Happy 13th Anniversary Alice :D
Oct. 6th, 2013 10:06 pmMan, 13 years old. . .the franchise is officially a teenager. :P My playtime today consisted of finishing off Mirror Image -- with one of my best runs for the robot gauntlet that comes right before the Tweedle boss fight, w00 -- going through Crazed Clockwork and About Face, and starting the Land of Fire and Brimstone. Wasted more time than I should have trying to get a near-inaccessible ragebox (I KNOW I got the damn thing once, why can't I replicate the jump I used to get it??) and getting jumped on by Nightmare Spiders.
By which I mean they kept landing on Alice's head and giving me a good close-up view of how fucking creepy they are.
HAVE I MENTIONED HOW MUCH I HATE THESE THINGS?! Honestly, the only reason Snarks take first prize for my RAEG is because those fuckers keep popping up even late into the game. Nightmare Spiders are thankfully confined to the Hatter-themed levels. Euuuugh.
Also, Hatter's boss fight was harder than usual -- first, I ended up quicksaving with Alice near death and RIGHT NEXT TO an Automaton, meaning she kept dying and I ended up restarting the fight altogether. Then I won the damn fight -- right as Hatter unleashed the Automatons! So basically I had a dead Hatter with two robots to fight. "Fuck that noise," I said, and went back to an earlier quicksave and managed to finally kill him without having to face the damn Automatons again. Oh boy, I can already tell the Jabberwock fight is going to be fuuuun. . .
Anyway, I also watched the speedrun of Alice that's on YouTube (I still find it amusing you can pretty much completely skip Hatter's main level and boss fight), and reblogged things on tumblr. Also reread some of FFWF's screenshot LP of the game. Good times, good times. . .
In non-Alice news, we had the first episode of this year's Halloween Wars on tonight! :D Devils and zombie proms. Nothing too spectacular to see, although I liked the more cartoony one of a girl reanimating her dead boyfriend for the prom. The gourd and squash bones they made for the frame was very cutely Corpse-Bridey to me. :) We'll see how the remaining teams handle next week's challenge.
As for me, I'm behind on tumblr stuff, so later! Happy Mad Hatter Day!
