So I got home from work today and I said to myself, I need to write my weekly blog thingie. I sit down at my desk…and promptly forgot all about it. I started reading news and looking at neat t-shirt designs. Then I got hungry so I went to fix myself some supper. I don’t like to eat in front of the computer, so I turned on the TV to watch The Nerdist episode that I DVRed last night. Then it occurred to me…I still hadn’t written my blog! So here I am, blogging.
This weekend featured a lot of Injustice. I picked the Collector’s Edition on Friday and I played the heck out of it. I finished the story mode and I got through the classic mode with all the heroes and a couple of the villains. I tried some online play because there’s a Green Lantern skin that’s only available if you win a ranked online match. I don’t think I’m going to be able to get that skin. First off, when you ask for a ranked match, you just sit there and wait. You have no idea how many people are out there waiting for ranked matches. I tried several times throughout the weekend and only managed to find three opponents (funnily enough they were one right after the other) and then promptly got my butt handed to me. The matches weren’t even close. You can play other online matches with much less difficulty and I did manage one win (out of seven or so) but since it wasn’t ranked, I didn’t get the skin. Apparently I’m not the only one with this problem, so I hope they make ranked matches more appealing so people actually play them…that or they change the requirement to get the skin.
The other disappointment is that there are a number of skins (and achievements, but I care less about those) that can only be unlocked if you play the Injustice iOS game. I’m an Android user so that means no skins for me. I’m going to have to borrow my mom’s iPad at some point.
Those are the only disappointments I’ve had with the game other than I wish they could somehow fit in ALL my favorite DC heroes into it. It really is a sweet fighting game.
With all that gaming, I did manage to get my two strips drawn. The new storyline begins tomorrow. I haven’t figured out how to end it yet. It hasn’t gone the way I thought it would. I’ll talk more about how things changed when we get deeper into the arc.
Well, with that little tease, I’m going to sign off for this week. Enjoy the week’s Funnies!
