How to lose at the game called life

As I write this I'm fucking miserable, I think the hardest game I currently play and suck at is life, I've never seemed to be very good at it.

3DS Brick Edition.

On top of that my 3DS is now just a redundant brick, Shovel Knight is putting up such a fight, this fight being every boss battle in the game in succession, I also don't know what happens when you beat them all.

Some positive's come in the form of PlayStation Plus games Infamous:First Light and The Swapper, both title's I've looked at buying before and now there mine for free!

Just downloaded The Swapper, First Light nowhere to be seen, an hour passed till it appeared for free and not £11.99

I'll also be doing a minor overview of The Swapper and my feelings and experince with the game,
same as the Dark Dreams Don't Die games with gold review I posted.

Solve my puzzle Edition.

Its been a productive week of game play for me, two small milestones being achieved in the process.

Firstly my trophies count has been bumped up to 8 stars, also my gamer score has past the 86000 mark on completion of D4

Secondly I finished a small amount of games!


Finally polished of the end of the brilliant Sunset Overdrive, did YOU stay till the end of the credits, that ending!!

I also manages to sit and play through 'The Wolf Among Us' which was incredible and worth the £9.99 asking price, I started the first episode of Tales from the Borderlands which was surprisingly funny and excellent as well as the complete run through of D4 which as crazy as it was I thoroughly enjoyed.

Master Chef Xbox One Edition.

No progress made on Assassins Creed Unity as of yet and The Masterchef Collection is still waiting to be played, my brother jumping ship the second he brought a PS4 at Christmas.

I'm looking at continuing to blog as much as I can but content might slow down too every other day as I'll be giving my overview of The Swapper and first opinion is 'It's testing what little brain I have', which might take a few days to finish and get Online.

Awaiting the results of my 'Larazopam Diaries' vote to see what painstaking game I shall be playing and documenting next, last time I looked it was The Binding of Isaac in the lead, hoping to add some YouTube videos up at some point showing horrendous game-play videos of me vs platformers vs patience vs drugs.

Commit suicide Edition.

That Idea only being an idea so far though.

So a somewhat busy week past and a busy week ahead, please keep showing your support, comment on the blogs, follow my twitter account and Instagram pages for ramblings, pictures of me doing shit whilst getting fat.

Share the love, show a friend, join the Facebook page or this weird Google plus thing, I have no clue how it works.

But I just want to say a big Thank you to the people that have read my blogs, my friends and family who keep saying kind words and made me start doing this in the first place, I never thought I would, so even I surprise myself from time to time.

So cheers to many more blogs about games, stuff and prescription pills!

Happy 2015.

Destiny's Child Dance Edition.

Any thoughts about games I may have missed and should try and play drop in the comments below.

Also climbed back on that Destiny shaft after writing my blog and now sitting at a sweet level 29, still no raid attempts  yet, but I have all new armor, exotic helmet, legendary legs and books ready to get me into the 30's and beyond

Kirby Style,

Caleb.

Jumping into bed with an old friend - One Man's tale of his 'Destiny'

My dear old friend.

Today I jumped into bed with an old friend, all over a free gift, this friend being Destiny.

Now I came back to Destiny a few weeks ago suitably pumped at the idea of new strike maps, that alone was reason to throw another 60 hours of my life away, a few more hours running repetitive maps killing spooky Vex or clobbering the mole men looking Cabal in the face with my gauntlets named ' No Backup Plans '.

But this time I had a back up plan, only to have my heart broken by 3 awfully short missions, 1 strike map and a fusion rifle which I dismantled straight away, then realising the error of my ways, fucking myself with level progression as everything was in ' Urn* ' mode.

Molex watch anyone?!

*Urn mode being Bungie's way of getting you to shoot lots of enemies with a fusion rifle, collecting there ash in your urn, in return levelling your urn up for Xur, Xur being the weekend gypsy that turns up with rare trinkets like that Molex watch you always wanted.

The reason why I head back today is for a gift, a gift Bungie emailed me to say had arrived with a love heart at the end, what cool fucking ladies and gentlemen they are. My last gift was a sparrow that's ' Better ' than my old one, this one having flames on the side.

Now any reason to get me past the laughable level of 28, My Titan was once a fierce warrior in the crucible for the first two weeks of release, all the passion I thought had died with the multi player experience back with a vengeance, now standing high and dry in the tower counting unspent Glimmer, celebrating Christmas alone. Remember when we spent Halloween wearing pumpkin heads? I do!

My experience somewhat ruined by the fact I have no friends to buddy up with, No chatter whilst running weekly nightmare strikes and this daring ' Raid ' I've heard so much about but never played,
things I'd like to experience but haven't been so lucky to as of yet.

So I jump into my Valkyrie 05X and head back to the Postmaster to see what it's all about.

On my way I remember happy hours stood in front of players dancing trying to get there attention in the hope they'd invite me to run a weekly challenge and get some ' Strange Coins* ' to spend on Molex watches,

What a strange coin.

*Strange coins being Xur's strange currency to buy those rare trinkets, Molex watch anyone?!

A legendary pulse rifle named the Coiled Hiss is what I receive, sounds like a cock.

My hands remembering the controls and getting in the ever comfortable ' Kill mode ', straight away that hunger to play becomes apparent to me, all in the name of a legendary helmet I can't seem to find, Halting altogether my progression to level 29 and beyond.

Why?! Because I love jumping into bed with destiny after a few weeks off, It's excellent, It's stable, It's fun. be it 20 minutes or 10 hours, the time flies by, always looking for something new, grinding for more gear to make that nightmare run possible, buddying up for that raid experience I mentioned before.

A community, a bunch of close friends, hell even strangers, making everything possible from the comfort of your home.

They took what they new and they delivered, Metacritic users may disagree with over 4000 ratings calling it the worst game ever made with a score of 0 out of 10.

Now I thought the worst game ever made was Atari's landfill surprise E.T?

Not impressed.

So what, the content may have gotten old over time but so does everything!

Hell I played 17 days worth of Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare online, that experience was repetitive as shit, but it never changed the experiences we created with it, we are just spoilt for choice these days.

Have we all forgotten that 14 years ago this wasn't possible? in the 7 years since my Call of Duty 4 days the whole experience has gotten bigger and better on a massive scale.

So appreciate, be patient. Enjoy the little things, because that's what we are working towards. the basic mechanical of a death match will never change just the quality of the content inside of it.

This pulse rifle being the content,  meaning that when I jump into bed with Destiny again it will be exciting all over again.

Koi Koi
