Elite Dangerous:

After discovering a source of high paying passenger missions, I have basically become space Uber.

I'm even thinking of buying one of these ridiculous space cruise liners.

Finished Borderlands with Lilith.

To be honest I really didn't like it that much. The final few maps were basically me doing my best to get it done, just so I could get it over with, instead of really enjoying the game. Maybe it's because I played by myself, without other people, or maybe this sort of "constantly try to farm better loot" style of gameplay just isn't for me, but oh well. Maybe I'll do another runthrough with a different character some day. But now, it's time to move on to other games.

Aaaand Bhamv and Chad Sexington round out the roster, and the barracks is once again full. Probably not for long, though...

(I would have made Bhamv an arbalest - sniper class - except there's no option for a male arbalest :p )

So, I haven't been updating every little thing, and didn't even mention most of the routine quests that were undertaken. But there's been a lot of progress.

It's week 90, and here's the roster as it stands:

roster1.png
roster2.png
roster3.png
roster4.png


All of the necromancer bosses are dead, and 2 out of the 3 of each of the other bosses (Prophet, Cannon, Hag, Swine, Flesh, Siren, Crew) are done, leaving only the final and hardest encounters to go.

As of yet, I have not sent any parties into the manor itself. Was hoping to finish off the bosses first, and have the best possible gear to do so.

Currently in the graveyard are Gas Bandit, Grue, AshburnerX, Pez, Amy, Tinwhistler and Ravenpoe.

The stagecoach, blacksmith, and guild are fully upgraded. Most of the rest of the buildings are heavily upgraded, such that there's no need for any more "deed" heirlooms to be collected (Just busts, portraits, and lots and lots of crests).
 
Speaking of which, I'm still waiting for a good pro-wrestling game on Steam. As I've said multiple times, I like wrestling games the most for the create-a-wrestler feature. Most of the PS3 WWE games gave you the option to upload your own music. Since the PS4 era started, though, that still isn't a proper option. I've kept my eye on Pro-Wrestling X's development, but it hasn't impressed me.

Given her general animatedness and joie de vivre? I could see it.

Also, after a night of hard drinking, I tend to GAIN stress, if the SCA is any indication. ("I said WHAT? To WHO? FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU-")
There's been a time or two where you wandered off and didn't reappear for a couple days.
 
Elite Dangerous:

Experimental thruster upgrades are complete. This thing is now incredibly fast.


Note to self: It zooms real fast, but can't stop for a damn. Do not hit boost at all while approaching a station, because you will for certain crash.

Recently (sometime this year) finished:

The Blackwell Epiphany - this series is fantastic, and this was a great finale. I really grew attached to the characters over the course of things.

Guacamelee Gold Edition - Damn, this game got hard at points. I did get 100% completion for collecting things (though I didn't do any of the El Infernio challenges), but I was getting really frustrated at some of the platforming puzzles. The end boss took me many, many attempts as well. I kept trying because I really like the game. The art style is beautiful, the controls feel good, the humor is meme-tastic, and generally it's a good mix of fighting game and metroidvania. I will fault the final boss for being too big of a departure from how other fights in the game play out. I did eventually learn what works, but at first it felt very cheap because the style of fighting the rest of the game has been training you in gets almost entirely thrown out the window.

LEGO Batman - Wow, before playing this I wasn't aware the older LEGO games had all been pantomime, with no voice acting. My first LEGO game was Batman 2, which is also the first one to have voice acting. I don't think I'll be getting any of the other older LEGO games I missed, but it was interesting to take a trip back in time and see how much polish has been put on the series since this one came out. (I managed to soft-lock several levels by doing things in ways the designers didn't expect, something I've never done with later games)

Stories: The Path of Destinies - This one is more fun than it is good. I absolutely adore the main character, Reynaldo the Fox, and the story is interesting, with a great narrator, but the game is severely lacking in polish. Combat isn't very deep, even though it can be fun. The levels are pretty, but you'll end up running through the same levels over and over... but they've got differences depending on which choices you've made, so it makes it very difficult to know which paths you've taken before, which ones you still need to search and... It gets kinda frustrating. The game would have been a lot better if you could skip directly to the choices in branching paths, rather than having to replay the story from the start every single time. Still, I really enjoyed myself.

Grim Fandango Remastered - Still my favorite game of all time, and I had so much fun hearing all the commentary. The graphical upgrades aren't mind-blowing, but they are welcome. If you haven't played this game, I highly recommend it.

. . . and though we mourn for the late Captain Poe, let us not dwell on what might have been had our friend posted his prescient note in the cockpit rather than sticking it to his spacefridge.

No Man's Sky. Seriously. I've been playing No Man's Sky. And loving it.

Started a new "Permadeath" game that uses the survival mode but if you die you be gone. I'm on my 4th try right now. I've made it to my ship a grand total of twice. I've managed to make it off the planet once. I hear there's a lot more to it now and I'm trying that out but holy hell has the difficulty ramped up.

Alas, in battle with the final Hag Witch boss, Terrik has once again... Terrik'd it up.

terrikdeadagain.png


His (re)death was not entirely in vain, though, the hag was slain. That's the final Hag. Subsequently, also defeated are the final swine and flesh bosses. Even managed to kill the Shrieker. Only 4 bosses left - the 16 pounder, the drowned crew, the siren, and the last prophet. Then the assault on the manor proper can begin.

Though, I'd really like to recruit another crusader. Charon's really getting stressed having to pick up Terrik's slack. But, alas, no experienced crusader has come on the stage.
