  Day 834 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today is some more black flag resynced. I went and did one of the wrecks today. I was short on time and just wanted to swim around a little bit. I missed the underwater segments a lot. They were always so stress inducing. I like the color palette down here a lot though. I’d look for an image from the older one to compare it too but I’m in a bit of a time crunch right now. They have whales swimming around down here...

  Day 833 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced. I picked this up when it was on sale recently since I was going to head to Black Flag anyways and I’ve been playing through it all day. I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to play this or the original. Still aren’t. They honestly feel like two different games sometimes, just with a shared story and naval combat. One thing I don’t really care for is how Edward I alwa...

  Day 832 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Halo 2. I’m not sure why. I just didn’t really know what to do with myself this evening and the best conclusion I could come to was “Let’s play Halo 2”. No friends this time. Just me. I decided to play solo on Normal and just take a look at all the signs. Like this one on the wall saying (I assume) no littering and no dogs. Ever since playing Portal 2 I’ve kind of been stopping to look at the signs in gam...

  Day 831 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Halo 3. I saw that Project Reclaimer came out and decided to try it. I think the big thing I wanted to try was the 128 player lobbies. Anything else and I think I’d just stick to MCC. Anyways. It was really fun. Like TF2 fun. I do think the lack of moderation was bad, because I saw a fuckton of slurs, racism, and all sorts of other things. But if I ignored that it was cool. Definitely gave me a perspect...

  Day 830 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is some more Portal 2. I stayed up later than usual tonight and finished up the Single player. It was nice going back through Portal 2 because it’s one of those games that hits well at the ending no matter how many times I play it. Listening to Cara Mia Addio at the end made me cry a little. Part nostalgia (Portal 2 is one of those games that have been with me a long time) and also just it’s really moving to...

  Day 829 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is some more Pokemon Soul Silver. I think I got as far as I could in terms of the Pokedex in Johto. Because of that I finally decided to head over to Kanto. I figured many of have some luck over there catching some of the other things I was missing. The league was definitely a challenge. I ended up carrying with a few level 55 Pokemon and revives. But the other Pokemon in my party definitely pulled thro...

  Day 828 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Portal 2 again. Made it all the way to old aperture and stopped today. Honestly got me thinking about Wheatley. I think yesterday I said he’s on a spectrum of loveable villains. Just a different Axis than Glados. Or at least I find him enjoyable. Anyways. I was just thinking about him again. I almost wonder if we’ll ever see him again (outside of LEGO Dimensions of course). I do think Portal doesn’t rea...

  Day 827 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Portal 2. In the background I finished up Assassin’s Creed 3 Remastered. Turns out I had missed an achievement about playing Fanorona and I’ve just been putting off beating that. I got that done though. And decided to swap it out with Portal 2. Make that my current “Project” game. There’s some challenges/achievements I’d like to do so I’m picking this up. First thing I noticed, and I’m sure everyone...

  Day 826 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Sonic CD. I had intended on beating it today but one level of Metallic Madness gave me so much trouble that I just decided a break was needed. It’s funny in retrospect even if frustrating. The first time I managed to clip into a box on accident somehow and got spat out at the bottom right before it crushed me. The second time I got hit by one of those exploding guys. Same thing for the 3rd. 4th I someho...

  Day 824 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is some more Soul Silver. I went to the Safari Zone today. I kind of have a love hate relationship with this place. I love the idea. But doing it, god it’s frustrating. I do miss it though. I’d love to see it come back. Though I think the 3D era it’d be a lot less interesting. I could be proven entirely wrong though. I also went slow to hunting. Honestly, for a 10% chance it was a nightmare to find. So...

  Day 820 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Sonic CD. I picked this up on sale recently because despite being alive way after Sonic CD was released, I’ve had a huge soft spot for the old 2D Sonic games. I grew up with them because my dad grew up with them. Sonic 2 was always the one I played (Fuck Chemical Plant Zone), but CD was another one I had a few run ins with. Granted it was the mobile port and I always had sound off. But still. That’s like...

  Day 819 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Spliner Cell Chaos Theory. Ages ago someone recommended it to me and I picked it up. I don’t remember who it was, but if you’re seeing this, seriously. Thank you. Legit one of the best purchases I’ve made in a while. Honestly, playing this, I can tell what elements would later go into Assassin’s Creed, which is where I’m coming at it from. But also having played MGS3 earlier this year, I’m also viewing...

  Day 818 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is some more of the Cobblemon Server I set up for my friends. Today was the first day it was in actual “release”. I ended up finding a way to get both this and the Attack of The B-Team server to run on separate subdomains so I’m happy. Honestly that’s what I love about having skills like that and being in that field. Like, I don’t really care if it’s profitable. But being able to make cool shit for me and...

  Day 818 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Minecraft. My friends asked have been wanting me to set up a Cobblemon server, which is what I’ve done. Went through the whole thing to set it up and I tested it while the chunks generated. All pretty good. I feel a bit of disdain for this pack though I think. I’d be trading the Attack of The B-Team server for it and I love that server. And I think I just feel a general distaste for modern Minecraft. I’...

  Day 817 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is some more Baldur’s Gate 3. Me and my friends have been exploring the Underdark and ended up splitting up. Though. We did it in the worst way possible. We had our support members go on their own while Me (The Fighter) and The Barbarian went off our own way. Me and the Barbarian ended up getting into a scuffle with some slavers after we stole a boat and rode it down the road. I was busy helping a Stone Ma...

  Day 810 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Soul Silver. I spent my time prepping making a checklist of just how many of each Pokemon I need to catch to make a living Johto Dex. So hopefully this time it’ll be a whole lot easier. I went ahead and setup retroarch this time to play while I fix up my DS. So far it’s been smooth sailing. One complaint though. Retroarch has been mangling some of my screenshots for some reason. This one came out u...

  Day 808 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is some Halo. I wanted to take it easy tonight, mostly because I had to be up early in the morning. So Halo was how I chose to relax. Somehow even the PvP sessions are relaxing to chill in. Well. Usually at least. I got out in a Griffball lobby for the very first game. My friend I was playing with got disconnected though so it was just me in public matchmaking with 7 strangers for this game. I didn’t re...

  Day 807 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Daikatana. I have heard that this game is basically not good. I had a left over handful of quarters though in my Steam wallet so I decided to pick it up. To really see how bad it is. I even decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and install patches and all that stuff. First of all this game is so fucking green. You ever see that Episode of Futurama where they go to the Slurm Factory? I’m thinkin...

  Day 796 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Portal: Alive and Kicking. I saw this existed somewhere the other day and grabbed it. From everything i understand it’s a remake of Portal 1 in the Portal 2 engine. It’s a minute difference I’m sure, but I was bored and wanted to try it. Honestly this is a bit of a hard thing to right about because… it’s just Portal 1. I’d like to give some introspective about how cool “such and such” is compared to the...

  Day 805 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Breath of The Wild, on the 3DS. I saw someone post a link online somewhere, and despite years of experience handling cyber security on a personal level, there was a little voice in my head that was saying “Just a peak. You’ll know it’s probably safe it’s a .CIA file”. Turns out. It was safe. And it’s beautiful in a “This looks like shit but is genuinely impressive” kind of way. I ended up breaking ou...

  Day 804 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Pokemon Platinum. I have done it. I have assembled a complete Living Dex. Right in time too because my Wi-Fi came back online today. In a way it feels like my work has been rewarded. Anyways. I have just finished collecting the legendaries a few minutes ago. A few highlights here, with my favorite being cheddar carrying the team in catching Palkia. Rest of my team got sweeped and cheddar saved us....

  Day 801 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Fallout 3. I finished gathering up the Radar dish today and climbed the Washington Monument to hang it up there. Honestly, seeing something like that, that I recognize from real life is just a “wow” moment. Like. You see it and approach it and there’s just this factor of “I recognize that!” Regardless of current state of things, it was cool to see in game and get to climb. I went bumped into willow...

  Day 803 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is some more Pokemon Platinum. I’ve been working on the Pokédex all day, and consequently the Living Dex. The major headaches so far have been the eggs. A whole bunch of walking to hatch them. I’ve started doing them in batches. I have a media server set up, and I’ve been watching Supernatural while I do it (always wanted to watch it, never got a chance). Normally I don’t try to “multitask” like that. But by...

  Day 802 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Fallout 3. I didn’t realize how short the main story was for this. For context I just met up with the Brotherhood of Steel before ending off and I’m on my way to get the G.E.C.K. I can’t check exact hours right now but I’d say I’m maybe 15 hours in? Maybe 10. It’s not a strike against it, I like shorter stories, but it’s just something I’ve noticed. I did Operation Anchorage too today. Binged it all...

  Day 800 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Pokemon Platinum. My DS’s screen has been giving me issues because it has a dead zone on it. So I switched to an emulator until I can replace it. I cleared the Pokemon league today finally, which is the main reason I picked this over anything else. Im sure for day 800 though someone will name a game that is a better fit and I’ll go “damn, I wish I thought of that”. Though. I suppose it won’t do any g...

  Day 797 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Myst. It was on sale for like 2$ so I picked it up. I was wanting the fancy modern version but ME was 2$ and the same experience. So I figured why not. I’ve been wanting to play this for a hot second for a while. I used to have a disk for my iMac G3 I could play on. I was young though and had no understanding of what I was doing. So I wanted to give it an earnest try. First thoughts? This game is c...

  Day 794 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Project Zomboid. We made a trip into Louisville today. It was a fucking adventure. I usually measure Zomboid sessions based on how many events could go into a Zombie TV Show. And this one was damn full of them. After packing up the van we got everyone piled in and headed off down the road. The first stop was at a gas station where we stopped to grab some extra supplies. That’s where we had our first...

  Day 793 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today‘s game is Fallout 3. I really probably shouldn’t have started another game while I was finishing the DLC of Assassin’s Creed 3 and Pokemon Platinum. But I also really wanted to play Fallout 3 recently for some reason. I may not finish it, but that’s fine. I got my fix at least. I did a fully unarmed build this time. I usually go for guns but this time I wanted to use my fists to punch stuff. It’s lead to some pre...

  Day 792 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Assassin’s Creed 3. I have finally done it. I 100% the Base Game. I thought for sure it would be about the same as revelations was. I was wrong. It was a whole lot more work. I’d say the 2 worst parts were the Encyclopedia of the Common Man and the 100% Sync. The Encyclopedia namely involved just a lot of waiting around which was horrible. I got it though. And I’m finally ready to move onto The Tyranny of...

  Day 790 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is some more Halo PvP. I took some friends with me into 8v8 lobbies. We had a friend who’s never played a PvP lobby before and was confident in his skills. We weren’t sure he could but didn’t want to dampen his enthusiasm so we joined him for some matches. Kudos to him, he did pretty good. Nothing crazy but he did well for having only stuck to a private lobby before. It makes me feel a shred of pride, knowin...
