Kinda Lazy Sunday
Aug. 7th, 2016 11:13 pmMore TV Tropes will do that to a person. Though I still got stuff done:
-->More on Chapter 10 of "In The Land of the Dead" -- got through Gutknecht's having to explain that the spell they were hoping would fix their problems has some limitations that makes it near useless to them. Fortunately now he gets to tell them about the Halloween loophole! Lizzie's gonna be simultaneously thrilled said loophole exists and annoyed she has to wait until the end of October to use it. Them's the breaks, kid.
-->More in Vampire: The Masquerade -- Bloodlines. Yes, I did end up killing the clinic guard to get him out of the way. Harold and I TRIED to leave him alive by feeding on him and then letting go at the last minute -- but apparently guys with guns are immune to the "trance" most victims of a vampire bite are left in. On the plus side, while he did shoot us, he did NOT summon the police, so once Harold sucked him dry, we were free to snag the werewolf blood (and a ton of pills, hello free money). So the Masquerade has been redeemed, Harold's up some dosh from both Lacroix and Malcom St. Martin, he got a chance to nibble on a prostitute without anyone getting suspicious (plus a feeding on Pee Man), and he got to finally start on the main quests at the Asylum. Talked to Knox again to get the "kill the Asian vampire spy" quest (and hooray, my Persuade was high enough to realize he wasn't being straight with me -- extra dialogue, w000), and I've currently got Harry parked outside the Ocean House Hotel where he will experience Fun With Ghosts. XD Looking forward to it!
-->More of Helloween's new Penumbra: Necrologue playthrough -- many chasings by strange twisted nudist creatures, many prowlings down unlit corridors of doom, many support voices being not very supportive at all, many instances of Helloween freaking out over what is probably nothing at all. It's fun. :D Much as it's great to see him rag on bad games, it's also great to see him genuinely freaked by a good game.
-->More walking -- weather was hot but not quite as humid today, so I ventured out after I completed the vacuuming. Always good to get exercise, right?
So yeah, maybe I slacked off a little at the end there, but it was still a good, productive day. Though admittedly I now have a inbox full of delayed messages from DW. . . Note to self, get to those at some point tomorrow!
Right now, though, I've got some tumblr stuff to catch up on, and maybe even a little more TV Tropes to indulge in. So nice to have a day off tomorrow. . . Though I am going to be spending most of it watching videos. Still, it's pretty much all Helloween, soooo~ Night!
