VOD of Consciousness Round-Up (2018 Season, Episodes 211-218)

This week saw me complete the main story for the Winds of Change content in Guild Wars 1. I then did the Zinn quests and began the War in Kryta. A lot of specific questing, huh? Though, I do make time to go and grab an elite skill or two along the way.

This week was mostly focused on the Halloween content in Guild Wars 1. I'm glad I was able to get to it, since I didn't actually get to record until November 1st! I had fun playing it, and it makes me excited for the Wintersday content that'll come out around Christmas/New Years.

This week I spent my time playing through more of the Winds of Change content for Guild Wars 1. Things are really heating up in the story, and in a way that feels like oddly relevant social commentary for today.

This week I mostly played Guild Wars 1, with a focus on collecting random things (skills and hero armor). I did finally get back to Winds of Change content. I also finally made a Dev Play recording of Highway to the Moon! I don't show off everything the game has to offer—I wanted to give people an incentive to explore the game themselves (and buy it, of course!)—but I do show off a typical playthrough of the game.

I continued my Let's Play of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice this week, then spent a lot of time fighting Jade Brotherhood in the sewers of Kaineng City in Guild Wars 1 before deciding it'd be prudent to go pick up some more PvE only skills to help in those efforts.

This week my Pre-Searing Ascalon character got to level 20, becoming a Legendary Defender of Ascalon! I also began a Let's Play of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice in an intentional decision to use my VOD of Consciousness recording time to work on my game backlog. And then I returned to Guild Wars 1 and the Winds of Change content.

This week I continued working on Winds of Change content. This included finishing off the last of the Afflicted, and the beginnings of the Ministry of Purity targeting other groups, in this case, the criminal organization, the Am Fah. The Am Fah have a particular fondness of the Affliction-causing plague, so this progression makes sense.

Also, this week I finished the Fury3 Let's Play! It ended up having 8 parts in total. Replaying the game was a lot of fun! I'm glad I did this Let's Play.

This week I continued the Winds of Change content, making it through cleansing the rest of the areas near Kaineng. I struggled a lot on Shing Jea Island, though, both in Minister Cho's Estate (where some bad build decisions complicated my efforts) and massively in Haiju Lagoon. I spent a lot of episodes this week trying out various builds to try and conquer that particular quest, and they were longer than normal, too.

The buildcrafting process is one I personally find really engaging, so the recording times felt shorter than the episodes actually are. A sign of a well-crafted system, but perhaps the videos are a bit long, heh.

I started off this week by being a bit uncertain about what I wanted to do. I eventually decided that I wanted to continue working on filling out my Young Heroes of Tyria book, then return to Winds of Change content. And, of course, I continued the Fury 3 Let's Play!
