Memories That Make You Cry

Have to write fast, as we seem to be getting thunderstorms. And I just noticed the current LJ header image kind of matches Alice's Silk Maiden dress. XD
( Alice Dies Some More. Also, Spoilers )

Thunder seems to have moved on, hooray.
-RPD: Now, just out of curiosity, how are you going to handle Episode 5 of BTTF: The Game? Comes out today, you know.-
Yeah, I do. My plan of attack is to keep at Alice until I finish Chapter 3, then take a break to play the BTTF Game. Then once Episode 5 is complete, it's back to Alice.
-M2: Good thing our game is so short, huh?-
LOL, yes. Though Episode 5 looks veeery interesting. . .
-HD: Just out of curiosity's sake, how are you doing with your collectibles?-
8/11 pig snouts, 18/19 memories, 3/4 Radula Rooms, 15/18 bottles. I probably won't get all the memories, because in reviewing the ones I have, I seem to have skipped one of the Liddell ones. Ah well, that's what replays are for. Once I've gone through the entire game, then I'll start looking for walkthroughs and suchlike to see what I missed.
And there's the thunder again, so later!

Quickie Section!

I was closer to the end of the chapter than I thought when I quit before.
( Small Spoilers )

So yeah, we're done with the Mysterious East! (Until I go back and search out all the stuff I missed, anyway.) Next up is Queensland, but first, BTTF: The Game Episode 5!

Actually, first is a discussion of an idea I had the other night. We've got DLC skins for all the weapons, each with a special power:
Vorpal Cleaver: Halves damage taken by 50% (looks like a giant cleaver, natch)
Octogrinder: Increases total ammo (It's a squid in a shell -- a nautilus, that's the word)
Knightmare: Heals you with every hit (creepy as hell skeletal reindeer head)
Catnip Cannon: Increases damage down by 50% (it's blue with a yellow eye, a big grin, and an earring XD)
This, combined with a tumblr post where I posted a picture of Victor vs The Queen and mused he'd probably love the Blunderbuss about now, led me to wonder -- could you make skins so that Alice's old weapons could be more or less used in the new game? Here's my breakdown:
Vorpal Blade: Already ported over, so no worries there
Cards: Card-themed Pepper Grinder, shoots cards that home in on target
Croquet Mallet: Flamingo Hobby Horse, not sure what the special power would be
Jackbomb: Jack-in-the-box themed Teapot Cannon, shoots flaming bombs that send out brief jets of fire in all directions
Ice Wand: Ice-themed Teapot Cannon, shoots ice bombs that freeze target/ice-themed pepper grinder, shoots ice missiles that freeze target
Jacks: Jacks-themed Pepper Grinder, shoots jacks that remain to pummel target for a moment
Demonic Dice: I can't really think of a port for these, and I never really used 'em much, so. . . .
Jabberwock's Eye Staff: A properly-reskinned Hobby Horse, when you smack someone they're surrounded briefly by a purple glow that hurts them further
Blunderbuss: Gun-themed Pepper Grinder, shoots a missile that automatically makes it overheat, but annihilates the target and anything nearby
Deadtime Watch: Wouldn't really need a change -- just have to be a special hidden item
I think about these things so you don't have to. :p
