crossover_chickAnd it was more pleasant than yesterday, despite a slow start thanks to my parents coming back with some groceries right before I was set to get out my laptop and log in. Put the radio on earlier, found a bunch of duplicates and deceased to keep me busy most of the day, had just a couple of phone calls again. . .and on my breaks, I was able to do all of the text for my Newcrest Adventures posts for tomorrow, so I didn't have to worry about them tonight! So that was good. :) Got a little boring toward the end, but that happens at the office too, soooo. . .
Anyway, other accomplishments of the day:
-->Made my muffins immediately after ending my shift, so I didn't have to worry about them after supper. They got pretty big this time around! So I'm set for breakfast for the next few days, at least.
-->Didn't get in a workout (Dad was still down there during what would have been my usual time), but I did help Mom some more with the latest puzzle (lighthouses of New England!), so that's something, right?
-->Did write some more on "Londerland Bloodlines" -- Alice has gotten past the train yard undetected; now she just has to sneak her way into that interior office. Over some VERY thin metal beams. . .at least she will have amusing commentary from the NPCs to keep her going?
-->Tonight on YouTube, the prophesied GrayStillPlays Marathon!
1. Back to Grand Theft Auto V – and lookee what we got here, Gray found himself some impossible challenges (in the form of community-made “stunt races”) to play! Very colorful challenges – when I first saw the thumbnails, I thought he was playing some sort of “Hot Wheels” game. But no, apparently “impossible” means “rainbow-flavored” in GTA V. It also means “BRING GRAY TO THE BREAKING POINT,” because holy hell these challenges. The first two “giant multicolored mountains you have to get down in one piece” weren’t so bad, but the one that was made of large wire wheels with random holes in them? Oooh, Gray suffered. And then – then there was the obstacle course. The obstacle course of forever and horror. I can’t adequately describe it – just know Gray said it was worse than HAPPY WHEELS. And we know what THAT’S like.
2. Imagine Lifetimes – hey, did you know you could pop the baby’s skull open at the beginning to see the brain? Gray does. Or, at least he does now – apparently this game about going through life has had a few updates, with a few new endings. Like pissing off your potential bride so much you TRIGGER THE APOCALYPSE. Or eating so many cookies you die before graduation. Or managing to do everything at least sort of right, only to have your life and your stuff destroyed in a storm and failing to pick enough of the right letters in Hangman to survive. XD Makes the ending where you drink laundry detergent and then apparently crawl BACK INTO YOUR MOM look appealing! (Yes, this game has gotten a bit – fucked up.)
3. More Skater XL, now with more pink “Tron” levels. IMPOSSIBLE pink “Tron” levels, that is! Who wants to play “drive Gray crazy with infinite grinds?” The makers of the game do, because there is now a level with two rails, both of which are crazy long. The first rail you must go all the way down while doing tricks and trying not to get yeeted by physics. The second rail only requires one trick – jumping from rail to rail as it’s split into non-continuous sections. Gray kind of hated rails, skateboarding, and life after finally figuring out the trick to THAT one. Poor guy, he tortures himself for us so. :p
4. GTA V Impossible Stunt Races Round 2! :D Two more “down the horrifying ramp” challenges – including one with moving stop signs and wind turbines placed at strategic points – and another obstacle course made by Satan. Now featuring the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups of doom (aka two lines of some weird spongy circle things that it is very easy to get your car stuck on). Gray completed the course, but I’m starting to think he is genuinely aging ten years every time he does. XD
5. Of course, Happy Wheels has to come back to defend its title of Evilest Game. Extra-long bottle runs with surprise invisible sections? Yes. A pogo jump with his furious Sims characters standing in his way, ensuring Gray will get at least one sai up the ass? Yes. An “ez-win” challenge that – wait, this one is legit, you literally just ride forward to win. O.o Sandwiched between a pair of bottle flips where Gray once again proves he is the master of getting bottles into impossible gaps. XD Love it!
-->And I've gotten both my queues done for VictorLuvsAlice and Valice Multiverse, so yaay. :P Now I just have to finish up any comments I still have, and then head to bed. As far as I know, I am heading into the office tomorrow, so I have a lunch and everything all prepped. We'll see if anything changes in the morning. At least it's only three days, then another long weekend. A long weekend with a cleaning Saturday, but hey. :p Anyway -- night all!
