Yakuza Kiwami 2! My husband and I are in the midst of planning a honeymoon trip to Japan in November and this is the perfect thing to get me even MORE excited. He’s deadset on booking a hotel in Kabukicho (aka Kamurocho) that’s actually IN Yakuza 6 but we’re still undecided on that. Though we did already get a super…

Backlogged: Long Time No See Edition 

Not much to update on the gaming front. I have not finished any further Tall Tales in Sea of Thieves, despite my best efforts. Each time I’ve been unlucky and been attacked by marauders. I’ll continue on with them soon as I can.

I’d like to say that I’ll be doing something more new and exciting, but I’ll probably be grinding levels in Overwatch during the anniversary event. (During the last event, Archives, I actually managed to get all the new skins...which surprised the heck out of me.)

Manhattan, shit. I’m still in Manhattan.

I’m still super early in SWTOR but going to the Endar Spire again on Taris, and the character creation music from KOTOR playing...mmmm good nostalgia.

I wound up not playing much Sekiro at all since I last posted about video games (rather than about tabletop RPGS). Work has been crazy and I wanted to play something a little less demanding of precision, so I played a lot of Borderlands 2 from the Handsome Collection. I have Axton up to level 54 in True Vault Hunter…

I’m towards the end of FALLOUT 4, so I told myself I’d finish by the end of the long weekend. I’ve been going along with The Railroad, but after rootin’ around in The Institute for a bit I think I’m just going to fuck over The RR and chill down in the Institute for the rest of my days. It’s pretty nice down there...

I got my Oculus Rift S Tuesday and I’ve been thinking of picking up a golf game for it. I always feel much more awkward swinging nothing that swinging an actual golf club, though, so I’m not sure this type of thing would be for me.

Another low-activity gaming week for me (so low, I don’t even have any screenshots!).

Finally going to finish Metro Exodus. I think Sekiro made me step away from it, but I really do love these games. They make me feel horrible dread like Resident Evil, but I’m also 100% confident in my arsenal of duct taped weapons.

What Have You Finished This Week?

Salutations~!

OK. I caved. I bought FIFA 19 on the switch. It was 20€, don’t hate me.

I have made substantial progress in Baba Is You and have now unlocked [SPOILERS] a secret area. A new mechanic has been added: spelling! Now there are individual letter tiles that you can move around the board to spell words. One problem: you can’t invent new items this way. For instance, from MOONTH, you could form…

Nearly at the end of first Dishonored 2 play-through, Emily - non lethal style. Next level is level 8, at the Duke’s home. Crack in the Slab is a great level and I want to play an entire level with that mechanic.

Year of the PS4 back-log continues. Finished God of War last week and have now picked Nier:Automata back up again in Route C and it is an interesting trip. Just about to enter the tower.

Video games:

Zelda II was my first Zelda and I have fond memories of memorizing those dungeons. The endless levels of gold brick in the final dungeon really felt epic. But the OoT dungeons seem to have etched themselves into my brain. Something about the 1st gen 3D graphics made the environments so sparse and focused that it feels…
