Much More Productive Sunday

crossover_chickI happily seemed to have TV Tropes-ed myself out the other day -- and having the "fall back" portion of Daylight Savings on my side helped matters too, since it allowed me to technically get up earlier. Managed to get a lot more done today:
-->Played BioShock Infinite -- after much looting and killing of guards, we found our gunsmith unfortunately already dead from the wounds inflicted on him by his captors. However, we also found a tear that -- well, I thought these things took you into other realities, but when Elizabeth opened it, it seems to have OVERWROTE the reality we were in? Not only is the gunsmith alive (courtesy of marrying a different woman, it appears), two guards I killed are too -- except they seem to recall being dead? And the gunsmith, Lin, is glitching in a disturbing way. . . At any rate, we're currently in Shantytown, trying to recover Lin's tools so he can make the guns for Fitzroy. Got to do a nice thing with the tears for once by pulling in some food from another reality to feed some desperate starving people. (I of course immediately took all the money from the vending machine they were tearing apart, but still.) I'm honestly surprised I haven't come across another Vigor yet -- not that I've been using much of anything beyond Murder of Crows and Shock Jockey, admittedly. They're both way too good to ignore. We'll see what happens when we reach the police station.
-->Also played Sims 4! Yup, managed a double today! Had my first Winterfest with the McFly family -- which turned into a logistical nightmare by the end as I tried to coordinate everyone to do things like decorating the tree and opening presents together. Marlene actually got to open TWO gifts as, for unknown reasons, her first one didn't count for the "opening presents" tradition. Kind of frustrating, I have to say! At least I managed to make it so everyone had an excellent holiday, and they got some nice stuff from their prezzies, so. . . Did NOT get a chance to grow up Douglas, though. Looks like I'm staying with the family one extra day to do that. Gonna be a relief to move onto the very single Eric after this though, let me tell you.
-->Did another bit of "The Technicolor Phase" -- Alice meeting the Van Dorts for coffee and swapping life stories. It was an interesting chapter to do, simply because a post-A:MR Alice with a post-CB married Victor and Victoria is such a different dynamic than what I usually do in my AUs. They all warmed up to each other pretty fast, though. :) And I'm looking forward to going down the line and finally getting to the full foursome ending bits. :)
-->Caught up on a bunch of my videos -- more 60 Parsecs! from Jay (struggling mightily to get an ending featuring a robot dog -- he succeeded after many, MANY hours of play); an old OXBox list about AI partners that are arguably better than your player character (helpful Elizabeth from Infinite made the list! I have to say, I do appreciate her throwing me ammo and health in firefights); more of the Bigwallets (Luna has finally set up her woodworking store) and an upside-down building challenge (which poor James found SUPER frustrating) from the Sim Supply; and another set of Vampyr from Helloween (Dr. Bitey has been inducted into the club of old classist and racist assholes, has found the apparent point of contagion for the cases of epidemic creeping into the West End, discovered some not-well people who really need help, and found that someone's friend died trying to become a vampire and not succeeding very well). Good times! I still have a new "Super Sim Challenge" vid to watch, but that'll have to wait until tomorrow. Something to look forward to, I guess.
-->Got my tumblr queues done -- always nice to be a bit ahead on those.
*pats back* Good Vicky. Now I just have to finish emptying out my inbox, and head to bed. Full week of work ahead. . .but it's followed by another three-day weekend, so I can't complain too loudly. :p Night all!
