Rift, League of Legends, Quarriors, Penny Arcade: Gamers vs. Evil, Bastion
I am trying new things in Rift, because this endless rep grinding is getting pretty dull. So, today I decided to see what was the deal with Tier 1 dungeons, and the answer is they are harder versions of older dungeons, with like twice as many bosses. I got stuck with healer duty (I'm always getting stuck with healer duty), and managed to do okay, although I collapsed on each of the new bosses, because I had no idea. Man, I passed out so often, I eventually said, "Yeah, it's cool, you can have that awesome staff that might have been a minor improvement to me. I hate staffs anyway." I was mainly embarrassed that I spent the majority of the fight we won it in unconscious, so yeah, I can do without it.
I also spend some time running a low-level dungeon with the purpose of completing the next step of this dang epic quest, and now I'm stuck, because I can no longer solo the minor characters that I meet. I guess I'll have to start looking for groups for that. Luckily, the LFG system is pretty slick.
Also tried to play more Leg of Legends, and spent I'm going to say twenty minutes looking at costumes. I keep looking for a character who would match my playstyle, then I'll buy that with free money so I have someone to run with, but I just don't know. I kinda hate that a good quarter of the characters are goofy as shit, like teddy bears and sad mummies and all that nonsense, because I cannot see myself ever playing as them. Also, still not playing against people yet!
I got a game of Quarriors in, which was pretty fun. I won easily; it's a bit more slapdash in a two-player game, because if one player gets a good roll and the other a bad, then a quarter of the game is over just like that. But enjoyable, I like the speed and customability of this game a lot.
And a game of Penny Arcade: Gamers vs. Evil which I lost really badly! The problem was that the heroes were greatly imbalanced, as I got the promo hero that has a benefit that only goes off the first turn, and he got the hero that gave him the same benefit as mine as long as he had three differently named cards, and he was pulling this off every turn in the last half of the game. He bought nearly every boss card, I only got about three, and it just went badly for me.
Lastly, beat the Bastion today. It's pretty good you guys, although the last level goes into some weird places, as it starts adding a whole lot of stuff that the player hadn't had to deal with before. I found the best weapon and the worst weapon though, the mortar and the rocket launcher. The rocket launcher is not good, fairly inaccurate, and its challenge level is bullshit. But everything else went well, so no complaining! I'm now interested to see where the New Game Plus takes us, how it ups the challenge and makes the game still interesting.
