Sup, gamer bros. Welcome to Monday Post #075. Is it weird that I am often looking forward to spending half of my working day on writing and putting together this crap? It's like, "how possibly can I start my week without publishing the Monday Post first?" ^_^

This week has been very productive so I can't complain on that front :) I spent it mostly doing the writing for the Episode 08. Almost done. Unfortunately "almost done" and "completely done" is not the same thing though :) I'll have to work on the writing some more. Hopefully will be done by Wednesday.


I <3 my Switch. Like I mentioned before I am done with Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I decided to take a break and leave Torna The Golden Country for later. Next on the list was Valkyria Chronicles 4, so that's what I am playing right now. The only other VC game I ever played was the VC2 for PSP. So far I am really enjoying the game. It's not perfect, of course, but I absolutely love the characters and am having a lot of fun following their adventures. Only about 10 hours into the game so far. Also I freaking love Raz ^_^

Safe space this Monday post is. Grammar my weakness is :) Seriously though, don't let these random (but awesome) screenshots from my favorite Swicth games fool you. I am a super professional and uber serious artist. Here is some proof. Moving on.

Speaking of which, this week I am sharing that Hermione pic that was deemed unworthy and didn't make the cut. Here is the preview and the high resolution version is in the attachment.

I can't share all the variations in the public post because you-know-why. So there will be a patrons-only post this week, with a PSD and multiple CGs from the actual game (that I later replaced with the current ones). As you can see it's not a THAT bad. I poured quite a few hours into this one, but I was feeling like crap while working on it, and a week later when I felt much better I looked at it and decided that I can do better. 

With that out of the way, let's talk about games some more! ^_^ Peach Ball is dropping in two days. As many of you know I am a true man of culture, so naturally I've been looking forward to this one for quite some time. Just thinking about being able to play this family friendly gem in two days makes me all very excited ^^ Thank you, my new true god: NINTENDO.

The work. I need to at least try to maintain the facade of professionalism here, so let's talk about work some more. It's been 2 week since Episode 07 was released for the patrons. Like I mentioned before this past week was all about the creative writing part of the production. To me personally it's the most emotionally draining process. So I am happy to be almost done with it. Also I would like to say that I am very exited about episode 08 and can't wait to see what you guys will think of it. Coming soon*

Back to talking about games! Fire Emblem: Three Houses, this freaking game... I've been quietly anticipating the release for a couple of months now. Honestly, everything I hear about this game makes my blood boil with excitement. And now we are only few weeks away from the release! I am gonna romance EVERYONE in this game! Students, teachers, bros! I don't care! Did you already choose the house you will play for? ^^

IELTS. So I took my IELTS test and all I have to do now is wait for the results to arrive. I just hope it's not lower than my previous score (6.5, many years ago). But I don't know... I wrote some pretty dumb crap during my writing test and said some pretty dumb crap during my speaking test. I mean at the end of my essay on "the usage of DVD-Players against the usage of CD-Players in England": I literally wrote: "Honestly I have no idea what I am talking about here, just trying to go over the 250+ words requirement I guess. Thank you for reading through all this. And sorry about my handwriting". Yeah... There is a slight chance that people at Cambridge have good sense of humor but I wouldn't bet on it. I think my habit to break the forth wall every freaking time I have to write something may have cost me extra point here. Well, we'll see soon enough :)

OK, I think this will do. I know this post was super heavy on my personal feels about games and such but I hope you don't mind me herding out a bit for a change :)

Don't forget to leave a comment I read all of them and try to reply to all of them. See you next week. Love you all. No homo.

It's been awhile since I've last commented on any of your posts Akabur, and I have to say man your work ethic is amazing! You finished Episode 7 so fast I literally almost missed out on it until I saw the Android post on it! And now that you are almost done with Episode 8 is amazing stuff! It sure is a different flow than I am used to, one where there used to be a very long wait and then a sudden huge load of new content versus a small but constant stream of content. I guess I am one of those weird people who don't mind how content gets put out either a long wait and then a huge new episode or little episodes for little wait time, just so long as you keep fighting the good fight by putting out new content you've always got a loyal fan here. Stay safe brother! :)

I hope time what I would spend on Xenoblade2 would be enough until episode 8 come out. But I still need to wait for co-worker buy a physical copy in his town -_-

I can see what you mean with that picture being unworthy now that you said so, but can you explain why you thought so yourself ^^? Just a question of my own interest really. I cant really pinpoint whats wrong... maybe the mouth being a bit strange?

biggest surprise at E3 for me was Baldurs gate 3, man the last one come out in 1998 so I've waited a long time and it looks like it's in good hands too with Lurain studios heading up the project...

Fantastic piece, thanks for sharing

Honestly they may give you points for bullsh*ting like a proper english speaker lol! At least you're honest! Glad you got some games you're enjoying, and keep up the good work! Another week, another awesome post!

LOL best Monday post to date 10/10 Also best wishes and fingers crossed for you on the test, hell I'll cross my toes as well if it will get you that point on the question about DVD vs CD players (FYI, DVD's play movies or commonly hold data for computer use, CD's are used exclusively for music. Also this question is out of date because who uses physical media any more?)

You write monday posts week after week, but once you ask for comments I don't know what to say ;) Keep being awesome!

I still need to finish the original VC.

"When one platform has the ability to meet and exceed the ability of it's predecessor, one is bound to see the decline of the older, outdated hardware." That's one way to sum up that arguement. Still, best of lunch, AKABUR. Yo know enough English to appease this American, so deal with it.. also butts are hard to resist. I feel his pain.

I am balls deep in Final Fantasy 14's newest expansion, but I can always take a break for the next episode! Looking forward to it!

akabur

Dorago ^_^ Less then two week till The Houses release. This hype train has no brakes! ^^ Thank you for your support, man :)

akabur

Hey, dude :) Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I am trying to release new episodes more frequently these days ^^ And thank you for being understanding about the longer development times. For me personally breaking episodes into smaller parts is way less stressful, so I plan to stick to more frequent, smaller episodes for now :) Anyway thank you for your kind words, man.

akabur

Xenoblade 2 is a huge game and can take you as long as you want to. I beat it in close to 100 hours I think (don't remember the exact number) and I know I missed a lot of side quests and many many blades. And there is a New Game+ too, so. Maybe Episode 08 will be out even before you beat the game ^^

akabur

Hard to say. It sort of just a gut feeling. I look at the picture and when it lacks the oomph :) Also I thought an extreme close up would look good, but eventually I begun to dislike it.

akabur

Oh, yeah. Baldur Freaking Gates 3, man. And it is being made by the Original Sin people, right?

akabur

Nah... Canada is out of question now... T_T But I am considering other options... The South-East of part of the world maybe ^^

akabur

The Best? Really? ^_^ Thank you for your crossed fingers. I got 7.5 points. It's a good result. I'm happy :)

akabur

Hey, I do "proof of life" Monday Posts sometimes. So you can always do "proof of life" comment. It is only logical XD

akabur

Thankfully you can get it easily both on PS and Switch these days. And I think PC also. I myself never played it though. I heard it's very good though.
