Fortnite Mobile

I've shifted back to Fortnite from Overwatch,   Maybe.  Probably.  Anyway, the newest Fortnite Season is a pretty sweet Marvel themed season with a Marvel BP, which is way more exciting than the upcoming Overwatch BP, which is, kind of hodge-podgey, sort of Ancient Egypt? Also, no Venture Skin for like 3 more seasons.  What the fuck Blizzard? AnywayI'm not really here to discuss Overwatch or the Marvel season of Fortnite.  What also dropped this season is the return of Fortnite Mobile.  Currently available in the EU on iPhones and on Android Phones anywhere, through the Epic Launcher.  This is key,…

Sky Children of the Light 5th Anniversary

With the 5th Anniversary even now closed out, I wanted to take a moment to share some random shots and comments on the various activities. I didn't spend as much time in the game doing things as I feel like I should have, but also, it was a bit chaotic, which kind of feels like a regular problem for some of these events. I did not realize until last minute that the portals took you to the special gallery areas. I think for the most part, I managed to catch everything at least once. There were the two wireframe galleries,…

2024 Days of Color in Sky:CotL

I have been playing Sky for a few years now but somehow I have missed the Days of Color event. Twice I think even. I have been waiting for this one to come along, for kind of a dumb reason, it's the only way to (non hacky) access the space way up above the 8 Person Door puzzle area. The Days of Color is essentially Sky's Pride Event for Pride Month. Everything is rainbow themed. In fact, it was originally called Days of Rainbow. There are a bunch of Rainbow themed cosmetics available during this event and, like the recent…

LEGO Fortnite First Impressions

Fortnite is launching several new game modes with the advent of Chapter 5. The impression I've gotten is that these are supposed to be more or less permanent fixtures like Battle Royale and Save the World. The first of which to drop was LEGO Fortnite. This one kind of feels like the largest one because it includes LEGO Mini figure versions of many many skins and completely new gameplay in large worlds. Not all of the skins have LEGO versions, but they seem to plan to add them all over time. If you already own a particular skin, then you…

Fortnite Big Bang Event

What a ridiculous letdown. Especially after all the build-up. Last season's end with Fracture was lame but at least there was things to DO and some story stuff happened. Let's start with the build-up. As is standard, there was a special event at a specific time, in this case 1p, my time, CST (all times CST). I logged in a half hour early, which was the suggested lead time from Epic, and was greeted with a queue wait, of 90 minutes. I let it go, thinking maybe it would jump ahead faster, but nope. 1 pm came and went. Eventually,…
