Weekly Game Progress #2

Hey it's Tuesday! Time for a blog post :)

Solo

Darkest Dungeon

I was having a really great time playing Darkest Dungeon last week, and then I lost all my weekend progress. I finished all the initial quests and leveled a couple heroes to 4 and 5. On Sunday night I opened my laptop where the game had been suspended since Thursday. That save file overrode my most recent save in the cloud. I tried everything to try and get the weekend progress back, but alas I failed. 

I'll continue to play but losing so much progress has been tragic. I'm going to be a lot more careful with cloud saves going forward.

Streaming

Dragon Quest XI

We streamed more Dragon Quest, but due to a slew of technical errors we only got a good hour in. I don't totally remember what we're doing in the story. Our session was mostly helping our resident prince impress his father so he gives us an item of 7 colors. Hopefully we make more progress on Thursday.

Zelda: BotW

I'm super happy to start Zelda again. I got off the plateau, made it to Kakariko village, did all the side quests I could find and made my way to Hateno. Upgraded our slate as much as I could, got our first pony, who was named after my viewer and mod Metalacil. I'm stoked to continue playing this game and continue exploring this awesome world. 

Check out the stream Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays! This weekend I'll probably be streaming on Sunday instead because Saturday I'll be spending the day at PAX South in San Antonio. Next week I'll update with some pictures from the con. 

New Year Fresh Blog Start

Happy New Year! I'm inspired to start this blog again after reading an article on Kotaku about how many games he played in 2017. I really enjoy keeping a weekly record of the games I've been playing. Shooting for Tuesday updates! Let's make 2018 a great year for games, blogging and streaming!

Played this week

Darkest Dungeon

I've been playing through Darkest Dungeon, it's really fun. I restarted the game last night on the recommendation of playing with Crimson Court disabled. It's the first expansion that adds a new area and a new mechanic that turns your party members in vampires, which is mostly just annoying to manage.


Final Fantasy XIV

I stumbled across a group called the MMO Bookclub a long while ago and thought it was a really cool idea. They vote for a new MMO to play every month as a group. I joined the discord probably 6 months ago but haven't participated that much. This month is FFXIV so I'm trying to jump in again. I transferred my main to their server and reactivated my account. I'm not sure if I want to dedicate the time to an MMO, but we'll see if I click with the group.

Stream plan

Oh hey I started streaming here.

Dragon Quest XI

My friend Ed and I have been streaming Dragon Quest XI in Japanese. It's been really fun! We do so every Thursday at 8pm CST. The game is slated to release in 2018 in the west, but no release date has been announced. We hopefully will finish it before it launches in English.

Zelda Breath of the Wild

This I'm planning on solo streaming. I've played a bit off-stream but my roommate recommended that I start fresh for the sake of the stream, so I'm restarting this game on Saturday!

My stream plan right now is Monday, Thursday, Saturday. I'm looking forward to getting back into it and building a community of friends to enjoy gaming with :D
