Happy May everyone!
Now let's talk about shit that went down in April, because we've already gone over this.
April consisted of playing Dark Souls. Like, a lot of Dark Souls. When last I talked about it earlier in April, I had 23 hours with my current character Bjorn and presently I'm at 57 hours and at level 71. Since then, I've managed to kill the Capra Demon, Gaping Dragon (who's had probably the best boss intro in recent years; spoilers), Chaos Witch Quelaag, the Hydra of Darkroot Basin, Pinwheel, the Iron Golem, and now I'm starting to explore Anor Londo. I still haven't figured out ranged archery though, and at this point, I'm too afraid to start. Or something like that. If I have enough time, I'll hopefully finish the game this month, or at least make it near enough to the end to call it finished (not talking beating all the bosses or getting to New Game +6).
In D&D news, our group finished Lost Mine of Phandelver, which I will fully (mostly?) cover in Friday's article, so stay tuned for that if you're at all interested. We might be playing in a couple of weeks too as all of our summer schedules seemed to be filling up (or already so), which means we might be starting this quest that I wrote last year, The Taking of the Dawn. It's obviously not a licensed product and it's not up on DMsGuild.com either as I believe that I have too much material that was not included in the SRD. . .or wait. . .maybe I can? I'll have to further look into that. And doesn't that artwork (that I "borrowed" from somewhere on the Internets) look pretty similar to this screen from Dark Souls III? The quest just needs a little tweaking before we start. Ah, if only more time existed within time itself.
In mobile gaming, I've been playing/interacting with Nintendo's Miitomo and raking in as many Miitomo coins as I possibly can (averaging about 15 a day) so that I can "buy" games in Nintendo's eShop. So far I've acquired WarioWare: Touched and Nintendo Picross: The Lengend of Zelda: Twilight Princess all for the low-low price of $0 + personal time. I'll probably put out an article about one or both of those games as I am fully enjoying both the games and their relative freeness. I'm also delving bit-by-bit into Fantasy Life, although I'm currently having an issue with a pirate ship, but I'm convinced that I maybe just missed something somewhere.
In other geeky-pop-culture relatedness, Game of Thrones season 6 just aired episode 2 and whoo-wee was it a doozey. No spoilers here, but I will say that something happened that I was really hoping wouldn't happen. Some things are happening that I thought should have happened in the previous season, and some things are happening differently than the books because it's a TV show and a different medium and they have to happen that way. But, so far I am enjoying this new season and being more-or-less completely in the dark about the story after A Dance with Dragons. Hmmm, I just realized that there was no Daenerys' storyline in last night's episode. And Conklederp and I are eagerly awaiting the second half of Vikings season 4.
Alright, that's all I can think of to blab at y'all this morning, which is about to turn into this afternoon in about 10 minutes.
