No_Look Stream Recap

Metal Gear Survive. The recaps were beginning to make it look like I play ONLY first person shooters.

Ok, so yeah, let’s address the elephant in the room. I have failed to recap the previous two streams, and honestly it was ONLY because I didn’t run a point redemption for the chat leaderboard on either of the past two streams.

I believe Aug. 31st was a Modern Warfare 4 BETA stream where I intended to just have a taste, but was joined so I continued to play since I wasn’t solo. The stream before this one I think was the premier Metal Gear Survive stream. Basically just a stream about procuring the “drill” of which you can catch the gist of HERE. It was a brief stream and the link skips up to the point where I begin the ‘challenge’.

Why THIS game? I guess because I’m a Kojima fan. This doesn’t have a whole lot to do with the Metal Gear story, but you still feel the way it gets in your head. Metal Gear Solid games were very cerebral and really mess with your thinking. Metal Gear Survive is very much a mental game as much as a survival game. You need to think outside of the box to accomplish objectives. Running in guns blazing just won’t work all of the time. I admire the mental effort required.

At the end of this stream I checked to make sure the website Follower Count was working still because we got a couple new followers, but it WASN’T. So I spent the next day or two replacing the “short code” with an API type solution.

A few insights about upgrading skills. I leaned more towards increasing Endurance but in hindsight, I regret not upgrading the Dexterity. I may do a post on this subject actually, my mind is starting to wander just thinking about it. BUT ANYWAY, endurance is nice because you’re running a lot, but in combat, you REALLY need better dexterity.
