So, if there’s any saying out there that talks about plans only being as effective as the person executing said plans, it would apply to me this past week.

It’s not that I didn’t play any games. I did! Just… not as much as I would like, and not the game I intended to play, for the most part.

Out of the batch of six, I only played one game: Grim Dawn. For an hour. Yes, I know.

Starting over seems to have been a good idea, though.

I've already seen some things that were not present when I first played.

Though not all of the new things are... friendly.

There were a few times that I got turned around and doubled back on myself.

It was at this moment that I remembered that I was playing on Veteran Mode. It was also around the time that I decided that using a gun isn’t the most effective way to fight off everything trying to kill me.

As for what game was distracting me from all the others… it starts with over and ends with watch. I’ll give you three guesses and the first two don’t count.

Which brings me to my next point, I’m going back on one of the details I decided on before. I’m going to do mostly video clips with a few images, maybe one or two per game. I underestimated the effect of repeatedly hitting keyboard shortcuts would have on gameplay, and it would be a whole ‘nother story once I start in on a game that I play with a controller. Not to mention the fixed size of the images…. (Thanks to KroganAlly for pointing out an easy way to record. I didn’t realize that Windows 10 had that function built in.)

I think that covers everything that happened this week in terms of the backlog and gaming. Chances are, I won’t be doing anything tomorrow, with it being the 4th of July here in the United States. So, catch you later!

Edited because I forgot to name the game all those images are from.

Wait, Windows 10 has a built-in video capture? I didn’t know that.

Happy 4th of July!

Yep! After it was mentioned to me, I looked it up and found this page on it.

And thank you!

Which game is this? Love Diablo-like games! :)

…Oh my gosh, how did I forget to say which game the post was about!? facepalm
Anyway, the game is called Grim Dawn; it’s been on Steam as an Early Access game for a couple of years, and officially released earlier this year.
