I played more Sleeping Dogs Def. Edition yesterday (the framerate problem seems to have gone away). Weirdest thing though, yesterday I was experiencing some motion sickness, while last weekend there was absolutely none.
big boardgame sesh tomorrow featuring PanLeg Season 2, Empire of the Void 2, Inis and possibly others then SUPER BOWL

After playing 3 scenarios from the campaign of Battlecry 3 I decided I’d had enough for now and finally started playing Baldur’s Gate Enhanced Edition. I’ve been planning on playing BGEE for at least a couple years. I played the original when it came out, but it has been so long I wanted to see if I would still think as highly of it now as I did then.
It’s funny, but I don’t remember the intro at all. Well, I remember that I needed to prepare to leave town because of unknown reasons, but I would have sworn it started off in a small town with a festival going on. I thought there were various games, including to brothers I’d need to beat in some feat of strength or sparring match. I also thought there was some type of cow contest. I wonder what game I’m thinking of?
Hahhahahahaahahaha reported.
The Protector Mod has it’s own interesting campaign, in addition to playing the original one.

Thanks, but I think I’ve had my fill of Battlecry for now. It’s one of those games that isn’t bad, and back in the olden days I would have played longer because I’d only get a handful of games a year. Now though I couldn’t stop thinking that I’d rather play something else.
Yup, as @mrcjhicks said, that would be Neverwinter Nights 2.

Somehow I missed @mrcjhicks response, thanks! Yep it was Neverwinter Nights 2.
Speaking of “playing in the weekend”, turns out all I’ve played was Final Fantasy XII. I’m enjoying it way more than I thought I would. ;)

So I am easily over 100 hours into Fallout 4. I have now reached level 40 and have totally ignored the settlement building. So I figure I will follow the plot and try to find my son. And what is the game making me do but build something. I have no freaking idea how to do it. I tried for an hour last night to power up this device I am supposed to make without success. WTF game?
Can anyone tell me how to “wire up” the device to get into the Institution?

I’ve watched people play Final Fantasy XII. Please explain the allure. Seriously. It seems like an incredible grind.

Do you mean the teleporter thing you need to build? IIRC you need to talk to various faction NPCs. I think each major faction has someone who can help you build it. They will tell you what you need to do.
Ok. First, watching a game and playing a game are two incredibly different things.
Second, one man’s grind is another man’s fun, so keep that in mind.
As for your question… the game just sucked me in for some reason. Soundtrack is great, I’m liking the setup of the game, and the MMO-like combat is actually more engaging than I thought it would be. I want to see how the gameplay evolves as you unlock new skills and characters, how the enemies abilities change the flow of combat as the game progresses. I want to see where the story goes and what happens to the characters. I’m still early in the game (just made it out of the mines in the city in the sky), but I’m really enjoying it. I’m more engaged right now than I was in the first few hours of FF XIII or VI, for instance.
Now, that might change. It might happen that, a dozen or couple dozen hours in, the game loses its momentum and becomes a monumental grind that makes me just give up (looking at XIII right now). But at least so far, I’m in and loving it.
Hope to get lots of time in with Subnautica this weekend ahead.
Been so busy with work, my home PC hasn’t even been powered on since Saturday.

They only tell you three items needed, not how to actually wire the damn thing together. Over two days I have probably wasted 3 hours trying to wire the damn thing together. I have watched two videos and pasted one set of instructions. Apparently there is a precise way of doing it. Since I don’t have a science perk I am now grinding to get two levels so I can get the science perk so I can exactly, word for word, follow a set of instructions I found online. Based on the comments I am not the only person to have trouble with this.
I hope to get a bit of gaming in this weekend, but not a ton. For the blog, I plan to hit:
Plus, if I have time, for myself:
Which as me by the short and curlies right now, big time. Might also get some more time with:
As I’ve been having a blast exploring.
Should be a great weekend regardless.
