Yesterday I finally stopped stalling and did the final quest in Tears of the Kingdom. I milked that game for months, doing as much side content as I could. Very rewarding experience and I think I've got a bit of the vidya bug back.

I have around 500 games in my PS4 library just from buying things as they go on sale, but I've played maybe 5% of them.

So I installed Hogwarts Legacy this morning and I'll probably start that tonight.

Been playing Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Game for the past few days whenever I can find the time. Game is fun as hell.

Been playing the South Park PS4 games. Halfway through Fractured But Whole.

Friend is trying to get me to play Terraria lol. I've bought it but haven't played yet.

Not really my style of game by the looks of it, but its fun to go on Discord call and hang with the homies while playing.

I plugged my Sega Mega Drive II back in now that I'm finally settled in Auckland again. It just keeps on working after over 30 years. Tried TaleSpin, but it's a bit tough on 1 player (pictured: Baloo catching crabs). Road Rash II is still one of my top 5 video games ever and I know it better than riding a bicycle.

Last weekend I was interviewed about my time playing Worms, with thanks to mates TheKomodo & Mablak and this podcast they've got going. Interview starts at about the 1hr mark after some news, game footage, and getting unmuted:

worms is the best. i was thinking of trying one of these newfangled ones but i assume old school is superior.

Worms Armageddon is eternally the best given it gets updates from two community contributors. They added features such as giant maps, saved replays, and using colour maps online, plus ironed out all the glitches. It's quite a sandboxy game so players figure out their own arcane ways of playing it. I imagine it's very alienating for new players going online with it for the first time. It's weird enough for me now after having hardly played it at all in the last 15 years.

I was aware of them but hardly ever played them. The adventure games I played were the Sierra ones. Mostly Leisure Suit Larry 3, Mixed-Up Mother Goose and the original King's Quest. In Leisure Suit Larry 3 I was stuck at one particular stage for what felt like months or even longer. By the time I eventually jumped back in and figured out what I needed to do next I'd lost interest in playing it any further.

worms armageddon was always my favourite back in the day too, glad it's still so active.

lucasarts were quality ofc, i bought grim fandango on gog recently but haven't played it yet.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Grim Fandango and Day of the Tentacle were the shit.

All the Larry games were my jam in the 90's.

disco elysium 90% off in the steam sale atm

Geez, lol. Can't remember if I'd really heard anything about Bully. I was thinking maybe Colonization would still be considered a bit more offensive now, until the video got to the part with the Freak Show and people in enclosures. Then there's the shooting all the kids with a firework launcher.
