It appears that I'm not the only one to make the connection between Batman: Arkham Asylum's oversized moon and Majora's Mask. Someone took the time to make a mod for it!
Some more incredible games on my playlist today. A little retro gaming and a little virtual reality! Though Resident Evil in VR still scares the PANTS Off me.
I take some small credit for the naming of No Man's Sky's latest expedition, Adrift.
When I was still active in the No Man's Sky community I referred to the pre-Foundation version of the game as Adrift, because it preceded the shift to settler/colonist gameplay that Foundation introduced.
The expeditions in No Man's Sky were the real answer to the community requests for a more dynamic universe, in my opinion.
A compromise between those wanting a universe that changed according to underlying simulation, a difficult task, and those wanting continuations of the game's light storytelling but with more unique missions.
I think it clearly worked for enough people, but it wasn't for me. Too live service, too MMO-esque.
Castle of Illusion was mad but so much fun. I remember being in hospital for an extended period back in the early 90s, and this (and Ecco the Dolphin) really helped me through! One for the Retro Gaming fans here.
Let's all comment below with what our day has in store for us today or what we've already gotten done today.
For me, I only have 5 hours left of work for the day with a meeting from 2 - 3pm and then I'm done for an entire week as I'll be heading to Myrtle Beach, SC for vacation with the wife and the family!
Just some video games throughout the day and evening tonight!
Morning Folks! Last night I waded into the scary world of the Group Finder tool in #WorldOfWarcraft#PandariaRemix and found it to be a mixed bag. The first three normal raids were super smooth and I knocked them out in rapid succession. Then I spent the next hour failing to get into either a Throne of Thunder or Siege of Orgrimmar raid.
Started playing Batman: Arkham Asylum recently. I last played the game in 2015, and I've never played any of the sequels, so I figured I'd go back and give the original a go before continuing the series.
So far, it's held up pretty well! I'm not too great at the combat, but it's fun enough. Love the sort of Metroidvania style of the game—although maybe it's closer to The Legend of Zelda, with the different buildings acting as dungeons.
In other news, I gotta admit that I didn't think I'd like the new Rainbow Six Siege subscription Ubisoft announced.
Sure it's not a 100% cool and I am not the biggest fan of subscriptions..
BUT it's actually a worthy successor to the year pass I've missed so much, this year.
Plus it's actually worth the money, if you know you'll buy the battle passes, anyway.
At least if you pay the reduced price per year.
My kid has been unwell for 2 years (Long Covid), & watching her dealing with so many ups and downs & pacing herself whilst still learning & creating has been so impressive. She's doing well as a beekeeper, and now she's working with a friend to make Fortnite creative maps.
If you or your kids play Fortnite (the game is rated age 10 and up), search 'Slime Tycoon' for the most chill, fun, and wholesome gameplay experience.
This could and should have been a great moment in League history.
Instead Riot decided to monetize the shit out of it.
I ain't paying over 400 € for a bundle that shouldn't have been more than a hundred bucks.
This is insanity.
