The End of the Tempest
So the good news first!
Evening tempests are done (for now).
I am glad that the weather has decided to accommodate me at the moment and waits until I am home to let the heavens drain.
Saves me some time and patience not having to deal with cars.
Hard to listen to a book when it sounds like a storm of rain is trying to get your attention by making noise on the roof of the car.
In addition, we have listened all the way through Way of the Kings an epic journey it was.
a grand total of 40 hours were spent in Roshar. What a pity that it must end. :(
But fortunately I managed to lay my hands on Words of Radiance so I got another 47 hours to go.
Then the wait will begin for book 3 out of 10 to be released!
Now for the games!
It won’t be a long list of games as it has been the case in the last few months.
Completed the last few HOG games that I wasn’t able to boot up last month
Nightmares from the Deep 1,2 and 3. I enjoyed them a lot. I can safely place them at the top of all HOGs that I have played!
Then we noticed the monthly theme and figured that we might be able to join. Especially since the last long game was played ages ago.
So after contemplating I settled for some reason on Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin.
Having never played a “punishing” game before, I entered with some fears and a lot of hesitation which tormented me for the first few hours.
But slowly confidence grew and so I settled in. “These nightmarish games can be felled, they can be beaten!”
These games are not that hard. It only has one rule really “Don’t get hit!”
The month continued and went on to Little Inferno. The game does an amazing job at driving its point home after playing and being entertained burning things.
It saved it right up the very end when you are not expecting it and BOOM! They hit you hard with their message.
Nekopara was sort of an experiment over the past 2 months but finished Vol 2 and am pretty glad that it ended. Although it is entertaining for certain moments. It is one of those things where too much is not a good thing!
EXTRA
This month we are going for a slightly different challenge.
The thought of being an athlete has settled in and so I am going to fire up all idle cylinders again and get this fitness going.
5 days a week of workouts and will be watching what enters the great fiery pit too.
Let’s see if I can eliminate a two inches.
A bench will be the reward if I can get it done!
That is a really nice view! When I’m on the balcony I look straight onto neighbours roof (though the side is to the garden :) ).
Congrats on finishing the book - and thank the heavens for waiting with the rain a bit :]
And I’m absolutely rooting for you and your fitness challenge! Should also do something like that, but…. no………….
What exactly do you mean as “a bench” for a reward? Like a sitting bench? For the garden or house or…. a training bench? Or…. I dunno O.o
All the best for next month!
Happy workout killing :)
Aha, yea a training bench minus the fit strong guy ofc.
Have wanted one for ages now.
I have two main hobbies one is gaming and the other is workouts (strength or cardio)
Gaming has become the easy choice in the last few months cuz it is easy, only have to sit on my bum.
Sure I cant convince you…? short time investment great health returns! :)
I would totally buy it with the strong guy. ‘cause you have to do less if he occupies it :]
Sure you are a gamer? That’s sounds… contradictory :] :D
Uh, yeah, dunno. I could maybe hop a bit around with the Wii. Does that count? ;)
But I like sitting on my bum!
Also…. my cats make me run around the garden. Does THAT count? :D
Poor thing, you got a Wii, I am hoping you are going to tell me that you also own Ps4 and Xbox cuz otherwise that will be just too sad.
So now the question remains, why do you chase cats in the garden? In the house yes I can get that but the garden?
Are they trying to escape the clutches of their “bum proprietor”.
My mom’s cats have the habit of trying to catch the ball when there is football on tv. Always cute at first when I am there but turns into an annoyance when the first 5 minutes have rolled by!
My life is sad. I only have a Wii. But! I have a PC! Gosh, THAT one came as a surprise! O.O
Uhm, so one of them tries to inspect the world outside of the garden - we don’t want that, so I kinda try to keep him away from the fence aka chasing around the garden :D
Aw, that’s cute - and suuuuper annoying!
Ameno just places himself in front of the tv (on the floor, not literally in front) and pretends to watch a bit, then he normally starts grooming (right word?) himself. Pretend = because he always pretends things. Like he pretends to be an innocent, nice cat. He isn’t. :D
Three words for you Reverse Overhang Fence.
Imagine a small 45 degree angled roof/fence on top of your fence. Cats can’t manage to get out even with their awesome abilities.
A simple trick to keep cats inside, google it and your bum will have more time staying seated!
Ha sad! Look at me, day 2 of my fitness challenge and … I ended up in the hospital - Now you see that is something only I can do! :)
So … yeah let’s keep the embarrassing stories to a minimum here
My zest hasn’t dampened yet however we will have to revise some parts of the challenge!
I know, I know. But that makes only sense with Fences that are higher then trees and all that around. And even more so with a fence, cats can’t go through, right? :D
Oh no! That’s sounds… uncomfortable. Hope you’re soon better! :)
Ok, I wont ask :)
Uhm… well… uhm… walking around in the garden maybe? :] :D
Such a nice view <3
Nice completions (well and nekopara) and good luck with your fitness goals! I hope we’ll still you around though :3
Hey, it’s not too bad after the first day.
I was expecting the legs to complain and revolt after doing Plyo.
Just hopefully and the end of the month you will see “less” of me!
When I first glanced at the update, I thought that was a screenshot and I was thinking, “Wow, what game is that?! Looks amazing!”
Good luck with the fitness regimen!
Good thing that it isn’t a screenshot.
Would have been hard to get out of the game then.
I remember how addictive the Witcher 3 was because of its graphics.
Just standing there seeing the fields of grass move or the trees during a storm. chills
