10/04 Day!
Oct. 4th, 2015 10:04 pmNothing actually happens in BTTF on this date, but it's worth noting just as a match for the famous time on the clock tower. :) As promised, I played a bit of the BTTF Game today -- started Episode 2! Artie has been successfully rescued, and we're getting into the meat of the episode -- ensuring Kid Tannen goes down for tax evasion. I didn't quite remember all the puzzles this time, though I remembered enough of most of them. And one solution I almost literally stumbled into (well, Marty did) via exhausting all the dialogue options in the encounter between the Tannens and Marty in Kid's 1986. Honestly, though, it's worth it to go to the hint box just to see the goofiness of the hints themselves sometimes. And of course I'm still trying to click on everything -- even when timed puzzles not-so-subtly encourage me to speed things up. You can't make an adventure game and not expect me to explore!
Other than that, most of my day was spent catching up on Helloween videos. We've finished the current set of adventures of Right 'Ard Girl and Betrayer, and have moved onto Redfield and Meatshield in RE: Revelations 2, and we're getting into weird futurey stuff with robots in SOMA. Which seems to have a REALLY TELEGRAPHED twist right at the moment, but we'll see what the game actually does. Still, more interested in RE shenanigans than SOMA ones currently, I must admit. Largely because SOMA is allergic to light and goes for the "blurring vision = low health" mechanic, which I am not a fan of. *grumble* I like to be able to SEE my games, developers!
Other news:
-->Finished off the last of the new stuff in Chapter 19 of "Forgetting You," and am revamping the last section to cut out the massive exposition dump that is now all the new stuff. Yaaay
-->Another five old Charloft prompts up and running on the website! Read 'em here
-->Lilyenrenn continues illustrating the Forgotten Vows Verse: Chapter One and Chapter Two of "Finding You" are up!
-->As for Nebbychan -- she's come up with her OWN A:MR/CB Modern AU crossover, involving kidlet!Victor, Victoria, and Alice; Lizzie and Emily as BFFs; and Bumby kidnapping the lot of them in a looney attempt to get ransom/Lizzie to marry him. Initial silly comic, the kidlet gang, Lizzie and Emily designs, and thoughts on some of the specifics. Being the AU-loving loon that I am, I'm already very invested in this and would love to see where it goes. XD
And that's about it, really. Time to finish off queuing up RP replies on tumblr (did Butterfly Boy, working on Forgotten Vows), get what I can done on DW, and then hit the sheets. Another week of work awaits! Night all!
