It's Been Awhile....

...since my last post. The blog isn't really a priority in my life, more of a thing to do when I'm bored or putting things off. As of yesterday I am officially done for the summer. I have no job, no major current projects, no school and I may or may not be leaving in a week. So I have one week of BLAH and "I don't know what the monkey to do with myself". I recently bought Overlord 2 for $21 dollars (which pleased me seeing how I have only about $40 dollars of spending money to my name) and it is absolutely fantastic. Of course it has some issues (one being that Gary, my laptop, cannot run it...well at least), and others including minor gameplay and graphics issues. Otherwise I'm enjoying the story, the game, THE HUMOUR, and the general concept behind it. I LOVE playing the antagonist, or the "evil side". Puts a new twist on things. It has one of those "choose good or evil" type set-ups, only you choose between "evil and really evil". There is a kind of neutral area as well, which I seem to be hanging around. It's nice to be able to enslave a town one day and blow it up the next. Blowing up things is fun. Especially in this game. There are a lot of jokes, puns, silly instances and sick humour, which I find hilarious. Too many games are so serious and hard and dark. This is dark with and beautiful wave of hilarity washing though it. I hope to finish the game before leaving (whenever that is), because I can't continue it while I'm gone on my laptop. I also have a time period of about 10pm - whenever I'm too tired to play anymore and pass out to finish it, seeing how that's the only time period the family computer is not being used one way or another. One thing I can't wait for is the plot twist. Apparently there's a rather exciting and surprising plot twist, much like the first Overlord. If it's anything like the first Overlord, I'm all for it, and very much looking forward to it.

So aside from Overlording, I finished my Dungeon Keeper 2 series. Mission 20 was posted about...a week ago ish, and is currently sitting in my channel in 9 parts. YES 9 parts. I promised to post Mission 20 in its entirety, and that recording was over 1 hour and 10 minutes long. I can't remember the full time, but it's all there. I only have the bonus levels to do now, and any other random things I can come up with. I will be beginning my new project soon hopefully. I'll work on it on holidays and start posting on my return. The plan is to do a remake of my "Bercuda's Quest: Avenging Gertrude" a project I started and gave up on last summer. It was a screenshot story making a farce of Dungeon Siege, a game released by Microsoft quite some years ago. It came out sometime in my late elementary - early Jr. High years, so somewhere around 7-8 years ago. I honestly can't remember and don't feel like looking it up at the moment. I have some minor changes to make to my idea however. The main character's name will probably change, I will be posting the video either in Chapters, or just parts as I record it, I'm not sure. I will not be recording town and preparation parts, so I will need map pictures and recaps of missions and quests before each video. The story is, essentially the same: a farce of a journey led by a bald farmer wishing to avenge his cow Gertrude. It is doubling as entertainment and a walkthrough, so this should be interesting. Hopefully it will be received nicely enough. I don't know what the DK2 people will say, but this is all part of a grand experiment...and to relieve my boredom.
