What I’m Playing – Episode 9

Game: Sleeping Dogs

Sleeping Dogs is an open environment action game set in the crime world of the Hong Kong Triads. The protagonist controlled by the player is Wei Shen, a Chinese-American police officer who returns to the Hong Kong neighbourhood of his youth to infiltrate the Triad organization Sun On Yee. In the opening scenes he quickly hooks up again with his old friend Jackie Ma who introduces him to the Triad boss Winston Chu. Even though many characters still remember Shen from long ago, he has to work his way back up. The main storyline has him perform various missions for the organization, starting with simple extortion quests with the local merchants. These quests have to be followed to make available new missions and open up new parts of the city, but a role-playing element allows Shen to choose his own path. Three types of experience points can be earned: Triad, Cop and Face. The first two determine Shen’s devotion to either the Triad or the police respectively, based on his actions. The third is an overall experience system that determines Shen global reputation. Leveling up opens up new upgrades through a skill tree system. Players are free to leave the story behind and explore the city at their own leisure.

The Snow Day

It’s been so long since I made a video, one of my favorite past times. Today is a snow day, the “im not going anywhere today” kind of day. I deciced i would take Heidi out to play in the snow and take out the ol’ GoPro.

I also wanted to try video editing on the Mac using iMovie so that’s how this little video was made. I cant take to much credit as the sofware has a ‘Trailer” mode which makes it really easy to put together this video and present it like a real trailer. I think it came out good for what it is.

What I’m Playing: Episode 6

Game: Game of Thrones

It is based on both on the original fantasy novel series A Song of Ice and Fire and the HBO TV series adaptation. From the TV series it takes the appearance and voice acting of famous characters such as Cersei Lannister, Tyrion Lannister, Jon Snow, Ramsay Snow, Daenerys Targaryen and Margaery Tyrell. It also takes place concurrently with the TV series, starting at the moment of the Red Wedding at the end of the third season and following the events just up to the start of the fifth season. It does not expand upon or contradict the TV series, as it focuses mainly on House Forrester. It is a family not yet mentioned in the TV series, but briefly mentioned in the fifth book A Dance with Dragons. As such it is a spin-off and does not deliberately break the canon as the book does not contain any detailed information about House Forrester, but it introduces the Forrester viewpoint for many prominent characters and events. The game is set mainly in the Wolfwood region, known for its forest and carpentry supplying the other Houses, and especially the fortress Ironrath. Other prominent locations are also present, such as King’s Landing or the Wall, and many others on the continents of Westeros and Essos.
