Today’s Game is Old School RuneScape. I felt like shit after pulling an All Nighter last night for an Assignment so I didn’t want to start Nightmare mode of Episode 5 of Alan Wake. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Challenge. But I wasn’t in the mood for it today. On top of that my Usual Friends I play multiplayer were gone, so I decided to dick around in OSR by myself.

I don’t play very often (as you can see by my amateur armor and equipment) but I like the vibe of the game, and the Soundtrack is one of my favorites. I love how it sounds, specifically Newbie Melody, Yesteryear, and Sea Shanty 2. And the graphics have a charm to them I love with their rudimentary polygons.

I took the screenshot in a little village market I spawned in, before teleporting back to the usual spawn, and did a quest where I had to help this chef guy gather some things. Then I ran around the castle stealing boots. I then took a walk over to a big city and fought some bandits. Overall I think I got my relaxed day.

I’m hoping to get back to Alan Wake tomorrow, but the day after I think I’ll probably take it easy again because I’m going to a concert that’s running late.

Aye, going into it now with the knowledge of where most stuff is has definitely taken some of the shine off. I'm currently playing it again though. It's a bloody black hole that I can't escape from long term.
