The first two paragraphs of the spoiler is one of my favorite parts of the game. It is such an awesome detail and had me giggling like a crazy person.

Eh, I’d argue it’s because of the modding community that Bloodlines 1 is still played today, especially with the unofficial patch.

I would love to see F.E.A.R. with updated graphics. Preferably just a remaster, but if it was remade in the same spirit as the Dead Space remake was, I’d be down for that too, especially if they brought back Fettel’s voice actor.

That’s kind of where I am now: I have T3 unlocked, but I’m not happy with the rate at which I’m killing stuff at that level in the Pit, so I’m upgrading what I can until I’m more comfortable there.

Oh, that’s good to know that the drop rate isn’t just me then, haha. I’m on Torment 2, and thought about moving up, but if the drop rate isn’t any better, I’ll just stay where I am for now.

Technically finished out the season journey and “campaign” rewards for Diablo 4: Season 6, now I’m just going for 100% completion and the rest of the battle pass rewards. I’m thinking it might take me a while, since for whatever reason ancestral items don’t drop that often for me, and the last thing I have to do is salvage 100 of them. It might have to do with the Torment level I’m on, but since the season doesn’t end until the end of January, I’m not too worried.

Speaking of Diablo, I was going to complete Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred with my OG campaign Necromancer, but I was having so much fun with my seasonal Rogue that I started working on and finished the DLC with her instead. Not sure how I feel about the ending of the expansion, since leaves a very big opening for more expansions (or d5?) and doesn’t really feel finished as far as the story goes.

Since The Lake House DLC came out this past week for Alan Wake 2, I’ve decided to replay (most) things Remedy, starting with Alan Wake, of course. I’m playing the remaster, which looks a lot better than I remember playing it for the first time. And while replaying it after having played AW2, I didn’t realize there were SO MANY references they stuck in referring to the sequel. Hell, even the QR codes that were just fun little things in the pc port have been turned into straight up references. It’s been so fun to replay.

Oh, I love this game! Really short and easy, and the narrator is fantastic. But I might be a little bias, since Dagon is my favorite in the Cthulhu Mythos, haha.

Finally started in on Diablo 4: Season 6, and it was a little bit of a pain leveling up with the new system, but once I got into the paragon boards, man, things really took off. I am in love with my Dance of Knives Rogue. She is mowing down mobs like they’re nothing. It’s only been a week and I’m already on the Slayer chapter for season objectives. At this rate I’ll be done faster than my Necromancer last season.

Played Amnesia: The Bunker (again, lol) one night for a couple more achievements: never dropping/storing an item and playing through the whole game without saving. I was also trying to go for three with one about taking out a bunch of rats, but for some reason I could never get more than a group of 4. Oh well.

I second Quantum Break. When I first started that game, I wasn’t sure if I would like it, but it was fantastic!

I haven’t had much time to game any this week, but I have been working on what I have left for Diablo 3: Season 32 during down time. I’m not confident that I’ll complete it in the next week when the season ends, but that’s ok.

I’m really eager to start Diablo 4’s Vessel of Hatred, but I think I’m going to work on Season 6 first this next week.

I’ve been trying to cross off some of my “in progress” games, ones I’ve been working on off and on over the past few months, so I can make room for new ones.

After sitting on it for months, I finally got around to finishing my second playthough of Lies of P. I went for the “Real boy” ending, and man, I really had to fight the urge to start a third round. I really like the combat and 99% of the characters.

Cleaned up the rest of the map for Mad Max, with the exception of collecting all the vehicles, since that’s kind of a pain to do. Much like Lies of P, I was a bit tempted to start another playthough lol.

Maxed out all the glyphs for my Scorcerer in Diablo 4: Season 5, so it’s set aside until I come back from a planned vacation this week. I’m not sure how I’ll handle a new season and a new dlc, AND a new leveling system all at the same time, but I’ll figure it out.

I agree with it being one of the greatest! I can’t wait to see where they take the story next.

In one of the DLCs (Signal, I think?), you end up going through the kitchen, so that’s probably why it’s so fleshed out.

Man, you’ve reminded me that I need to replay this and the sequel before the Lake House DLC comes out this month! It’s such a great series.

Working on a last hurrah for Diablo 4: Season 5, just finishing up max leveling glyphs for my Scorcerer before I completely set it aside for next season.

Right when I was getting bored playing Sims 3 in my current save, my eldest… disappears. I mean, I saw her die, the Grim Reaper showed up and got her, but that means nothing to this buggy mess of a game. She left no tombstone or anything. So, my current save now is now at four generations, due to an adoption. But, I’m at a point where I want to play other stuff, so this game’s going back on the shelf for a while until I need another reset.

Finished Amnesia: The Bunker and managed to get a couple achievements out of it. I might do some serious achievement hunting, but I also kind of want to play a new game, so we’ll see how this week goes.

I agree with D, and would also like to submit the Dead Space games.

Finished Doom and am about halfway through Doom II, but I’m kind of getting sick of it, so I might put it away for a while.

Decided on playing Amnesia: The Bunker again. I thought about doing some achievement hunting, but so far I’ve just taken things pretty chill. At least as chill as you can be hiding from a monster in a bunker.

If it’s any consolation, Amnesia: The Bunker has a different AI than the previous iterations. I mentioned it’s like Alien: Isolation, and the monster works very similarly, like reacting to how much noise you make and stalking which parts of the bunker you’re in. Most items with every run are also randomized, so you can’t memorize where to pick up supplies. (You can also customize the difficulty, which I thought was really cool.) But if you’ve already tried it, then my point is moot lol.

The first Layers of Fear was pretty spooky, very PT inspired. The second one was decent too, but not as scary.

Outlast is the standard I hold walking sim horror games to. I can speedrun through it now since I’ve played it so much, but the first few times were terrifying.

Some people have mentioned Amnesia, so I’ll throw in the recent iteration with Amnesia: The Bunker. It’s like Alien: Isolation in a WW1 setting.

Speaking of which, Alien: Isolation is probably no. 1 for me. Between the alien, the androids, and even other people, that game is very stress inducing.

I’ve kind of been needing a “gaming reset” since lately I’ve just been dabbling here and there without really committing to anything, so I decided to check in on my current save in Sims 3. I forgot how addicting this game can be lol. I’ll probably play this for a few days and then finish my second playthrough of Lies of P that’s been sitting for weeks now.

I have 100% completed all the season objectives for Diablo 4: Season 5, so I’m setting aside my Necromancer and rebuilding my Sorcerer, just for fun. I thought about rebuilding my Barbarian as well, but after I heard about all the crazy changes coming to season 6 with character progression, I think I’ll hold off for now.

I finally completed Alien: Isolation on PC with 100% achievements! I’m just gonna… ignore the other achievements that I have left on other platforms, lol. For now.

A re-re-released version of Doom is on GamePass since Legacy of Rust was released last month, so I’ve been hopping on every now and then to blast my way through demons.
