Okay, It's Official
Jan. 24th, 2008 10:06 pmI'm completely fricking obsessed with Fred Bonaparte.
-VD: *sarcasm* Gee, we never would have guessed, what with you having watched the Waterloo World levels THREE TIMES.-
Hey, you can't deny it has some great dialogue! Everyone's always giving props to the Milkman Conspiracy -- and I agree, that is a great level too, the G-Men are spectacular -- but give Waterloo World some love too! The second peasant you recruit, the one who demands money, he's the best! "Well, dear, I'm off to die in battle for an incompetent leader who will probably never know my name. I hope you remarry well."
-DW: Can't deny we've been getting interesting plotbunnies out of it. She's working up a whole backstory for him, folks.-
Hey, I'm not the only one who fangirls. Though it's weird to see some of the styles he's drawn in. Human!Fred is just -- not right. *eyes that last sentence* Not that Fred isn't human in the game, he's just a Tim Schafer human, and I suspect Time Schafer is actually Tim Burton in a wig after seeing some of his character designs. (Napoleon from "Psychonauts" in particular could easily be Bonesaparte from Corpse Bride.)
-TTV: I see you sticking me in a strait-jacket in your head.-
Come on, I'd make your level have all sorts of references to "The Mask."
-TTV: You can't tempt me with your Jim Carrey.-
Hah. You're a fanboy, and you know it.
-TTV: At least let me pretend to hold out.-
-D: How's the drabbles88 coming along?-
Slowly but surely. I may actually hold it to the word limit, horror of horrors.
-VD2: Well, as long as you're writing something.-
-TD: Though I'd prefer more work on "Boy Genius."-
I know, I know. Let's see what happens this weekend. Just remember, Mom's birthday is on Sunday.
-HD: A birthday? Will there be cake?-
Monkey bread, actually. You know, that stuff that's like a cinnamon roll?
-HD: Mmmmmm-
And besides, you people have cake all the time, whenever you decide to celebrate an unbirthday.
-MHG: Yes, but birthday cake tastes good too.-
-WRM: Really, do you need an excuse for cake?-
You may have a point there.
Aanyway, off to fiddle around on the net. I'm hoping to find some scenes the Psychonauts Walkthrough didn't cover. Apparently Fred has some REALLY funny dialogue I missed.
-OD: *Tommy* You like men who can make you laugh, don't you?-
Yeah, pretty much so.
-OD: *Albert* Yeah, that sounds better than saying all the guys you like are at least a little unbalanced.-
-TTV: I'm not crazy!-
Yet.
-TTV: Fair enough.-
-RPD: You know, you could just buy the game. As long as you're not playing Sims.-
Actually, there might be good news on that front. I think my urge to create a Crushes Asylum challenge is overpowering my terror and annoyance. Let's see when I wake up Saturday, I have pictures I want to take too.
-RPD: *more cheerful* Oh, good! *suddenly suspicious* Wait a minute, did you find Sim strait-jackets?-
No. Not yet.
-TD: Somebody had better watch her.-
-VD: *sarcasm* Gee, we never would have guessed, what with you having watched the Waterloo World levels THREE TIMES.-
