It's Time
Hello Strangers :D
You might not remember me as a few months ago I kind of just dropped off the face of the earth and limited my Steamgifts presence to entering a few giveaways and posting every now and then in the discussions. This was due to University leveling up for NG+ But now having completed my last exam yesterday, oral exams are super weird, I am ready to devote a lot more time to killing the backlog menace :D
Things that have happened these last few months:
I won a few more games on Steamgifts namely Stardew Valley, Rebel Galaxy and Shadow Complex Remastered
I then promptly started playing Stardew Valley and talked 4 people into buying it :D
I also purchased a two new games namely Ryse: Son of Rome and Valiant Hearts during the Autumn Sale as well as a number of Endless Legend DLC’s
I also purchased the Mass Effect Trilogy on Origin because every gamer should own them :D
Had both my life and Steamgifts cake days
Purchased and have been playing a lot of Battlefield 1, as it is easy to just hop in quickly in the evening. The 200 ping sucks but South Africa is getting servers early 2017 which will be dope :D
Went to Hong Kong for a short 5 day holiday
I am currently playing Stardew Valley, but on the list for this holiday is The Witcher Trilogy. I feel like I will enjoy The Witcher 1 if I just keep going through the initial phase of the game. It is just tough to get into :( I have heard a lot about The Last of Us so I borrowed a PS4 from a friend to play that this weekend so I might not make much progress with Stardew Valley.
My series backlog is a lot more manageable :D Started and finished Westworld which was an absolutely brilliant series and I highly recommend it to anyone.
Vikings, New Girl, Brooklyn Nine Nine and The Walking Dead started again which has been great so I need to catch up on those episodes.
So excited for Sherlock and Grim starting early Jan 2017 XD XD XD
Excited for the holiday, it has been a long time coming. Sorry for the long post, the next ones will be shorter and have pictures XD

Griff3nZA initiates a goosebumps walkaway
Its super effective
Wait… who are you again?
Some time some of these members here have to tell me their little secret for winning games. :)
GASP. Um…. Ouch.
Well I won those after a 6 month dry spell so you should rather talk to TSO184 or SadisticChicken for pointers ;) They are more consistent.
Nice to see you back! I remember your first post, you were experimenting with your post layout if I recall correctly.
It’s great that you’ve got a chance to play The Last of Us, I’ve heard the remastered version on PS4 looks fantastic. Hopefully you’ll have enough time to finish it if you only have it for the weekend. Enjoy your holidays!
That is 100% correct :D I decided thought that I am just going to make blog posts and not try anything because I think it will get tiring fast…
Luckily he is only taking it back on Wed. But I have been catching up on series so I haven’t had time to play today ALSO considering I have just finished exams I am kinda seeing a lot of people so I might need to borrow it again XD
I don’t think I know you yet, so welcome to BLAEO! ;)
Nice SG wins, good luck with not getting stuck on Stardew Valley forever haha!
Thanks Lucky :D I feel welcome :D
Yeah, I was super chuffed with Rebel Galaxy and Stardew Valley particularly. So far I am like 34 hours in and it is great. Getting tired of actually farming though XD so I spend a lot of time in the mines. But it is a great game :D
Witcher 1 IMO has terrrible combat system. It looks more like rhytmic game, than RPG game (either with turn-based or action combat). And 2nd part is “rolling simulator”. Hope combat in W3 is better.
And hope you will like ME trilogy. And that they will at last make some normal sale for DLCs.
Hahaha yeah hence why I think I just need to get used to the combat and I will enjoy the story. I have heard great things about TW3 and from what I have seen looks more like 3RD person Skyrim than Witcher 1 :D
I love the ME trilogy, I have played it a few times already as each new game needed saves from the old game :D Kinda want to play them to get amped for Andromeda :D I originally had it on Xbox so I needed them for PC.
Great GIF by the way. We can be friends :D
It’s a rare fellow countryman sighting. I feel you on the ping. Worse is that everyone you’re playing with has no problem with killing you easily thanks to the delay but the minute you start killing them, suddenly the reason is because you’re a dirty lagger and you get vote kicked for “high ping”.
Yeah also loading times and finding a server that everyone in the party is at approximately the same ping also it super frustrating.
