Worst of the worst

Nope, I haven't really had much time for gaming these last few weeks. I did manage to play through the main campaign in Postal Redux though, and I am going to make a review on it as soon as I play the "extra" levels as well. I actually didn't think it was going to be that short, but I guess it suits me well since I have a tendency to drop out on games around 20-30 hours or so. I played on medium difficulty the first time, that took me maybe two hours, but I'm currently doing a re-run on hard difficulty. It's actually nice to play a short game for once, and it was pretty fun as well. Yeah, I promise the review will be up really soon.

Today I played some WoW as well, after a little break. Did some world quests, blacksmithing quests and also a dungeon so I could get itlvl 840 boots from there. It was also the perfect opportunity to try out my new gaming mouse, which arrived in the mail today. My World of Warcraft gaming mouse(that I have used for the past 4 years)has been pretty broken for some time now, the left mouse button being worn out and the scroll wheel not working properly. I have tried to fix it a few times by taking the mouse apart, but at this point small adjustments doesn't work anymore. I'm a little bit sad since it has been a great mouse, but so far I like this new one a lot. It's a cheap Chinese thing that I got off ebay, a Luom G5. Let's see how it performs in different games, I have only tried WoW so far.

Time to go to bed, there's a million dumb things to do tomorrow and so little time.

Ravioli!

It's a new year again, and it really started with a bang. Now my Christmas holiday is coming to an end, and I have mixed feelings about going back to school. I'm just afraid it's going to be extremely heavy again. It also means I have to reduce my gametime to almost zero again, it has been so awesome to be able to play during the holidays. I have played WoW quite a lot, still trying to finish those goddamn Suramar questlines. Today I also did the Diablo 20th anniversary event, which involved Treasure Goblins and The Cow King. I did some quests with my warlock too, but I really have to say that it's not going to be too easy to level him, he is extremely squishy at the moment...

Besides that I have played a lot of Wolfenstein: The New Order. I guess I haven't even gotten half-way through yet, but it seems pretty okay so far. Since this is not really a type of game that I normally play, it can feel a little bit frustrating at times, but still very enjoyable. I am only playing at medium difficulty and have already died a million times, but still I do not want to stop playing. Guess it is a good game then. The story is of course very intriguing, you know the nazi stuff and everything. I really hope I have time to play all the way through, so I can make a review later.

So to sum it all up, it has been a great holiday, and now I'm starting to feel anxious about school on Monday. Meh, good times won't last forever. I just hope I'll survive next week without too many breakdowns.

Candy canes

It's Christmas once again and I'm up late in the night as usual. My holiday started a bit messy, since I had to temporarily move out of the house where I have been living since late summer. My computer is currently not availiable, so I'm writing this from my laptop. If everything goes as planned, I will be able to use my "real" computer again in a few days. I have been trying to play a bit of WoW on the laptop, but it's a real pain in the ass. I'm happy if I can manage to complete a few quests before it seriously starts overheating. I actually managed to play a lot of Duke Nukem 3D on Thursday, so I'm happy about that at least. I completed the first episode and started on the second one. Not sure if I play it all the way through this holiday, but there's a chance at least.

This evening I have been playing solely Pokémon Crystal on emulator, and I leveled up my Pokémons quite a bit. Tomorrow I guess I'll mostly play WoW or maybe some Steam game. There are soooo many games in my Steam library that needs to be played, I'll maybe have time for one or two this holiday. I also bought two new games today... Not really what I should be doing right now, but they were really cheap and I just couldn't resist.

Yup, that's really all I wanted to say at the moment, and I'll just throw in some screenshot of my Pokémon Crystal game since I don't really have access to my picture collection right now. I'm also too tired to start cropping anything, so I'll just shamelessly market the emulator I'm using. But that doesn't really matter, because it is a totally fine emulator, and I don't really have anything bad to say about it.

Oh yeah btw, Merry fuckin' Christmas.
