Robin Williams and Gaming Ventures
Long time, no post. I'm deeply heartbroken over the loss of Robin Williams. He was my favorite actor when I was a kid. I think I even did a report on him in school once. Asked me who my favorite actor was back then and my answer was him. He brought me so many memories and laughter over the years. I'm sorry he was unable to get the help he needed and I hope he's at peace now. Depression is an awful thing. I know I suffer from bouts of it, Dysthymia probably could describe it. It's probably mostly triggered by anxiety. That kind of non-serious, mild, but long term chronic depression. Yeah, it's been going on for years. I know that's not in the DSM any more, but still...and Depression runs in my family. My maternal grandfather committed suicide before I was born, my maternal grandmother tried to kill herself twice. And from what I understand, my brother has been going through depression lately as well as his wife. It's an ugly thing that can eat you alive. I've never been at that suicidal place, but that's because of having my mom around. She may be the only reason keeping me alive. I don't know what will happen when she's gone. I'd rather not think about it. My thoughts and prayers go out to Robin Williams's family and friends.
So, getting away from that subject.... I pretty much have done everything I could or wanted to do in Fallout: New Vegas. I ended it by running around planting C-4 all over the place and watching people fly as I exploded them lol, and then of course I jumped off Hoover Dam to my death. The no clipping cheat is always fun. It lets you walk on air, get to high places you can't climb up. Fun. But this all gets boring after a while and so I was ready to move on. I did make one gameplay video of the "jump" of doom
I installed Bioshock Infinite, however I might find myself abandoning it soon even in the beginning because it's too hard for me. Combat isn't one of my strengths. Sure I got through Bioshock just fine, but this seems more difficult. Also there aren't really any cheats I can use, so I may end up quitting it today. Shame really because I want to see the story, and Columbia is one of those game worlds I wish I could visit in real life. It's beautiful.
So in that case, I'll probably be installing American McGee's Alice: The Madness Returns next. This one I think has a cheat I can use if I need to, but if that doesn't work out, then it will be back to adventure games for me. It will either be something new or old. I haven't decided yet.
I won't be too upset if neither of these games work out for me because I'm sure my parents will enjoy them. I got my mom into the Bioshock series :) Waste of birthday gifts for me though lol. I should have known better, but I really thought I would be able to use a cheat. That's why I usually check to see if a game has cheats first before buying. I can't get through them on my own most of the time because well...my reaction time isn't getting any better and I just have to put up with it. I do always try first to get through the game without cheating. That worked for Bioshock, but most games it doesn't because I'm THAT pathetic.
Oh well, if I had a wish, I'd wish for superior gaming skills, but for now point and click adventure games will always be my favorite genre.
