Tale

Finally attempted to play Pillars of Eternity. Framerate is unplayable, so it was a failed effort.

Came down with something Sunday, maybe the Flu. Damned if I know. Couldn't sleep at all that night because swallowing was accompanied by pain. The good news is last night I simply slept through the pain, having delicious nightmares about pain induced superpowers.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place in Bloodborne. I have access to three areas. The first I've gotten all the way to the boss, but can not beat him. I've only beaten him once while cooperating with others and there's usually a better track record than that. Thankfully he's optional. The second area I haven't reached the boss in yet. It might be the most annoying area in the game, though. The enemies respawn as you progress. I've made my way nonetheless to the second lamp, only to find out that there's THREE $#@%#@^$# NPC hunters a short distance away. Two of them aggroed me simply for entering a room and kicked my butt. I can probably take them with a little more care, but it's intimidating as NPC hunters are some of the strongest enemies in the game. And they won't ever respawn once killed, meaning that at least I'll make some progress. The third area is probably simply too high a level for me, which makes it good for farming mats. So no real complaint there. But it also is home to numerous illithid wannabes that like to steal my insight. Being that I can't two shot them with the big freaking sword and they have binding spells, they get pretty obnoxious.

Compared to me you are. I'm bitter and snarky and trying my hardest to keep it contained. I merely wish to encourage others to not be me.

I'm kind of at the intersection of "it's going to stink" and "even if it didn't..." But don't let me curb your enthusiasm. The franchise needed to get in different hands, so that's a point to be optimistic as far as I'm concerned. I'm just also the type of person who thinks game franchises should end on a high note, not get dragged along kicking and screaming until the road burns finally do them in. That just got dark. Mass Effect didn't get to end on a high note, which is why I can see people being optimistic for the change and continuance. A change in direction could be a steeper downhill or going back up it.

Multiplayer Online Battle Arena DOTA's kind of the big name here.

Loving Bloodborne.

Direct from the rumor mill.

Well, I'm excited.

Beat Pre-Sequel. The base game was pretty meh, but Claptastic Voyage was fantastic. On to Bloodborne.

I liked how Invisible War handled Deus Ex's endings.

Playing as Claptrap in Pre-Sequel. I love this guy, but he feels really fragile sometimes. Maybe that's just because his subroutines select shotgun or melee and make me want to charge at everyone head on. And the verticality and movement of the spaces make the boss fights a bit more hectic and uncontrollable.

We should just rename WOT to Oby's playhouse.

I finished almost everything I wanted to do in Borderlands 2. Can't beat Son of Crawmerax is the only thing. On to Pre-Sequel! Where I will play as Claptrap and dance and give hi-fives.

I'm pretty sure my inbox is unlimited. Have you tried being as cool as me?

Still on Borderlands 2, criminey there's a lot of content here. Finished the campaign, moved onto TVHM and the pirate DLC. This game is giving me a backlog. Still have to play Game of Thrones: Episode 3, Life is Strange: Episode 2, Borderlands the Pre-Sequel, and just got Bloodborne in the mail.

Considering that it runs on my notebook, albeit badly, you should be able to play. With some patience. Your notebook is probably more powerful than the laptop I have access to. The PoE beta was completely unplayable. I also can't play Dreamfall Chapters or the new Broken Sword. I couldn't play Broken Age until after an update. Though Shadowrun and Banner Saga run well enough.

Maybe I'll see if PoE runs tonight on the laptop I have access too. Otherwise it's more Borderlands 2! After Chapter 10 there's kind of a flood of sidequests, ones I'm overleveled for by 3.

Which character did you end up going with? I have playing Wilhelm and enjoying it so far. Intrigued about Claptrap and Jacks Doppleganger as well. I'm playing Borderlands 2, playing as Maya. She's a got variety to her style, decent power, and still needs to be active. For Pre-Sequel I'm definitely going with Claptrap. Jack doesn't look interesting except as an idea.

Borderlands 2 on PS4. It's sooooo pretty. I did not know the awnings animated! One downside of playing on the current generation is that with increased draw distance and better responsiveness in the control, I can snipe everyone from long distance. Kind of takes most of the challenge out of it.

Yikes. When we had a pool, I went outside once and the pool pump was pouring water out because the top of the unit had popped. At least that was outside tho. Are you going to replace the carpet? I'd be worried about mold because of my allergies. :/ Anyway, hope it dries out quickly! Insurance adjuster is coming tomorrow and decision will be made after that. Talking with the water damage guy, it sounds like we'll likely get the carpet replaced and two of the cabinets. The vinyl weathered the incident well.

Sounds very Solas-centric. It's apparently not. Just a new area.

Dealing with flooding since Saturday. Washing machine is broken and just kept filling, taking half the kitchen and quite a bit of the carpet. Living room sounds like a wind tunnel right now.

Tales from the Borderlands Episode 2! I don't know if I love it as much as I loved episode 1, but I do know that I love it. Anyway, I'm also starting up Borderlands 2 for the Vita on my PS TV. It was such a dumb impulse buy, $20 and you're supposed to get bonuses when transferring the save to next week's Handsome Collection. The game looks like the lowest of low PC settings, but all of the gameplay is completely intact. The models look pretty good up close, too. So it's surprising just how much was accomplished.

I'm grinding trophies on Danganronpa. Not very exciting to be honest, killing time until today's release of Tales from the Borderlands and next weeks Borderlands The Handsome Collection and Bloodborne.
