Of zombies and monsters

My mission to update on Borderlands 2 and GTAV has hit a snag - hard to update on games that I'm not currently playing ... Some of this is that real life thing again intruding - but when I do switch on the PS3 (and the X360 hasn't been on much the last few weeks), then I'm on my normal couch co-op with Mrs Zombie Killer. We've been working on our completion score in Resident Evil 6 . After finding our first run-throughs on the new PS3 didn't leave us with much ammo, we had dropped to Amateur skill for the zombie killing equivalent of a kick-about. After a chapter on that, we found that we were having to leave ammo behind so we switched up to Veteran. Mrs ZK has up'ed her game with the increase in difficulty and we've hit the stage where we now grumble about 'only' getting an A rank -my nearest miss being 0.1% of an accuracy score. I've also given Agent Hunt a try for the first time - more times than not I'm not able to connect to a ses...

Distracted from the main mission

Well, I'm meant to be reporting on updates on Borderlands 2 . Sadly, Axton remains exactly where we last left him.  Partly because of real life and partly because the other two games mentioned last time have been slightly more consuming than expected. Chris and Piers got to the end of the their Resident Evil 6 adventure and now Jake and Sherry are not far from theirs. I've been having a little more fun this time with a hand combat focussed build for Jake (Melee, J'avo Killer and Combat Gauge Boost) - which has meant stockpiling amo has been easier. I customarily have breakout on, but haven't really noticed it on this run - except when fighting the Ogremon when its lack was very apparent. Meanwhile in Los Santos, Michael has just in the process of prepping for his first heist. I'm just now trying to decide if I want to go straight into the heist, or deviate for a few hours to bump up stats, money and weaponary ahead of the story missions. Which, let's be ho...

I say Achievement a lot in this one ...

So, Two weeks into 2015 and second post has gone live. That's definitely an improvement from the last few years. Game updates - Up to level 12 now in Borderlands 2 and two more points gone into Guerilla - next level will see me max out Sentry and probably move onto Willing. Ticked off a few more side missions in Sanctuary and have left the story mission to assassinate assassins (missed the boss rush rank), chase mad doctors (and perforated by his hi-tech gun because of a rubbish turret deployment) and look inquisitively at the motel (decided to actually sleep than visit there just yet) Mrs Zombie Killer and myself have also brought Leon and Helena through their Resident Evil 6 campaign and are now back in China hunting B.O.W. with Chris and Piers. I'll note that I really don't like Chris's thank you calls in this particular mission - doesn't encourage saying thanks. The starting ammo also seems a little sparse considering that they are part of a armed response...

Echo from the Hinterlands

So, pretty much three years ago, a lone blogger went incommunicado from the blogosphere Now he's back, additional family members in tow, newer PS3 after the prolonged death throes of the previous orginal model and an internet connection that has fewer limits. I've looked to re-start the blog a couple of times in the years of having it and never really managed to get back into it once the family started to arrive. This time around, rather than just listing games and hinting at other posts that just have never appeared, I'm going to focus on my progress on one or two games and hope to maintain momentum (and a semi-regular posting schedule). My starting games is ... Borderlands 2 Picked it up as part of the PS Plus games and never really got around to it until now. Tempting as phase locking or cloaking was, the ability to have a turret on call was just too tempting and I'm currently Axton, having just hit level 10 in my first playthrough and in Three Horns looking ...
