Shaken, and also stirred

Soon it's New Years Eve, and yet another year begins. I have had time for a bit of gaming this week, mostly just continuing on Psychonauts, and more WoW. I also had a little Overwatch spree, and leveled up to 100. I am pretty confident by now that I will be able to make that Psychonauts review before the Christmas holiday is finished, if I don't encounter some impossible level or something. It doesn't seem to be a too long game, I'm already about half-way through. I have a little bit of work to do today, but after that I'll probably continue again.

Yesterday we finally tried out that Fallout board game that I got for my birthday. Just like any other mildly complicated board game, this one took a few hours to actually set up and understand so well that we could begin playing. The game certainly seems interesting, but there are a loooot of different things to remember. Just like in the video game you fight enemies, complete quests, loot stuff and explore areas. There is a XP system, companions, perks, armor, weapons and a lot of other things that make the game very diverse. The goal of the game is to collect enough influence to win, and the amount depends on how many people are playing. You can also solo this game, which seems interesting, and I'll probably try it myself later. Anyway, we are not ready with our first play yet, since it got so late last night that we had to go to bed in the middle of it. But I guess we continue tonight, and after that I can probably tell more accurately if this is actually a good game or not.

Now I need to go and do stuff, never a Christmas holiday without some work. After that I hope I can sit down again and play for a while. I thought I'd throw in a little Christmas picture of my DK, who was very pleased again with this years opening of presents in Orgrimmar. I do hope you also notice the appropriate Christmas hat and sweater :)

White Powder

One day left until Christmas Eve, and I haven't even felt super stressed out yet. I had a minor problem with one of the Christmas presents, but that's about it. I have already wrapped most of them, and that part seems generally to be in order. This is going to be a little different Christmas Eve, but that's fine, because I still get to spend it with everyone I love. We are actually going to be hosts in our own house this time around, so I'll need to do so much cleaning around here... We also have a Christmas tree this year, and the kitties haven't even destroyed it completely yet, so everything seems fine so far.

I have had time for some WoW, and the new patch Tides of Vengeance was released just last week. Most interesting for me is probably the new storyline, the Incursions, and the new Island Expeditions maps. There will also be a new raid opened on January 22nd, so I have time to improve my itemlvl until then. I have so far tried out all the available raid content at least once, but I do need to run them more often now to get better gear. Otherwise I have just been continuing to grind that
reputation, I am currently honored with all the factions, but it's a looong way to go still before I get them all to revered...

I also started playing an older game this week, in hopes of getting through it this Christmas holiday. It's Psychonauts, and I have actually played quite a bit of it many years ago. I remember putting it down in the middle of it because the game bugged out somehow and I couldn't finish the level I was in. Let's hope everything goes well this time, it's a really cool game. I'm playing it on PC with my controller attached, and I think that is a way better option than last time when I only used keyboard and mouse. Let's hope I have time to finish it and pump out a review before the holiday ends, that would be great. Until then, Merry Christmas and so on..!
