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,…

What I’ve Been Playing – Light-Based Lore Edition

I kind of want to do these weekly, but I don't really know if I rotate my game interests enough these days to do them weekly. I just wish I could get more consistent, though I have no one to blame by myself. Though part of the desire to do these sorts of posts was to maybe, encourage more variety in my gaming habits. I think part of the reason I don't have much variety lately is that, anymore, I play games to fill time more than for enjoyment these days. It's certainly not for lack of options of things…

Fortnite Desperately Needs More Preset Slots

There are currently 100 slots available. Given the sheer number of items available there really needs to be a larger limit. Each battle pass has 7-8 new skins added, each with different styles and colors, which can drastically change the skin enough that it's basically two skins. One could easily want several pre sets for the same skin. This doesn't even get into buying skins from the shop. I like to change skins a lot and I have a lot of pretty alright set-ups. I really wish I could have more though. It's easy enough to change skins, but then…

What I’ve Been Playing – Better Late than Never Edition

So I meant to be way more regular on these things but I've kind of failed at that. Two reasons mostly, I suppose. One, often I decide I want to do a full write up on something instead of a brief write up in one of these posts. Two, mostly I have just been playing Fortnite. I actually want to go on a bit of a tangent regarding Fortnite and Sky, Children of the Light, and paid seasonal passes. I posted a series of posts on Sky: CotL recently. I'd been meaning to write them all out for a while,…

What I’ve Been Playing Recently

I wonder if those titles should be more distinct or if it even matters. Anyway, I "completed" one game this week. Actually I sort of "beat" two games, but I forget how I have counted the Fortnite Battle Passes. Let's call it one for now. The Fortnite BP technically goes to Level 200. F.I.S.T: Forged In Shadow Torch Man, that acronym. Someone really wanted it to stand for FIST. This was one of the free games from Epic over the Holidays that they push every year. It looked interesting from the animal characters and Steampunkish design then I noticed it's…
