No commentary today, but we head out on a quiet fishing trip to the Shimmering Frontier. We got lots of fish and stuff and even made it up to 82 Fishing skill. A ways to go yet, but that's a problem for another time.

We took down another portal and a couple small outposts. We even saved the creepers from the piglin menace. We even got two more of the Firsts ready to help us.

We started the last area over again, this time focusing even more on income. It worked pretty well, we got tons of gold and were able to fend off all attackers. 

We took down a couple more portals and protected the zombies from another attack.

We head out to get some coal and awaken the First Of Diorite. He helped us smash a couple portals and we even made friends with the zombies.

We head out to get some stuff done today. We have a new Scarlet Ore boulder hooked up, so all the ores are ours again. We got some new cattle for our current friends. We even have the rest of the crystal ground set for our fields.

We head into the fifth area and do reasonably well. Of course, once the last wave came around, things took a turn for the worst. We will probably have to restart the area.

We head into the fourth area with the same strategy in mind. Gold and then defense. While the boss monster in the last wave took a few tries, we were able to get past this area.

We take down one portal and do some exploring. We found one of the Firsts, but we need some coal, which we didn't have. We defended our tower and then went to help out the skeletons. They're our friends now, and they will be put to good use.

We headed back in to start the third area over. This time we went in with the idea to generate lots of gold to fuel the war effort. It worked out quite well. The last wave was a touch dicey, but we made it through.

We went out and got some dirt to help cover up the holes around the base area. We actually did that twice. And we have gotten a good portion of the big hole/cave area covered up.

Time to dive back in to Minecraft Legends. We got our first friends and even saved the sky. Maybe we should Praise The Sun!

We finish up the second area pretty well and move on to the third. It went okay for a while, but we are in a bad position currently.

We started off wandering around the Shimmering Frontier to grab up some more resources. After getting back home, I got it in my head to go after the Atlantean Worm. This was...a mistake.

We start up a game of Thronefall! We made our way through the tutorial area and headed off to the second land. We did pretty well until the last wave of enemies. Those guys crushed us. We will get them next time.

For the final episode of NEWvember, we take a look a Hearthstone. I had a bunch of stuff built up from Prime Gaming that was just sitting there waiting for us. Plus there was even more stuff that it just rained on our heads. It was a good time, though.

In this episode of NEWvember, we check out Shoppe Keep 2. It is...not great.

No, I don't know what that means either. Anyways, we built an area for our Kelples and realized I was gathering the wrong thing. Time for some fishing. After that, we got three of our expired ore boulders replaced with some new ones.

This episode takes us into the demo for Anode Heart. It's a Pokemon-like game and it seems really neat. I liked what I've seen so far.

This episode we dive into Marvel's Avengers: Definitive Edition. It may not be available anymore, but it seems to be a good time. Would probably be better if I was not terrible at the game. Hah.

We head back out to the Shimmering Frontier to start off to see what we pick up that we left behind before. After that, it was down to the Sunken Sea to see if we could make some friends, and after a bit of searching, we found a couple Kelple friends that we brought home with us.

In this episode, we're taking a look at Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop. It's a free top-down shooter. It's fun but obviously designed for co-op play. Since I don't have three other of me, I can't really say much else.

We headed out to do some exploring. First there was the Nether, though we didn't stay long with the Ghasts right near the portal. Then it was some overworld adventures. We were eventually able to find a Desert Pyramid and got to do a bit of archeology for the first time.

In this episode, we check out Ghoul Castle 3D Gold Edition. It's a snazzy little action game that I found quite enjoyable.

We head out to the Shimmering Frontier to poke around and grab some resources. After filling up on goods, we head back home and finally put some of our unsorted stuff away.

In this video, we check out Quake II RTX. I will admit that I have played Quake II before, but not the RTX version. It's very nice. Definitely need to spend more time playing it.

This time, we take a look at the Immortals Of Aveum demo. It does not go well. It starts okay but goes downhill fast.

We head off to get the last Artifact. Then it's back onto the ship to complete the Armillary and then it's Unity time!

This episode, I take a look at ReCore. It's a 2018 third person action game about cores. Power cores, to be precise. I don't think it's too bad, though it is sitting at Mixed on Steam.

We work our way through the maze of the research level and finally end up getting our Artifact. Only one more to go now.

I didn't want the game to beat me in the tutorial, so it's a one-off to solve that problem.

In this episode, we check out Thronefall, a minimalist kingdom builder and defender. It's really good.

We headed back to the Lodge and found out we would need a better grav drive for the next Artifacts. We sold some stuff, upgraded our drive, and headed out. We got one Artifact, the other we are still working on.

For this episode of NEWvember, I check out Shadows: Awakening. It's an isometric ARPG, which are games I really like. Unfortunately, I was not smart enough to even get out of the starting area. I did look up the solution, however, and found that a lot of other people had the same problem. 

We started out re-finishing the art installation. The geodes are now part of our collection. We also spent some more time in the Shimmering Frontier and wandering around to find some cavelings, which did not go very well.

Time for another NEWvember video. This time I'm taking a look at Wartales. It's an open world RPG with turn based combat. It's a good game and easy to pick up, but it's maybe not for me.

We start off on the Moon to get some information. We then get to head to the ruined husk of Earth to visit NASA. We find out some...interesting information and get another Artifact.

For this second episode of NEWvember, I check out Necromunda: Hired Gun. It's a Warhammer 40K FPS with a touch of looter shooter. The first chapter was not bad.

We follow the trail of clues to find out more about the Unity. We end up conversing with a couple Starborn who ended up pointing us towards the Moon.

The first video for NEWvember! We start things off by checking out Dune: Spice Wars, which is a nice RTS. It was quite enjoyable.

We are able to get away with the Artifact and don't even have to kill everyone on the ship. Once back to the Lodge, we find we have some...problems, with one of the Starborn.

It's into another vault where we had to track down seven monoliths. It was a lot of running around, but we were able to get it done. We got some decent loot and even got our bounty finished.

We head out to scoop up two more Artifacts before returning to the Lodge. The game started acting up after that, but we did get to the Eye and on to the next Artifact, though now we need to extract it.

We head back out to get the Solarite boulder hooked up. Turns out we still didn't have enough conveyor belts made, so we had to go back and get even more. It's finally done, though it will take a very long time for it to arrive. And it's time to gather up goodie bags again for the Halloween event.

We get down to business starting with expanding the farm a bit more. We also made the Upgrade Station and got the hazmat suit. Then it was out to try getting the Solarite ore boulder connected to the system. After using 900 conveyor belts, we still need a bunch more just to get it connected up where the Scarlet ore boulder was.

It was off to Neon to buy another Artifact. Of course, it wasn't as simple as that, and we have attracted the attention of an alien race that we don't want.

We spend time in the base area today. More saplings have been put down, we started covering some of the holes in the area we wander through, and even put up some lanterns around the base. 

We head out into the inky blackness of space to rescue Barrett and Heller. We got them both and even got another power while we were out that way. And our inventory is in better shape now, as well.

We putter around the base for a few minutes waiting for the portal to be ready. Then we grab all the stuff we left behind last time. More adventuring in the Shimmering Frontier brought us to our first Solarite ore boulder. Getting it hooked up to the base will be part of a whole project, as it seems at least two other ore boulders expired.

Time for another One Off! This time it's the demo for The Last Exterminator. A 90's style shooter that gives off massive Duke Nukem 3D vibes. The demo is just one level, but it's here twice, as I did two different runs.

We head back out to the Azeos' Wilderness/Shimmering Frontier thing we have going on. We were on the hunt for a particular PoI, which we did eventually find. Once I grabbed a clue, we failed our first attempt and had to walk back again. The second time, we brought some extra stuff with us and were able to grab the Nuclear Battery. We wanted that so we could get the new vendor. We need to go back and get more of our stuff, but we did set up a portal nearby.

We head in to the vault to start off. It went well and we even ended up with some new gear. Then we mostly just hung out at the base and upgraded a couple of our pouches and made one more to replace the shulker box.

We head out on the trail of another artifact. Before we can get that, though, we have to foil a bank robbery. After getting the artifact, we end up dismantling a bandit gang. Yes, they robbed the bank. And weren't too happy that we took the artifact.

We dive straight into the new big patch. We head out and find the new Shimmering Frontier. It's a bit of a challenge, but it looks really cool and there's tons of stuff for us to get. Not the least of which is the new ore, Solarite. We're gonna need lots of it. We grabbed what we could and then head back home to unload and start our two new farming plots.

We set out again to find a village or two. After using Chunkbase to find a couple, it would turn out that we've already been to one of them. The other one was rather stingy with good stuff.

We headed back to the HQ and a little spark finally happened in my head and we've finally found the problem. Now we need to get some more caravans going to get the HQ up to snuff. We also did a couple quests, as well.

It was off to see Vladimir for some leads. He pointed us in the direction of a large distortion that ended up being a temple that bestowed upon us a power. We actually ended up with two powers after heading to a second temple. We will have to play with them and see what they can do.

We head into another vault for fun and loot. We did get a new sword, so it wasn't too bad. Afterwards, I finished off the little farm I had started last time. Unlimited carrots and potatoes will be ours!

We wander off towards the Mantis side quest. We need to do some system hopping to get there and end up in the middle of a fight. It was a bit of a struggle to get through the Lair, but at the end we get the Mantis suit and the Mantis ship called Razorleaf. Good times.

We head back to the Clay Caves in search of yet more grub seeds. We do find quite a few, but more exciting, we found a few new points of interest that have been added to the game since we were really poking around in there so long ago. The loot may not have been amazing, but it was really cool to find these.

We grabbed yet another artifact. Then we got sent to jail and ended up agreeing to become a mole in the Crimson Fleet. Guess I shouldn't have tried to keep those two contraband items.

We've gotten a little closer to the house being done. After a few things at the base, we head off to do some exploring. Mostly what we found was a really big ocean. And a couple beached shipwrecks. And that was about it.

We head off into another vault. We didn't get a ton of stuff, but we were able to complete it, which is a win in my book. I am finally getting some ideas for the base, including a new farm.

We finally track down our lead and get an artifact from him. Then it's off to see Vladimir and track down another artifact.

We mostly just wandered between Diamond City, HQ, and Hangman's Alley. We did do a bit of questing and got yet another living quarters project going. We must not have enough yet, because it says there's no room.

It's off to The Lodge to drop off the artifact. After a small amount of pilfering, we head back out into space to chase after someone else who has an artifact.

We head out to find some more grub seeds. While wandering around we actually found a ton of slimes and larva. We even found part of the wall that was still around for some reason. One more floor pillow was also made, so we only need one more.

With our trusty Cutter, we head into the mines and recover our first Artifact. It knocks us for a loop but we recover. Then we need to deal with some pirates, learn to fly, and take out a pirate leader.

We head into the vault and get a brand new vault theme. After completing the vault, the loot was...underwhelming. Then it's some random stuff around the base and giving crafting a new sword another shot. That didn't go great either. We have a vault ready for next time, as well.

We head back in to take on the last two Grand Masters and Ronald to end things. While drawn out at times, we hit 3-0 today to claim the legendary cards!

We got ourselves out of the cave and back home. We made a new set of diamond armor and we've started enchanting it. We even finished off the stairway finally. Got a couple other small things done, as well.

We take on the first two Grand Masters. We had to take on each multiple times and tweak our deck a bit, but we are halfway through them now.

It's into the Water Club to get the final medal we need. While there were a couple setbacks, and an odd lack of water cards, we finally came out on top with our shiny medal.

This was not a shining moment. We took down the last Fire Club member and then, well, eventually defeated the Fire Club Master and got the last medal.

We took on the Science club and got ourselves that shiny medal. Then it was off to the Fire club where we got halfway through it. Next time, Fire medal!

We headed in to the vault again and got a vault theme we hadn't seen yet. We completed the vault and got some pretty good loot overall. Another vault is ready to go for next time.

We took on the Grass Club and got that medal. Then it was off to the Psychic Club to grab that medal, as well. After that was a very tight duel with Ronald. We won every duel today, which feels good. Sometimes the cards fall your way. Three clubs left.

We headed out to the Psychic Club, but we can't battle the master yet. So, instead, we found the Fighting Club members and headed off to get the Fighting medal. It took two tries, but we got that medal. We have three medals now!

We head back out in search of some more meadows. We found one meadow with just two cute and delicious animals in it. We also found a new potted plant, so I would say our adventure was a rousing success!

We got quite a few duels in, though not all of them went our way. We were able to get the Rock Club medal, though. Then our rival beat us, and we can't do that a second time. Oh well.

We finish off the Lightning Club and get the Lightning Medal. Then it was off to the Rock Club where we get beaten by a Fighting Club member. The cards were not in our favor today.

We head out to kill some time while waiting for stuff at the HQ. We head off to Diamond City and do some shopping and then do the Confidence Man questline. After that, it was back to the HQ.

We are off to collect the Legendary Pokemon Cards! I have a bit of rust to shake off, but we won both duels we were in. We'll get this on lockdown yet.

After getting some torches going, we head back to the cave one more time! We found a few new sections and got some diamonds. In the end, however, we did a bit of branch mining and ended up getting all the diamonds we need for now.

We head into the vault to check out the new loot from the most recent update. It's rather interesting. We worked on the homestead a tiny bit and also did some quest stuff. Progress has been made.

We head out to the Wilderness to try and track down some meadows. We were less than successful in this endeavor. We did get one more floor pillow done and only have two more to go.
