DING!
Not wishing to boast or anything, but it's been 9 years since I managed 100% completion in a video game. (Mass Effect) I will admit I needed some help from Google to complete the two last achievements, but otherwise it entirely my doing.
Ark: Survival Envolved - Shotgun! Shotgun! Shotgun!
HoC Ark: Survival Evolved Diaries #5
You all know I have been waiting for this moment.
At level 30 I unlocked the Simple Pistol. And it was good. But something was lacking. Not enough oomph!
At level 35 Ark: Survival Evolved gave me the solution to this problem.
The Shotgun for a mere 18 engram points. LEARNED
City of Ottawa now available in Minecraft block form
geoOttaWOW has created "a Minecraft world based on data sets used in geoOttawa"
Above is a photo of the Minecrafted center block of the Parliament Building. It took some help from Rolly to get Guba and I to this point but we managed. The individual buildings and roads are not built directly in Minecraft but 3D formed out of Minecraft blocks based on the geoOttawa data. It was still cool to wander around the Parliament blocks and drop down to the canal.
The recently-unveiled GeoOttaWow lets Minecraft players explore and refashion Ottawa's streets, houses, train tracks, as well as major buildings like Parliament Hill and City Hall.

HoC Ark: Survival Evolved Diaries #4
Last night Coxxorz and I were once again feeding our addiction to Ark: Survival Evolved. We both had trouble getting into the server which made it much worse when Coxxorz locked up and disconnected.
His character was still there as far as I could see. In the middle of nowhere which is a recipe for disaster in ARK, a world populated by carnivorous dinosaurs.
Blackwalt: "Did you want me to plant a torch so you can find your body if you don't spawn back here?"
Coxxorz: "No. That would be advertising where I am to the dinos!"
Blackwalt: "Oh, okay..."
So I put up a sign instead...
HoC Random Zombie Math of the Day - 01082016
Rolly had this math problem in class on Wednesday
I was busy working through the possibilities when Rolly dropped a major spoiler.
Doesn't matter. We all know the solution I would really use. I would leave Stormblade behind.
Zombies..remember them?
Since Blackwalt and Pwncall still have their noses buried in some dinosaur game, I thought I should post this preview vid of the upcoming Dying Light sequel.
"My God, it's full of MegaPiranha!"
HoC Ark: Survival Evolved diaries #3
If stupid Microsoft Xbox and Ark: Survival Evolved Preview Game would allow me to share video and screenshots you would get much better details (and video). Instead we have this...
"Will you all quit moving around? It's so frustrating! I think I counted one of you twice!"
Those are Megapiranhas. There may be more than one of them. In the state I was in (at the time) one would have been sufficient to kill my character. Overkill.
Ubisoft just talked me out of Far Cry Primal
No co-op or multi-player
From WCCF Tech: Far Cry Primal Dev Explains Why There’s No Coop This Time
- ...in the early stages of the project, we made the difficult choice of focusing our efforts on the single player experience.
Apparently the Ubisoft Developers forgot that the best parts of Far Cry 4 were in co-op. At least there is still ARK: Survival Evolved.
I am now glad I didn't pull the trigger on Coxxorz's Random Deal of the Day.
