Video Game Sunday
Apr. 12th, 2015 11:21 pmOf a sort, anyway:
-->Watched Linkara's review of "Vampire: The Masquerade -- Bloodlines." Very amusing, especially his complete freakout over the haunted hotel section. XD Also, very cute cameo by Maventide and her child of the night, aka Grey :)
-->Watched LGR completely fail to run a toilet store in The Sims 4 Get To Work. XD His employees were useless, everybody's needs kept falling into the red, and he made his Sim pee into every toilet before marking it for sale (he was cracking up too -- such a child! XD) It was a good lesson in what not to do with your Sims in a retail business. Also got a look at how the active careers work -- basically, you actually get a choice of whether or not you want to follow them to work, and if you do, well, then you can do work things! It's neat, though I think it precludes doing it with large families like the one LGR had -- the clock in Sims 4 is continuous, you see, and you'd basically have to leave your other Sims on autopilot. I generally tend toward single or two-person homes, though, so I think I'd be good.
-->Played "Alice: Madness Returns" -- got through the beginning of Chapter 2, with the London part and the first few bits of Tundraful. Once again, appreciating the fact that I have a computer that can properly run the game now -- it was kind of cool to linger on the docks in the real world and look out at the backgrounds. It was amazing how much of the city you could actually see! And it felt good to mess up some Snarks and Ruins again, w000.
-->Been playing DragonVale off and on throughout the day, collecting Star Dust. Food got stuck for the LONGEST time on 30 -- sometimes I hate whatever it is that determines whether or not you'll get your collectible from any given tap. However, I just managed to max everything, so hooray, that's one less thing on my mind. Should get the new sun/moon habitat (or, well, this one has the moon on top, so I guess it's moon/sun) habitat by tomorrow.
-->Played a few rounds of Spellfall -- have finished off the water areas, and am into the fire areas, starting with the awesome steampunk dungeon. :D Eric's axe continues to be a blessing -- very glad I had the coins and decided to spring for it! It makes the game so much easier -- and after some of the wretched fights I've had in the past, that's MUCH appreciated.
So yeah, very much a games day. Though I did get some writing done (AU stuff, but it's Forgotten Vows AU stuff, so -- inspiration?), some replies, and tumblr queues. And another page of 2011 100 Drabbles of Summer up on the website -- table's almost complete now! I'll post a link once it's all up. I also got in another walk, since it was nice out again today. Perhaps a bit cooler than yesterday, but not quite as windy, so it balances out. Ahh, feels so good to get out in the fresh air. . .
However, right now I've got to get my ass to bed. Work tomorrow and all that. G'night all, and sleep tight!
