A Legionary's Life.
The valiant legionary hears a seer foretell his future. Note the failed int roll
What is it?
The same set item Circlet (too bad it's not a nice one) dropped from two bosses in a row. I wonder what the odds are?
Gee I wonder what this could be?

Welcome to Hell?
Hell is pink now.
I hate this room.
If you intend to play Eviternity, you may not want to click and spoil episode 6:
The BFG is the first weapon you'll find here, of course.
Jump pads.
Oh shit, the Langoliers are back!
The final boss. He flies around, shoots fireballs, and has an Arch-vile flame attack.
But wait! There is more!
665 monsters enter the arena.
Well, most of them end up killing each other. No biggie.
Tip: Save some BFG ammo for his second phase.
I haven't played any other Doom WADs except TNT, so my opinion may not be worth much. But this is among the best games I've played all year. All maps are designed with pistol starts in mind, and at first I tried to beat them on UV without saves. That turned out to be too difficult for me, and I started using saves somewhere in episode 3. I will leave it as a future challenge and an excuse to play this WAD again (still managed to beat a few of the shorter levels without dying anyway). There were some mean traps here and there, but it never felt unfair. Lots of "advanced" techniques are required, like monster infighting, crowd control, BFG mastery, etc. Probably all basic stuff for Doom veterans, but I had to git gud for this WAD. Cool soundtrack. Some memorable moments like the huge Cacodemon wave in episode 3. And that final episode...

Gujian 3 got an English version this month, it's basically a "AA" Chinese RPG:
Seems to be entirely linear, but has a good combat, decent story and a a cool protagonist. I'm really enjoying it

Can't wait for Ori 2!
Blair Witch Volume 1: Rustin Parr
I've closed again my first case of Blair Witch trilogy, and it still hold up well. What is really interesting, is how Terminal Reality combined their Nocturne universe with BW mythos. We have our old friends from Spookhouse agency, but we don't control Stranger like before. Instead we play as a research scientist Elspeth "Doc" Holliday. This time instead of werewolves, vampires, zombies and other monstrosities we fight with something different. Here is where the connection with the original BW movie starts, but in the year 1941. I've never liked it, but here everything just clicks together. The survival horror with adventure elements with great atmosphere build up thanks to camera angles and light/shadow usage is superb. The story slowly develops, as we are building up the case. The sense of dread and isolation, being subjugated by it, it never makes cheap jokes and keeps you focused. Well, apart from a little nod to Twin Peaks series. Also soundtrack made by Kyle Richards helps being immersed in the game world. I heard that later parts aren't that good, but I've decided to finish all of them.
There is only one problem regarding running it on modern systems. The map screen is only available to view in lower resolution. While the main game can have way higher one, it can result in showing a gibberish on the screen that will make it unplayable. The only quick fix I have found is to alt+tab and return to the game. Or just play in lower resolution to match the one that is used on the map. Probably dgvodoo fixes that, but it was too late for me to test it. I write this, because at first venturing through the woods can be really confusing and make it harder, than it really is.

Finally found a KO rune for my Bowazon, and I made nice new crossbow:
Unfortunately it's bugged.
My character skids weirdly, and can't hit a thing with this bow.
I guess there are some disadvantages to using the 1.09 patch...

I remember Ultima 7 looking a bit different.

Is this achievable with in-game settings or did you manually fuck up the texture files?
it's achievable with laptop nvidia MX250 at lowest setting, even with this setting the laptop fan is spinning like crazy to cool it down.

Why tho? Does texture size really affects perfomance so much that this prosperization is worth it? I played on a pretty shitty machine and just rolling down effects/shadows/AA was enough to make it run alright
Progressing nicely, I think we're level 6 now.
hoooly shit!! Are you running the game on a toaster?
