Let's Play Pokémon: Trading Card Game (Gameboy Color)
#30: Terminal Misfortune
The nature of a randomly-drawn card game entails the possibility of an utterly worthless series of cards during the course of a game. This is one of those instances.

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.

Murrays strategy is the long-game: stall until he can get set-up with Alakazam and his buddies, then use damage swap to use the massive conglomerate health-pool that results from having Alakazam with Chanseys.

Lets Play Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin (PC)
#23: Fume Knight, Sir Alonne, Blue Smelter
Its time to clean up Brume Tower and take on all the bosses. First up is Fume Knight, who I consider the real boss of this DLC, and he puts up quite a fight. The first phase he will use a straight sword in his right hand and a massive ultra-greatsword in his left; but when he gets mad, he ditches the toothpick and powers up his UGS with darkness and fire. Fume is a great fight, and defeating him alone is a testament to your skill in this game.
Sir Alonne is accessible from the throne bonfire just passed the predator invaders, but only after defeating Fume Knight, as only then youll be able to enter the memory. This memory is a pain in the ass, with all the Alonne knights scattered throughout, so I just haul ass through to the boss fog (which is still pretty annoying to do). Sir Alonne is meditating in his throne room, and readily accepts your challenge. This is my favorite boss in the entire game, and I do believe this fight perfectly embodies what Dark Souls is all about: patience, timing, concentration, and learning from your mistakes.
The last boss is totally optional, and he resides at the end of the horrible gauntlet known as Iron passage. Hes a re-color of someone we know and hate: Smelter Demon. But this time hes blue! Strangely enough, and luckily for me, he doesnt seem particularly resistant to magic damage; but he does have a slightly different moveset to regular Smelter, and thus can throw you off if you arent careful.

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.")

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.

#05: Generating Success
The second area of the mine seems to be much more developed, structure-wise; theres a lot more technology around, seemingly, including a rather large generator thats currently offline. Theres a large powered gate blocking the way forth into the rest of the mine, which is likely opened once the generator comes online.
I come across a radio in the far room, no use for it at the moment, but the receiver has a repeating morse code coming into it. The pattern seems to be: ..... ... ... ..
To get the generator online, I need to find a battery, turn a series of valve in a specific sequence, and fix a blown fuse; once all that is taken care of... we have power!

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.
If fate frowns, we all perish.")
