My headset of six years broke two days ago to my shock and horror. Got the replacement today (literally the same one) and it's KILLING MY BRAIN, but oh it sounds like it did six years ago! I love this headset!
I also got the artbook by Bluecanvas for The Order: 1886. Mediocre game, really AWESOME artbook and art direction. Oh god, it smells so good. I love the smell of a new book so much. Yaaaas.
Mad Max being everything I hoped (and wanted) it to be. One of the best action movies I've ever seen if not one of the best movies I've ever seen. George Miller blew me away. I can't wait to go see it again this week.
I was excited to see it when I saw it had a 98% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. So I went poking around a bit about the movie and found this quote from a critic:
"The first car chase in the film is one of the best car chases I've ever seen and it is by far the worst car chase in the movie."
The movie wallows in insanity and it is glorious. Miller does amazing world building throughout. All the characters are so fully realized. God, it was so good.
@Hadrak have you played Dust, an Elysium Tail? I just got it today and I think I've sat down for like two or three 3-hour stretches or so, so far. It's so good, and it's so beautiful. Like holy shit.

It's very Korean. I enjoyed playing it. Take good notes about places you can't access!
Haven't grabbed Dust yet, but I'll probably snag it down the road during a sale or when I get through my enormous backlog. Work's been slapping me across the face for the past month now, so I'm just playing through Wolfenstein TNO/The Old Blood (and replaying Dishonored/Knife of Dunwall/The Brigmore Witches for the 6th time) when I grab some free time.
Back from my wedding at the beach. Pictures will be posted later. Was a great time even though Ana was a slight issue in the beginning. Sorry didn't have time to try to meet up with any NC aetolians while I was at Sunset Beach.
I love Dragon Age Inquisition. I have SO many games to play, but I bit the bullet and went for a second playthrough on this one and I remember just why it was my favourite game last year. It's incredible, so much detail and even having played it there is so much different when you pick a different gender, race, worldstate and side with different people.
I love that I am finally a student again and the paperwork is finalized with old student loans.
I have had a rough week with getting re-injured and being off work once again, the slew of appointments that followed just shook me up a bit, but perhaps in a good way. In my downtime of trying to distract myself I spent time researching information in regards to my past due loans, handling a few things and loose strings and getting accepted to college.
A degree in arts for Interior Design....here I come!
Corn field internet acting field of dream-like, couldn't stream GOT on HBOGo. Smuggled little bottles of wine into the theater to watch Mad Max. First movie I've ever gone to by myself. SWEETEST MOVIE EVER. 10/10 would do again so hard.
I absolutely loved The Flash season finale. I know some people disliked some things about it -cough- @Mariena -cough-, but that was the best episode of television I've seen in a long, long time. What a fantastic show. Truly a credit to DC Comics and it is still a horrible shame they aren't using Grant Gustin in the films for the character. I'm just speechless, really. Such emotion, such awesome special effects, and such a twist near the end that I didn't see coming.
So awesome.
"Hell hath no hold on a warrior’s mind, see how the snow has made each of us blind. Vibrant colors spray from new dead, staining the earth such a beautiful red."
Souls successor, yeah. Very similar gameplay with some differences that set it apart from Demon's Souls/Dark Souls/Dark Souls II. Much faster paced. Done by Hidetaka Miyazaki who directed Demon's Souls and Dark Souls as well. Story/setting is Gothic horror that evolves into Lovecraftian horror and is, in some ways, more nebulous than either of its predecessors. (until you dig in deep and then the insanity cap pops off in your face)
This boss fight is probably my favorite boss fight across all of the games, although Artorias, Gwyn, and Demon King Allant come very, very close.
Lots of love for this past rifts and portal event. It really was a lot of fun and I had such a blast! Shoutout to everyone involved from Spinesreach, Bloodloch and the few Lighters I managed to run into, you guys rock.
So, after the fight I got involved in on Monday, I've had to write a report and the principal has been notified about me taking some hits from the fighting students. It's rough being a teacher sometimes.
However, it is all balanced out when a student the day after comes in high-fiving you and telling you you're the reason they are actually getting a grade at all. Since coming to this school and working as a substitute teacher I've managed to get at least 4 students up to a passable level that others considered hopeless cases. Feeling quite good about myself!
I am high on sedatives right now and going in to have another scan on my body, then I get to go have a needle jammed in my spine.
Why is this a love?
Maybe they will finally find a way to fix me, I am so tired of being broken. Fingers crossed. I will be around later, no promises on RP quality, I might be a bit out of it lol.

Simple pleasures.
No more babysitting a 13 year old. No more 70-80 question Biology tests every week.

I hate the death glares I get walking down the street with an Isis t-shirt on.
Now that I am past the scary stage, and on to the enjoying it part, I felt like sharing with everyone in general!
Believe me, Labor Day (and yes, that is my due date), can not get here fast enough.

Now my hype is fully raised.
