That squeaking noise is 2019 slowly deflating within the nook. You’re finished now, noble 12 months. Thanks for making an attempt. Uh-oh, I’m getting introspective and thinky. I’d higher distract myself. With the vacations all however over, how did you handle to outlive them? Tell me what you performed and what kind of enjoyable you had. I’ll go first! I survived with Portal 2.
I spent a great chunk of time on Discord with my oldest and bestest good friend. We have a small ritual of enjoying coop games over the vacations, barely acknowledging the passing of time as we bicker and giggle collectively. We are each over 40.
We performed a few extremely robust Portal 2 group maps with a restricted success fee. But that’s okay as a result of I discover the potential for catastrophe in co-operative puzzling completely hilarious, and normally crumble into snotty laughter at the least as soon as a session. All it takes is the fallacious portal on the fallacious time and I’m ineffective for the following 5 minutes, which occurred once I was speculated to portal fling my sprinting good friend over a chasm, however he slammed into the wall at excessive pace. I used to be finished for the night time.
The actual revelation this 12 months has been Deep Rock Galactic. It wasn’t on our record of deliberate games, however on a whim we downloaded it. It’s a game about mining via a sequence of procedurally generated caverns, grabbing minerals and preventing off waves of insectoid cave dwellers.
We’re each solely a few ranges deep into the development system, however I have already got a garish mining uniform and a cranium for a head. The flamethrower that the Driller carries is among the greatest weapons I’ve ever used, and fills the tunnels with beast basting fireplace. We’re planning to proceed.
And tonight we’ll be enjoying Raft collectively as a result of nothing can go fallacious in a shark-filled ocean when you’ve your BFF proper by your aspect.
