Take out the FRIDAY

Oh what I would give to be alone, just for a day!

Jamus' thinking is solid as well 😀

I have my kids all weekend. Fortunately they're just fine with video games and Marvel movies.

Take tomorrow off Gus. We'll fill in for you making pertinent observations and thoughtful comments while slickly working sexual references into each topic. (.)(.) But be back on Sunday. This could get out of hand.

Is 'out of hand' a slick sexual reference?

Sweet baby peas. Xenoblade is an epic game. For someone who grew up loving Robotech, I cannot wait to get a skelle and kicks some alien ass.

For some strange reason I've been revisiting Skyrim. I'm sure I'll be spending a bit of time with that tonight.

Also looking at some Madden 25 on the Xbox, and if I can find a Gamestop nearby I'd like to pick up an NHL game.

Sir Slash · February 13, 2016, 10:31:42 AM

Yes Gus. That was me filling-in for you though I could never take your place. That's my Missionary in life, to help out a fellow in need and try for a Happy Ending.

^Ambitious.

So, after working out my gaming plans, I threw them completely away last night and instead started and finished a short 3D/2D platforming game called Contrast which I had picked up on deep sale sometime in the past, mainly because I liked the Noirish (but colorful) art style. In this, I was not disappointed. (I was disappointed in the eventual explanation for the fantasy mechanics, but only because the explanation explicitly makes anti-sense in relation to what has been going on the whole game. I won't spoil the plot or explanation, just in case, but be prepared to go THAT LITERALLY COULD NOT POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING THE WHOLE GAME! I guess I'll interpret it as a child making up an explanation in a pre-sleep daydream that never really happened, for which there was some evidence in-story, but which is also annoying in its own way.)

Ahem.

Anyway, voice-acting and animations and things like that were outstanding. The fact that I played this on some weekend the holiday of which I habitually do my best to ignore, is almost certainly pertinent, too.

Back to doing non-romantic things.

Been playing Diablo 3 almost exclusively this week. Started a season demon hunter last weekend and hit level 70 a few days ago. Have 4 of the 6 pieces for the free set you get from completing the season journey. This seasons demon hunter set is the "melee" focused shadow stalker set. Unlike the majority I really don't want a melee demon hunter but you get it by doing stuff you would be doing anyway so I really can't complain.

I may start a season wizard. i played one last season, but this is the first season they are doing a free set for each class and I really like the fire set the wizard gets.

I've also got CMANO, Elite, Crusader Kings 2, and Aurora on deck for when I need a break from Diablo.

Cold and flu medicine has made me too disjointed to string together coherent sentences much less play anything. If compy is fired up, then it's going to be some low effort shooter; L4D2 probably. Maybe I'll just go on a rant on WoT twits, I don't know.

Gusington · February 13, 2016, 05:46:10 PM

Feel better, I am right there with you.

airboy · February 14, 2016, 10:00:53 PM

I finished Knights of Pen and Paper 2 - a beer & pretzels game if there ever was one.

I'm reading the manual and playing with Morning Sun which is an add-on for Order of Battle: Pacific.

Soviet Corps comes out later this week.

I sympathize with you guys. Have had multiple illnesses this past month. Seems like it's unending this winter.

Hope you recover from the Great Bio Attack Of '15-'16 quickly.

I may have reached the point where I'm about tired of XC2, even though I haven't beaten the game yet. I expect I'll keep plugging at it this week, but I'm increasingly feeling like getting back into my AAR projects.

And that was before I saw the Reader's Choice Awards category. :D I spent this morning while waking up trying to plot out what I needed to do for my next stage in Empyrion.
