ABOUT THE GAME:
Pokémon: Trading Card Game (JP:1998 NA:2000) is a digitized version of the crazy popular collection/battle phenomenon of the late 90's. This adaptation creates a familiar game-world where the trainer must battle their way to collecting 8 medals and rising to defeat the Grand Masters... collect 'em all, battle the best, and become the Grand Champion. The game also takes advantage of the Gameboy link-cables to allow friends to duel one another as well as trade cards, generate new cards, and swap deck configurations.

#09: Old Iron Mines
Im entering the iron mines, which were used sometime ago during the 60s and 70s it seems; but there was apparently more going on here than just mining. Theres plenty of evidence regarding some scientific research of a specific type of rock worm, but theres also some more hints of something stranger going on, but I still dont know what it is. Red is anticipating our meeting, but we have yet to see the owner of this mysterious voice on the radio.

ABOUT THE GAME:
Penumbra: Overture (2007), by Frictional Games, is the first chapter of a survival horror series that preceded the more well-known game Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It features much of the same elements - a dynamic physics engine, gameplay that emphasizes puzzle-solving, and instilling psychological horror based on an inability to fight back against the games monsters.
The story begins when our character, Philip, receives a mysterious letter from the father he never knew shortly after his mothers funeral. A series of clues leads Philip to an isolated part of Northern Greenland, where he begins searching for answers.

About MGSO:
I didnt mention this widely-known compilation in here, and I have reasons. I dont like MGSO at all; I think its too unoptimized, theres too much junk, it ruins the atmosphere by straying too far from Morrowinds art style (both with visuals and audio), ruins performance, breaks a lot of the intended experience, causes other bugs and problems, its way too overly recommended, and its just out of date. It may be usable and some may like it, but it is far from an essential.

![#19: To Seek a Crown [ Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin — PC ]
Lets Play Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin (PC)
#19: To Seek a Crown
With all five Souls of a Giant in our inventory, we can challenge the hollowed Vendrick no problem. His massive sword hits like a truck, but his attacks are luckily very telegraphed and easy to dodge; the go-to strat is to circle him counter-clockwise, effectively hugging his left ass-cheek. As long as he doesnt decide to jump backwards multiple times or into the walls, this fight is very easy with a bit of patience.
Inside Vendricks memory, we can speak with him in his final living moments; he says some interesting things about the Flame and the Crown, albeit the lore is still quite over my head. At any rate, he hints at gathering the crowns from the DLCs... and so off we go to prepare for the coming challenges.

ABOUT THIS SERIES:
This is a casual playthrough where I recreate my favorite old DEX/INT build. The pacing is a bit faster than my usual style; this is not a comprehensive walkthrough, and I will be skipping some items/enemies/sections. I will kill all bosses. I have not played DkS2 since before the release of the third game earlier this year, and in recent months Ive been very engrossed in DkS1; this is my revisitation of DkS2, to once and for all gain a proper perspective on all three games in the series. #19: To Seek a Crown [ Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin — PC ]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dVKiz__FRJY/mqdefault.jpg)

#02: Pursuer & Dragonrider
The next couple of bosses I also consider beginning-of-game bosses: Pursuer & Dragonrider; funny, they can both be easily cheesed for near-instant wins. Not like theyre hard anyway. I would normally do Old Dragon Slayer at this point as well, but because Fromsoft is rude, they plopped all kinds of bs, including a drake, right in the way, and thus its a lot harder to simply run up to him.
Ah well, off to the next zone: No Mans Wharf...

ABOUT THE GAME:
The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall
Prepare to experience your new obsession it claims on the box. Yes, but also confusion and frustration. Daggerfall is a first-person dungeon-crawler, second installment of the Elder Scrolls series, and it pioneered some of the elements that would become standard in later titles. It was a highly-ambitious project, and it did some interesting things that were never seen again within the series.
Played using the DaggerfallSetup.exe found on the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages:
