My first Halloween game this year, and it seems decent enough. Trying to go over my game list and find more "spooky" games, preferably something not being played before.

Still Life on Steam

Still Life 2 also now available!

I've been feeling under the weather, so I called in sick today. That meant I had a bit more time to play some games today, but I also didn't feel like doing anything too complex. So, instead of continuing Baldur's Gate 3, I started Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord.

On my first try I got a bit too optimistic and got my ass beat twice by some low level bandits. Turns out they throw stones now and those hurt quite a bit when there's half a dozen guys chucking them at you.

So I restarted and now it's going pretty well. I scrounged together some half-way decent gear and I got a couple of veteran soldiers, so I can take on most bandits without any problems. Though I did get downed once more from some unusually accurate archers. Luckily my men could just drag me out of there so I didn't lose anything.

I played a variety of games over the weekend. Starting with Skin Deep, I was having a lot of trouble on the third level. The main gist of the game is the save all the cats locked up on each ship, however you choose to go about it, but at the end of the third level it tasked me to go back into the ship as it got boarded by a good 7 more pirates. This is where I was having issues. I had no weapons or kill them, so I failed and retried a few times.

The little capsule you pop into with the rescued cats has some extra weapons on the wall. No shoes, though.

Happy Monday everyone (unless you're a time-traveling Australian).

I am happy its not Monday any more. Too far away from Friday. I am almost up to hump day (Wednesday)... funny how people wish their lives away.

I was going to play Slormancer today... I forgot as not playing a game is normal mode for me.
