Extremely Fun Random Skirmish - Cyberpunk 2077 Diary

Wed, 01 Jun 2022 18:17:00 -0500

I am writing this post to commemorate last night’s gaming session. I was playing Cyberpunk 2077, and its probably the most fun I’ve had with an RPG in a very long time.

Years from now, I want to look back on this gaming session and remember the fun time. There are a many such gaming memories over the years, some over 20 years old. That one time when I started playing Tomb Raider 3 demo when I first got my computer back in 2000, when I played the tutorial level of Tomb Raider 4 late at night, that one session of Quake 3 with my neighbor where I won the round with about 5 seconds to spare (we talk about it to this day, after 15 years), when I beat Commandos after playing all night, that super frustrating session of GTA 3 where I resorted to using cheats to finish the level, the ending of Half Life 2 Episode 2, when I first stepped out of the vault in Fallout 3, when I played the beta of Battlefield 4 early in the morning and knew that it was going be a special game, I could go on.

Amiens Full Round - Battlefield 1 Diary

Mon, 06 Mar 2017 07:22:00 -0600

This is footage of a full round of Amiens. It was played on 12/31/2016. We absolutely dominated the enemy team in the heavy tank. Amiens is an excellent map, and it is very rare to have an one sided round, but in this case, the enemy team just couldn’t capture enough points to put up a fight.

I went 29-0, where I spent most of the round in the heavy tank. Towards the end of the round, the tank got destroyed, but I survived, and picked up the flame trooper kit. I went to do some damage with this kit, and I got killed just as the round ended (17:25).

One Point Victory - Battlefield 1 Diary

On the evening of December 27, 2016, after I got home from work, I didn’t really have much to do. So I wanted to play some games. I decided to play Battlefield 1 because I did not play it in a while (or any games for that matter) due to Christmas travel.

I started the game, and joined an official server, like I always do. The round was on Amiens, followed by Ballroom Blitz. I did extremely well on both, and my team won those two rounds. I was going to quit at this point, but I decided to play one more round because I love Empire’s Edge.

Battlefield 4 is the game I played more than any other game. I played this more than all the other games I ever played combined. So I got my money’s worth. All thanks to DICE LA.

The round I played yesterday was pretty great. Joined with a friend when things weren’t looking good for our team. Managed to do well and help our team win.

Need For Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed Diary

Purchased this game in 2011 from NewEgg for $7.64 (including shipping). This was back when EA was still selling DVDs of their games, and Origin was in its infancy.

I really enjoyed the first Shift game. When I found this game for cheap, I couldn’t resist. So much so that I hadn’t played it for 4 years.

After 2500+ hours of Battlefield (both 3 and 4), I want to get back into single player gaming again. Hence why I resumed F.E.A.R. as well.

F.E.A.R Diary

I played some more F.E.A.R. today. Really like the it. Its a traditional PC game. Its got quick save, checkpoint save and manual save. They don’t make games like this anymore. When I first played the demo for this game in 2005, I waited to play the full version because at the time I was using a BFG GeForce FX5500OC AGP card. I could barely run the game on medium at 1024x768.

One Point Victory - Battlefield 4 Diary

Sun, 09 Feb 2014 00:00:00 -0600

On February 9, 2014, I had this urge to play as a sniper with a suppressed SV-98. I have gotten a lot better playing as a sniper over the course of Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1, but at the time, I was pretty terrible.

I ended the round at 24-12, which is fantastic all things considered.

However, that was not the highlight for this round. We were behind on the scoreboard for the most part, but as the round progressed, we closed the gap. By the time I was down, the score was at 11-32.
