Hey everyone! Long time listener, first time poster. From now on I will post (or at least try to) my progress every week. My posts will include a section about daily objectives from The After Party, a co-op oriented group consisting SG veterans mostly. Feel free to join us in chat or on game nights!

Here’s what I’ve been up to this week:

• Killing Floor 2: This weekend is double XP weekend. Now’s the time to grind some XP for those perks you barely / never choose, so that’s what I’m doing. I’m usually joining servers for perk farming to level up. It may not be morally right, but I’m too shit to level up through regular survival.

• Age of Empires 2: Been playing with friends over at The After Party for a few nights. Opportunity to get my online games / wins count up. This game will probably take years to get 100% cheeves but slow and steady wins the race.

• Path of Exile: Started playing PoE with the beginning of the new Essence league. For those who never played PoE, essence leagues (from what I gather) are separate worlds that enhance gameplay through the addition of essences, which improve your gear when used on, and essence mobs, powerful creatures that drop them. For a free to play game it’s quite well done. I’ve moved up to Cruel with my Lv.53 Deadeye, and am planning to finish the game on Merciless with at least one character. I will stay away from Hardcore (permadeath) leagues though, so no 100% cheeves in this one.

• 100% Orange Juice: Attempted to move further in single player campaign, but this game’s RNG and bots focusing you makes it more frustrating than fun. Been able to complete 2nd level after an hour though.

• FORCED: Worked on some challenges and time trials to get my crystals up to 40 (read below), but I’ll probably stop after beating the last boss as I have neither the patience nor the energy to complete all challenges and time trials.

Here’s last week’s boosted co-op objectives:

Date	Game	Objective	Result
Sep 10	Lethal League	Hardcore P0ng - Play a best of five set of games with a TAP member	Completed: Won 3-2.
Sep 11	Sol Survivor	Survivor Beginner - Last 15 minutes in survival (any map)	Completed: Got to 32 mins in a three player group before I had to leave for a bit. After 20 and 70 minutes, the difficulty of survival increases dramatically, and my partners couldn’t fend off the creeps without me, but we all got the objective.
Sep 12	100% Orange Juice	Co-opo Poppo! - Complete a game	Completed: Played in a three player group. Lost the game.
Sep 13	Lunar Flight	The Lonely Man On The Moon - Help Monukai earn a co-op or competitive achievement	Failed: Couldn’t play as I was away from home on Sep 13.
Sep 14	Hero Academy	Heroes Must Die! - Complete a game of Hero Academy	Failed: No one wanted to play. :(
Sep 15	FORCED	Forced Finished - Starting with sector four, finish the game	Failed: Started and finished sector four, then realized to fight the last boss you need to have 40 crystals. We both had 28 crystals after fighting the 4th boss, so we couldn’t complete this objective.
Sep 16	D.I.P.R.I.P. Warm Up	Just Warming Up - Play for an hour (rounded up)	Failed: In case you didn’t know, this game is a vehicle-based multiplayer combat mod for Half-Life 2. Maybe it was popular at the time, but the community is pretty much dead atm. There are no bots in the game either, so couldn’t play it.
