The New Year Continues!

JGray

Somehow, 2016 keeps going no matter how many times I write '2015' instead of '2016' when filling in the date on forms, checks, and other things I fill in dates on. I consider that rude.

So... I'm playing Fallout 4. I've restarted twice now. The third attempt at 'Tag' seems to be the one I like. Whenever I have a choice to name my character I always either pick the default (for example, my main character in Persona 4 Golden is always Yu Narukami) or I pick the name 'Tag Onist'. See what I did there? Add a 'pro' in front and you get...

... that's why I'm clever enough to write this webcomic.

Anyway, because Fallout 4 is much more a shooter than the previous versions, I'm having a tougher time of it. I always prefer intelligent, charismatic characters over super combat characters. Of course, I also pumped up my perception enough to get some good lockpicking in. And I raised my endurance enough to grab hold of the breathe underwater because I'm sure it will open up new areas and, hey, I can always go underwater as an escape route when the super mutants are charging after me, ready to eat my spleen.

I've only just now reached Diamond City. I'm going slow, taking my time and exploring because, hey! Just because I'm looking for my lost baby doesn't mean I can't get to know what's around me. I want to be sure I bring my kid back to a good home, right?

What games are you playing?

See you Thursday!

But they'll all die before we do, and then we win!

I'm STILL on Fallout 4. And while it's possible it is VERY hard to play a minmaxed charecter. The random spawns can catch ya in some bad spots. Just got killed because I Fast Traveled to the Super Duper Mart and got caught litterally between a Behemoth and that !^^$#*!^(*%^#**&^ing raider behind the billboard with a Fat Man (And by between I mean the area loads, the behemoth hits me half a second before the mini-nuke does. I HATE Lexington!) Razz

Hah! Yeah. I passed through Lexington on my way to the nearby factory for mission reasons. So, hey, why not explore I thought? I got to the Super Duper Mart and looked around a bit. Then there was a flashing light. Then another flashing light.

Fallout 4 includes some pretty interesting weather so I thought, maybe a storm's rolling in. Nope. That guy with his fat boy just kept reeling off one mini-nuke after another. Luckily, no where near me. I guess he was potshotting feral ghouls with a bunker buster or something.

I've been playing a bit of StarCraft and Hearthstone recently, and I'm really looking forward to XCOM 2. Smile

How is Hearthstone? I'm generally not fond of CCG video games but if there's actually a strong storyline I might be interested.

Hearthstone is OK but not great. It's relatively fast paced and the matches can be fun, but it can be a bit of a grind to get to the good cards if you're not willing to spend money on it (I have not paid anything). There is no story to speak of in the game, except for a few characters that appear and say a couple of lines when you're selecting matches in the expansions.

The "Tavern brawl" mode is the most fun in the game in my opinion. It changes every week, and more often than not you are given either random cards or a preconstructed deck, so it doesn't matter if you don't own the good cards yourself.

Skyrim, here. Finally got it on the Steam Winter Sale and it's been fun thus far.

JD	World of Warcraft. It's my addiction, because I can choose the content that doesn't overload my aspie mind like pretty much every shooter does. Plus it's constantly evolving... and gnomes rock. Oh, and sometimes tanks. WoT is just cool. Submitted January 13, 2016 at 9:56AM
