A lot of mobile gaming, since I've been spending a lot of my time in bed recovering from stomach flu Once I got better... Mostly Allods with a bit of WoW. In Allods I discovered you can reset your reincarnation, so I did just that. Changed my bard into summoner and got minion that can definitely help me hide bodies. Thanks to AH I earned for Magpie helper, which picks up my loot automatically. No more worrying about missing items. Aaaand, another event started, so I farmed some currency for more cosmetic items. As for WoW, it's my first time logging in since new patch dropped. Because of Allods I didn't feel like playing it before, so first thing that happened - I was attacked by new campaign quests. Leave my alone, I have other priorities! *goes to finish Winter Veil quest that basically asks you to clean poop* Then I started to fight and remembered paladin got new animations. Campaign quests postponed, time to make screenshots. Now I'm trying to remember if any other class got updates... Hmnmnm...

Last night, Kassandra entered a tournament: She swiftly made light work of the mooks:
And decided, at the end, that the tournament had had enough bloodshed: Although clearly, he did not think so. Didn't do him much good, mind:
And it all ended happily ever after: Quite glad I had the option not to kill her.

Ah yes, AC: OD having a bit of fun with the battle royal hype.
My answer to the question of whether to kill her or him was this:
What? My Kass was a pretty heartless mercenary, it's called an RPG, right? [/div]

After spending waaay too much time in chapter 4 of RDR2, I've finally reached chapter 6.
Things have turned from bleak to utterly depressing. My two favorite characters are dead and that's not even the worst part.
Aside from the turn the story has taken I'm mildly annoyed that I seem unable to do any more camp upgrades. This was even before I finished chapter 4. I had just gotten some more pelts but Pearson was already locked right before the final mission. This blows.
I had no idea this would happen. I stalled the end of chapter 4 so long exactly because I wanted to get my hunting done.
Then again what for? Shouldn't have bothered with it in the first place. I'll just try to finish the game quickly now. I've spent too much time with it. And I'm eager to start No Man's Sky at last.

So finished AC Odyssey yesterday and it only took 215hrs which included revealing all the question marks but not necessarily clearing all of the sites. Reached Level 70 a while back, got 100% completion yesterday and finished with 9,091 kills and having travelled mostly on foot 1,718KM. Have a DLC to play but as its being released in episodes I am thinking I will hold off on that for now. Had planned to get all my legendary gear upgraded to Level 70 but the resource cost is unbelievable and in all honesty I do not think there is enough of the "Ancient Tablet" resources in the world to collect. I have cleared all the sites and only have about 60 left and you can't buy them anywhere that I know of. This is definitely my equal favourite AC game with Black Flag, Kassandra is definitely my favourite female protagonist of any game and she'd be very close to my favourite protag of all games. I have a hard time splitting Male Shep and Edward from BF for that honour. So going to have a break from AC and just dabble with build every now and then and have started a new MEA game so will spend some time on that.

BGEE... Rescued Dynaheir from the gnolls and added her to the party. On the way back to Nashkel to unload a bunch of loot, came across an xvart village. Normally I swing around it to avoid the combat but them accusing me of attacking them when they attacked me first made me not give a crap, so the party killed them all, and their bears too. Then headed to Beregost to clean up some sidequests. Next stop is the temple east of town, to pick up and turn in the quest for Basileus.

I just finished Tower of Time, which is somewhat surprising, given I don't like puzzle games. I bought it on impulse thinking it was an fantasy RPG game, but it is predominately a puzzle game, the most linear game play I've come across. Nothing your companions do (your hardly in the game yourself) has any effect on the story. It's how I imagine visual novels to be. The artwork is very nice, and I quite enjoyed the combat. (Though I always play on easy) i.imgur.com/dNIgYYr.jpg Anyway, after all the posts by dazk and others, I caved in and bought AC Odyssey (Gold Edition $75.00 on sale) I haven't liked any of the previous AC games, but this one looks maybe different enough to give it a try. I'll leave it till after Christmas to start, and play one of the smaller games I bought in the GOG sale first. Edit: I've started Expedition Viking, I'm liking it so far.

Watching Atlas. This is similar to Sea of Thieves except that it has way more content. It's survival Ark skinned as pirates. Everyone starts with nothing and has to gather resources to craft what they need. Ships are rafts at the moment until players level up enough to start building ships. So right now, the late shift crew are sailing in two rafts to other islands. They have to prepare food and water, especially food to prevent scurvy. Along the way one of the streamers kept pooping. Yep, pooping on the deck of the raft.

Started playing No Man's Sky in co-op today! Omfg, we BOTH wasted TWO HOURS of aimless walking around not knowing how to craft the stuff needed to repair the spaceship. We finally looked it up so we wouldn't rage quit. Then we felt REALLY stupid. So anyway, the tutorial is CRAP!!! Also, boyfriend spawned on an extremely busy planet. He had so many icons on the map that they overlapped his spaceship icon. So he couldn't find his way back to it. He had countless people on the planet, some asking for help in chat windows. Apparently they got stuck somewhere, unable to leave! I was alone on my planet, had no icon spam and found my ship again. Boyfriend had to die and respawn at his broken spaceship, save and then join my game to get off his crappy buggy planet. I quickly found him, helped him craft stuff, traded him a few items. (Which we had to look up too....) Theeeen I lost connection to him and couldn't join him anymore. So once he had his spaceship, he joined MY game. JEEZ!!!! We made our way to the space station where we could FINALLY make our own character. And we're looking fabulous! I'm the one on the left, he's the birdman on the right.

Yesterday in BGEE...
Explored the Beregost temple region after collecting the (rather large) reward for killing Bassileus, killed a bunch of canines of all varieties, then discovered the ruins of the Ulcaster school. Explored the dungeon and returned an old tome to the ghost of Ulcaster to help him regain a bit of sanity. The party then headed south to Gullykin. Asked the apparent guy in charge there about the way to Firewine Ruins. According to him, the path is through the basement of the local winery/temple (or maybe just a wine temple?) so that's where they headed. About the time I got here I was basically falling asleep at the computer, so I'll pick up there next time.
At some point I'll head north again to deal with something about a bandit problem? Or, maybe Jaheira and Khalid will have it all figured out by then since I dumped them a while back. They seem like the do-gooder type.
I plan on playing BG2EE once I'm done here, but I'm going to play as a different character so I can truthfully tell everyone in the opening dungeon I really have no idea who they are. Also, I want to be an Undead Hunter so I'm not level drained every other second. That might just be the most annoying enemy attack ever, especially for casters.

Oh, sounds like the MP still has a few hickups there. Hope you’ll stick with it until you get a bunch of blueprints. The possibilities for building bases are really quite extensive.

That moment when you are going to be generous and toss some coins but accidentally shank two beggars in the face. So yeah...that happened. In Assassin's Creed Revelations.
Was going to find something more demonic to play for my earlier post number. But came up short and figured Envy's glorious booty wouldn't cut it. So...
Learned that dyeing ones clothes is illegal in Constantinople. I mean, I get it being illegal to try and dominate the market place. But dyeing your clothes? No understanding for fashion, tsk. Granted it could just be that shopping at merchants increases the likely hood of someone seeing you and tattling, but I prefer the idea of a very strict fashion police.
Had two fun falling instances. One where he corrected himself from smacking back first into the pavement by shifting a little to the side and that one time he tripped off the roof, but there was a hay bale close by so his Leap of Faith Kicked in. Kinda. He just fell backwards into it.
Have regained my abilities to adopt random strangers off the street and did a bit of metagaming to nabs some more lasses. Then the game handed like three of them on a platter to me, so my worries about the ratio were unfounded. Oh well. Got a full nest and a couple of promising young peeps. Will probably try and set them up with their own businesses in the next session.
Story wise I'm at the fifth memory sequence, but have only done one of Desmonds little memory lane walks, mostly because the game hasn't kicked me back to the Island in some time and I kinda prefer being with Ezio. Actually been doing well on the synchronization. Find it a lot less enraging. So far the only non full synchro's were beating Yusuf to the palace (Ezio being an old man is my excuse. Might have been able to do it, if he hadn't decided to jump off the roof and on the street, but oh well) and a go through an area in x minutes (again, old man walking. But at the same time, one extra minute and I would have had it. So like might have been able to do it...but lazy). Also that moment when googling a characters name for spelling sakes gives you a big ol spoiler. Thnx google, you are the greatest. But it did remind me that Ezio has a lovely singing voice. So just gonna put that here as a reminder to listen to him later.
So, had a grand time doing mostly other things than assassinating.

Atlas has pluses and minuses. Crafting, building fortresses and ships from ground up is great. I find there's a little too much micromanaging in survival though. * To keep your avatar healthy, you have to eat four kinds of 'vitamins' that can be found in killing animals, foraging, etc. Eat too much of one sort and you'll fall sick. * If you can't find water, you can dig for groundwater. Wait, it's not so simple. You have to lie prone and dig with your hands. Groundwater is not always there. When you do find it, you have to play a little mini-game. The sliding Cylon-eye-bar. Zing zing zing, must hit it on the right spot. * To load pistols, etc, you have to go through the motions. Pour powder down the muzzle, ram it to the bottom, pour small shots in, etc. Wait. Every step has a ... mini-game! zing zing, roll that Cylon eye and stop it at the right spot. Other than those irritants, the game looks ok.

BGEE More aimless wandering. Cleared Firewine Ruins (so many kobolds but looting their fire arrows is nice ) and then the area of Firewine Bridge. Listened to some bad poetry and released then killed an ogre mage. Tried recruiting Kagain to go check out the caravans but I guess his quest is bugged and nothing came of it other than Imoen being butthurt I kicked her out for a while.
I've got one more area to search (west of High Hedge) and then I think I can go bandit hunting. Debating whether to recruit Kivan for that part.

I was just getting into Expeditions Viking, when this happened. i.imgur.com/53LGqml.jpgThe tutorial note explaining timed missions on the GAME OVER screen for running out of time! It says time passes when you camp, and by scripted events. I haven't even made my first camp! This has to be Fu%$#@in ridiculous even by timed quest standards. If I knew it had timed quests, I never would have bought the piece of crap! Hopefully The Dwarves doesn't have bloody timed quests.

Oh, sounds like the MP still has a few hickups there. Hope you’ll stick with it until you get a bunch of blueprints. The possibilities for building bases are really quite extensive. Haha yeah the host disconnect made me nostalgic for ME3MP, lol! He could still see me on the map but I couldn't see him. When I reloaded my game we were still on the same spot. But invisible to each other. He basically finished repairing his spaceship exactly where mine was. Now that I was done the spaceship was gone from my game. The biggest problem though was his planet. I don't think that's one he should have spawned on for the tutorial. Or maybe his compass got activated too soon. Something really odd was going on. Other than that it was mostly our own stupidity that made the beginning very unfun... Going to be interesting how exploring together works out since apparently loot isn't shared. So when I put down my portable refiner to craft pure ferrite to repair one of the broken machines littered everywhere he ninja took it and "stole" the credits for repairing the machine himself! Bastard! We'll have to be careful about who gets to do what to progress equally. At least it seems he cannot steal my refiner. In the options I set all my stuff to be shared use with friends. But nobody can damage my stuff. I've read about hackers (?) who can still kill you and steal your shit. But let's hope this doesn't happen to us. I'm very excited about base building!!! The game's art style is great! Once we have enough blueprints we'll build a test base to see if griefers try to destroy it. I'd love others to visit my bades but if people are just going to try fuck it up I'll think twice about doing base building online... Extensive base building will be done in Creative Mode. I won't be repeating my Subnautica mistake. *g*

I found a new cube escape game on Android called Paradox. They take place in the Rusty Lake world with the same characters, but are mostly free. So playing them along with Rusty Lake Hotel etc gives you a better grasp of the universe. Time to sit in the tub, solve some creepy puzzles and ignore all the Christmas stuff I still have to do...

Fallout 4. Took some minor quests for the Nuka Raiders. Brought my power armor to Nuka World to use when I decided to wipe out the raider factions. Which is a shame because I like the Operators. Since I was near D.B. Technical High School I decided to kill off the raiders there. Beautiful demon armor. Come on, morons, keep running up here to get me. Here's a winner of the Darwin Award, coming at me with a piece of wood. You dare knock my girl down?? Ahh the Mascot Head of Insanity.

The Operators were the least scummy of the scumbags I guess. Or at least sane. Aesthetically I liked the Pack best. But boy, killing the Operator leaders was SO fucking hard for me. Too many enemies in a cramped space. Took me like ten tries. I near rage quit.

You know that moment when you just casually walk past a hay bale, get shot 10 meters up in the air and fall to your death? Ezio knows, in Assassin's Creed Revelations! So yeah that happened, just after a mysterious assassination. Saw a bloke who looked like the bloke who used to date Ezio's sister. He got the red target sign over his head. So shanked him. Then walked past a hay bale, shot in the air and died. Good times. Turns out I was supposed to beat the bloke up. So I did. Hopefully he will leave me alone now. Ezio's male admirers are also increasing, sneaking up behind him and giving him a sneaky hug. Then he pays back their cheeky little daggers pushing in his back with his own right across their throats. Good times. Been failing on the full synchro quite a bit. Mostly because I'm lazy. A bit of them because of bugginess, but mostly because I'm lazy. But got an adopted assassin for all the dens and did their first mission. Then went shopping a little, looked for some books and wrapped up memory sequence number 5. Been having these little glitches when I minimize the game, either it will freeze or Ezio will become free of the camera and I have no idea how to stitch it back on him. So end up bringing up the main menu and then the game freezes. So the solution would be, just stick to the game and don't minimize it. But it's hard when youtube notifications decide to park themselves above the mini map. Which coincidentally marked the end of this session, because I just can't be bothered at the moment. Still for the most part had fun.

Found out I need to practice with AIM-7 Sparrows as AIM-120 AMRAAMs are not available in the sole campaign available for the Hornet (1989 campaign, AMRAAM is 1991 introduction).
That means I have to stay nose hot on bandit for the missile to track properly. That also means no Maddogs when the onboard RADAR is too cumbersome to achieve a lock (you need to manually designate a target on radar for a Fox 1 or Fox 3 to track - with Active radar guidance, which is called out as Fox 3 upon launch, you also have the Visual mode where you just put boresight on target, pull the trigger and call out Maddog. That means the missile is launched without instruction from origin aircraft, and will track the first target the seeker cone finds. Which may be a friendly - careful doing Maddogs around friendlies).
It also means that F-pole just became a part of the realm of wishful thinking, and so did launching and diving to beam enemy radar.
As an added bonus, 9X-Ray is also unavailable with it's high-offbore capability, so I can't use the JHMCS to get IR locks on closer targets. Instead I get either the 9Lima or 9Mike. Have fun launching the earlier IRs, I guess? Anyway, with the 9X-Ray, I can slave the missile seeker to my helmet mounted display and get locks on targets up to 80 degrees off the nose. With the Mike and Lima, I need to face the target directly (but I can still uncage the seekers to allow them to track on their own to a degree once lock is achieved - or use the radar-assisted mode).
First mission briefing claims Tomcats on BARCAP are engaging Vampires launched by bandits to the north of Mom (from Krasnodar, this is the Black Sea region - Georgian border to be more exact, very close to Crimea). We're launching from Alert to engage more bandits coming from Sukhumi. We assume they are also armed with anti-ship missiles and covered by fighters. Fun times are imminent, and I do not plan on getting close enough to the coast to figure out how their AA net is - or get close enough to even have to use IR missiles. Something tells me I only get those on the wingtip stations anyway.
Further more, it's fairly likely the Russians won't be using radar-guided missiles at all. If that is the case, my RWR won't be much help.

I've put together another settlement video. Let me know if this is considered spam by now...
I think I started building it a year ago. Lost interest. Picked it up again a couple of weeks ago. Not the most impressive build but the place has a story at least.

I'm back haha ... but just for today played some AC Odyssey the last couple of days and i'm now level 60 and still only 24% or was it 25% in the game. Yes i have done a loooooooooot of side quests those last couple of days. And i was in the arena near Pephka yesterday where i have to kill a certain Cultist and he was level 26/9 ( not 100% sure anymore ) and i was level 59 uh i can tell you'll already that it was a pretty easy fight haha. I think that i have killed at least a hundred Mercenaries and i'm not overreacting here maybe even more then a hundred. Killed the Cyclops ( which was a disappointing fight ) and the Minotaur which gave me the A-Maze-ing Victory! Trophy yay. From time to time i had a lot of fun especially after level 50 but before that it could be really annoying and frustrating at times. And the easy mode is not easy at all. I hope at least that there will be a Story mode or something in NG+ otherwise this would probably my last playthrough. Did like my conversations with Sokrates a lot i hope i will meet him again because i have not seen him in quite some time. Also killed two legendary animals at least they gave me a challenge. Oh and i also killed the complete Eyes of Kosmos Cultists which gave me the I am Legend Trophy again yay. I really like Kassandra though she is one of my most favorite protagonists out there. And i wish you'll a Merry Christmas and already a Happy New Year.
