Playing Now/Playing Next: Aug 06, 2023

Published on Aug 6, 2023

Hey there, sports fans!

Now that I've finally finished the big Doom post I've been thinking about and working on for weeks, I thought it might be fun to blast off a short, quick blog just detailing what I'm playing right now, and what I plan to play next.

I also find it uselful to write these things down because I'm a weird nerd who likes Plans™, and I have too many thoughts kicking around in my head at any one time to remember everything without writing it down.

Maybe this'll become a series, maybe it won't!

Playing Now:

"Oh no, my neck blood!"

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut

Finishing up my first ever replay of DXHR! I was going to start through this whole series from the beginning, but then I got really nostalgic for Human Revolution and it just sucked me in!

Playing Next:

Wolfenstein 3D + Doom II

Playing these two in the wake of finishing up my thoughts on Doom, and wanting to see both where it came from and where it went. Luckily, all of this shit is on GOG to own DRM-free, and is constantly on sale for pennies.

Can't wait to find out what this guy's problem is.

Quake

Also very much in the wake of finishing Doom and wanting to see where things went from there (I have never played any of this shit! Wild!), but actually mostly because of a post I saw on Cohost about a cool-looking mod.

From There:

On PC:

  • Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (restarting after falling off years ago)
  • Deus Ex (replay)
  • Deus Ex 2
  • System Shock: Enhanced Edition (finish)
  • Ultima Underworld
  • Cyberpunk 2077 (after the Phantom Liberty update drops)

On Switch:

  • Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (finish)
  • MegaMan Battle Network 2 (finish 100%)
  • Dragon Quest XI S: Definitive Edition (I very foolishly started this right before Zelda dropped)
  • Sea of Stars (rel. Aug 29)

That's pretty much what I'm up to in games! All of this is subject to change based on my whims, of course, and I'm sure Sea of Stars is going to end up stealing the whole scene when it lands at the end of the month. Hopefully you'll see writing about several of the games on these lists on this very blog soon!

What have you been up to lately? What are your video game plans? Leave me a comment or don't goodbye!
