Apologies for how I've been posting for the last week. Last Friday I was unable to post because I didn't plan ahead, went to work on Thursday night, got home Friday morning, went to sleep, woke up at 2pm, packed for a trip down to California, sat in traffic for an hour when the commute usually takes 18-25 minutes, boarded a plane eventually arriving at my parents' house 8:45pm thoroughly exhausted.
Wednesdays MIDI-Week Single ended up not happening partly because of forgetting the aforementioned computer cable at the aforevisited parents' house and only receiving it on Wednesday afternoon shortly before going to sleep so that I would be awake enough to go to work Wednesday night, which is what I did again last night (Thursday-Friday).
And now I sit here at 7:30am wondering how to salvage what it is that I'm meandering on about so that I can go to sleep and wake up around 1pm to start my day. So on that note, I'll see you on the other side, hopefully refreshed and full of zazz.
Not that you can tell, but it's now 2:35pm and I have semi-groggily awoken from my slumber where myself and another person were in combat with some sort of ice dragon that was reminiscent of dragging a butter knife along a wall of rocks. It was not super effective.
But we're here to talk about gaming and I will do just that, but in more of an update form. Again.
In the last week, I started playing Dota 2, all thanks to Chreekat and Vorlynx. I'm presently still going through the tutorial, specifically the one where you play through the center lane 10 separate times with one of 20 characters. I've gone through this one tutorial four times already and while it has become a little repetitive, the variation in the character design and their abilities is what's keeping the game interesting. I have a feeling that this is a key feature of a MOBA. I will be going back soon.
The Bioshock 2 DLC, Minerva's Den is also progressing nicely, although I have since forgotten how/why another early Big Daddy has come to life amidst the ruin of Rapture. I think that was covered in the intro/beginning of the game, but it didn't seem all too important. Also, why is it that only your character is able to use the Vita-Chamber? And thanks to that article, it makes sense why every single enemy doesn't use the modern wonders of Vita-Chamber, from Ryan Industries. I guess I must have glossed over that somewhat important plot point.
I also started Dragon Quest VI after deciding that I needed to step away from Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D on the 3DS. I had reached a point with the game that it was not fun anymore and that I was only playing because I felt obligated to finish the game. As I told Dr. Potts this weekend, the game play reminded me a bit like Super Meat Boy except with a limited number of lives. The charm to Super Meat Boy is that you have infinite lives and being able to pass a level is determined by the players stamina whereas in DKCR3D, you are reminded frequently of your dwindling life counter and dying is just as easy. Dragon Quest VI I feel is a much needed old school JRPG, of which I realized I hadn't played in, at least I think, a very long time. Maybe not since I finished Dragon Quest V back in June 2012.
I'm going to call it a day and I will see y'all next week for a more concise and less free flowing post/article. I just needed to get back on the wagon after missing last Friday and Wednesday.
