I didn't have a wakestone on me and my pawn was still missing...

Ran into 2 straight Dullahans and then a False Dragon, ended up dying and needing to restart.  Unmoored is smooth sailing until it isn't. 

I wish I farmed some more while there, but the in game time limit, and RL time, caused me to haste.  Thinking back though, I did all the beacons and quests within what seemed like 3 in game days.  Online says it gives you 10-12, and slows after each beacon, so I was unsure.  Next playthrough, definitely going to farm more.

Nice improvements but probably not worth the upgrade.  The click bait title is regarding their recent RMA issues but it sounds like Linus himself is gonna get one anyway.

Retro Game Corps dude also had a video today and recommended just waiting for the original model to go on sale cheap instead.

Finished my first playthrough.  The first Purgener dragon I came across was destroying me.  For a moment I thought I may not be ready... Turns out I was fighting it wrong.  I basically swapped my archer equip with a magic archer, and that's all she wrote.  Lots of OP stuff. 

Ending had some head scratcher parts and feels... Almost Incomplete, even when compared to the first one.  But it was so much fun from start to finish, so that's all that mattered.  It was almost 5:30am, so I didn't have time to start NG+. 

Game is amazing. So glad this exists. Dragon's Dogma fo life!!!

Red Dead Revolver had such a storied development. I remember seeing the initial playable at Tokyo Game Show, in the Capcom booth still published by them at that time, and the tutorial sequence had Red as a kid, shooting adults. I thought, there's no way this will fly.

Those old builds leaked a couple years ago. Interesting to mess around with and observe changes with the final release. The gameplay was, in a sense, more Japanese of that era than the third person shooter it became under Rockstar. In so far as it was more lock-on and timing and such.

For some reason I wanted to use 10000 Bullets as a reference point. Learning it was from Yoshitaka Murayama, of Suikoden, who recently passed away.

I just beat Ninpen Manmaru for Saturn - if you like cute but super janky early 3D platformers, more linear and obstacle based instead of collectathon based, then it may be worth trying out.

Ok, so triggering the talos part kinda b-lined more than I expected. 
Needless to say, after some "looping", I finally entered the unmoored.   
 So ready to take it on.... I hope.  Grigori was laughable, so I think I should be good for this whole area.  Cant say my load out is my favorite, but I think I'm going to stick with it for now.  I'd rather experiment in NG+.  That title splash though..

- Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

This game is still tight, though the later levels got annoying with the constant Sith enemies.

- Lies of P

Finished this up, I enjoyed it a bunch. Some neat ideas in here, like being able to "charge" an estus flask while you are empty by hitting enemies. The specters are broken and basically carried all of the boss fights.

- Red Dead Revolver

Finished this in one sitting (vod: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2160349653 ). I enjoyed this game a bunch, it was a nice game with variety to not make it samey. There was a kinda bullshit part near the end, but we got through it.

Started Another Crab's Treasure aka Shellden Ring aka Crab Souls

Thinking of what to stream next. I'm kinda wanting to start and play Saturn games since there is a [lot] I have not played there

I'd suggest Legend of Oasis, if you haven't already.... Only because I never got around to it and have been enjoying Beyond Oasis alot lately.  Never did finish BO back in the day. Yuzo pulled some magic yet again out of the Genesis sound chip.
