Whoa!, the blog almost turned into a raisin...

Thought I would just check in before this blog withered away on the inter-nets. I am glad to see everyone has purchased the current installment of COD, as always, so much fun.

There is a multitude of multi player games coming out that every one looks interested in, but, my only gripe are the games themselves as they are just small group games and we aren't. The Division is a four play story mode, while the dark zone is free game, I think, I guess we have to wait and see. Homefront 2 is another four player game that looks like fun, yet again, four player.

The Fallout 4 DLC looks good and I have been personally upset with some of the options for settlement building and have trying to stay away from building up the settlements. The mods on PC have used pretty much every wall, building and textures from the game to make some amazing settlements. What's even better is that they have taken from in game and doesn't break the lore. This bugs me when exploring out in the wilderness and you see a cool element and ask why isn't that a build-able object in my settlement!? I get this feeling Bethesda is taking the best stuff it has seen and then turning around and making that quick buck before the GECK and mods are released.

I really want the RV travel trailers that are spread throughout the Commonwealth, they would make a great settlement structure. I would love to build real houses; set  a settler limit you had to have then slowly they would build a house over time, not just a shack house. I want windows and the lot, to build up a little neighborhood. This game is missing a lot of doodads for settlements. I also want the spring cleaning mod or something like it. The mod cleans the trash, leaves and random piles of what not from your OCD settlement.  Otherwise the game is just like every Bethesda before, straight exhilarating exploration, my favorite part.

The 2nd annual SWS fishing trip is coming fast upon us and I am reminded that I need to make the reservation for the campsite on Friday. Wahoo! The camper is coming along and I am tempted to bring her inside a little earlier than expected to get started on it. Big plans, my friend, big plans. Finished a new awning bag and now working on a LED transformation. Then the demo of the interior will begin in haste, for the future rebuild. Exciting.

I am making some swag for the fishing trip; a hat, it's a little redneck and a little urban, just like the SWS. If you want one let me know, they will be $15, but totally worth it, as these are "lightly personalized" to you. I have supplies for five and three are spoken for. Two left.

Until the next session.

SWS out.
