Thought to go back to Red Faction Armageddon today but played Minecraft with Mark instead. I had a hell of a time in the Nether again. I swear they must’ve tweaked some of the gameplay because it just seems harder. The fire damage seems to rip your health faster and the enemies seem super aggressive and have some extra moves on them. I could be imagining it though.

In any case, I figured out that I don’t really need to go to the Nether right away anyway. The mansions that appear in the Overworld now contain loads of books. Enough to construct the enchantment library. So I think my mission from now on will be to make the enchantment table before going to the Nether. Then maybe I can get some of my gear fire resistant before going in there. I’ll probably test this procedure tomorrow.

While I’m here, here’s my pic of my Skylanders Trap Team, Air Element figures I have.

That’s from left to right: Thunderbolt, Gusto, Full Blast Jet-Vac, Blades, and Fling Kong. Missing from my collection in this category are: Legendary Blades, Breeze (mini Whirlwind), Pet-Vac (mini Jet-Vac), Power-Punch Pet-Vac, and Elite Whirlwind (of the Eon’s Elite line).

The Eon’s Elite line, introduced with Trap Team, are figures taken from the first game and given special paint jobs and a 3X boost over other characters. I remember seeing these in the store and not knowing what they were. Now that I know they are much stronger than the normal figures, I want them. It’s nice to want, isn’t it. Unless I find them at a yard sale for throw away prices, I won’t have them. Maybe someday though.
