After what seemed like a very long period of time just scrambling over rooftops looking for chests and collectables, I finally decided to pursue the main questline again. Well, after a mission or two for the theatre, anyway.
The next mission was the one where you have to infiltrate Notre Dame and assassinate Sivert. Of course, I messed it up a few times mainly by being spotted or not planning my escape. Eventually, I got my act together and did it properly, or at least an approximation of properly, by taking down Sivert’s associate first, nabbing his keys, and then waiting in the confessional ready to do this:
After that, there was some bizarreness involving portals and timeshifting and jumping between servers or something. Frankly, it didn’t make a lot of sense, and required me to avoid trains, climb the Statue of Liberty, not be hit by flying debris and outrun and avoid data corruption. Or something.
Finally, I returned to wandering around doing good deeds, collecting those rosette things, and generally running into people and knocking them over. As you do.
A throwback week with all that retro stuff. Or a future week with the Trackmania beta?
Play
Assassin’s Creed Unity (PS4)
But not a great deal. I did really badly at the killing a man in Notre Dame mission, and then ran through Paris in some other time period (which was a bit odd), but mainly I just climbed and looked for collectables.
Puzzle & Dragons Z (3DS)
Still doing ALL of the grinding.
Trackmania Turbo Beta (PS4)
It’s a lot of fun, actually.
Retro Stuff
I got myself a new FC30 Pro controller, so set about turning my Raspberry Pi back up with Retropie. Only to find it can’t see the controller. I think I need a different Bluetooth dongle or something. Anyway, it meant I played Sonic the Hedgehog (which I completed) for the Master System, Power Drift and Outrun on the PC Engine, Batman for the Megadrive, Street Fighter Alpha on the Game Boy Colour (also completed) and various Alex Kidd games.
I also got the Firebird Spectaculator app and game pack for iOS, so played a bit of Run Baby Run, Crazy Caverns and The Wild Bunch.
Want
Firewatch (PS4)
They’ve fixed the framerate, so I should pick this up now!
No Man’s Sky (PS4)
When is this out again? June?
Lego Marvel Avengers (PS4)
YES MUCH NEED NAO
Trackmania Turbo (PS4)
The beta won’t last forever, you know.

Shoddy Bluetooth dongles.
