Over the past week I’ve battled through The Old Hunters DLC, and have enjoyed it more than I expected, and thankfully the final foe is finished 🙂 This has been my issue with Bloodborne, and the rest of the Souls series; I put the game down, only to consider it too tough to come back to for casual play. Only to pick them back up and drool over the quality…

Over the past 2 days I’ve ticked off Colossi 11 to 16, then had the pleasure of watching the end story and the credits roll, and see how Shadow of the Colossus is the spiritual predecessor to Ico. Never have I taken as many screenshots… except maybe Final Fantasy XV. Only this time I didn’t want to share them on Twitter as I was scared of spoiling the game for…

w00t Horizon Zero Dawn complete, and what a journey 🙂 I’m a little split on how I feel, perhaps one of the best open World games I’ve had the privilege to play, certainly ranks up there with Skyrim and Ocarina of Time. Deep story, thoughtful various characters, detailed graphics, quality character acting, intuitive combat, and the farming didn’t feel like a grind. After ~70 hours of game play I was…

Picked up Horizon Zero Dawn to complete today; but the completionist in me came out and I had the need to find the last of the metal flowers, and now I find myself on Hunter Lodge trophy quests. I’d like to unlock all of the skill trees before I finish the game, although from what I understand the map is still playable after the final mission is complete, without having…

Via Twitter I’ve had the pleasure of meeting the talented indie developer Donovan Bell (@Savage__Dragon), creator of the cool Tears of A Dragon RPG published on Steam Sad to say that I don’t currently have time to invest into playing through a role play game, although I’ll certainly add Tears of A Dragon to my games to complete list 🙂 A review from me wouldn’t have been fair or done…

Well nearly complete… With the help of the awesome informative fextralife wiki Game Progress Route, and grinding blood in the lecture building, I made it to the Wet Nurse Wet Nurse. I had a memorable experience of being joined by 2 other Hunters after I’d beaten up the Brain of Mensis, after I’d ‘made contact’… which seemed to take far too long, I thought I was doing something wrong. Daykoh99…

My free time recently exploring one of the latest challenges from Kaggle: PASSNYC: Data Science for Good Challenge I’ve been working with Python, but considering switching to R to run k-means. My code is still a working progress so please be gentle 🙂 Overview PASSNYC is a not-for-profit organization that facilitates a collective impact that is dedicated to broadening educational opportunities for New York City’s talented and underserved students.

or do bows make a game good? I started pondering this today, and here are the first ones that came to mind, with Metacritic scores Turok2: Seeds of Evil 85 The Ledgend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 99 Shadow of the Colossus 91 Tomb Raider 86 Horizon Zero of Dawn 89 Far Cry 3 90 Dark Souls iii 89 Bloodborne with DLC 92 Skyrim 96 Something to consider if you’re…

Motivated by a player I met playing CoD Black Ops iii last night I’ve decided to try and complete Bloodborne He had Platinum trophies in each From Software title, so I can learn to master the parry… and remember the controls again. 8.5 GB download though, it’s been a while since I last booted it up! The OLd Hunters DLC is only 10 bucks, is it worth picking up? I…

I quite like my current Gnome setup, but I’m all for trying something new 🙂 Easy as to install, just drop the below code in your terminal, and choose a display manager sudo apt install ubuntu-budgie-desktop Also downloading Solus, as I have an…
notepad plus plus for Linux I use notepad++ at work on a windows machine, I find it great for taking notes, and editing SQL scripts on the go. For a long time Geany has been my goto Linux file editor, but it might now get more limited use in the future now that notepad++ is available in Linux, via snap 🙂 Crazy too, that I think this is my first…

Think I’m close to the end of Horizon Zero Dawn, but don’t want to rush to the last mission… only 47 hours in and 57.87% complete 🙂 Think I might try and unlock all abilities before I finish the game, so will look to unlock more locations and side quests. I still have the hunting ground and tutorials to complete, they should be easy exp

From my post history you can read how I’ve made a pledge to myself to finish the awesome games that I own before I purchase any new ones…. Doom was an exception, but I did complete it within a couple of weeks of purchase 🙂 Here’s a list of my outstanding AAA PS4 games collection, limited to non digital versions: Mirror’s Edge Catalyst Bloodborne Dark Souls ii Dark Souls iii…
I’ve been playing Fortnite Battle Royale off and on since it first went free to play on the P, I’m not the biggest fan, but neither have I put in much game time. I game across this guide by Kieth Stuart in the Guardian the other day the other day that has helped me a little… or more curbed my desire to jump out of the bus at the first…

Not sure what month I picked up Laser Disco Defenders on PlayStation Plus, but in a lull between games I downloaded it today, and I’m happy I did 🙂 Each laser you fire stays, so the more you shoot the harder it gets! Novel persistent bullet hell mechanic will keep you on your toes! Choose your look with outfits that change how you play the game Find the balance between…

Doom 2016 completed, stoked to find a game that kept me hooked from picking it up to completion, great to see Bethesda , and ID, doing what they do best. Love the extensive levels and badass weapons, I’ll be certainly putting more time into the Snap level design mode and multiplayer. [Rating:5]

& today @GamerGeekNews hit the 5k twitter followers 🙂 This was the glass ceiling number that expands the number of Tweeple that I can follow… kinda Sincere thank you to all who reciprocate and follow back, apologies for the stream of posts, but I find them of interest. Here’s the next 5k!

Doom (2016) This month I finally got around to picking up Doom for the PS4 after playing the demo. Hard to believe that I left it for so long; I’ve had heaps of fun, loving the simple run an gun format, and exploring the maps Bethesda have put together so well. As I was late to the party the update was huge, 30 odd gig iirc, but kudos to Bethesda…

Finally set my PS4 up today, eager to try out Overwatch with a fibre connection, to find Mad Max available as an April free title! W00t, it’s a game I’ve been meaning to pick up since it launched, but I’ve always had other games that have been on my radar to pick up. In the same instance I was disappointed to find Ratchet and Clank was given away last month,…

After nearly 5 weeks of playing Elite Dangerous, over the course of over 3 years, CMDR BadKitty has finally made it to Elite status 🙂 During this time I had an epiphany that the game was such a time sink that I picked up playing guitar, and we had Player 3 join our family; that has curbed my play time quite a bit, no loss to the joy he brings…
