Sunday Is For Watching All The Things
Oct. 8th, 2017 11:35 pmEspecially when it's a downright miserable, rainy Sunday all day. Not conducive for going out. Here is my watchlist for the day:
-->Dirk Gently episode 4 -- cripes this show has some disturbing deaths! I feel especially for the FBI agent who gets his body stolen -- that was a HELL of an opener. And the lady at the end. . .ouch. Fortunately the bits in the middle were rather more amusing, and it's still fascinating to watch all the little bits and pieces I saw on YouTube properly fit together into a cohesive whole. Good stuff.
-->Helloween's Darkwood LP -- we are in the Old Woods, and things are getting creepy! Poor Helloween died three times trying to get to the new hideout before actually reaching it. Fortunately, he's gotten a lot better at surviving the night in his hidey-holes -- even if the monsters are paying less attention to his barricades. As he's demonstrated, though, a well-thrown Molotov makes most things leg it. Slowly but surely he is learning the ways of the woods. . . I'm dreading what's going to happen with the game's self-professed "Creepy House" though. Yeesh.
-->Helloween's last A Link To The Past set -- much heart piece searching, much beating up of strange creatures, much falling off of ledges and getting hit by projectiles he didn't need to get hit by. XD But Hells persevered and beat Ganon in the end, so good times all around. :)
-->Halloween Wars -- after briefly convincing ourselves that the Food Network had given up on the show, my parents discovered, nope, it's still on! Apparently we missed the first episode (which must have aired October 1st), but they repeated it at six today, so we watched it with supper, then reconvened at 9 to watch this week's episode. Initial impressions -- not as good as Season 1 (but then nothing could ever beat Season 1), but better than some of the crap seasons we've been seeing. There are people with some definitive talent here. And big egos, but that's always a given. And hey, the guest judge for episode 2 was Robert Patrick, aka the T-1000! So that was actually pretty cool. :) I'm hoping the remaining episodes keep up with the quality!
So yeah, a lot of vegging out in front of the TV/computer today. Like I said, though, miserable rainy day, so. . . And I did do a couple other things, namely:
-->Wrote some more on "Fixing You" -- already starting with some major changes to the conversation between the Liddells, the Thatchers, and Victor and Alice. Time to force these people to stay on topic! No matter how painful the topic may be.
-->Played some BioShock -- I am done with Fort Frolic, and not a moment too soon! Mainly because I finally encountered those damn plaster-covered Splicers that masquerade as some of Cohen's artwork. Gah, talk about unnerving. Hate those assholes. . .and they're harder to kill too, which is really annoying. *grumbles* But I killed the final mini-boss of the level, ended up managing to slaughter another Big Daddy which I accidentally upset, got all the goodies available, and completed Sander's artwork for him. And then nearly ruined things by upsetting him fighting another Splicer -- fortunately I had a recent save and could undo that. (If you want all the weapon upgrades, you have to wait to kill him, you see.) I have now made it to Hephaestus, and am on my way to confront Andrew Ryan. After going through another level of horrors, of course. I gotta say it -- for Fort Frolic and the Medical Pavilion alone, BioShock definitely deserves to be called a horror game.
Not too bad for a Sunday, I suppose. I'm still behind on Helloween's Secret of Mana stuff, and the latest Linkara episodes, but hey -- I have tomorrow off too. :p I think I can swing something. For now, I got some catching up to do on Tumblr. Night all!
