Shovel Knight

October 10, 2020

Shovel Knight

This quirky throwback to old style gaming got me hooked pretty quickly. Although the game is fairly straightforward I found myself wanting to continue attempting to get further and further even though I have a bunch of games that I need to be getting to at the same time. I don't know how far I will get into it but I can promise you I will be putting more time into it than I have so far!

 As a magnificent warrior known across the land thanks to your prowess with a shovel you're only failure caused you to lose your partner in battle. After years of waiting your opportunity for vengeance has finally arrived! Fight your way through hordes of evil creatures to reach your goal and hopefully find some peace.

Whether you're a hardcore gamer or a casual pastime player you'll enjoy this game. As a nice way to pass the time it is not too difficult but in its simplicity it does bring challenges. One of the first extremely frustrating points for me was defeating the boss only to fall through a gap in the ground immediately after.

Keep your wits about you and your shovel out! I highly recommend trying out Shovel Knight, I'm sure you'll dig it.

Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War beta Day 2

The game is a blast to play. I am not one who tends to play these competitive first person shooters but I'm starting to think maybe I should be spending more time playing them. I did get better over the course of playing but still got obliterated each round. Some of that was due to glitching in the game but generally it was just me.

I don't play a lot of competitive first person shooters. Call of Duty specifically I haven't played since high school.

Nintendo has adamantly stated that the DS would not be brought to an end because of the Switch. This was hard to believe as the Nintendo Switch is very similar to the DS consoles. Staying true to their word for much longer than anticipated their latest update may bring an end to the DS.
