I had big plans to finally finish Pillars of Eternity and the White March before the sequel comes out, but it never came to pass. Throw one more game into the backlog pile.

Millenial Discovers Secret of Photosynthesis - Restaurants and Grocery Stores HATE HIM!!

This weekend will have a big trip to Bed Bath & Beyond for some home goods since our roommate moved out and we’re taking her bigger bedroom soon.

Man, I need to get back to PoE. I have a Kind Wayfarer paladin character just languishing in the 3rd level of the Endless Paths.

I’m still having a rough time with Orphan of Kos in Bloodborne- every fifth attempt or so I can get him into phase two but by then frustration sets in and I just suck. Never mind Laurence, who kills me in one hit no matter how much fire resistance I stack up. I’m wondering I I just want to try and finish the base game…

After a holiday in Iowa, I’ve returned to playing Bloodborne again- this time I’ve gotten further than ever, defeating Mergo’s Wet Nurse and most of the DLC. I basically have four bosses remaining before the end, but my god is Orphan of Kos stomping me hard to the point where I’ve put it back down again for a minute.…

This weekend between cleaning the apartment and preparing to leave for the holiday, I’m going to get more time in on my Arcane build in Bloodborne. I did the Chalice Dungeons until I got to the Keeper boss- beat them first try and got the Bone Ash set! The Dungeons got a bit boring after that, so I’m taking a break…

This weekend I won’t be able to play too many games besides Darkest Dungeon on the iPad since I’m visiting my folks. My partner and I missed Thanksgiving since I came down with a stomach virus so now I’m getting time in with my family for the holidays since Christmas will be in Iowa this year.

It will also be a great way to take public money, filter it through private contractors and into Trump family hands.

My enthusiasm is cooling for Legend of Grimrock II mostly just from time spent with it. I’m nearly at the end, though, so I need to push through the last few areas and get the true final ending and I can put it down. It’s just the Crystal Mines and the Castle and I’ll be all set but there’s a lot of puzzles and stuff…

I was working on Divinity: Original Sin and I think I’ve just bounced off of it. It’s a little too much for my attention span between the crafting, dozens of side quests and having to figure out what’s meant to represent oil or water on the map in a dark rainstorm and failing to differentiate and setting my tank on…

I liked Hyper Light Drifter a lot. It’s fun and challenging without being impossible and the art style is gorgeous and atmospheric. And there’s a ludicrous number of secrets to find.

I started playing Divinity: Original Sin again since I’m stuck on the admittedly optional Hunter fight in Bloodborne. I’ve got a party of four now and we’re third level and have finished the murder investigation in Cyseal and a bunch of sidequests- but I’m still under level for everything outside the walls, which…

I’m glad to hear it, I doubt my players would pass up a campaign with dinosaurs in it. I’ve had fun with WotC’s campaigns, but I think they seriously need some plot help. Princes of the Apocalypse’s hook hinged on people being kidnapped, forgotten about and then found potentially months later. It became a running…

It is first and foremost a dungeon crawler. You make the whole party yourself so you don’t get the fun NPCs. But there is a pretty good, if linear, story. I feel like Heart of Winter tries to address the lack of interaction/non hack and slash gameplay by having more NPCs to talk to but it is ultimately all about the…

Fiasco seems like a great time, but I can never get my D&D group to show up for one-shot games like that. Whenever two or more people are going to be out (basically every other week or more) everyone just decides they would rather stay home. It’s hell getting old and cranky.

I love me the Ludwig’s Holy Blade but I always end up using it and I think the saw cleaver gets a pretty big damage boost vs. a lot of enemies that isn’t reflected in the stat line.

As per my gaming resolution, I’m plugging away at Bloodborne and Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition. Didn’t have a ton of time to make progress last weekend, since we had a guest staying over and wanted to go upstate last weekend but I managed to make some progress on both.

I think I managed it the first time I did it by just skipping the parts that are too hard or by sneaking my way through by hiding behind rock formations. I’m awful at PVP so the bell maidens were what worried me- but they were easily the least bad part of that area.

In the upper right corner above the text area is an “Aa”- if you drop that down, you’ll get a formatting bar where you can bold text.
