What a week huh
The day before drama, valve failing at cs again and again and posting coal in dota, e3 officially gone, there's something about skull and bones, vitality winning blast and 40 streamers managed to clear classic world of warcraft content without dying (the hardest feat in gaming) sooooo ...

Game to Discuss?
As I've just seen a clip from a S-tier qualifier game where someone lost the final match because they didn't know a 25 year old mechanic (pro RTS players btw ) I'll declare Age of Empires 2 the game of the week!
This week's entry will be Age of Empires 2
Take control of a powerful civilization. Lead them through 1000 years of the Middle Ages to riches and greatness. Will you Intimidate the world into following you by using military force? Rule the world with honor and nobility by using commerce and diplomacy? Or Underhandedly seize power through conspiracy, deception and regicide? There are many paths to power, there can only be one ruler!

I didn't get much time to play video games last week, but I've had a bit more time this week!
I've been continuing to pick up where I left off with Skyrim, and have now finished the Dark Brotherhood quests, in addition to the main quest. I was surprised at how quickly the main quest wrapped up - from capturing Odahviing to defeating Alduin is pretty much one straight shot. I also did the Companions questline, but it was pretty short and all told I rushed through it because I didn't like being a werewolf!
This leaves me with just the civil war and a few side quests to finish up, before I do the Dragonborn DLC and finish the game in its totality. So far I've clocked in an embarrassing 300 hours over 5 years with this save, and the crazy thing is I kinda want to do it all over again.
But instead, perhaps I will finally go to the effort of modding Oblivion to the point where it's playable today. I did actually get most of the way there with that project like maybe 7 or 8 years ago, but there was still stuff to do. What I never got round to doing was changing the terrible leveling system, by which I mean both that leveling your skills was completely counterintuitive and that past a certain level, every random bandit would be running around with top-tier gear.
Other than that, I've played a little Assetto Corsa since there have been some pretty interesting mods drop recently (some 90s touring cars and 60s sports cars) - and I played some more Forza Horizon 5 and Anno 1800 with my friends. The difficulty in Forza Horizon 5 seems super uneven, but at least on this go around we didn't have terrible network problems like last time.
Wanna get back to RimWorld as soon as I get a big block of free time, perhaps over the Christmas holiday. But I've got a few other things I really want to check out too.
