Impossible

This winter has just floated by in a haze, and I don't really know what I have been doing. Mostly just working of course, otherwise I have been so tired that sitting on the sofa watching TV has felt like the most I can accomplish. Now we are slowly getting towards summer, and the days become a little less heavy for the most of it. I have mostly been too tired for booting up any games, but I have tried here and there. I have been playing WoW maybe a few times a week, just doing world quests and dailies with my DK. I also kind of started leveling my warlock towards 60, but I haven't gotten very far yet.

A few weeks ago I played this funny older puzzle game called Bust-a-Move 4. It features Bub the dragon from Bubble Bobble, as well as a range of other characters. The puzzles are of the type where you shoot colored balls at each other to make them pop. I have played similar games like this before, but I must say I really like the style and playability of Bust-a-Move. If I start playing it, I am sure to get hooked for at least a few hours. I'll make sure there is a review up of this at some point.

I also ordered a few games for my Gamecube, just to expand the library a little bit. I got Shrek 2 and Dark Summit. The latter is a type of snowboarding game, which I haven't tried out yet, but it seemed interesting from watching some videos. I tried out Shrek 2 with my SO the other day, and it seemed pretty fun. You can play it with 1-4 people, but I imagine playing with 4 people would just be a hilarious mess. With two people it seems manageable though, and you play as Shrek and his friends solving puzzles and fighting enemies together. Not a bad buy, if I say so myself. Now I am going to continue on some new content for the blog, cya later!

Flashing lights

Christmas 2020 just went by, and now we have the promising(?)year of 2021. The week leading up to Christmas Eve was really painful though, due to a massive amount of work, but I survived somehow. I got many nice gifts, and one of them was actually a new monitor for my PC. This one is bigger than the old one, and has a slight curve. I also got a drawing tablet, which I have been secretly wanting for many years now. I used to draw a lot before, when I had more spare time, but maybe I can pick up this hobby again at some point.

In WoW I have continued leveling of course, I'm currently level 58. I'm exploring the last "new" zone, Revendreth. The quests have been interesting so far, and I like how the story has developed through each of the zones. I have tried out a few dungeons as well, nothing bad to say about them. I have to say the leveling has felt a little bit too fast though, you gain a lot more experience from quests and dungeons than in previous expansions.

After Christmas I decided to pick up a new game, this time it was indie platformer Celeste. I had read a lot of reviews beforehand, so I thought I knew what to expect. A lot of people described it as "challenging", but I have to say the last levels were REALLY damn difficult. Don't get me wrong, it is a really smooth and well-made platformer, but the difficulty level is insane towards the end. Then again I'm a more casual player, so I imagine really hardcore platforming nerds find the difficulty quite suitable. Overall a good game, I will try to post a review as soon as I can. I made a little video though, which is already uploaded on Youtube. Now I'm going to continue with the WoW leveling, cya later!

Ever since day one

Shadowlands is now live and well, and I have had a little free time to start out my leveling. So far I have only been doing quests. I made it out of The Maw, made a quick stop at Oribos, and then off to Bastion. I'll have to try out some dungeons soon, but for now I'm just getting a hang of the story. I can't really say anything bad about it yet, the quests have been interesting and I like the look of the zones.

I don't really have much to say right now, I have been too busy with Christmas organizing to really have time for a lot of gaming. But soon I'll be done with most of the gifts and decorations, and then I'll try to relax and have time for WoW and other games. It sure is going to be a different Christmas this year with the pandemic and all, but we'll just have to make the best of it. Now I'll have to go, I'll make a longer post next time.
