While often nothing the players do makes any sense at all within the contex of the gameworld, you can be sure they will fixate on any and all flaws in the thinking on the part of NPCs.

Wednesday Action Log 3-27-24

This week has been eventful.

I’ve played more Wind Waker and I believe I’m near the end of the game; I’ve gotten almost all of the heart pieces and treasure charts. I probably would have finished by now but my cat is a menace and I got to learn that my GPU wasn’t aquatic. I hope that my new graphics card is waterproof and that no other parts of my computer becomes SpongeBob’s new neighbor.

On a better note I also played Teardown, I’m absolutely delighted with it, I thought I would get bored with the puzzles, but just about the time I’m getting sick of one mission type it changes things up with a new location or goal, it was also surprisingly fun realizing that instead of going around everything you can just remove it with anything from your sledgehammer to just a chunk of a wall. Also the game is beautiful, the lighting is great and it’s extremely fun to watch objects made of voxels crumble.

SWTOR: Rix’larril’an of the Ascendancy 2.04 – Crazy Train

Brengle says we will have to override the security for the MOST-top-secret-labratory at three different consoles that have the proper clearance. The first is in the busy warehouse we passed a few minutes ago, the second is at the heavily-guarded power station next to the warehouse, and the third is at a lookout station next to the power station. Disabling those systems will give us access to a building in the first courtyard next to the goal of our search for Duchess Sarnova’s missing men.

DM of the Rings Remastered LXIV: A Shocking Revelation

In the comments of the previous strip, I said, “In hindsight, the ideal thing would have been to cast Aragorn as a dumb, distracted stoner. He spends about half of the movie blinking very, very slowly. I can come up with a shot of him looking baked or mouth-open stoopid in just about any scene. I should make a “I am so high” montage out of all these shots.

The amount of screen time he spends in a vacant stare or a prolonged blink is sort of alarming. I’ve come to think of him as Stareagorn.

This week I’m emulating Wind Waker. This is my first time playing it, and I can see why it’s a lot of people’s favorite, it has a lot of quality of life improvements compared to Ocarina along with the combat feeling a lot smoother, Ocarina is probably still my favorite but I think that’s mostly just the nostalgia talking.

What are you guys playing?
