Remember that time when I updated this
blog frequently? Yeah, me neither. So, since I'm well on my way to
having a PC capable of running Fallout: 3 at max settings and record
along side it I've put a little more thought into what I plan on
doing. My first thought was that I didn't fancy doing it on my own, I
find I talk about games and any other media text better when I'm
bouncing off of someone else, in the case of my planned Fallout: 3 LP
if everything goes to plan that's going to be alongside my long term
friend and hopefully long term member of Backseat GamingTV Devyn.
For those of you that have seen some of BSGTV's work, you'll know
that one of our first and as of the time of posting ongoing LP's
happens to be Fallout: New Vegas. In contrast to that LP, I'm
planning for this LP to be much more of a long term thing, I hope to
cover all of the DLC and to be able to spend much longer on the game
as a whole- opting for a less silly approach to the game.
On reading that back I feel I need to
clarify what I mean by “less silly” I don't mean that Devyn and I
will be being super serious mode, but we will be trying to build the
best possible character and take you guys though the wasteland more
or less the way the game intended. Not really going for 100%, but
showing you guys what we consider to be the main load of the game and
to talk about story and game design choices. I want to warn you all
though, a lot of this is up in the air right now, nothing official
has been decided as of yet and most of my “planning” hasn't left
my mind, but it is definitely something I want to do- and Devyn has
also expressed an interest in helping me complete an LP that I've
wanted to do for a very long time.
However, for the mean time I would like
to write about a game I've been playing recently- Dragon Age:
Origins. At the time of writing, but I doubt at the time of posting,
I'm nearly at the end (again) so I figured I would write a couple of
posts about the game and just my general thoughts about it. This is
by no means a written LP, it may very well turn into one- but I feel
like I'm far to deep into the game at this moment in time, making
writing up the LP very hard unless I started another file. This,
after completing the game roughly 3 times- with all the DLC- isn't
something I would be interested in at this time. Sadly, my copies of
both Dragon Age: Origins & Dragon Age II are on the Xbox 360, I'm
told this isn't a great way for them to be played, and I believe this
wholeheartedly. As you may know, my PC pretty runs on a coal fire. In
the future, it is possible I will attempt either a written or video
LP of Dragon Age II.
I can't say when either of these future
projects will go under way, both Dragon & Fallout related but I
have every intention of doing them at some point. I hope you guys are
still here when I do, despite how rarely I update this blog- I blog I
do update, and very often at that, is the blog of Backseat GamingTV-
I suppose that channel can now be considered my focus now, with this
being in the back burner. However I can promise that both channels
will always try to deliver quality content that you find entertaining
and like enough to share with your family and friends.
Thanks for reading.
