Happy New Year Fortnite

In this game, there are few things more intimidating than John Wick with a lightsaber.
I can’t really complain about all the wins I get with Crystal. One squad I ended up second place only to have one of our members criticize me as if I wasn’t pulling my own weight. Everyone else was eliminated & I got us second. He can’t really complain about that, but somehow, he found a way.
This was one of the greatest wins Max & I ever had in a squad. At the end I had a double elimination. We started a squad with a couple guys I knew & those two were eliminated. Max & I kept going & kept fighting & we were able to get away from another squad & get into a house. I pulled every trick I could think of. We even hid in some snowmen on the second floor for what seemed like forever. I had to tell Max the plan, we weren’t going to move & we just listened while the other squads fought. There were probably three squads left at the point Max & I escaped when our other two squad members got eliminated. We hid well in those snowmen & then Max thought we should move when the next circle formed & I agreed. We got lucky too as the storm closed in on our location. I saw the final three players building high. They all had gold guns, which I discovered later. I hit their building with my remaining explosives & we went to the back left of the house where they spotted us. I built some & with no time to explain, I left Max there. I doubled back around the right side of the house & hit one of them from below. He was already in the white, meaning he had no shields left. This mad him withdrawal into his building & I continued to shoot my gold AR which I fished out of the river. I kept throwing walls up in front of me while Max laid down cover fire. With the one guy hiding & the other two trying to down Max, I managed to get below their building & shoot out the floor. One dropped down & I knocked him, a second guy dropped down & I knocked him too, using my shotgun on both of them. As the third guy dropped, he realized it wasn’t Max shooting & knocked me. His mistake because at that point Max took him out & we got the win. This automatically restored my health & I stood up, for the win.
This is what it looks like during New Years in Fortnite.

I am almost done with the prestige stretch goal missions.
I was pretty happy with this win. I felt like I earned it.
People were really enjoying my jam.
Not my favorite skin, but I do like it.
Crystal wins again!
I really like this E.L.F. but people seem to enjoy shooting at him & the trouble is, they hit!
Crystal’s biggest enemy, is another Crystal.
This game was complicated. Bottom line, it was a duo & we won.
I’ve been joking that I’m going to change my name to Kevin Wick.
I’m trying to only play Wick when I know I’m in the zone.

Fortnite 12-29-2019

I won 22 games today. I didn’t play a lot yesterday because I went to bed early. I was tired after gaming so much. However, winning 22 games in a day is a new record for me.
I was stoked to hit level 350.
I got this win with a few trap kills. For some reason people were really hating my clown skin so I changed it after this game.
This suppressed rifle is such a great gun.
They put Crystal back in the item shop so that’s even more reason to play Aura, aka, my Ratchet Bitch.
I also got a win today with the Yule Trooper.
When John Wick wins, people don’t really seem that surprised. I hit someone with a lump of coal in this game.
Fish Wick wins again! I had a lot of fun playing this character & I am glad I purchased it.
It’s fun playing this character too. Aura is difficult to hit & has an interesting costume.
I literally won this game without ever leaving the storm. Yeah, sometimes I even amaze myself.
I hope they get another guitar rift in the item shop again soon.
The John Wick wins just sort of racked up again.
I didn’t really think about it but I tend to get really focused when I play John Wick. I say things such as, “I’m John Wick.”
I did experience some lag today, or really, a lot of latency. But I ordered a new Ethernet cable as well & I expect to run slightly better once I get that installed. I tried to win a few games with the E.L.F. but this is the only one I actually won.
These rumbles tend to get a little build crazy.
I suppose part of it too is that I don’t feel as much pressure playing John Wick since so many people appreciate this skin.
Haters gonna hate. There is no shortage of people trying to kill Aura.
I didn’t really notice how much time passed. This happens to me when I start bingeing on video games.
Max looks happy with this win. I have to admit, I was too, because I nearly hit my prestige mission elimination count.
I won a lot of games by basically building a giant fort & rallying everyone to it.
Fish Wick wins! I call him Fish Wick because this is the Fishstick skin with John Wick’s back bling. I won this duo with Max. We had to sneak through some cornfields but I had said I hoped it came down to us versus one guy & it did fortunately. Two duos fought it out at the edge of the storm only one player emerged & we were there to ambush him. I had him in a panic with my snowball launcher & Max eliminated him with a shotgun.
Max & I won a couple duos as well as some team rumbles. This duo match went very well. I was knocked twice but it worked out in the end. I basically charged up on the last guy & got his attention while swinging my lightsaber around & destroying his base & while he focused on me, Max eliminated him with a shotgun. I actually did have another win but I was so exhausted from gameplay that I forgot to screenshot it. At that point I knew it was time to take a break.

I finally started to hit some of these prestige missions! It gave me multiple levels.
Max & I did some Zone Wars FFA. He won one. I got second.
In this case I won one & Max got second.
This is just before I started hitting my prestige mission goals. I won this game with my friend Crayon.
This is just before I started hitting the prestige mission goals.
I can’t complain about that.
The EXP bonus really helped things move along.

Fortnite 12-27-2019

I was jamming out late game in a Zone Wars FFA. People were probably wondering what I was doing as most of them were scrambling for their lives before they were eliminated. Then they get eliminated only to pop to my screen where I’m just jamming for the last minute or so.
Here is what I have left for the prestige missions. In the future I’m going to adjust the image quality. I had lowered it to get the page to load faster but I’m not entirely happy with the quality. We’ll see how future posts look now, but that’ll be tomorrow. If at that point it’s too slow, I’ll bring it back down.
Max & I got a couple of squad wins today. This was one of them. It was fun because they just didn’t stand a chance against us. As I was saying when I took out that other squad by myself, it’s all about timing. In this case, we had the timing down perfect & likely left the other squad wondering what even happened. Max started taking guys out and I shotgunned the final guy in the face. I actually had to tell Private Leaf to be quiet when we were getting ready to ambush these guys because he started talking over me as I was explaining the plan. Time was of the essence, as they say, & when I said go, I went, & I heard Max say, are you sure? I said yes & Max followed. I took out the first guy with a shot to the head as I went up the hill before, as I was saying, Max started tearing into the rest. It was great getting the final elimination & we jammed some with our guitar emotes afterward. Private Leaf left for the lobby too quickly & that’s why he isn’t in the screenshot.
Got a win with what I’m now referring to as my Ratchet Bitch.
I won this squad with LitTrashBag & Max. We also had a decent random member from the playerbase. I did need to reboot LitTrashBag & we built a fort on the other side of the bridge while fighting the final two squads. It wasn’t as easy of a win as the last one, as we fought several squads leading us to victory along the way. I sent at least eight rockets towards the final squad, destroying the bridge, knocking out some shields, & destroying most of their fort. Then Max killed three in a row. This left one alive. I followed Max in & he got the final kill too.
I really like this new Dark Elf. It’s a variant skin for Codename E.L.F. which is purchasable in an online bundle. I really don’t know how they get away with charging tax on a virtual item, but I guess the IRS gets its way.
So I bought Private Leaf, now known as private-leafy, a Cozy Commander skin. I had grouped with Max when Leaf & his friend arrived. Leaf says, “Hey Kevin” & then proceeds, along with his friend, to do the “we’re not worthy” emote. So, I decided to start jamming w/ Max.
It’s great when players want to show you respect. He flew all the way to my location just to give me a high five.
These John Wick wins just didn’t stop.
I honestly lost track of how many there were.
Some people think the game is easy, but then I look at their stats & see how often they win, &, well, it’s not a lot. Sure, some people hack, some people make it their life, but that’s beyond where I’m going with this game.
It was nice to get some consecutive wins in again.
More wins with Crayon.
Crayon & I did quite a few games, especially since we kept winning.
I got this win early in the AM with Crayon.
Messing with the wrong people in this game will get you eliminated.
I got a few eliminations with the rocket launcher.
Look at all that EXP. In fact, I hit the 800k bonus in this game, shooting up in levels. At this point I started to take my break.
This was an interesting game. We landed on my normal spot & while I was up at the satellite dishes the rest of the squad was ambushed. I then went down there, eliminated the other squad, grabbed everyone’s reboot cards, & rebooted them. I did all of this with this common skin I’m now calling my Ratchet Bitch.
