What I’ve Been Playing – Cruisn’ the USA Edition

It's been a while since I posted about "What I'm Playing". I've done a few specific game posts but no generic ones. Mostly it's been Overwatch. Because I stopped playing Fortnite and apparently I hate myself because I can't NOT play a grindy shooter game. I'm probably not going to really talk about Overwatch. I've finished the base Ultrawatch Pass already, helped out because I bought the Ultimate pass like a sucker because it had Kaiju skins, but it had 20-level tier skips. I still have titles to try for, which is another 100 levels. I also spent my Mythic…

Some Neat Final Fantasy Swag

I'm a bit late on posting these, but they are still pretty cool. A few months ago, I went to the newly added "Side Quest Decatur" for the Midwest Toy and Comic Fest. It was the first year for the secondary even in Decatur, normally it's held in Bloomington, about an hour north. It wasn't anything super fancy, mostly just a big vendor room. I didn't end up buying much, but I did pick up these neat custom Final Fantasy items from Rusted Icon Designs. One is this slate coaster, with a fun reference to the Spony Bard line from…
Overwatch Season 11 – Super Mega Ultrawatch

Overwatch Season 11 – Super Mega Ultrawatch

Overwatch has just launched Season 11, and it's paying tribute to Tokusatsu. A lot of folks are calling it the Power Rangers season, but the designs on the sentai skins are closer to the bug eyed Kamen Rider than to Power Rangers. Power Rangers usually have a more themed helmet for each team and solid visors not bug eyes. There are also several monster skins that are more of a nod to Kaiju, though nothing super directly "Godzilla" or anything. Road Hog has probably the closest thing to a Godzilla skin and Zenyatta is wearing some dinosaur pajamas. There is…

Housekeeping Matters

It's been a bit since I've last posted, I admit. Today I mostly wanted to address a few housekeeping matters. I've moved the Letterboxd movie post syndication to Lameazoid.com. These posts were filtered from the home page and primarily serve the purpose of archiving what I post on Letterboxd. Frankly,. if you cared about these, I'd prefer a follow over there. They also now appear here on Lameazoid. They are still excluded from the main page. I post TV and movie content on Lameazoid, it's just a "better fit" over there. On the subject of "mostly for archival purposes". I…

Eclipse Adventure

In 2017, I took a trek with my parents down to Carbondale Illinois to view the total solar eclipse. While these are reasonably common occurrences, they are not super common in an area where it's easy to go see them. At this point, I've been fortunate to have two of them come nearby within a few years. We had vague plans to go back to Carbondale again for the 2024 eclipse but instead opted to go to my aunt and uncle's place in Indiana. With one big benefit being that it meant avoiding excessively pricey hotels. Last Eclipse, we stayed…

What I’ve Been Playing

I've been, really bad about keeping up on these. Oh well. Anyway, let's take a little trip down what I've been playing since uh... (checks notes) ... wow, January. I'm definitely going to forget some things. Horizon: Zero Dawn I started this one a while back, then in traditional fashion, got distracted and stopped playing it. I don't really know why, it's quite a lot of fun. I got just out of the initial starting zone and to the point where the plot started actually moving along and just sort of, got overwhelmed, I suppose. I often try not to…

Weekly Wrap Up (01.14.2024 to 01.20.2024)

Hey yo, not dead, just busy mostly. I forget if I mentioned it at all before, but starting right off at the beginning of the year I started doing some night classes through a work deal, so that has been eating up a lot of time. They run 3 nights a week for like 5 hours. The last one is on Tuesday though, so that will be over, until the next one I've signed up for at the end of February. The class currently is a CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Administrator) prep class. I am pretty sure it also includes…
