film" just that section of the ride and included it in a separate video along with some in-progress scenic projects not far enough along, and unlike to be so for quite a while, for their own individual videos.

I'm playing an oldie but goodie, Star Trek Starfleet Command. I got it off steam, I used to play this game for hours when it was new.
