Day 3: Beat Saber Shoulder Slaughter (It's for the Kids!)

 Hey all!

Still no time for fancy website stuff – gotta keep those donations rolling in! Brett's back to the grind, but the kids CRUSHED their 24 hours! Super proud of those little champions.

Speaking of champions... I decided to jump into some Beat Saber this morning. Seriously, if you haven't tried it, you are MISSING OUT. Best. Game. Ever. (Though my shoulder might disagree...)

Turns out a month off makes Expert+ feel like trying to fight off a horde of goblins with a wet noodle. Ouch. Sticking to Expert for now, but I managed to S rank Linkin Park's "A New Divide".

A New Divide

Gonna climb back up that leaderboard and reclaim my spot in the top 1000!

Happy Day 3 of Extra Life, everyone! Gaiscioch has a whole lineup of awesomeness planned, including Throne and Liberty, Guild Wars 2, and the epic raffle! Stay tuned!

And as always, THANK YOU for supporting Extra Life. Saving kids is the ultimate quest, and we couldn't do it without you!

Feast over Famine part 2: Quest Complete!

 Quest Name: Feast over Famine part 2

Type: Side Quest

Location: IRL

Description: Tier 2 hunger abatement.

Alas! We all must eat or surely we will perish. Granted I was a long way from perishing but I hadn't eaten much today. Besides, it is always good to engage with the family amirite? Tonight was a make your own sandwich night! The kiddos love that. We had pretzels to go with the sammies. We all watched a couple episodes of BNHA with Elcee (who has watched it in its entirety twice now) and decided what we were going to do for the rest of the evening. Next up is Conquerors Blade with Gaiscioch. Some bandit raids and more of the super fun Halloween village defense! See you there!

To DAoC or not to DAoC?

 Quest Name: To DAoC or not to DAoC

Type: Main Quest

Location: Dark Age of Camelot

Description: Survive Darkness Falls

I wanted so badly to jump into DAoC and just mess around with my Theurgist but the UI was wonky and I wasn't able to make it happen. Instead, I figured I'd play around in Throne and Liberty with Gaiscioch. I am not a huge fan of the game but since it was on the roster for the community I figured I'd jump in. I leveled my character up to 31 from 27 and completed a couple of chapters in the story. I now have access to the dungeon finder and I have increased my gear score from 400ish to 900ish. Pretty impressive for a two hour stint. I think its time to hit up another side quest though.

Son of a... Hades?

 Quest Name: Son of a.. Hades?

Type: Main Quest

Location: Hades (PS5)

Description: Escape the underworld from your father Hades.

Did a little side quest of Sleep before I dove into the underworld as Zagreus the son of Hades. In an attempt to escape the underworld I graciously accepted the gifts of the Olympians who would love to see their nephew escape and enter Olympus. I am a huge fan of this game. The roguelike aspects with the witty banter between the denizens of the underworld and the prince is a wonderful experience. Im on to the next quest of surviving Darkness Falls in the Dark Age of Camelot private server; Uthgard. Wish me luck!

Passing the Controller (and Crushing Some Numbers!)

 Time to pass the PC over to Brett so he can start his day! I didn't get many awesome Vampire Survivors screenshots because I was having too much fun playing, but here's one! (Insert awesome screenshot here)

Unfortunately, (Sorry) I didn't save the screenshot, so here is this one for you:

While Brett is doing his video game thing, I'll try to figure out how many hours we're at and how many more we need to go. So far this has been a really fun Extra Life, and we've raised $81 so far!

Thank you everyone for stopping by to read this, watching Twitch.tv/Gaiscioch, playing with us, and donating! You guys rock! 🤘

It's Extra Life Time! (And Early Morning Wake-Up Calls, Apparently!)

Good morning everyone! 

 

So, I woke up at 2 AM and the kids were STILL awake! I have no idea when they'll actually get up today. They may have already gotten their 24 hours for Extra Life in! 😂 

 I've actually been up for about an hour, but needed to run some errands. But, remember how I'm awesome at multitasking? I did some Pokémon Go while I was out and about!

So, I'm back at home with some wake-up fuel and breakfast and ready to go on my next adventure: Vampire Survivors! This is one of my all-time favorite games! I'll make sure to post some screenshots because, who needs a reason?! 

 Remember, please donate! But just being here and reading this helps, so thanks for being a hero! ❤️

Return to Albion!

 Quest Name: Return to Albion!

Type: Main Quest

Location: Albion Online

Description: Return to Albion Online and share the experience with your family.

It has been awhile since I stepped foot in Albion. Nostalgia was a plenty wandering the areas outside of Martlock. The intent was to wind down for the night and spend the last couple of hours with Fen on a game we enjoy together, buuuuuut, Fen got bored fairly quickly and I ended up soloing the Halloween event solo dungeon which took, FOREVER. Tons of ghoulish mobs; ghosts, skeletons, undead mages, undead rats, undead bats, werewolves, and Bob, the pumpkin headed skeleton with an axe that forced me to dance. In the end it was worth it though. Decent enough rewards for Bob, and an enjoyable time within a game that doesn't get the credit it deserves. That's all for me tonight though folks. I shall see you in the morrow.
