Replaying arkham city for kicks now that there's a mod to let you play in Bruce Wayne mode. I notice these days I got zero interest in playing as any dude wearing a mask or hood unless I can mod that out. Getting more barbarian as I age, I guess.

Finished Oxenfree. A supernatural thriller that's really a teenage drama. It's short (cca 4 h) so play it in one go otherwise you'll soon forget what the dull story's about.

What happens to his gadgets? Does he shoot his grappling hook from his zipper or something?

ASSES 2063 is pretty good. Puts pretender shitgames like Ion Fury to total shame.

I also like how this was made by an autist who decided guns need different reload animations when reloaded from 0 and >0 ammo counts.

Kinda burned out of FPS and want to play something different, Halo: CE playthrough is on hold for now.
Never played any warhammer fantasy tabletop in my life but i have been quite enjoying SOVL as of late. It's a pretty neat WHFB-like game which you can download for free on steam.
Already played it some time ago but the dev introduced a bunch of new stuff since the last time i played.

Progress in Banjo Kazooie:

Treasure Trove Cove: 100/100 notes, 10/10 jigsaw pieces
Mumbo's Mountain: 100/100 notes, 10/10 jigsaw pieces
Clanker's Cavern: 100/100 notes, 10/10 jigsaw pieces
Bubblegloop Swamp: 100/100 notes, 10/10 jigsaw pieces
Freezeezy Peak: 100/100 notes, 9/10 jigsaw pieces
Gobi's Valley: 100/100 notes, 8/10 jigsaw pieces
Gruntilda's Lair: 7/10 jigsaw pieces

So there is still Click Clock Wood, Mad Monster Mansion (where I'm headed now) and that dock level with the ship left. What's weird is that I remember the dock level coming before Monster Mansion. I remember Click Clock Wood being last. The puzzle that opens the door to the dock level must be hiding from me somewhere in the lair.

Against my better judgement I decided to replay Deus Ex: Invisible War.
And what do you know, it's nowhere near as bad as some make it out to be.
Yes, the decline in overall quality from the original and monumental Deus Ex is very noticeable, but it is still pretty decent.
Being designed for the console really killed its potential for greatness.
Anyway, gameplay has been dumbed down, with the worst offender being the "Universal Ammo"...
There's also the loading screens, smaller maps, the absolutely dumb stealth system that just doesn't seem to want to work properly, augmentations have also been gutted and are now "biomods", I like the regeneration and speed biomods, along with the black market one that allows you to hack security terminals and disable/control cameras and turrets.
Now I'm in the Cairo hub.
Not exactly a cyberpunk location, huh?

Nope just pulls it out of his pockets like the Bat.

Reinstalled Unreal Tournament 2004 with some custom maps and there's so much to explore. I'll always be mad at the idiots for canceling the new one. And still playing D2R and Guild Wars 2 occasionally.

It's so sad and disappointing because it's such a simplified letdown compared to the original AND in some ways it's still so much better than most of the drivel available.

Yeah, I'll play Deus Ex: Invisible War over any of the stuff coming out nowadays no problem.

Ever heard of or played Neighbours from Hell?
A funny little game, I'm playing it for old times sake.

I've seen a lot of praise for this game, but I've never actually seen much about the game itself beyond it being a puzzle game. Could you explain?

It's a comedy puzzle game.
You have to pull some tricks on your fat neighbour (for example dropping a wet soap on the floor so that he'll trip and fall). Each mission has a number of tricks. If you perform several in quick succession you gain a +3 bonus to your total score which can be 100 if you also complete all tricks. There's also a timer on each mission.
You CANNOT be in the same room as he is, otherwise he will catch you, kick your ass and you will fail the mission. He also has pets in the later Season 2 and 3 missions. You have to sneak past them, else they will alert him and he'll quickly come to check out what's going on. You can also just run past them if you want to risk it, but be aware of the neighbour's routine...
Play it yourself, it's pretty hilarious.

There is also sequel where instead of trying to ruin his laundry day or something you're out to get him on his vacation. Later levels has you dealing with his mom too.
These games used to be fairly popular from what i remember. They even spawned a few imitators but i don't know anything about them.

Never played the second game.
Is it as good as the original?

It's good too. Most notable differences are the aforementioned mom, 4 or so distinct locations compared to one house, a mini-game when trying to perform tricky actions and a life system(being seen by neighbor or his mom is not an instant game over).

I'm now in the Trier area of Deus Ex: Invisible War.
It's rather sad that the core gameplay is still PURE Deus Ex - vent crawling, stairs, alternate routes, cameras and turrets, but the locations are smaller due to the game design seeking to accomodate the console.
Also the stealth system in this game is really not implemented properly at all.
This truly could've been so much more of a better game.
Still proper cyberpunk. All the endings of Deus Ex were made "canon" by IW, so the world is pretty much screwed, people struggling to survive, nations being replaced with city states, fanatical organizations cropping up all over the place, commercial flying being almost nonexistent.

Fallout 2. Looks like in the steam version I'm playing implant upgrades don't work, only their base versions. A shame. Also I remember now I've had trouble seeing practical implications of being a box champion in some old run.
