That’s better, Loki. You’re actually doing something useful to train now instead of just dancing for 8 hours straight. Maybe he’ll actually use magic against A-Bomb in the next fight!

So yeah, as you may have gathered from my last post, I did indeed get sucked into that Avengers Academy game, as I predicted I might.

I hit level cap, and while i do still have some story quest pending, including one which requires me to pay like 6,000 credits to level up Taskmaster, I decided to take some time to prettify my campus. I like things compact, efficient and organized, probably a holdover from my days playing old school PC citybuilders like Pharaoh, so you won’t get a lot of sprawling flower gardens from me, but no saying it can’t still look nice… Organized it into areas. Sciency type stuff in the upper left, SHIELD related stuff along the left edge below that, physical training in the lower left, transportation (Quinjet hangar and the Bifrost) in the middle, and i grouped the god stuff together too, so like the Bifrost, Asgardian Forge, and Ares’ Arena of War, then you have the living/recreation area in the upper right. Have a space reserved in the upper block for the Maverick Dorm (which I am assuming will be the same size as the other dorm) and blank space all down the sides for whatever new buildings they add…

I’ve not been sharing them *here* so far, but I’ve been taking tons of screencaps of the dialogue, which is basically what makes the game worth playing, since the actual gameplay is basically just timer management, plus rearranging/decorating your little campus. I’m loving the character designs, and like how most of the characters are in game. They are basically really exaggerated versions of themselves, some are more comic based, some are more MCU based, some are a mix of both. I am happy that though they played with his villainous tendencies a bit, Loki ended up not being the bad guy on campus, he was just a red herring. The real on-campus villain ended up being Enchantress with Taskmaster acting as muscle. Loki is portrayed more troubled than evil, overall, and eventually settled into the same territory as Black Widow. Oh man, is Enchantress a biiiitch. And I do like that they fully acknowledge that her methods are creepy and gross. Anyway, the game is absurd, but it knows it and runs with it, which makes it funny and cute. Dating is not implemented yet, but is upcoming, and the game is starting to steer you towards certain pairings, Loki and Wasp, Falcon and Kamala, Enchantress and Taskmaster (sorta), Tony and… everyone… Though I presume you can disregard their suggestions if you want, but I think Loki and Wasp are super cute, (though unexpected, i was all getting ready for him and Black Widow) and Kamala with Falcon is the least squicky option for her. I know they are all about the same age in the game due to de-aging, but I just can’t help but think of her as waaaay younger than all the rest. I think I’d prefer if they added Sam Alexander or Robbie Reyes to the game for her. I dunno if i actually want to set Enchantress up with anyone, even Tasky, cus seriously, she’s so gross. Even though there is a male to female imbalance which means several guy characters will end up single even if I did pair her up. Game needs more ladies.

Avengers Academy

The past little while i’ve been kinda obsessed with this stupid Avengers Academy game that’s coming out soonish, and I couldn’t figure out why. It’s this thing where all the Avengers have been de-aged to like high school students, and you level them up and make them interact with one another, and you can upgrade the school and whatnot. It’s pure  fluff as near as I can figure, but it looks cute. But it just dawned on me, it’s because it kinda makes a Sims game i played a while back kinda official. It’s not that this game looks especially good (not much to go on yet, really) it’s that i had fun with something similarish in the Sims.

In the Sims a while ago, I made the Avengers Mansion and I had like Iron Man and Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver and Thor and Cap  etc. and like Tony had this workshop underground where he made robots so Jarvis, Ultron and Vision that were robots since you could go over the cap that way. It quickly descended into pure absurdity. I gave Steve the ‘Technophobe’ trait, because he’s from the 40′s, right? and i didn’t want him using computers and stuff a lot. So he kept going down to Tony’s lab and trying to wreck his equipment and blowing things up, so they hated each other. I ended up having to lock him, and ONLY him, out of Tony’s lab. And Wanda was a witch, obv, and I gave her the ‘insane’ trait cus… obviously.  But that just made it so that  every time i turned my back on her for like 2 seconds she’d turn someone into a frog, but her magic skill wasn’t high enough yet to turn them BACK, so before long i had a whole mansion full of frog Avengers, except her, the robots and Janet (cus i made her a fairy, and they are immune) and it was completely ridiculous. I had to get Loki, who was living elsewhere in the city,  to turn everyone back because he was the only one with a high enough magic skill. First I tried simply inviting him over, hoping he’d just cast the charm himself, or taking them over to his place, but he’d just ignore their plight, and sometimes cast the reversal spell ON HIMSELF, while standing right infront of them, just to be a dick, i guess. So I had to switch back to his household (just him, a raven, and some cats. I had played a game earlier where it was him, Odin, Freyja and Thor, but he and Thor grew up and moved out, which is when i started the Avengers mansion. Though Verity lived across the street, and he had ghost Leah hanging around), and have him just invite them over and de-frog everyone. Then Tony died in a freak jetpack accident, because of course I gave him a jetpack, so I had ghost Iron Man hanging around for a while, until I got bored of that and got Loki to come over AGAIN and revive him, because he had a genie lamp. (though bizarrely i seem to have neglected to take screen caps of that) So in my game Loki ended up repeatedly saving the Avengers asses because they kept fucking up. Ah, it was a fun game. Maybe I should just dust that off instead. I could make the Sanctum Sanctorum and Doctor Strange so i could have a sane magician besides Loki hanging around to de-frog people (though I think i did eventually get Wanda’s skills high enough to reverse it, can’t remember for sure). Or maybe make the X-Mansion across the street.
