On top of that, I've been really itching for more development work. And now I've gotten it! Unfortunately, it's due to someone on our team leaving, Zach. It does mean that in the near future, I'll have more responsibility in terms of releases and maintenance. But it also means I have more responsibility. Which means more opportunities to prove myself.
As for home: Cleaning up has still been slow. The office still has quite a few boxes to unpack. It will be slow progress, but as long as I get a box or two done a night, I should be good.
Now on what I've really been enjoying these past few days... Dark Souls 2! Holy crap, this game is fun. (Not so much with Keyboard/Mouse or a crappy PS3 wired controller). After we bought an Xbox 360 controller receiver for the computer, the game became so much smoother, and so much more fun. I'm already up to level 63, but I'm pretty sure I'm not all that far into the game.
For my character, he's a dual-wielding swordsman with a bow. I'm calling it the Legolas build. He's pretty good at starting fights with one or two people, and if I position myself properly, I can even get a couple kills if they are in a mass coming down a hallway or funneling through a door. I'm going to keep spoilers out of here, but I will say that I've fought 4 bosses. There seem to be more bosses overall, but there have been a couple that I would deem mini-bosses.
I'm really wondering if I should dive into magic. I'd have to allocate quite a few levels now, which are starting to get significantly more expensive. But I think I would do well with a faith build. The extra healing for sustainability, the burst damage from the lightning, and the positioning tools from the force knockback all appeal to me. We'll see.
Til next time.
