Cannibals?!

So I haven't really sat that much by the computer these last few weeks, but I actually have played console for once. We got to borrow my brothers Wii U and Mario Kart 8, and I really have to say it's a fun game. It was ages ago since I played any Mario Kart game, and this one didn't let me down. Nintendo still knows how to make cute, fun and addictive games, while not making it too easy or "childish". I do get a bit aggravated if I lose, I'll admit that, but it's not like chairs fly or anything like that. Just a few curse words, that's it. Well, we had to give the console back on Friday, and I'm kind of missing that game... I have Mario Kart Wii lying around here though, so I just need a Wii console and then I'll be back in the circuit.

I didn't have work tonight, so I played some WoW, just fooling around with the DK again. I can happily announce that I got my first random legendary drop today, Lana'thel's Lament. So things are moving forward a little bit, I'm also very close to get my factions to revered, just need to do some more Wardens quests. I also had time to play some Overwatch, although I have to say the queues can be a little bit long at this time in the morning. Oh well, that's expected, I guess. Anyways, I really have to go to bed now, got a full schedule tomorrow. Laters.

In Utero

Summer is finally here for real, but I have still actually had time for a little bit of gaming. Continuing with the rep grinding in WoW, I think I only have two factions left to get revered with before I get the achievement. Then I think I'll just continue with the Broken Shore quests, and of course try to level up my warlock. I have also played some more Fallout 4, doing all kinds of side quests and generally just fooling around. I was thinking about getting the DLCs also, kind of forgot they even got released.

I started playing Metro 2033 a few days ago, just because I felt like trying on something new. I'm barely a few hours in, but I already feel like it's going to be an awesome ride. I have wanted to play the Metro games for quite a while now, but I have been a little too scared. However, with time I have gotten more "used" to these kinds of games, so I think I'll manage. Since it also has a post-apocalyptic theme, I have continuously been comparing it with Fallout. This game seems to be a lot more story-driven, and since I played a lot of Wolfenstein this spring, I could almost say it's a pleasant hybrid between that game and the Fallout series. Going to continue the campaign and see if the good vibes persist. If I, against all odds, actually complete the game at some point, I also have Last Light waiting for me.

Now I need to go out in the sunshine and do things. Very depressing, indeed. I don't have work tonight though, so maybe I'll stay up and play all night..?

Use your imagination

There's been a lot going on the last few weeks, so there hasn't been much time for gaming again. I have managed to accomplish some things though, for example I completed the Nexus Challenge in Heroes of the Storm a few days ago, and got a bunch of nice stuff(mostly skins)from the loot boxes. I also got 10 loot boxes for Overwatch, but I haven't logged in yet and opened them. Yesterday I started my Fallout 4 again, and actually completed the final quest this time. Yeah, it's been over a year since I played last time, so I'm happy I actually took the time to finish this one. Now I can fool around with side quests and such, or maybe start a whole new game, let's see.

On another note, my new computer is up and running now..! I had a slight panic attack when I built it though, since it didn't power on at all when I first tried. I was sure that the mobo had been damaged somehow, or the power supply was toast(I took it from my old computer), but it only turned out to be a faulty power button. The case is brand new, so I didn't really expect it, of course. Anyway, I'll probably contact the store that sold it to me soon, but until then I'll have to power on the computer with a screwdriver. Very handy, indeed. When I get everything working properly I'll probably put up a pic or two.

Cya..!
