Alice Is Tough

Did a round with the Sims 4 CAS Demo today, making the lead character from the Alice games. Her face is rather fiddly to get right -- I think I ended up with a decent look, but given that the Sims 4 style is rather more cartoony than the A:MR style, it can be a bit hard to say. I'll have to figure out how to get some pictures and see what you think. There's also a fair number of Alices already up in the Gallery -- and amusingly, it looks like most of us who make her pick the same traits! XD For the record, they're "Insane," "Loner," and "Gloomy." Aspirations vary, but I made mine a Creative type with a desire to be a painter, since her artwork was an important part of the first casebook and she has all those drawings on her wall in the second game. It was either that or author. :p Victor's also Creative, but his big goal is to be a great musician, natch. I set his traits as "Music Lover" (also natch), "Clumsy," and "Loves Outdoors" (for his love of butterflies, and the fact that he chose wandering around the woods to practice his vows). I've seen other Victors, but I don't recall their traits. . .have to look this up. :P

Other gaming news, since I have little else to report on -- it was a lazy day, which I blame on the fact my period should be coming very soon:

-->DragonVale: I own a Mirage dragon! Hatched this morning. Currently named Drake, for lack of anything better. Not much else to say, though -- still don't have the other hybrid, nor a Geode or Hyrda. Just saving up for Island Ten the best I can. Also, for Gigs: Insidious won Gold, and Magneto's in Lightning.

-->Hearthstone: One loss, one win for Valeera, completing another quest and putting me that much closer to unlocking the next Quarter of Naxxramus. I also did a practice round with Garrosh, where I KILLED the Innkeeper's Priest with a lot of low-attack creatures and a card that gave them all charge. Can you make a good deck out of that? It was really fun. XD

-->Spellfall: I'm into the Water Temple itself, and I've gained a new companion -- an old Duskwalker Turtle named Tordicus. He was actually the boss fight of the previous area -- apparently the only way to judge my mettle as a Duskwalker is to get beaten up by me. :P So yeah, I've cleared out a good chunk of that on my way to getting the prophecy. Had to take a detour back to starting village when it got recaptured by the forces of darkness, though. And MAN, that new final boss fight was BRUTAL! I lost the first time I attempted it, though I did also level up so I could promptly start work on refilling my special rune meters again. And I won the rematch by a very narrow margin. Still, Eric's hometown of Everlight is free again -- and producing tons of cash. Suddenly buying crap is almost a non-issue. XD Though there's nothing I feel the need to get yet -- only thing I've bought in a while is a special Water Mastery rune that, when equipped to my armor, gives me awesome water resistance. Which, of course, is great for the Water Temple. :) Just gotta get past another Chirop. . .I really hate those things.

And that's about it. Hope you all had a pleasant Saturday!
