Tutti-frutti

February went by extremely fast and now it's March already. A lot of stuff has happened in just a few months. First of all, I'm starting a new job on Monday, and I honestly don't know what to expect. I will probably have just as little free time as before, but hopefully I won't be as exhausted after each workday as I have been so far. I really can't tell yet, so we'll see I guess...

I have mostly been playing WoW again, getting closer to level 50 now. I am currently questing in Searing Gorge, but soon I have probably done all the quests there as well. I actually managed to make a video of my solo run in Shadowfang Keep, and it is already uploaded on the channel. I thought I really needed to make a WoW-related video, it has been far too long since last time. It also seems Blizzard is going to announce the next WoW-expansion on April 19th. Of course I'm excited, and I also hope I could have time to go back to playing retail again. It just seems leveling to 70 in BCC has taken me an extremely long time(it has), but I wouldn't want to "give up" at this point anymore. I'm getting this priest to 70, and that's it. It's just soo slow, especially when I don't really have time for those really long gaming sessions anymore.

Oh well, it's not like I can do much about how things are at the moment, so I'll just try to roll along and not go completely insane. The situation in the world right now(Slava Ukraini!)makes everything heavier, and it raises a lot of questions and uncertainty. Anyway, this day is full of stuff to do again, so gotta go now, cya laterz.

Massive headtrauma

I noticed it has been almost 6 years since I uploaded my playthrough of Starshine Legacy episode 1, so that inspired me to finally pick up the second episode. These games are not very long, so even though I died a bunch of times during jumping sequences, I finished the game in just a few hours. I made a video of the playthrough that is available on my Youtube-page. So, let's see how long it takes before I play the other games in the series. These first two I actually have as physical copies, but the other ones I would need to find somewhere else.

I have also continued on Yakuza 0, at the moment I'm about 40 hours in. There has been so many plot twists that I can barely keep up, but otherwise the game has been moving steadily forward. I haven't checked how many chapters there are in this game, so I have no idea if I'm even close to the end or what is going on. I guess I'll leave it as a surprise.

I have managed to play a bit of WoW as well, doing some more leveling. Currently I'm questing in Badlands, which is quite interesting since I can't really remember doing any quests there before. One negative thing though is the lack of flight points, there isn't a single one in this zone. I don't have a mount yet, so there has been a lot of walking... Anyway, I have to go now, so much to do this evening and so little time.

The New Adventures

I finished my review on Jazzpunk, and it is already published here on the blog. A very funny, but also a very short game. I tried to find out if there will ever be a sequel to this magnificent game, but unfortunately it doesn't look like that. I hope we could get something similar though.

After Jazzpunk I immediately picked up Yakuza 0, that I talked about a few months ago. If I complained about the shortness of Jazzpunk earlier, it now seems like Yakuza 0 on the other hand is a very long game. Just to be clear, this is the first time I play a Yakuza game, so I really have no idea what to expect. So far I have noticed that you actually play as two different characters, Kiryu and Majima, and alternate between their two different story lines. I have never been particularly good at fighting games like these, but luckily there are difficulty levels to choose from, so I might just make it through after all. So far the story lines have been interesting, although I did not know there would be so much dialogue in these games. I am pretty sure that at least half of my game time so far has been just that.

I'm going to keep it short today, full schedule as usual. Tomorrow is also the last day of the year. Byebye 2021, I can't say I will be missing you too much.
