知り合いのやってるお店でガレットランチ。 昼間からシードルを飲む。

一緒に行ったお姉さまは昼間からビール！と行きたいところだったがビールが売り切れで赤ワインを。 （退店する直前にビール屋さんが来ました…）

ガレット屋さんのお兄さんは写真を撮ったり映像を作ったり多才な方。

お料理も一品一品丁寧で本当に美味しい。

わたしの好きな映画、『バグダッドカフェ』のcalling youが流れていた。

Warframe, What is it good for?

This game may possibly be the thing that kills me, or at least causes me to be left with a permanent twitch…

12:03 PM (It’s Lunch time!)

I am finding I that the feelings I have about Dark Souls, Demon Souls, and Blooborne, are similar to my feelings about the online game Warframe.

Masochistic feelings. I can’t help but love Warframe, but I also realize that I hate it.

Now, please realize that Dark Souls, Demon Souls and Bloodborne, are freaking amazing games with intense storyline, and awesome gothic, beautifully disturbing graphics.  AND all those games are beyond challenging (There is a reason that the punch line for these games is “prepare to die”).

However, when you end up dying as least 40 times with in 15 minutes to a half hour because the game is so difficult… You end up hating it… a lot… BUT you keep playing it.

Warframe cannot even think of touching Dark Souls or Demon Souls as far as story, graphics, or in difficulty.  But warframe can still make you hate it just as much and yet you keep playing.

The main story line to this game starts off letting you know that the galaxy we currently all live in (Milky Way), has broken up into massive warring factions. And now you, a warframe operator have been awakened to defend the universe once more.

Sounds pretty legit, and who wouldn’t want to be a bad ass space ninja machine?

You end up having to up on walls, shoot things with all different kind of guns, kunai, bows and arrows, swords, and even hammers!

Here is where it gets you though… Nothing is really balanced.

You may LOVE the bows, but you can’t really use them if you have a hope of actually causing damage.  If you want to survive, you are almost forced to use either a rifle or a shotgun.

That’s when you say, OH WAIT! If I can’t snipe things with my bow and arrows that have massive poison damage and even blow up… Then I will snipe things with the sniper-rifles!

WRONG .

Sniper-rifles in the game are not at all useful.  They do not cause near enough damage, and the scope is generally slow to focus, and at times very unreliable.

You will end up dying or failing your missions so often you just want to throw your controller at something.

BUT you still play, because for being such and unbalanced, glitchy, frustrating and (lack of a better description) a trash game, its tons of fun. And when you finally accomplish something, you feel like what you actually did in game matters in everyday life. (In reality, it does not. Sorry to disappoint)

Because of all this, I am very tempted to start blogging a series that I will call, “Diary of a Tenno”.  At the very least, it will make people laugh. (I hope)
