Number One

This month has been kind of hectic, and I haven't really had time(AGAIN)for that much games... Last week was kind of filled with school work, and this one has been pretty bad too. Traditionally it has been this way though, since everything needs to be finished in time for Christmas. At least I'm kind of on board with the Christmas presents this year, feels nice to at least have something sorted out at the moment. We have finally had time to host our housewarming parties too, and all the cleaning and organizing is taking a toll. I have squeezed in a little WoW though, last week was the Burning Crusade timewalking where I did a lot of dungeons, was really fun for a change..! Got some decent gear from there as well, and was finally able to reach the item lvl requirement for LFR. So I have also tried out some raids, and I kind of like them so far. Now the world quest event is in progress, so I should really try to raise my rep with some factions.

Been playing Pokémon Crystal as well whenever I have been able to, and I recently left Ecruteak City after beating the gym leader there. I booted up Fallout Tactics yesterday too, since I accidentally got to school two hours early. It seems so far like an interesting game, but it's definitely not the easiest, and you really do need some tactics most of the time. I'm only on the third mission though, so I guess I'll learn eventually.

I'm in a hurry once again, so I guess I'll need to stop this here. I think the worst will be over in a few weeks time though, and I can maybe enjoy a semi-peaceful Christmas holiday for once, with a lot of games. You can always hope, right..?

The void

At the moment I'm in the middle of so many games, I don't even know where to begin. First of all, I have played WoW quite a lot lately, still just grinding rep and gear through world quests. I have also continued playing Pokémon Crystal, I think I'm at the 4th gym leader right now. Additionally, I installed Fallout Tactics on my school laptop last week. I thought about how much valuable gaming time I waste sitting on really unnecessary lectures, so why not use that time? My school laptop is not very high-tech, so I couldn't really start playing anything too recent, but I have been wanting to try out Tactics for a while now.

I have also had the opportunity of trying out a very hot game right now: Red Dead Redemption 2. I play it on Xbox, and I'm currently maybe 10 hours into the game. It's a very beautiful and well-made game, and you certainly get the feeling of what it actually was to live in that particular time and place. But of course there are some downsides too, for example the horribly long loading times. I also get the feeling that 80% of my current game time has been spent solely on riding around on my horse. Other than that I can say that the story and the characters are quite interesting, and the missions haven't been too bad either. This game might not be my personal favorite of the year, but I can certainly see why the majority of people would like it.

Oh yeah, my birthday passed this year as well, and I got some amazing presents :) A Pachimari plush from Overwatch, a new Fallout bobblehead, some nice perfume, a Pusheen coloring book and that Fallout board game I have been waiting for <3 And as a little extra gift, Destiny 2 became available for free on Battle.net..! So it certainly was an awesome birthday again, except for the fact that I also had to get older...
