Hello all! I actually had a plan for this blog but decided to do like I always do and just wing it. Which means another disjointed spastic blog that I will badly edit and shamelesly post anyway cause I'm lazy.
Well I recently had some down time thanks to a massive kidney stone (7 mm!). The downside, I was either hurting too much or too doped up to enjoy the time off. So I slept and caught up on all the crap I'm hoarding on Netflix. Not that I did not get some game time in there when I could. I had been working on getting my Gunzerker in Borderlands 2 up to lv 72 and managed to finish that. I wanted to move onto my Commando but I'm just burned out and the final Headhunter dlc comes out next week, so I'm taking a break and have jumped back into Skyrim.
Skyrim, what can I say its a hell of a game. I just hit lv30 last night and I probably have 80 or 90 hours logged, and I am nowhere near finishing. I'm playing as a Kajiit who are a race of feline humanoids who make very good stealth type builds.Theives, assassins, rogues, and such. My Kajiit goes by the name Tchur and aside from being very sneaky has gotten very good with a bow. Although my character has an affinty for alchemy I have found enchanting to be a much more useful skill. Potions are always great but poisons & potions weight can add up quick, so I have ditched poisons (too time consume and tricky to use) and focused on healing potions or other stat boosting potions.
I rented a Wii game I have been wanting to try out for a while now the other day that I will likely check out tonight. Its called Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon. The jist I have gotten from most reveiws is that it oozes atmospere and the presentations is sharp. The word "art game" was mentioned more than once. But was knocked for its overly simplistic gameplay mechanics and limited depth. I will let ya'll know what I think once I give it a spin.
And yes, you should have seen it coming. Borderlands. Or to be exact Borderlands 1.5 /Borderlands 2 prequel for the 360 &PS3. Confused? So is everyone esle. Rumor is 2K Australia is working on a Borderlands game that takes place between 1&2. And the angle is it will take place on the moon the Hyperion Moonbase hovers above. Game will feature low gravity effects, new elemental weapons like cryo guns(think freeze beams like Mr Freeze) and lasers. Oxygen will be a lootable resource much like ammo. Probably the most intriging part is you will get to play as one of four goons working for Handsom Jack. The cyborg Wilhelm who is a boss in Borderlands 2, The cyber ninja from the General Knox dlc from Borderlands 1, Fragtrap which aparently a military grade claptrap unit, and a mysterious "Lawdealer" class who some think may be the Sheriff of Lynchwood aka Handsom Jacks girlfriend. I honestly have my doubts about this being legit at this point. Gearbox loves to play with our heads and last interveiw with Pitchford, he said any Borderlands sequel would be next gen and they are not in a hurry to do it, other irons in the fire and such. Just have to wait and see.
I went and saw the new Cap'n M'erca movie yesterday. I give it a B+ mostly just cause it was a bit longer that it had to be. Otherwise great cast, great action sequences, and plenty of Marvel fan service if you keep your eyes and ears sharp. Really excited to see how Guardians of the Galaxy is going to tie into the complex web Marvel is weaving.
So thats what I have been living and playing as of late. As always thanks for reading. And remember, videos games don't kill people, ninjas do.
