So, this blog wasn't what I meant it to be...and I need to start using it more. So I thought I would give a bit of a quick life update.
I work in Hamilton, for a company called A Raymond Tinnerman, it is a good place to work...and although my duties aren't that engaging, the people are good, I make good money, have good benefits and a great social committee that plans lots of events, including a great golf tournament every summer. I have put plans in place last week, along with my HR manager to get moving in a different direction at work, and am looking forward to it.
I was seeing a girl, but it turned out we were too different. I have different interests which are more solitary and she got fed up...which is ok. I was feeling kind of trapped in the relationship anyway...and am much happier doing my own thing and being on my own schedule. Some of us just aren't suited to be with others and I am ok with that.
Gaming wise, I finished The Order:1886 a few weeks ago, and I enjoyed it. It is a story of and alternate version of Victorian London, around the time of Jack the Ripper. WhiteChapel plays a pivotal part of the story, as the Jack the Ripper story runs concurrent with the other story.
You play the part of Sir Galahad, I am not sure if it is the Galahad from the fabled Knights of the Round Table, but it goes a bit deeper in the story of how he may be.
The game starts off with you in prison, being tortured by guards. During this time, you find your handcuffs come loose, and you break free. After a stealth section, you jump off London Bridge, and then flashback in time to start the story.
This is where the story picks up, and during the story you will visit various places in London, and are armed with various weapons, which all have a steampunk feel to them.
The game is full of Quick Time Events, and that takes away some of the feeling of being involved in the game, and it has been said that the game is more like playing a movie. I didn't really feel that way, and even though the game was short, under 6 hours, I very much enjoyed playing The Order:1886
