crossover_chickTook me a little longer to get started in the morning than I wanted (made the mistake of poking around TV Tropes on my iPad), but:
-->I wrote another page on "Secundus 2" (Doc being schmoopy about being in love with Clara, while also acknowledging it puts her in an awkward place with her job -- that'll stop being relevant post-climax)
-->I watched a short Yandere Simulator myths episode by the Kubz Scouts (including Jay playing around with the old delinquents and a time portal effect Yandere-Dev accidentally left in a build)
-->I caught up on Helloween's LPs, including the two latest sets of Deadly Premonition (the weirdo millionaire is finally spilling some of the beans (or seeds, rather) on what's going on in the town, while one important character has gone missing and -- well, things are not looking good evidence-wise. . .also poor Helloween is suffering the curse of the crash. On the plus side, York has his car back and it's super fast and indestructible -- which is good, because Helloween regularly demonstrates how horrible the driving controls in this game are XD); the last set of System Shock 2 (seven minutes to traverse the final level and defeat the final boss, plus watch the ending cutscenes! SS2, you have some cool stuff, but your bosses kinda suck, at least in terms of health bars); and a quick look at a new game being Kickstarted by the director of DP, The Good Life (cutesy little demo involving stuffed sheep, photography, and Helloween accidentally falling off the edge of the world after clipping out of bounds XD). Good stuff!
-->I also caught up on The Sim Supply's "Wags to Riches" LP -- mostly, there's a rather long two-part renovation video of one of the vet clinics I need to make time for. But I'm caught up on actual episodes! Poor James is feeling the stress when it comes to getting five-star vet clinics (especially since his army of roombas, which he spent so much time upgrading, aren't as good as he hoped at keeping the place clean), and has basically decided to just do four stars and get the clinics renovated. And possibly buy back the old Lady Bigwallet Emporium and turn it from a museum (which it became in the "Jungle Adventures" LP) and turn it into a final vet clinic. I hope he does -- that would be fun. :)
-->I did something kind of unprecedented for me these days -- a double gaming session! Yeah, I didn't get a chance to hit BioShock 2 yesterday, so I did a little of it today -- into Fontaine Futuristics, and dealing with Alex the Great. Who is already an annoying shithead -- I'm gonna enjoy killing you, you little freak. Got myself my first Little Sister and completed a gather too -- and killed another Alpha Series Big Daddy! Who was -- rather easy to take down, honestly. Rumblers give me way more trouble. I can see why they decommissioned the line. (I mean, Delta's awesome, but Delta has the advantage of being the player character. XD)
I also hit Sims 4 -- both Emmett and Nikal had a big chunk of days off work, so I sent them off to Selvadorada! Today was mostly about them settling in and getting supplies -- next time I play, it'll probably be off to the jungle! Though I might take a moment to get a few more supplies first. Want to be prepared for all possible eventualities, if I can! I hope I can get them to the temple and find something cool :D Should actually change their aspirations around to the Jungle Explorer ones for a bit, actually, just to get some nice points for reward traits and such. . .
-->I got out for a walk -- the weather wasn't nearly as warm as yesterday, but the rain they forecasted only showed up for a brief sprinkle in the morning. Nice still to get outside and get my walk on, even if I needed a hoodie. We'll see what tomorrow brings now -- it WAS supposed to be nice, but I no longer know.
-->I did my Valice Multiverse queue (there wasn't much to it), and now I'm gonna go and empty out the inbox. Attempting to get to bed a touch earlier. . .and then work tomorrow. I hope this week isn't too bad. Just gotta get through it, and then the week after, I can look forward to four days off. Gotta keep remembering that. *nods* Night all!
