Monkey Island 2

(Posting this a couple of days late!)
This week I mostly played on Monkey Island 2.  I got a little stuck, so i had to consult a guide a couple of times - to found out how to win at the gambiling game with the wheel, in the alley on Phatt Island.  (I then won each of the 3 prizes).  I also ended up reading about how to buy stuff from the shop on Booty Island.  I am still trying to do as much of the game myself, without looking it up in a guide.
Also, on Saturday I played 2 different boardgames (Concordia and Crown Of Emara) within Tabeltop Simulator. For remote board/tabletop gaming, this is an excellent program, even if it relies on there being a good mod for the games you want to play.  In these days of the Covid pandemic, another way to play remotely is welcome. And at least when the mod you're playing has been well-made, it's an enjoyable experience, even if it does not beat/replace playing in person!
Finally, on Saturday eveing i played around 1.5 hours of Phasmophobia, a 1st-person ghost-hunting light RPG, thaty is currently in Early Access. Our first attempt, despite it supposedly being not too tough, was just insane and in the end we had to make a bit of  wild guess as to which type of spirirt we were dealing with - we got it wrong, of course.  The second mission we tried, was far more doable and we did manage to collect the full 3 types of evidence, and therefore get the spirit type correct.  We did not manage any of the extra objectives, unfortunately.  It's fun but a bit buggy right now, hopefully that will improve as development progresses.

My first post of 2021!

Well, i took a break from gaming over Christmas + just into the new year. Since then, i have done some PC gaming as well as online boardgaming, plus one solo, 4-player game of Endeavor: Age Of Sail (without the expansions though) On the PC side, i've been focusing on Max Payne 3 (now onto chapter 12, part 3) and Goodbye Deponia (managing to progress, slowly, without needing to resort to a walkthrough) Online the boardgaming sessions i've attended have varied in the games played - including Kingdomino (i won!), Cacao, a co-op card game called The Crew, and a few others.  In fact tonight we played 5-player Stone Age, with some of the expansions (the jewels resource and extra civ card space that comes with it, plus the trading level) which i managed to win, by quite a margin in the end (my end-of-game score was 152!)

Games played 13-Dec to 19-Dec

This week, I have played a little more of Mark Of The Ninja - finally reached the next level/chapter And I played some of 1954 Alcatraz early in the week - Controlling Joe, I now have him in the infirmary area, where i've managed to get out of the hospital cell and acquire a bunch of various items from the nearby area. Mostly this week, though, I've been playing Max Payne 3, in which I finished the stadium level/chapter and the bar level/chapter, and am now someway through the following level (which is hot onthe tail of the kidnappers) And also I've played quite a bit on Goodbye Deponia, having now reached the point where Rufus gets thrown off the Organon ship and lands on the junk press.  I've managed to do all this this past week without having to look up even just a hint! So I'm feeling quite proud of myself for that =+)

Monkey Island 2 completed!

This week I completed Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.  I admit there were times when I had to consuly a guide online, but luckily i found a site that only gives hints rather than full solutions, to the various puzzles in the game (think it has this for other similar titles too) I already knew a little about what happens at the end, I don't want to spoil it but it is...interesting (and not 100% obvious the meaning behind it) I've also been playing another point-and-click adventure game: Ben There, Dan That - an indie-made game from a few years ago.  I've still got a way to go on that game. Tuesday's online boardgaming involved a 5-player game of Celestia (my first of it - it's a push-your-luck game and quite fun) and a 5-player game of the co-op card trikc-taking game The Crew, in which we managed to complete...4 missions I think it was? Apparently the site we use saves your group's progress so hopefully we can carry on from there at some point. I also p
