Happy Birthday Eve!
Dec. 26th, 2019 08:11 pmOr Boxing Day, whichever you prefer :p I've had a very low-key day, mostly because my parents were out for a good majority of it. Having the house to myself to watch YouTube videos for the win, I guess. XD Ah, but it was fun. Had a Call Me Kevin/GrayStillPlays Marathon:
-->CMK, I Am Fish -- Kevin is a fish in a hamster fishbowl and must clumsily navigate his way to open water and freedom! He -- is not very good at this! XD I mean, he did end up making it to the goal in both levels he tried, but it took a lot of tries. Still, I hope he does the third level -- his frustrated commentary is some of his best. XD
-->CMK, Parkitect -- Kevin sends all of his park guests to an island in the middle of his lava park! He is much better at causing misery and desolation, that's for damn sure. XD Made a bunch of rides that all went onto this one rectangle of land, then covered it in fog machines for that extra depressing touch. And then had to mute UI sounds because he kept getting too many messages about guests drowning. XD That's our Kevin!
-->CMK, Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows Part 2 -- Kevin has to deal with the world's slowest-moving Ron as Hermione fetching the basilisk fang to kill the cup horcrux, gets extra Irish as Seamus Finnegan trying to blow up one of the bridges into Hogwarts, and keeps dying as McGonagall while battling giants. As he put it, he has a love-hate relationship with this game and its terribly awkward characters and gameplay. XD That's why we watch you play it, Kevin!
-->CMK, School Simulator -- Kevin sets up a school that is in fact a thinly-veiled hive of scum and villainy! Children wear orange jumpsuits, the teachers are all the absolute cheapest he can find, and the "facilities" initially consist of nothing but pee bushes. XD Things just go downhill from there, honestly -- to the point where, when he's forced to close the school due to lack of funds from people dropping out, he bulldozes the entire place in a petty rage. That's our Kevin (again)! XD
-->GSP, NewLife -- Gray sets out to become a horrible child! First attempt, the son of a drug lord and porn director, dies of pufferfish poisoning; second, the daughter of a porn star and an unemployed man, manages to become a master hacker and a successful tax evader (for a while -- and then it was time for prison again. Seriously, the amount of absolute ridiculousness these games let you pull off. . .
-->GSP, Alt Life -- Case in point, in this one, Gray becomes a SNIPER BLACK WIDOW XD And has a son named Killmaster. This was hilarious, with him spamming skill books to level up his skills and shooting people occasionally with RPGs just because. And he kept this up well into old age! Good times, good times~
-->GSP, Air Marty -- Gray takes control of a guy named Marty and must complete many, many minigames to determine how Marty's attempt at going on vacation is going to ruin his life. Possibilities include getting his arm broken in an arm wrestling tournament, having a hit put out on him by the fried chicken industry, and his wife falling in love with another passenger and getting everything in the divorce. (Though MARTY can also fall in love with the random passenger and get everything, which is like the sole HAPPY ending in this weird shitshow of a game XD) I want mooooore!
And I followed it up this evening with the three-part review from AT4W on The Last Jedi comic adaptation. Whew -- lotta ranting on what Linkara liked and didn't like in the adaptation, and his thoughts on why it's such a good movie, and the character arcs everyone goes through. I'm not really a Star Wars fan and haven't watched a single one of the newest movies, but it is interesting to listen to him go on about something he loves. I mean, that's the whole reason I watch the show, despite not really being a comics person. :p
Main other accomplishment of the day (beyond doing more of the puzzle with the folks -- that thing just SUCKS UP time) was playing some Fallout 4. Did a lot of cooking in Sanctuary with all the meat and such I'd picked up from the water treatment place, then buzzed back to Diamond City to pick up the "Publick Occurences" with the interview with Victor in it. Then, foolishly, I decided to visit Medford Memorial Hospital and see about this mysterious "Pipe" I learned about in my "miscellaneous" quests.
Foolishly, I say, because SUPER MUTANTS FUCKING EVERYWHERE. Outside the hospital (where I had to battle them AND Synths), and inside the hospital, where -- well, I must have died like five, six times trying to get past the front doors? Did NOT help that my framerate dropped for no apparent reason while I was in that lobby. . . EVENTUALLY managed it with the help of a LOT of healing and a LOT of Molotov cocktails. Currently poking around the place, found a Protectron to activate in hopes of having IT attack some of the remaining Super Mutants. At least I've gotten a bunch of decent ammo. . .this stupid reward had better be worth it. *huffs*
And I just finished up writing up tomorrow's "favorite moments" post for my tumblr queue, so I'm gonna get on that and my Valice Multiverse one (I'm a couple days behind now, so I have some piled-up asks). Tomorrow -- well, it be my birthday! We're going out out to eat and to Dave & Busters, as per usual. :) I also plan to watch a few more things in the queue, and play some Bloodlines. Sounds like a solid birthday, right? :) Queuing first, though. Night all!
