The Evil Within Twitch Troubles and Other Things

Sup bitches?

It's been a REALLY long time since I could sit down and game.  Like an obscenely long time.  Last I remember, I was playing Remember Me, and Burial at Sea, and then...all of a sudden... it all went dark.  I must have disappeared for weeks, months?  All I know is here I am, with a copy of The Evil Within in my hands, and I can feel life breathing back into me.

No, but really, I've been super busy.

A lot has happened that I'm not going to bore folks with, but I've been in a big cloudy haze of stress.  Last night my friend popped over to get some help with her jewelry, and instead of helping me pack, she came bearing gifts of Chinese take out and an insistence that we play my new game.  She'd been watching it on Youtube and she was dying to see me play it.

So we did.

And it.

Was.

AWESOME.

I only got about a half hour in before screaming baby, husband going off to work, and mind-wrecking anxiety kicked in, but I DID IT.  And I'm going to play it more TONIGHT!  :D

(My "let's do this" face.)

I did get several more screenshots to share with y'all, which I will post up here just as soon as I get 'em off the PS4.  Which is currently taking half an hour to transfer two videos to USB storage.

Which brings me to my next point...

Phone internet fucking sucks.

For the next 2-3 weeks I still live out in the boonies, which means I have no internet.  "BUT SATELLITE INTERNET" scream the masses.  Nope.  Did you know satellite internet providers sometimes limit the number of users per area they will provide to?  Totes true.  Did you know they also go by stupid-long contracts that are useless if you're about to move in a few weeks?  Also true, I swear.  Did you know their speeds also blow chunks?  I'm not lying, y'all.

Anyways, I've been using tethered internet from my phone when I absolutely need it.  It's great up until 5gb, but has a tendency to clip out a lot thanks to, you know, being out in the middle of nowhere.  So it works for streaming TV if you pause it a bunch to buffer.  But it does not work so well for streaming uploads like Twitch.

So I haven't been too Twitchy lately.

But I will be.

Because the new house is IN town and has BADASS internet options that will let me chop my phone bill in half and just use wifi 24/7.

I'm so psyched.

(My "need internet now" face.)

So for now I'm recording my gameplay and I'll upload as I can to Youtube for folks to watch me fumble around in Evil Land.  When I get further into the game, I'll also, talk about it, or something, too.

Much with the talking.

K, bye.




HOLY CRAP I NEVER TALKED ABOUT WHISTLEBLOWER?!?!?!  OKAY REMIND ME LATER.  I HAVE SUCH THINGS TO SAY.
SUCH THINGS TO SHARE.
SUCH.
THINGS.

The In-Between Time

Okay, yes, I COULD play the other two bits of Bioshock Infinite DLC that are just waiting for me, but I don't wanna.  Why?  Because Outlast: Whistleblower comes out in just a few days and I'll only have nine days to play it before I whoosh away out of town, so I don't really wanna delve into the heartwrenching cerebral fornication that is Bioshock right beforehand.

It's the in-between time.

The palate-cleansing that is dabbling in Mercenary Kings (stupidly, inexplicably addictive, also boob-jiggle) helps.  Also there was the little add-on level Bank Heist for Thief, which kind of wasn't worth the money, but hey, extra gameplay!  And...boob...jiggle?

Nope.

No batmanboobjiggle.

But there WAS this:

That's right, bitches.
Every.  Single.  GODDAMN.  ASH.  FUCKING.  TRAY.

YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Oh, and while we're talking about Thief, here, have a floating pipe (because I am an EXPERT at breaking this game and all other technology):

You found a PIPE!

Hey by the way.  PS4 dropped some mad share updates to the system pretty recently, so there's that to tinker with, too.  And tinker I did.  Not only can you save things to a USB now, which is a HUGE improvement since Facebook and Twitter are not, in fact, the only social platforms out there, you can now archive streaming sessions, tweak the amount of time the PS4 records gameplay automatically, edit/add commentary/splice videos in SHAREfactory, and adjust a host of other settings system-wide.

Check out a summary of the updates on the Playstation blog here, and the specific details of version 1.70 can be found right here.

So, of course, I made this:

I like it.

I like it a lot.

This shall provide me with entertainment while I await my beloved Whistleblower.



Last but not least, remember how I said I was getting some aftermarket grips to compensate for Peely McPeelerson the Controller?  I did, and they rule.  (I know the left one looks like it isn't sitting straight, but it settled down after playing. I didn't remove the torn up rubber from the Dualshock before popping it on there.)

O'Plaza grips, bought through Amazon here

I'm ready for you, Whistleblower.  I'm done in-betweening.  I'm ready for a commitment.  Let's do this.  Let's run away together.

TAKE ME.

TAKE ME NOW.
