Kazriko's Dive

January 2015 Multimedia Completion

Games: 1. Nano Assault Neo (PS4) 1/5. Not the best game. It wants to be Super Stardust, but isn’t quite as good.2. Fat Dragons (PSVita) 1/11. Essentially, it’s Joust.3. Lone Survivor: Directors Cut (PSVita) 1/13. Trippy game. Worth playing at least once.4. Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete (PS1) 1/17. Finished this, and later finished the epilogue. One of the more expensive games that I’ve ever played. I had to buy a new set of the game to finish it because the second disc was scratched.

Best of the year 2014, things I've finished.

Books: The Martian Sunrise Alley The Mistborn series The Quantum Vibe series A Mad Tea Party Games: I finished so many games, that I couldn’t cut it down to a top 5… Danganronpa 1 & 2 Xenoblade Chronicles Odin Sphere Factorio South Park: Stick of Truth Transistor Valiant Hearts Broken Age 1 Fez Rogue Galaxy Videos: Guardians of the Galaxy Adventure Time (S1-3) Madoka Magica South Park S18 Sword Art Online

December 2014 Multimedia Completion

Books: Nada Games: 80. Fantasy Life (3DS) 12/1 Like a little offline FF14 game. I completed it without ever going to a combat oriented class. Tough playing it this way, but the game is good, mindless fun. A good one to veg out to. 81. Rollers of the Realm (PSVita) 12/22 Great game. Worth playing. I’d only change a few things I think. 1. Losing all of the exp and gold from a level is a bit too punitive.

Schlock Mercenary, paying attention to the backgrounds

Look at this series of comics… http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2014-05-25 http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2014-06-05 http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2014-06-19 http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2014-08-10 http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2014-11-23 http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2014-12-02 http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2015-01-07 8 months, 7 comics, all one continuous story being told in the background.

September-November 2014 Multimedia Completion

Wow, I spaced this thing out for 3 months. Guess I was too busy. Books: N/a Games: September: 61. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (PS3) Very interesting game, worth playing. 62. Infamous: First Light (PS4) A worthy addition to the series. I enjoyed it however brief it was. 63. Hohokum (PS4) Very interesting. Very little storyline, but interesting. 64. Serena (Linux) Also for PC. About an hour long adventure game where you mostly just poke around trying to find new dialog on all the random objects around you.

August 2014 Multimedia Completion

Books:Didn’t do much reading this month, aside from RSS feeds. Games: 53. Tiny and Big: Grampa’s Leftovers (Linux) Finished. it was pretty short, but entertaining. Though, I kept thinking it was the last battle, then being disappointed when there was more to play. 54. Gone Home (Linux) A bit buggy, though new drivers helped this a bit. interesting to explore and listen to music. 55. Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii). Will probably end up on my top 10 rpgs ever.

July 2014 Multimedia Completion

Books: 13. Quantum Vibe Volume 1. and 14. Quantum Vibe Volume 2. This is just a great book all around. It’s a bit on the preachy side, but still a great old-fashioned scifi romp. 15. The Hook. I’m not sure what the point of this was. 16. Roswell, Texas. A bit of a wish fulfillment nightmare scenario. 17. Escape from Terra. Really good, even though it kind of ends in the middle.

June 2014 Multimedia Completion

Books: 12. A Mad Tea Party. Kickstarter is like Christmas scattered throughout the year. You get a random package without remembering that you ordered it months ago on kickstarter. In any case, this one was really quite good.  Games: 45. Walking Dead S1E4. Seemed really long, but was interesting. The ending was pretty brutal. 46. Entwined. Short, a bit challenging. 47. Walking Dead S1E5. So few survivors, especially from the initial group… Next up is 400 days I guess.

May 2014 Multimedia Completion

Books: None Games: 37. Octodad: Dadliest Catch (PS4) Pretty fun little game, the last level is really tricky though. 38. Hatsune Miku: Diva F (PSVita) I didn’t expect to enjoy the game, much less find any music I liked, but there were a few good songs in there, including the excellent Tengaku.  39. Night of the Rabbit (PC) AGH. This game has everything I hate about PC gaming. It works great for the first 4/5ths, then becomes an unstable, crashy mess in the last 1/5th.

April 2014 Multimedia Completion

Books: 11. The Martian. Excellent book. Everyone with any science knowledge should pick it up. Everyone else too if they can tolerate a little bit of science/engineering talk. Games: 25. Kings Quest 3 (PC/Dos) More entertaining than the last one, but the time limits can get a bit annoying. 25.1. Fez 100% (PSVita) Managed to get all the items. 26. Walking Dead S1E1. (PSVita) A bit intense. Tough for me to go through without wanting to second and third guess everything I do.
