Week ending Saturday 16-March-2019

On the 12-March, I hosted an evening, 4-player game of Small World.  The scoring ended up being quite close (well, the 3 of us who didn't win scored close to each other anyway!)
Saturday the 16th was the monthly Grantham Friendly Gamers' all-day gaming session.  I managed to get in games of Canal Mania, Century: Spice Road, and Quacks of Quedlinburg.
All were enjoyable although I did terribly at each =+)
I'm also still grinding for XP a bit in Borderlands, but I do now have several good weapons (one combat rifle, one shotgun, and one sniper rifle are what I have equipped)

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 =+)

More Wolfenstein and Torchlight 2

This week I have played some more on Wolfenstein: The New Order, getting quite a way into (i've already passed 2 large firefight sections) the last chapter/level, Death's Head's Compound.  They were 2 big firefights featuring a number of mechs, plus the heavily-armoured rocket launcher troops, in with the easier-to-kil standard troops and stormtrooper-type troops.  Luckily there were still enough ammo, health and armour pickups to help me survive (I'm guessing that playing on the "easy" difficulty as opposed to "normal" helps with the number of such pickups) In Torchlight 2, I reached the roof of Vyrax's Tower dungeon, and did managed to defeat the big-boy dragon.  It was tough going but actually some of the battles earlier in the dungeon got me to lower health than i ever did in this last battle of the dungeon.  I aslo did not manage to find all of the secret rooms, so I thnk I will return to it and have a proper search around now that all the ...

Week ending Saturday 16-February-2019

On the afternoon of Friday 15th-Feb, I went to the Ludorati boardgames cafe in Nottingham with 2 friends from work - we played 2 games of plain Endeavor, a worker placement/area control game.  I came second in the first game and won the second game. On Saturday 16th, was the next of the monthly meetings of the Grantham Friendly Gamers club, where I took part in a 5-player game of Agricola complete with the Farmers of The Moor expansion.  I think this is the 3rd time I've played Agricola, and I did improve once more on both my previous attempts, having both types of crop, every type of livestock, maximum amount of fenced area, upgraded rooms in my house, and 1 extra family member. Other than that I also played some Just Cause 2 on PC during the week.
