Chamberlain and Chance

Alex has finally proved that he cooler than either Chamberlain and Chance by arriving late and leaving early. He has also managed to recap his losses after the foul internet eating his Risk of Rain 2 save. Chance continues his tour of the past, playing through Dishonored 2 in its entirety, managing to not kill anyone. Such restraint is to be applauded. And Chamberlain got to the very end of Outriders before lowering the difficulty to put the game out of its misery.

This week Chamberlain has shirked his sacred responsibility of watching one movie a week, opting for the intellectual slumming of a two night WrestleMania. This means he has to watch two whole movies before next week on top of trying to wrap up Outriders, which is actually getting better. Chance spreads his time out across many games, none of which are from this generation. And Alex has a once in a lifetime run in Risk of Rain 2 before his save is eaten by internet goblins.

Alex has the week off, involuntarily. No, we didn't kick him out, why would you even think that. This week Chamberlain is playing Outriders, a Destiny like game with Gears of War like combat that isn't as good as either of them. Chance plays a whole lot of games, spending the most time with Days Gone. Pretty soon he will be cruising the Canadian countryside on a motorcycle, sans helmet, wondering where all the zombies are. 

This week, Chance struggles to admit that Nintendo is occasionally right while at the same time starting his third play through of Breath of the Wild. He also gets in touch with his inner middle-aged woman. Alex finally beat Hades as the devs intended before revisiting Risk of Rain 2. And Chamberlain is gravely disappointed in Narita Boy but impressed with himself for getting through the second Doom Eternal expansion.  

New this week: Chamberlian catches up! After neglecting all forms of media other than videogames for years Chamberlain has decided that he just might be missing out on a few things. Chance is up first with his recommendation of The Witch and Chamberlian is, as to be expected, a grump about it. He also finished Doom Eternal The Old Gods part 1, which is he rather proud of, and played, then quit, Undertale because it boring. Chance finished Breath of the Wild on the third attempt before watching Zach Snyder's Justice League, so you don't have to, but he thinks you should! Alex treats himself to all of the Outer Worlds expansions, which finally bring it up to the length of a normal RPG, and spends more time with Griftlands.

It took 40 hours, but Chamberlain has finally decided that he doesn't like Bravely Default II and will not be playing any more of it. As penance for all that wasted time he is attempting the Doom Eternal expansion and has tasked Chance and Alex with choosing a movie a week for him to watch. Chance has chosen The Witch. Chamberlain is worried. Chance decided to save money and then ended up spending all the money on Grindstone, a Switch pro controller and Breath of the Wild (again). And Alex tried Hades from scratch, realized that it was hard again, and got succor from abusing Borderlands 3.

Bravely Default 2 is not technically old, but it certainly feels that way. Chamberlain would like to believe that it is intentional, not lazy, but he is still not sure if he is enjoying it or if he has put thirst hours into it just because he is in covid quarantine. Bloodborne is definitely old, but Chance is playing it anyway. It is so old, if fact, that he has forgotten just enough about it for it to be almost new again. Only Alex is actually playing something new. It's week two on Persona 5 Strikers and he has finally figured it out. Min maxing it is in the near future.

It's the beginning of March and there is nothing to play. Well, nothing new to play. Chance does not mind, he can still play Overwatch. Alex doesn't mind, as he has no problem revisiting old classics like Horizon Zero Dawn. Chamberlain, though, is beside himself. Maybe he should have held on to Super Mario 3D World just a little longer. Not surprisingly, lots of movie and TV talk this week.

Prepare yourself for a great deal of culture, all at once, and at least mostly correct. We begin with Chance's Story time, a dramatic reading of two tales, filled with shocking ignorance and how it was dealt with. He then talks about Overwatch. Next is Alex, who has abandoned the final chapter of Pillars of Eternity in favor of the timeless shenanigans offered by Borderland 3. Finally, Chamberlain wraps up the flagellation that is Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood. For his penance he earned two hours of simple fun in Bleed 2 and the milquetoast comfort of Super Mario 3D World.

This week: animal husbandry in space! A JRPG without skeevy costumes! Murder at sixty frames per second! Tree hugging murderous werewolves and the humans who love them! 

And some Overwatch.
