I'm still in On a Rail, but I actually had a fun gaming experience tonight as I did some exploration, used techniques I've picked up a long the way, and figured some things out on my own.

Here are tonight's screenshots:













After not playing for over a week, it took me a little while to remember where I left off. I died a few times after encountering some soldiers, but I practiced bracing myself against a wall and shooting around instead of just walking right in front of a soldier and letting him steal my energy while trying to kill him.

I also continued to use alt-fire which is great until you run out of grenades. I picked up a new weapon which the shack has identified as a det-pack. I'll have fun trying to figure out how to use these. After moving around a while I found my way back to a moving cart and took it around. I came upon some of those trip minds, now the old me would have just run right through them and died, but I stopped the cart, stood back at a distance and shot them, detonating them and not dying.

After taking the cart to a dead end, I found three agressive soldiers that I was able to kill with a grenade toss.

I stopped at a point where a solider is barracaded behind a wall and is shooting me with this stationary shooter. Perhaps this would be a good time to use the det-pack?

We shall see.

I hope readers can tell that I'm enjoying the game although my chances to play are few and far between. A lot of my frustration in the beginning was shear in-experience and not really knowing what I was doing. But the more I play and the more I figure out on my own, the more fun the experience is becoming.
