Downpour month
This month was downpour month, I spent a lot time in my car struggling to get through traffic on my way to and from work.
When it rains in Bangkok, it really rains and traffic suffers from it.
Luckily I have my audiobooks with me to prevent me from going completely bonkers in the car.
The way of Kings is my savior now and quite suitable too when there are “high storms” going on at the same time when I am stuck in one!
Do you hear that sound? That’s the sound of the world when it pisses itself!
Little pic to show the storm that is brewing!
Now the main event!
Games played!
Alan Wake, now wow that was some great storytelling right there. everything that happened in-game was to further the plot nothing seemed wasted and pacing was perfect.
Some complain about the combat being too much and detracted from the story however I enjoyed the Resident Evil 4 style combat!
American Nightmare was more or less a bit of a let down. so stopped that after about an hour or so.
IS Defense is pewpew game of the month. A bit average in the beginning but omg does this game becomes brilliant when you mute the game sounds and play some AC/DC
9 clues series were my favorite HOGs of the month. It was an enjoyable ride from beginning to end. The game always made sense where to click and didnt try to become pretentious by hiding stuff in tricky ways. Grim Legends 3 was my least favorite game, maybe it was the story that didnt grab me that much or just the fact that it tried to be too clever from time to time.
One Night Stand which was gifted by someone was an amazing experience! A short ride but one that makes you think about how different certain situation could play out if just nudged gently in a different direction.
Sunless sea is a special game… it is completely boring in a way but it does always seem to attract you back in to play a bit more! Not yet done with this one!
Wanted to experience some of the NEKO games as I have seen lots of other people talk about it. turned out to be pretty average, entertaining when you are looking for some stupid fun but it does get old near the end. Also Over the Void is worth playing cuz of the 3d environment and bright colors too bad it is so short! Also Also gave up on playing Drakensang after getting annoyed by the we have special combat and DD rules but we are not telling you about them or show you any examples so said fuck it then in the end.
Had a lot of potential though.
Plague inc. is interesting at first but gets stale real fast! cant imagine what other players went through when they played for free on their mobile device.
I hope you are happy, I did it all for you
Wow, which game is that screenshot from? Looks so realistic! ;D
GTA VIII. I am from the future but hush that information.
Ohh, I see :D Thanks for the info, time traveler! :D
Can’t wait to play it – thank you for the heads-up on that one! :D
You are driving in the wrong direction, the other one is way emptier :P
Happy backlog killing :)
Congrats on the huge progress! And good luck with the downpour traffic jams >_< Intense rain while driving is always so bad.
oooooh!
I’m glad you liked it! Both of them!
Also it’s a bit weird that we have the same name
Also also, don’t steal my also!
I agree about Sunless Sea, it felt very slow paced, almost to the point of boring when you were doing long distances with little happening, but there was just enough about it to make me want to do that journey…
I noticed you played Memoria but didn’t mention it, I was just wondering if you knew it was a sequel of the game The Chains of Satinav? I’ve been meaning to play the two of them together, how did you find it anyway? :)
Not enough energy to mention all of them.
I found it to be an interesting story, the characters are interesting especially the staff but the story isn’t gripping. ( not bad either)
I didn’t know at first that it was a sequel however after searching the net a bit for a guide ( I always play these games with one) I learnt about it.
From what I remember is that the characters are different in both stories.
Edit: apparently the main characters are the same!
Main characters are the same, you pretty much continue where you left in the first game but with a different story.
Ah fair enough! I bought a couple more from Daedalic Entertainment in the sale so I should probably have a big playthrough of a few of them in the near future. It was useful to hear your thoughts about it :) Thanks!
YES I’m sorry I’m stalking your updates now but The way of kings is one of my favorite novels I love all of brandon sandersons books.
It’s okay :D
Just finished the second book (Words of Radiance) and can’t wait until I get my hands on Oathbringer which will be released next month or so. Although I will have to wait for the audiobook.
Brandon has a way to produce some of my favorite characters ever in books.
Kaladin loved how he is trying to find himself
Shallan Davar had a slow start but quickly became one of my favorites, especially with her arc.
Dalinar Kholin, just love him!
Have read/listened to several other books from Sanderson too, (mistborn series)
Which had another really great character in it ( Kelsier)
Ps, I must admit I hate reading books but I love audiobooks
Great for the commute to work and back and those readers really can give extra personality to the characters in ways I probably couldn’t… :)
Buy Neko vol.3 !
