E3 prep

Who is excited to hear all about the new games coming out of E3? I know I am. I won't be able to give first hand news since I am not going but I am going to twitter post and post the Friday afterwards to bring you the news.

Until then more gaming news! Yay! This past week has been very interesting. I have been playing LoL, Smite, Wow, and The Witcher. My latest game is called Ark: Survival Evolved....it's still downloading but it looks pretty well put together for an alpha game.

WoW, I haven't had as much time as I wanted this past week to play wow but when I do I played ran some ICC for transmog items with some friends of mine.

Smite was a different story altogether. I am still on the road to lvl 30 as I am currently only halfway there from 29. The one match I had the other night turned terrible. It was an Assault match (Random playable characters) and I ended up with Nu Wa and we got destroyed...hard. There was some unhappy people on our team bu griping people will always gripe.

In LoL, I had a pretty good match trying out the new champion Ekko who is pretty OP, thanks Riot!

That's all for now. Check me out on Twitter for more updates!

Part 1 ends where part 2 begins.

This week has been exciting, nerve racking, and stressful all rolled into one. I had exams this week and that means my second semester of college is done. Granted I am on a 5-6 year plan due to financial reasons and lack of time to go full-time but I don't regret it. I know that when I finish I will be able to reach a point in the working field I wasn't able to before without a degree. So here is to the end of this semester.

Also, within a few more posts I will probably become a daddy. My wife's expected due date is May 26th but I have a feeling she will go into labor today or within a few days (just a feeling). I am super excited to be a daddy who is also a gamer and trying to micro manage my time.

Gaming this week has been almost nonexistent because of cramming for exams but between studying and pulling my hair out it has been mostly League of Legends. Typically, I play against bots to learn a champion and feel really good about myself but this week I thought I would test my Lux play skills against real opponents and I wasn't disappointed. I was mid against a Kennan and his minion push was a bit better than mine at the beginning because my first skill is only a trap/stun for poking him. Once I was able to get my second skill I was able to poke him much harder and make it more difficult for him to minion push. I went 17-0-25 for 26 minutes of the match. At the last few minutes the entire enemy team decided they wanted to gank me. No teammates in sight I tried to run while sending a few stuns and slows their way. Alas, I couldn't hit them all and they catch up to me and end my no deaths :(

This was it for this week. Not much went on but next week expect to find more twitch streams and videos on youtube. Speaking of streaming you can follow me on twitter @The_Gaming_Dad to get updates on when I stream, post videos, or am playing on my computer. Congrats to those who finished college this semester.

Mortal Kombat X

Disclaimer report: Fighting games are not my forte and will never be my forte so if you watch my twitch channel you will probably see me die...and die...and die again many times. 

I will probably win 1 out of 20 matches against real people. I never really got into fighting games because I loved the fantasy games and role-playing games. They gave me more variety and didn't have to button smash to win. Fighting games were tough because I like to plan my moves ahead of me and fighting games never really give me that chance. The decisions are always split second on whether to block, punch or grapple someone and it interferes with my order of playing. This is one reason Final Fantasy 10 will forever remain one of my favorite video games of all time.

Even though I am terrible at fighting games I always loved the Mortal Kombat games for their story and gameplay animations. "GET OVER HERE" has an immediate familiarity to it that any gamer will recognize even if they do not play fighting games. This is about as far as I can go this week on the game since I purchased it mere minutes before making this post. 

Most of this also consisted of me playing LoL and going 10-0-20 with Lux (Lux is an amazing character is used correctly) against people. It was a snowball effect that made the game amazing. I am always up for playing with fans, Add me, Baldorax.

That is it for this week. Look forward to a beefy post next week as I do my week review of Mortal Kombat X.  So follow my twitch stream @the_gaming_baby_daddy and follow me on twitter for updates @the_gaming_dad

Easter Weekend

Hello everyone, today is the Monday and I had a great Easter weekend. Did you? Most of my weekend was spent with family on my wife's side. We don't see my family much. On Sunday we celebrated my wife's cousins birthday. That was a mouthful. We spent a few hours hanging out and eating clams. I am currently on a prescription cough syrup which says do NOT take alcohol while on this. I bet you can't guess what I took while on this? Yup, I had a bit of alcohol on the back end of the four hours. Luckily I caught myself before I drank too much and was in serious trouble. All I did at that point was get really drowsy and sleep for a bit in a chair.

To games!!! Over the weekend I played Borderlands and LoL mostly. I got my Mecromancer up to level 13 and my Siren to level 11. This game is mostly played when my friends are online because it is always fun to play games with friends. League of Legends was my go to game this weekend for the late nights and massive IP grinds. I think I picked up 1000 IP in a single sitting. A lot more than I am accustomed to getting.

I didn't get to much gaming done this weekend but I do plan on streaming tonight so stay tuned! Check my twitter feed for when I start streaming @the_gaming_dad. I will probably start my stream at 8 p.m. EST but always check for updates because my schedule is always changing. Have fun and Game on!
