Clocks change…..At Last

So much for planning sessions, I meant to schedule planned alone time for Horizon Zero Dawn™ but the game is so addictive that my sessions are running between 2-3 hours.

I’m even running 2 parallel games exploring different choice experiences.

Time to leave the Man Cave

Ok back to the drawing board.

Clocks move forward in a few hours. This is such a pivotal time for me, I can now wake up and walk out of my hibernation Man Cave. The so-called SAD (Seasonal affective disorder) season has less impact on me nowadays but the absolute joy of blues sky, blossom and birds singing just reminds me to wake up and live life.

Things I should have done last  summer

Prepared for Winter.....avoided Europe

Ditched the things that make me sad

Got a new wardrobe of clothes

Set up roots....stopped living out of a carry-on suitcase
Last Summer I visited Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture™

Alone in the Dark

Alone in the Dark is one of my favourite old school PC games from 1993.

Scaring myself silly till Dawn

Titles like this are truly best when you are alone physically and virtually, lights out with a big screen and good headphone.

I’ve started Survival Horror Until Dawn™ nearly 2 years after it’s initial release.

 

Knowing full well that I would get this title one day I avoided most of the public spoilers and streams but know just enough about the game to have a good first-time experience.

One of it’s most enjoyable features is the Butterfly effect in that all your decisions impact the life or death of game characters.

This is way too close to real life but a great lesson to be learned.

Stop and think, there will be consequences to all your decisions.

Buzz Kill

I’ve been farming and hunting in Horizon Zero Dawn ™ for a couple of days, ranked up to 7 already but still a rookie.

The issue is that I clearly need 2+ hours of uninterrupted gameplay to really explore the environment and find stuff.

Life keeps interrupting my gameplay

I’m taking my time to farm at the lower levels just to get used to the controls and find a rhythm.

So during gameplay, no checking my phone or anything otherwise even 2 hour straight feels a little unsatisfying.

It’s like I’m half way up a mountain then I get interrupted by a phone call or text…leave me along people I AM BUSY

I’m leaning towards scheduling bi-weekly sessions, maybe mid-week 3 hours straight midnight to 03:00 as opposed to random gaming snacks.

Not enough funds to get How to Survive 2 right now so will have to play something else in my Library.

Total carnage…..I Love it

I just spotted a gore title released last month that can serve as a nice Rage outlet.

How to Survive 2 is low cost top down button mashing Zombie killer survival game.

Not many people streaming it right now but it’s a multiplayer so you may meet some real life psychopaths along the way.

It’s a Mature rated game (17+ Blood, Gore and Intense prolonged violence) so it was a little disturbing seeing a YouTube Video by SuperiorZane08, who is sounds like a 10-year old child,  giving a tour of the game.

I bet the parents have no idea what the kid is doing.
