crossover_chickYeah, didn't quite manage everything on the to-do list today -- though I did get a lot done:
1. Watch the remaining GrayStillPlays video and the Plumbella videos I have in my Watch Later -- ideally, I will also get to the CallMeKevin stuff. -- This was the big win, as I did get to the CallMeKevin stuff! And that was WITH adding another GrayStillPlays video to the bunch, plus catching up on James Turner's latest "Rags To Repayment" episode! I'm not going to go over every video, since there were nine altogether, but some favorite highlights were:
1) Gray playing an "election simulator" with a really bad model for the male "make your own Independent" as an evil AI out to Enslave All Humans -- and winning by a landslide (seriously, it's great, the game is both so low-budget and yet so perfect -- and the TV ads you can play are HILARIOUS).
2) Kevin playing Counterstrike with the Desktop Goose -- a widget someone made that puts the goose from Untitled Goose Game on your desktop to cause problems like stealing your moose and dragging things onto the screen. Kevin -- did shockingly well for having to deal with an obstructed view and his cursor occasionally getting nommed. XD
3) Kevin playing Speaking Simulator, which is one of those "you have to individually move things around to do something" games (think QWOP, only with a tongue to make sounds) -- you're a robot, sent to infiltrate human society, and you have to talk to people intelligibly so they don't get suspicious. Your USB teeth falling out, your eyebrow spasming and sparking, and your EYE popping out revealing wires and gears won't necessarily give the game away, but bad speech? Yup, that'll do it. XD
4) Plumbella rating all the Sims 4 packs currently out -- she actually likes Spooky Stuff more than a lot of people, and really likes the club system from Get Together (which I practically ignore, so that's interesting). I was pleased to see Vampires made it pretty high up on her list, though -- yeah, they set the bar high for occults/sci-fi Sims in this game, and I'm not sure it's ever quite been met yet (though Spellcasters give it their best shot!).
5) "Rags To Repayment" has officially transitioned to "Rags To Revivement" -- the broken robot exploded, leaving another tombstone and another death on everyone's conscience, and currently both Bob and Trash are going to space every chance they can to collect space rocks to get an orchid so they can splice it with a pomegranate to get a Death Flower and eventually combine THAT with an angel fish to make Ambrosia to EVENTUALLY bring back all the dead people. One by one. XD (Yes, there are easier methods, but he refuses to use them because they're easier.) I'm just waiting for him to accidentally kill off Trash and/or Bob in a crash landing now. XD
2. Play Sims 4 -- Emma now needs to age up as she's been a kid long enough (I'm planning a movie theater party and her first "adult" aspiration to be from the Nature category). -- Also done! Emma did indeed have her party at the Luxury Lane Movie Theater in Willow Creek, and she did indeed choose a Nature aspiration (I started with Outdoor Enthusiast, then switched to The Collector because that one will be easier to get a jump on). Better yet, I finally threw a gold-level birthday party! :D It was a near thing, as the last goal was having one of the adults make a toast, but I managed it with Victor and a can of soda, whew! Also all the other patrons coming over to help themselves to free cake helped a lot too. XD I redid her room to show off her new teenage status, and will be doing makeovers for her and Eliza next time I play. Emma actually takes quite a bit after her Mom, though she's definitely got Dad's face shape -- I'll have to show you guys a photo later.
3. Do the Vemilicia photo shoot and get that sorted, and finish the ship meme so I'm ready for Friday. -- This one only got mostly done -- I'm still working on the ship meme, though I did make some good progress last night. The photo shoot went well, though -- I set the toys up in the kitchen this morning while my parents were out antiquing, took a bunch of shots, figured out which ones were best, then edited them appropriately. So now that and my three Valicetines are waiting in the wings for Friday! :)
4. Write some more on "Secundus 2." -- Done and dusted -- the McFly family is adapting to their new guests, we've had a bit on the bathing accomodations and the history of Hill Valley, and now Victor is off to put his foreshadowing inside Doc's train inside Seamus's barn. :p
5. Fit in a workout video at some point. -- All right, this one was a fail, unfortunately. I blame the way I had to time my Sims-playing -- since there was a new patch, it took longer to actually get going on the game, and of course PLAYING the game always takes longer than I think it will. . .I thought, since my parents had a late lunch, I could maybe still sneak in a video, but nope, I was just about to start at the same time supper would have, soo. . . Tomorrow!
Even with that, though, it was a good, productive day. :) Even got about half of my pictures done for the next Newcrest Adventures update, w00. Plus I already answered comments in my inbox, and I'm gonna finish up my Valice Multiverse queue now. And then it's off to bed, for my happily-shorter week. Just gotta get through the next four days. . .and then we'll see what happens for Friday! :) Night all, sleep tight!
