Gargant Hunting

Got some 40k armor/weapons mods, and I found out they are rather OP. (Makes sense fluff wise, but is a bit of a let down.) They not only add up to 100+ defence, but are made out of 6 gold for crafting and provide a speed boost. Haven't seen the weapons but I imagine they're in the same boat.

The sound track is the reason why I got out and fixed up my mom's old guitar. I want to learn how to play now because of LIS, will probably spend an hour or two on it this morning.

If you're enjoying the game, you might be happy to hear that the developers plan on doing a Life Is Strange season 2, but with new characters. They also want to do Remember Me 2.

Remember Me was the memory remix game, right? Neat idea, and the memory mechanics were good. But unrealized potential, imo, and the plot wasn't very good. It'll be interesting to see if they can do a better job the second time around.

As for Life Is Strange, I played through the first chapter, and decided to wait until the full game is released to pick it back up again.

I am in the middle of 3 right now and quit hinting I know bad things are going to happen. I already lost one person. It's not like this game will end in sunshine and rainbows.

A wise decision.

Alien: Isolation - not the best thing to play perhaps just before going to bed by walking down a dark corridor :-).....and loving how the Alien does appear to be unpredictable in it's movement - I 've had a number of deaths where I was moving through an area that had been safe on a previous load (prior to dying) - and it's genuinely scarey!

I think so. I think...

Spoiler:
That Max will have to rewind all the way back to Monday in Jefferson's class to undo the damage to the timeline she caused by saving Chloe's life.

In fact, I think she's stuck in an infinite time loop, endlessly repeating the events of the week, futilely trying to save Chloe, find Rachel and expose the Dark Room conspirators. But everytime she gets to Friday, Jefferson drugs her, which feths with her short term memory. She escapes the Dark Room and wanders up to the light house as the storm hits the town, but the drugs have wiped her memory of the last few days, which explains why in Episode 1 during her "vision" or "nightmare" of the storm she couldn't remember how she got there or what was happening.

It wasn't simply a vision of the future - she actually was there at the light house in person on Friday. Then she accidentally triggers her rewind and sends herself back to Monday with no memory of the week's events.

The only thing that will break the time loop is to let the timeline play out as it always should have: Chloe has to death at Nathan's hands. Chloe is the "bomb" that "turns Arcadia Bay to glass" (exposes the secrets). Her death in a high school bathroom is something that the Prescott's cannot possibly cover up. Nathan will be arrested and beyond the control of Jefferson and Nathan's father; and he'll be able to tell the Cops everything he knows.

The problem is that Max always loses her memory when she rewinds back to Monday. To break the cycle she needs to retain her memories somehow. I think she can do that by bringing back her completed Journal from Friday back to Monday (she retains objects on her person when she rewinds). Maybe Jefferson always takes it from her, so she cannot take it back to Monday and its always replaced by the incomplete Monday version.


This being a game in which "Your choices matter", I expect the player will have a choice in the end:

Let Chloe die to save Arcadia Bay.

Or sacrifice Max: Max intervenes directly. Nathan shoots her instead, and Chloe is saved at the expense of Max's life.


Oh, and In My Mind by Amanda Palmer is almost certainly going to be the song played over the credits. Seems fitting I think.

Spoiler:
I don't think it's the second time loop, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was no way out of the loop. I kind of think that because they say your choices matter that in the end you will have no choice. It seems like the whole game is about reinforcing that you don't actually have power. The final nail would be forcing your last choice.

Did more of Warsword Conquest, this time as chaos, and I have had some poor luck. Beast men swarm me by villages to get marauders, and trolls guard the border to the Empire. At least I've learned the best way to fight a troll is by rushing up in his face, since his swings are so slow. (Of course, his friends don't like this so they tend to smack you in the head from behind. )

Windows keeps spamming me with a little notification icon on my taskbar that pop ups up everytime I boot up, pestering me to "upgrade for free before its too late!"

No. Feth off.

I tried editing the icon settings to hide the icon and notifications but it seems when I reboot the computer, Windows turns the notifications back on. I've only been using Windows 7 for a year now with my new pc that I built for myself (before that I was still using XP on my previous, ~8 year old desktop). I have no desire to change.

Its quite doable, just make sure to gain an alliance with the Turks, as they act as a decent blocking force against the crusader forces coming overland. And they have very, very good horse mounted archers and decent enough foot troops to back the cavalry too in a drawn out figth.
