Gaming

so I have a task of merging three treasure chests for something better. I wait all day to get the third of a kind and what do i do when I finally get it? Why, I click it of course and all it contains is only measly coin.

I bought Obduction on Steam because it was in the sale, i'll have a play at some point, I just wanted to get it. Bought a few 'quick' games on Nintendo switch too as i'm tending to play that more at the minute.

Now that my internet is working again I can say that I've completed Portal!
It was even shorter than Limbo, wasn't it? I'd like to complain but I just can't be angry with it because it was so very well done and that final level was an absolute gem! Such clever storytelling, perfect difficulty level and the way you transitioned from following instructions to defying them was wonderful. Makes me wish Valve would make more games instead of just selling them.
And there are some bonus maps I've yet to try so I won't be uninstalling yet even though the sequel is waiting in my library.

I've been playing Merge Dragons ALLLLL day. But I also managed to get all the event prizes in the 3 day event (merge five, get a few extra dragons...) before time was up

All day??

I just had a look a video of the gameplay and it does look like one of those horribly addictive games.
Also the graphics remind me a bit of Aywas characters, but not as good as yours obviously!

It is terribly addictive - you WILL quit, you're just gonna do one mo... oh and that one thi... oohhh lookie there.... etc.

After a brief assassinating excursion in Tuscany (hmm, was it Tuscany? Can't quite remember. If it wasn't Tuscany then just pretend it was for the sake of the story. ) I found myself with another codex page so I thought I'd get Leonardo Da Vinci to translate it again. I grabbed a horse and set off on my ride to Florence because I didn't want to use the fast travel that costs money, I'm not yet rich enough to throw it away on that!
Having arrived in Florence I then had to try and find his workshop on the map, I really should have memorized it last time I was here. There's supposed to be an icon but I couldn't see it so I had to roam around various streets until I finally found something that looked familiar. And there it was next to that little shop and the fast travel place. I eagerly went up to the door with my codex page ready for him and... he apparently wasn't in!
It seems that Leo has some kind of social life that doesn't involve translating pages for me. Oh, well...
So I got back on my horse and went back to the villa to talk to Uncle "It's-a me, Maaario!" for the next quest/mission and he gave me a lecture about.... the codex pages and told me to go to Leonardo to get them translated.
Back to Florence then. *horse riding continues*
And look! Leonardo's at his workshop.... NOW!
Memo to self: Leo's only at home when the story needs him to be.

But I don't mind really, it's a damn good story and the voice acting is some of the best I've encountered in a game.

Cheap? Dentist?! Hahahahaha.

Well, my dentist wasn't kind with the numerous injections but I did walk out with a bit of spare cash. So with my sad face somehow managing to be numb and painful at the same time, I decided to treat myself to Skyrim! (Original not Special Edition.)
Aaand it's lovely. Strange how I get a better frame rate than I do with Morrowind. It's a mystery!
For the time being I'll probably still spend more time on Morrowind as I think it is a better game despite its age, but it's nice to have the option to watch that swooping dragon too.

La Noire is £6.99 on steam????? Its bloody £45 on switch, i've been waiting for it to reduce.

might just get it on steam!

I imagine that the Switch game will be a remastered version that's optimised for the modern hardware.
I'm still a bit torn about it. If it was half that price it'd be one of the first things I'd get but as it is, for seven quid I can probably get three other games that I know will run better. Dilemma.
