New Year, New Agenda

Thief Gold is out of the running as I found a neat website that accomplishes what I do here. Child of Light, Thief Gold, and Thief II: The Metal Age are cataloged by others and so instead I’ll be creating some sort of a recommendations section.

This Christmas, however, I received Dishonored 2 as a gift from my parents (with a funny story to go with it), so my enthusiasm for this shiny new toy has firmly edged out the rest of the competition. It makes logical sense as well to feature the sequel to a game I have already covered!

Back to the Jewel of the South!

Late December check-in

After a (very) long AFK period, here I am! Just a quick sit-rep for now.

The games on my radar currently are Thief Gold, The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim (unique items), American McGee’s Alice: Madness Returns, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and a special project for Lost in Blue: Shipwrecked I’ll be collaborating with my sister on.

Not much has changed in my plans since I was last active. I just need to get started again! I haven’t decided what to work on first and so I have no ETA to announce as yet.

Dishonored complete! Long live the Empress!

Woohoo! Missions 07, 08, and 09 are up and the Runes and Bone Charms pages are done. With most of Dishonored complete, I plan to come back later and record all document locations. Since that is not a statistic tracked by the game, I’ll save it for a rainy day when I’m in the mood to Blink across Dunwall again. The DLC are also on my to-do list but I’d like to expand into other games a bit first.

Next up, robbing the City blind in Thief!20160519164526_1

 

And since this is one of my favorite games, also containing some of my favorite characters, I feel no shame over a little eulogizing. Okay, maybe I’m fangirling just a little bit here but Arkane did good. Just the fact that they managed to create a likable child character with depth and development–who didn’t annoy the crap out of you–is an achievement in itself. (Shut up, you think she’s adorable too. How could you leave without giving her a proper farewell, you monster.)

So, long life to Emily! May she benefit from her mother’s wisdom, her people’s affection, and Corvo’s devotion. A rough start can forge a little girl into a world-shaker, if only she has even a single person to believe in her. (And if she really is a playable character in this upcoming sequel, I am going to vibrate with excitement.)
