So a couple days ago, I opened a (fairly large) file Photoshop (this one: http://ift.tt/1Pp33cu it’s not done yet) and it created the scratch file, and i was informed i was low on disk space. Odd, I thought, I mean, i have a lot of crap, but it shouldn’t be FULL…. so I began a quest to clear some space, and over the next day I deleted  many gigs of stuff. Then, I found it. An EIGHTY FIVE GIG movie file where i had accidentally recorded myself playing Fallout 4 (and likely even after i had quit, it was recording the desktop) for HOURS… it was so large it couldn’t even play. It’s weird that i was even able to do that accidentally because I use the Steam Controller to play Fallout 4, so accidental key presses aren’t all that possible, since i have a very limited selection at my fingertips. Must have happened when I was entering a console command to take a screenshot or tcl cus i was stuck on something… But anyway, while in that folder, i discovered i had recorded a few videos i had kinda forgotten about, and found this, and I have no idea why I never uploaded it before, since it’s a cool video.

This quest to go investigate the Salem Museum of Witchcraft is really cool, I wish more quests had that much setup and anticipation involved. And you get it early in the game, so I’m there at I dunno what level but not very high, with a shitty Institute rifle before I knew that in Fallout 4 burst damage was king, My and MacCready’s power armor is already half wrecked from somethingorother, facing my first Deathclaw of the game outside that first Minutemen quest (but that was a wussified Deathclaw). This one’s got that little skull icon that means ‘you should probably run away’ and it’s a super tough fight.

Another collection of Fallout 4 Far Harbor screenshots. one of these days i will probably find my way back to the Commonwealth. But I really like the effect of the fog in Far Harbor. A common theme this time seems to be Dogmeat in the lower right of the picture.

Also. the Giant Hermit Crab is like the best thing ever. It’s a hermit crab with a BUS FOR A SHELL! how awesome is that?!

Been catching up on Fallout 4 recently, including Far Harbor. It is pretty, so screenshots. Also, got some hair mods, so gave Katherine a new haircut. Still have not found a suitable long hairstyle for Nathan, though. But it will be a few months at least until i even really start his playthough.

Also, finished the main quest, finally. I had been putting it off because i didn’t want to turn against any of the factions… It was kind of a tough pill to swallow, honestly. No matter which path i could have gone with, it resulted in some horrible side consequence. But i think that was kind of the point. But I did get a stylin’ new coat out of it! :p (I went for the Railroad ending. Nathan will go for the Brotherhood)

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.

I learned that Terraria had added achievements on Steam, so went in to collect some of them and loaded up my old world, with my Death Pit. I love this thing. It’s the coolest thing I built in Terraria. I know some other people have built cooler, and I know it’s not much to look at, but it works really well, and has a lot of fancy wiring and stuff going on.

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.

Now THAT is how you defend your settlement against Super Mutants. That was pure skill, not dumb luck at all. yup.

As an aside, that was using the Steam Controller, I am getting much better with it, and I have a binding that I LOVE for it now. unfortunately, Valve has not added the functionality to share links to control schemes, but I may make a post outlining the layout and how it works a bit later.

It’s begun

I just downloaded 5 mods for Fallout 4.

Lowered Weapons  - because I don’t want my huge ass Sniper Laser rifle filling up a quarter of the screen all the time

Darker Nights - Because Bethesda ALWAYS makes their nights (and dungeons) too bright. They include things like flashlights, night vision, light spells etc. but nothing is ever dark enough to NEED them. I want to need them. Just gotta wait for the darker dungeons mod that will follow in time.

Full Dialogue Interface - Because I want a better idea of what my character will say.

Value Per Weight indicator - So i know what to sell vs scrap or drop

And the big one, that prompted me to get me to the Nexus and download mods:

Craftable Ammo - Because I have a laser sniper rifle that I LOVE, but getting ammo is a bitch, and i just found a Gamma Gun that will be even MORE of a bitch to get ammo for, but plays right into my perk choices (I have 9 Intelligence, I have that power armor/rad weapons dealing double damage perk) and I am RPing as an inventor.

Just so you know where this is headed, I am a mod addict. My Skyrim has hundreds of active mods, as well as an ENB. I can not imagine playing without Frostfall or Realistic Needs and Diseases and so on, and I eagerly await similar mods to those for Fallout 4. I am holding off on the ENB for now, though. I want to see more of how Bethesda envisioned the game, and I actually quite like the look of Vanilla anyway, some outrageous bloom aside. But I am keeping my eye on this one: http://ift.tt/1MwXWVO?

There is an achievement for getting nuked? really?  I like to think the shot i fired killed him, though.

I am using the Steam controller there, too. i’m liking it a fair bit. not as accurate as the mouse, but it’s still way better than a traditional controller.

This is my Fallout 4 character. She is named Katherine, and is going to be an inventor. She has Intelligence as her primary stat, and the plan is to trick out power armor and weapons to a crazy degree in the crafting system. Her husband is modeled after one of the characters from Kent cus one of the default faces was just a few tweaks away, and I couldn’t resist. The game is good so far, though have not progressed too far yet. Encountered a couple bugs as is to be expected with a new Bethesda game, but nothing too severe. Movement got locked upon exiting the vault, but a reload fixed it, and I wasn’t getting any achievements, but some others with the same problem said they began working after a few hours, so hopefully will get them soon, but will have to replay the beginning later.

They added a trial to access Cosmic patrol zones in Marvel Heroes, and my Loki just destroyed it. Red Skull went down so fast the second Stark Sentinel couldn’t even spawn. Quite pleased with this performance.

(via 47158_2_0.jpg (JPEG Image, 3840 × 2160 pixels))

So I got this from the official website for a new desktop background, but looking closer at it there are a lot of interesting details that it seems to be hinting at as either returning or coming to the game.

First off, there is a Vault Boy bobblehead, so we will be searching for those little bastards again, most likely. And off to the right next to a rack for the good ol magazines/comics for assorted buffs, there is a Vault Tec display with a LOT of Vault Tec themed collectibles, though can’t really make out much in the way of specifics. 

Also, of course, we will again be having a companion dog, obviously.

But the interesting bit is on the back wall. In the middle is your standard laser rifle, but around it are assorted barrels, stocks, and ammo holders, which seems to imply that New Vegas’ weapon upgrades are coming back, but I dunno, this seems a bit more extensive. The Power Armor in the middle also seems to be being worked on so could we also be getting armor modifications?
