So I was just doing my daily nonsense and a malign alien intelligence implanted a thought in my brain: "You need booze and bad pizza." I tried to resist.

I rolled a natural '1' on the resist.

Booze, bad pizza, and Guild Wars 2 map completion tonight at 5PM Pacific, MagnifyingLens on Twitch.

On June 1, 2019 I streamed for the first time.

6 years later.
2742 hours streamed later.
101 games streamed later.
843 Twitch follows later.
952 YouTube subs later.

Thanks everyone!

How about another one tonight? City of Heroes (as is tradition for stream-i-versary) at 5PM Pacific, 8PM Eastern.

Coming up on stream:

June 1 6th stream-iversary, City of Heroes and beverages.
June 3-4 Guild Wars 2: Absolution
June 5- Dune: Awakening

And tonight? Cthulhu loves me this I know, because AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

Worshipers of Cthulhu: 5PM Pacific, 8PM Eastern.

As Xbox announces that it's raising game prices to $80, the three best-reviewed games of the year so far are $50, $30, and $50

I've finished my playthrough of Atomfall. TLDR: I really enjoyed the explorational playstyle and a very solid story. The full playthrough is here: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Continued from earlier post...

18--Defiance: returns from the game graveyard!

18--Lost Skies: wishlisted, two games in one day. Also, how do you lose a sky?

23--Railgods of Hysterra: Enjoyed the demo

Oh, and May 15, Dune: Awakening.

Seriously, can you guys spread out a bit?

April is bonkers...

4--PoE2 0.2: slow slog slop...stop, please.

5--Still streaming Atomfall tonight

10--Blue Prince: wishlisted, don't know much, hoping to be surprised.

17--Last Epoch season 2: they moved their launch to avoid PoE2...they needn't have bothered.

Continued in next Bloosk...

Path of Exile 2 0.2 patched up and queued...292 people ahead of me! 82 minutes to launch. Let the pain commence.

I'll be streaming Avowed in a few minutes. I'm a bit late to the party, but it looks good. Mostly. I have a couple complaints already because, well, I'm me.

Me: What should I stream tonight. Voice In My Head: How about Guild Wars? Me: I have 5000+ hours in Guild Wars 2, 800+ streamed...maybe something else. VIMH: Not GW2, the first one. Me: There was a first one!?!?

Just kidding, I've played some, but it never hooked me. Let's try again!

I'm going to stream a demo tonight. Why a demo? Well my fave game of last year was "Dredge", and eldritch horror fishing game. This one is an eldritch horror survival train game. "Railgods of Hysterra". If someone asks if you want to be a railgod, you say "YES!"

Story time...

365 days ago, my stream plan was to play Horizon Zero Dawn...and then this happened: massivelyop.com/2024/01/04/n... (My thanks to the people at NCSoft and Homecoming who made this happen!)

So much for that plan! Just shy of a year later (note: leap year!) and I'm trying again!

12 hours from now Path of Exile 2 starts Early Access. I predict the servers shall melt through the floor and all the way down to the center of the Earth. And I shall be one of the countless voices wailing our agony to the uncaring universe. And I'll be doing it on stream, so enjoy!
