Gamer's diary 2

12.11.2021


I bought a new game yesterday. But I'll get to that later. Because I also played a game I haven't played in years. Or at least it feels like it. And that happened the day BEFORE yesterday. The game is DMC4 special edition. The one where you can play as Vergil. He is my favorite character and the only reason I got the special edition considering I had a perfectly normal and working copy of the original DMC4. But well, Vergil. Can't be without a Vergil mode. So yeah, I played that the day before yesterday and apart from Vergil, I also played a little as Lady. However, when I was playing as Verge, let me tell you, it took me way too long to figure out the "hook-shot" blue floating lights. Mostly because I forgot that you have to actually target them. In the end, it's relatively easy, but just figuring it out took an excessive amount of time. I had to look it up. Well, look at a video and see the targeting circle in order to remember how to do it. Still, worth it.

Gamer's Diary

 


Today I have finished the fourth episode of Wintermute in the Long Dark game. I finally managed to make my way back through the stupid steam tunnels. And then I entered the power plant again and there was this lengthy ending cutscene. And that was it. Well, there was a secondary cutscene that told us a little bit of what has been going on with the female protagonist while we have been in prison. And I think it also kinda sets the stage for the fifth episode. The fifth episode is supposed to be the last one. But so far, I have no idea as to when it is supposed to come out. I'm still looking forward to it though. I really wanna know what the heck is going on there.

Resident Evil 4 HD


 I'm playing too much Resident Evil 4. I got myself the HD version from steam after finding out that my old version was not working correctly. It was a bummer, I liked that one. It had everything unlocked and all. So, bummer. And I didn't even remember how to unlock half the things. I knew how to unlock the typewriter gun and also how to unlock the plaga weapon. I'm not gonna be unlocking that one again. I only used it like once or twice. I don't like it. But I absolutely had to have the handcannon. And well… Unlocking that is quite the pain in the ass. My ass specifically. I hated having to unlock it again. Because let's face it, getting that 60k score on all characters on all of the maps in the mercenaries is pretty hard. I mean, not that hard with Wesker and Ada. And well… Hunk somehow managed too. But Leon and Krauser were a pain on the last map. Horrible! Let me tell you! At least I knew that you can only get two of the giant chainsaw men. Thank god for small miracles… 

But hey, I have it all. Well, sans the plaga weapon. I didn't bother with that. But at least I have also unlocked the special 2 costume. I need that, I need invincible Ashley. That way, I don't have to bother protecting her. She's quite safe in that armor.

Paul Teague: The Grid Trilogy


I have read this before. And now I am reading it again. Because it is really good and the only downside to this is that it does not have an audiobook version. I have looked everywhere but it simply does not exist. Too bad. So I am reading it while traveling to and from work. It is slow going but I just really love the books. It is dystopian/utopian and that is just the genre I love. It also has a version of virtual reality projection and that is another thing I love. I love almost anything that has to do with virtual reality. Not everything, but a lot of the stuff. 

Honestly, these books practically read themselves. I am already on book three, about half-way through. And I just know I will be reading it again at some point. The only downside is that I haven't found any fanfiction on this. Because, like always, I have a problem with the pairings. Well, not much, but the main male, I'd pair him up with this guy, called Clay. I just think they would go so well together. But alas, nothing.
