Finally getting back in to VR Amplified, and we immediately find ourselves surrounded by jerks who wouldn't let me just sleep my way to morning. A group of Pillagers and a Drowned with a trident all conspired in this. Eventually, we were able to sleep and then run away from them, mostly to get them to despawn. Beyond that, we had some poking around the area to do and materials to gather, both of which we need to do more of.

We have the walls all finished up now. Then came time to decide on the roof. After finally settling on the basalt cobble, we had to set out to get some. After getting back and fumbling around on top of the house, it would turn out that we did not bring enough back. Time to go get more!

We finally make our way to Diamond City. We've picked up some quests, did some trading, and even picked up Piper and Sheffield. Next up, it's time to knock out some quests.

Back to work on the mine project today. We were able to finally complete digging out the main 3x3 area. Now it's on to doing the floor! We will get this done yet.

Today we headed out twice to get ourselves what we need to work on the new house. We have made good progress, and we were even able to grab some iron and a few other random things. Work continues.

We arrive at the Gate, where it is time for one more battle. Despite a not great showing, we were able to take down The Will, and destroy the Gate. And now, we are finished.

We make our way into the Bunker today. It takes a long time, but we make it through. And the same guy who designed the Manor designed this, too. I really have no idea how people use these every day.

Today, we have to barely survive a train crash and break out way out of the Manor. We were able to complete our objective, though I do have to question the architect of this building. Anyways, we only have two levels left to go.

We made it the rest of the way to the Elite 4 without too many problems. Then we grabbed some stuff from the Pokemart and headed in. Four Elite trainers, all four fall. And then, hanging on by a thread, Lance falls. And that was that. We have become the Pokemon League Champion!

Our little home is already far too small to be workable. So, today we headed out for some exploration and to chop down some trees for an upgrade. We have the basic layout down, but we need to go gather up a few other things to add a little character to what will be our new home.

We finish off the Train Station today. Turns out, the route I was taking through the area to find the next spot to go to actually made it very difficult to identify. We have gotten the train moving again, though it seems that did not go well in the end.

Today we head out of Sanctuary and down to Concord. We grabbed Dogmeat, got some vendors going, and started on the Museum of Freedom.

After a bit more random wandering, we finally go for the next gym. We were able to clear the ice gym, though it did take a few trips to the Pokemon Center. We've gotten a couple more Pokemon and we're now on our way towards the next town.

It's time to clear out more stone. After a few more stone pickaxes, we went and made two enchanted iron pickaxes. They're not the best, but should be worth it.

We cleaned up the last of the Rockets for now. Well, after I totally forgot where we were and wandered around aimlessly for a bit. We even ended up with a new team member. That counts for something, right? 

Today was about a bit of exploration. We headed out to scout the coast and hopefully find a village. We did find one, but it's an abandoned village. Useful for getting a zombie villager or two, but not what I was hoping for. Then we get lost a little bit on the way back. We got home, though. 

It's time to make our way through the mall. It's mostly abandoned, which is on point. Still some tech issues, though we're knocking them out. 

It's back down into the depths of the world to get more work done. We've gotten a whole ton of stone and had a small adventure or two. 

We're back into it. We started off taking care of that gym and we were on the road again. Up to Lake Of Rage and then we head off to smash some Team Rocket bits. 

Back to work on the staircase down to the mine. We got that all finished and now we're on to the next project. Or part 2. Or something like that. Also, a Drowned with a trident didn't like me much. 

We dive into Chapter Two. We get rid of all the cultists, and even find more than half the secrets. That's pretty good for us. The areas where it tried to die were maybe less good. 

Today we mostly wander around collecting experience and friends. We even found someone new to slide into the party. I think we can try the gym again soon.

Cultic is back! Chapter Two came out a bit over a month ago, and now it's time to take it on. First, though, is a lovely little interlude. It would have been better if the computer hadn't tried to explode during the final fight. Chapter Two awaits! 

While we are jumping in headfirst, we're not falling. Welcome to Minecraft VR Amplified. We managed to get super lucky and spawned at sea level instead of up on a huge mountain. This will get interesting.

Our party is still not great, and we will need to do some leveling. We tried the next gym, but got pasted by the Gym Leader twice. We'll get it done, just maybe slower than would be hoped.

It's back to the staircase today. We have one wall finished up, and the second should be pretty easy to do. We even got some glowstone for lighting, though it didn't work like I expected. We got it fixed up, though.

Today we did some wandering north to the next "city." We also rearranged the party and tried to get some leveling in, though things could have gone better.

Today we have a very fancy matchbox from Rice Oldsmobile. They have been closed for a very long time.

We spent some time taking on trainers and trying to catch some Pokemon. It could have gone better. Our other egg has hatched, so we have room for a full team again, as well. 

Today we started out heading to the north. While we didn't get too far overall, we did get a good bit of level grinding in. I'm not sold on our team yet. Going to take a bit more work. 

It took longer than I might have liked, but we are back on the Wii U. We went back to work on the stairway to the mine, and that's more or less it. We've made good progress on it.

We did not get a ton done. We worked on some level grinding, but more importantly, we got ourselves the third badge!

Today we head back into the forest, on the way to Goldenrod. We actually had some luck catching Pokemon today, and we tweaked the party lineup a few times. We also did the Underground to get the Coin Case.

Just a bit of playing CloverPit. It's really good.

Today, we ended up taking on two bosses, and then we ended the game. I probably shouldn't have been surprised, but I was.

Today we get to redo a few things, because I somehow didn't save the game. At least it wasn't too long. And we also grabbed the second gym badge. And yes, the audio is off. Oops.

Into the cave we go! We grab the loot and then try capturing a new Pokemon. It didn't work. We also sent Team Rocket running, and we're just about ready for the next gym.

Today, we went to the Sprout Tower, did a little leveling, and even beat the first gym!

Today we got the potion room going. It's also the Alchemy Room now. It seems, though, that this room is a little too small to include all the explosives. I figured since they're in the same table, they should be in there. Need to consider this more.

Today, we work on getting our party set up for the first gym. Mostly, that just meant leveling, but we did catch several more Pokemon as well.

Finally getting around to another Pokemon randomizer. So far, the RNG gods have given us a really rough start. We can push through it, though.

Another matchbook from the collection. This one is from the Stardust and it's an old one. And all the matches are there, even!

After a lot of thought, I've decided it's time to end this particular series. There's many reasons for it. But fear not, Minecraft will still be on the channel, just not this particular world.

We finished off the new pet room, for now at least. And we also wandered off to the Sunken Sea to take on the next titan, Crydra. I was most pleased that it went well. First try was all we needed. Also, I forgot to unmute the mic for the first part. Oops.

A matchbook from Red Angel Pizza in Fort Wayne. It seems it's been closed for a long time, and was part of a small chain. Even the website doesn't work.  I couldn't find much info on it.

I have a decent sized matchbook collection, and I am going to start documenting them here. First one is from The Magic Pan Creperie.

Today we jump back in to Core Keeper to get some things done. We were able to hook up two Galaxite boulders. We also found a gold boulder we will need to hook up. And we started moving our pets to the new animal area.

A very special video for a very special fifth anniversary of my channel restart. It's definitely...special.

Short random update.

Today was just a quick update on my Ulnar Tunnel Syndrome. It's going well.

Back into Core Keeper! Today we headed out and took down one of the remaining titans. Druidra put up a decent fight, and this is the first time we've come up against something with multiple health bars, but we were well prepared and now Druidra is no more.

We have done it. We have finished off the Musgoat. It helped that I figured out that the wrong gearshifter was in the car. It was the last part, of course. But we did it.

It's time to pay back hell for everything we've gone through. Many demons die, and our dragon is avenged.

It's time for the mech! We pummel some demons and then face off against...a Old One Cyberdemon? I think? Then we go one on one with Ahzrak. Twice. And the jerk killed our dragon.

We are no longer a zombie Slayer. Many more demons thought they should stand in front of me. They had a bad day. Kreed got in the way, too, but not for long.

And...now we're a zombie. We can still destroy a few hundred demons, though. And steal a ship. And then crash it into a building. Just a typical day, really.

I'm not sure why it's so big, or why there are so many demons inside, but we are able to give the big guy a rather nasty bellyache. Trying to rescue Thira goes less well, unfortunately.

We head into the temple, hot on the trail of Theria. It throws a lot at us, but we throw it back at them. And then we become a snack.

We head into the swamp to get two pieces of the key we need for the next portal. And I fail to find all the dog statues again. We're heading into a temple that's probably not super inviting.

We're still on the hunt for the last parts we need, but that list actually got smaller today. While we still need a few things, I think I know what are left. I realized after finishing that the gear shifter is still the wrong one.

We romp and stomp our way through the City, so we can open up a portal to send us on our way. And we even got the last melee weapon while we were at it.

It's time to ride a dragon and wake up an ancient deity. According to the tower, I would guess its name is Nerathul, though he looks like someone else. Anyone for an Elder God?

We finished off the bone walls as a final hurrah. We're going to end this and start fresh at some point. There's just so much that we've missed from the new patches. It's for the best.

It's dragon time! Of course, I kinda forgot how it worked for a few minutes. My brain did finally kick in, though, and we made our way through. Of course, they stole our allies, or maybe "allies." Time for a rescue!

Just a little update with a brief discussion of my hand/wrist injury. It's actually Ulnar Tunnel Syndrome. And it sucks. 

We head out to see what we can find. Turns out, it's not a whole lot, and we somehow lost a part somewhere. I'm sure next time will be better.

We find ourselves on the station at the same time that Kreed is supposed to meet with the humans. And then the station is attacked. Who would have seen that coming? Silly Makyrs.

It's mech time again! I fumble it a little bit, but we make it through to the fortress. Then we head inside and, well, we don't really accomplish a whole lot.

Now that Chase The Skies is out, I thought it would be a good time to jump back in to our old game for a bit. We did get the new music disc, but that was it. We got...a little bit lost in the Nether. Eventually, we did get back home, but it took a while.

It's time to press the offensive, so we make our way to Hell? I think. It said that, and it looks right. Anyways, we need to get into the fortress. How? Very large gun. Not a BFG. Bigger.

We head in to take care of a ton of demons and get the forge powered up. It apparently uses an actual heart. And now our shield is powered up even more with the unlocking of runes.

Continuing our road trip was very unfruitful today. We even had horrible luck with PoI's not having any cars hanging around. Maybe next time will be better.

It's time to make our way through a forest just full of demons, and no mech action. On the bright side, we have a grenade launcher now. On to the forge!

More new stuff to play with, more stuff to put in the art installation. We've also started making plans for a new room for the pets, and repurposing the old one.

It's time to finish cleaning up this invasion. Everyone gets away, and we even rescue the king. Next, mech time!

It seems the Makyrs are losing control of the Doom Slayer. No time for that, though, we have a city to protect! Many demons die. Also, melee gun?

It's dragon time! Well, more like mecha-dragon time. Either way, dragon! We take down the ships controlling the barrier into the heart of the city, and eventually grab control of the Heart Of Argent.

We make our way through the sentinel barracks, causing much mayhem as we go. Now if only I could stop trying to reload my weapons. Next time: Dragon!

Today we answer the question "What are you doing?" It's very underwhelming.

Now we get to control a mech and wreck basically everything. Also, explosion. Good times.

It's back out on the road to see what we can find. Unfortunately, we were unable to find any parts that we needed. We are also in a bit of a desperate state with the tires. Hopefully, we will find some good stuff next time.

While on the way through Hebeth, we were able to snag some pretty nice gear. Our arsenal is taking shape nicely.
