Living Room Rearranging

[crossover_chick]

We have a new couch. My parents got rid of our old settee/loveseat and got this huge new couch. It's nice, though I'm still getting used to it. The cushions are really -- squishy. I'm constantly feeling like I'm going to sink down and get stuck in the couch or something.
-HD: I'm starting to think you just don't like to be comfortable.-
-D: I think it's more of a case that she's lived with that old loveseat all her life, and that was never what you could consider "soft."-
I actually think it might be a little of both. I'm starting to wonder if I just don't like "soft" all that much. I really have no idea -- give me a few days to get used to it.
In other news, not much happening -- watched The Mask over lunch (with Plushie Victor XD), continued to read that screencap Alice playthrough (am I the only one who thinks the croquet mallet is awesome?), and I'm continuing a video playthrough by someone who claims to be playing blind. On Nightmare, no less.
-VM: . . . Who plays a game for the first time on the hardest difficulty?!-
I don't know. Yo, those of you who actually play lots of videogames (as opposed to me and my defunct Sims 2/Alice playing), what difficulty do you usually start off on on a brand new game?
I did update the Inkwell with a "random trivia" post -- if you've ever wondered why I chose the journal names I did for my characters, look here. I do have plans for an actual post or two in the near future -- Alice may be bringing her aunt and uncle over to meet Victor. ;)
-RPD: Oh, Great Scott. Please, try not to shock them too badly.-
Relax, I won't be too evil. Though it's inspiring the creation of ANOTHER journal.
-OD: Really?-
Yeah, called "inkwellspares" -- basically, all the minor Inkwell characters.
-RPD: *thinks* Well, that would be the staff, Victor's parents, Victoria's parents, Bonejangles's Bone Boys -- and I assume Charles and Susan Liddell?-
Yeah. Lessee, that's ten icons, since the Bone Boys would go together. Which leaves room for others to visit. Maybe I should do a spot for Simon's brother and his girlfriend (the teens from "Geeks In Love.") If I do the journal, that is. Not sure where I'd find icons for Charles and Susan.
-VD: Well, what do they look like?-
I've never really described them all that much -- Charles is black-haired, with a stern face, while Susan is blond, with her hair done up with what I believe is known as "sausage curls."
-VD: Not much to go on.-
I know. I'm not gonna worry about it too much right now.
Anyway, I'm a little bored, so here, have a writing meme I found on the journal of one of deadgirlsliekme's friends:

Choose a prompt from the list below and a character, and I'll write you a short fic for it. Muse and RPG-verse fic is allowed, just make sure to specify you want that and which Doc/Victor, if applicable. If you just say "Angry!Doc" or "Wanker!Victor," I'm gonna assume you mean general fic.

1. Playful!
2. Murderous!
3. Flailing!
4. Incarcerated!
5. Deviant!
6. Ill!
7. Intoxicated!
8. Wildly Inappropriate!
9. Eloquent!
10. Cooking!
11. Overprotective!
12. Wanker!
13. Silly!
14. Romantic!
15. Silent-Treatment!
16. Bedtime!
17. Jealous!
18. Inquisitive!
19. Confused!
20. Sexy!
21. Angry!
22. Dorky!
23. Working!
24. Needs-a-Hug!
25. Choose-your-own!

-TTV: O.O Wanker!Victor?!-
I'm sorry, it's on the list!

So yeah, enjoy. I'm off for more Alice videos/screencaps.

I usually play on Normal or Easy, depending. Ghostbusters was Casual (which is equivalent to Normal or Easy).

Yeah, I generally stick to Normal or Easy myself. Though I've been considering a Hard playthrough on American McGee's Alice this October. . . .

My little brother wanted to play Mass Effect 2 on Insanity mode his first time through. I convinced him not to. I've been playing on Easy, five difficulties below that, and I've died a LOT.

He also tends to play Halo on Legendary.

*facepalms over that* Man, I can't even imagine trying a difficulty called "Insanity" for your first playthrough.

[martyfan.livejournal.com]

Yeah. The difficulties for Mass Effect are Easy, Normal, Difficult, Hardcore, and Insanity. In the original game, Insanity isn't even UNLOCKED until you beat the game once. In the first one as well, you get an achievement for playing the entire game on Hardcore, and another for doing the same with Insanity. ME2 just gives you one for Insanity.

I was actually working on the Hardcore one for the first game before I lost all my files. It was insanely hard. I can't even imagine playing on Insanity.
