There’re in my head….

Games as a Service (Gaa) is now the dominant content delivery method on PS4 which means you pretty much rent stuff as opposed to owning it. Dammit, another thing you should add to your digital asset list on your Last Will & Testament.

PS4 Plus is mandatory if you want to play online games but comes with lots of free games every month so long as you maintain membership. So for my own little self-Denial of Service I’ve let my service expire for a few weeks, this kills of Division 2 for a while but I’ll plan to be back in August.

Tom Clancy’s The Division® 2 – offline game-play not an option.

A little help here

Navigating spoilers is tricky nowadays with everyone publishing everything as soon as they discover it.  Often, the person is just passing on leaked info like a chain letter. I haven’t had the time or motivation to chase Hunter masks but clearly Division 2 have designed these level 35 NPCs for Easter Egg types who are meticulous and motivated.

To the Bat Cave

Free Online video services always make it a no-brain to find secrets, so here is what I’ve learned from @Dazed Gaming

Hunters Location tips

Track them after 7pm (game time)

Hunter #1

  1. Henry Bacon Drive             N° 1165  W°1764
  2. Then                                           N° 962   W°1913
  3. Then                                           clear NPCs and shoot light-bulb

Hunter #2

  1. Washington Monument      N° 1015  W°2927
  2. Safe House                                Go down life shaft

There are apparently 10 more hunters to track down and no doubt many players want to show you how. For now, I’ll just track 2 a week from online video tips

What the hell is that?

I like to Watch

It’s been around 1.5 decades since I last worn a watch, the steady march of technology made it obsolete in my life as far as the time keeping function goes.  More and more I grew frustrated with no being able to afford the Watch I want.

It’s a good balance to buy what you need not what you want, so I dived in and acquired my first decent timepiece with a rough goal of building up a collection of five.

Watching the protestors take over key London locations was surreal and apocalyptic.  World famous Marble Arch was a ghost town with no vehicles and just zombie protestors going on about climate change.

The Austerity Years [Level completed]

Interesting things happen when you are face down in the dirt. Folk who you thought would help scurry into the sidelines but along the way, you may find someone who helps you focus fire and defeat Boss levels you simply could not complete alone.

For many the most important thing going on is the uncertainty of the UK leaving Europe formally but for millions of gamers it’s the realisation of Division 2 and the randoms who will become real friends over missions, raids and whip outs.

My PS4 Pro will be delivered before launch so now I just need to protect my stash and farm for more loot.

Waking up the bird

It’s been a while since I’ve use the Twitter social channels to communicate or comment on anything.   

Twitter stopped being fun for me years ago when people started taking everything literally as truth. What’s more interesting is the weight it carries in judicial and education systems and the massive impact it has on a real-life relationship, job markets.

I’ll be posting with a large disclaimer banner under academic research. 

Tom Clancy’s The Division® 2 – Taking a holiday before launch

Start 2019 on a Boss Level

No New Year’s resolutions just a desire to do better, break the Status Quo and ditch the disappointments of 2018.

The New Year always serves are an excellent reset point.  This year it’s really awkward returning back to “normal” life after the past few week Caribbean exploration. I’ll be jumping the highly criticized FallOut 76 universe which was surprisingly reduced in price way ahead of the normal lifecycle. 

How bad can it be?

I was gifted The 2017 Resident Evil 7: Biohazard but will hibernate this survival horror and head back to grinding the Division.
