Always Rambling on about Games and Security

With only a few days left before FarCry 5 is unleashed, it’s time to pause and ponder on the merit of being the Bad Guy. I’ve deliberately not focussed on the FarCry 5 story as not to spoil the first time experience but the image of a Black preacher with a Bible in one hand and a grenade in the other is classic inner conflict that promises excellent gameplay and storyline.
I’m not sure if this is a playable character but if so I’ll jump into this role from Day One.
My normal rigid emotional state has been stretched over the past 10 days supporting Loved ones and friends. I wasn’t at full readiness but was able to be there when needed. All down to my single-minded goal focus.
Living simple, clear out unnecessary material things, filter communication, eliminate social media chatter.
Of course, this creates new social links whether you like it or not.
With only 6 days remaining, I’m total ready for FarCry 5. With US server downloads ready on Sunday, I can see it may well take 1-2 dayst to complete the download.
After a horrendous weekend of technical problems, I started my Monday with a simple written statement that I deeply wanted.
Six hours later I found the technical sweet spot for a complete solution. Now the paradox question to myself is “What if, I didn’t write my affirmation statement in the morning?” Tangible success is a great thing and I should continue aiming higher.
What do you want for me?
What do I want for myself?
What is stopping me?
Today is a Good Day
I’ve decided to take early retirement at Level 60 on FallOut 4, freeing up hard drive space and preparing for FarCry 5. In the meantime, I’ll do the last Global Event in March on Tom Clancy’s The Division just to get some Loot with a chance of exotic weapons and classified gear.
Right now, I’m full of winter excuses for not hitting the gym but have at least I’ve started studying again.
No meds today, No exercise for over 50 days
The wonderful temptation of pre-ordering games online is an excellent venus fly tray I’ve avoided for years. Gamers are baited with extra goodies for parting with their cash as an early adopter of the title.
As a rule, I never do this but for FarCry 5 I’ll make an exception rather than a habit of it.
Streamers, however, are pulled into this to boost their viewing and subscriber numbers and people naturally want to see the actual gameplay before diving in. I didn’t catch a Beta for FarCry 5 but already had some hands-on gameplay at a Gaming conference late last year; the look and feel is awesome.
Of course, the pre-order options are more attractive for the digital version so you are literally playing on Hour One of the new release. Predictably, the very same title will be available for 30-40% lower a few months later.
