EVERYONE sucks at 7th Saga, ironically enough because of the developers themselves sucking.

I played it decades ago, got slaughtered, never went back because it was a rental.
But I intend to beat it this time around.
It's around. I'm either going to use the mage or the priest. Probably the priest since the Let's Player speculated that someone would be driven insane by the experience of leveling it.

Another long journey today...

Good morning. =)

How so?

Morning. Job related stuff. Boring job related stuff I might add ;)

Sounds thrilling in a "nails on chalkboard after drinking a couple bottles of Nyquil" sort of way. Obnoxious, but muffled slightly by the mindnumbing aspects of it all.

I have a few games on my smartphone so at least the journey will be bearable ;)

Gotta go, bye!

Have a good day, try not to fall asleep during someone thinking they're really important. =)

Ya know...I feel better about some of my choices in games right now.

I feel better because while I was digging through stuff on Blip to watch as I continue the quest for digital madness that is a 100 percent Soulstorm run (ultimately choosing Brows Held High), I saw an advertisement.

That advertisement was for the Sims 4 on Origin, some upbeat pile of garbage that mentions how you can get 2 whole days of free game time if you....I don't know, promise your first born to the infernal rulers of Electronic Arts or something.

Honestly, my brain began to immediately shut down in an effort to protect itself, so I probably missed the fine print.

But the point remains.

Even with the intensely stupid, meaningless, painful things I do to myself on a near-constant basis, I'm not trying to get those 2 free days of Sims 4 time on Origin.

It could all be so much worse.

I find some small degree of comfort in that.

I like this thread at this time frame.I can come and put my feet up and watch anything on TV I like,raid the fridge eat all the good stuff.Sit back and relax and wait for them all to stagger in....So peaceful...

Heheheh. I actually own Sims 2, and played it for... some amount of time. It was fun. Until I got bored, which didn't really take long (less than a week, and that is not a "several hours of playtime a day" week, but more like "an hour here and there throughout" week. Then I never touched it again.

Currently waiting for Grim Fandango to download - that was a nice surprise. My Sam & Max Hit the Road playthrough will have to be paused for a bit, I think. We'll see how far I get into Grim tonight; I'm physically wiped, but totally not sleepy, due to the illness. My head feels like it's stuffed with cotton, my nose is stuffed up and now my ears are doing that dance too, and I'm occasionally coughing stuff up. Overall, it's an improvement from yesterday, even with the sore ribs. Hopefully I'll actually be able to breathe again by Wednesday.

Right. (Aside from the insomniac roommates you share the space with. ;) ) -laughs-

Yes,hard enough getting to sleep without those people walking around bumping into furniture:-)

I can see why you would. It's a simulation that wants to be seen as wacky, only it wants that in the laziest way possible, rather than achieving it through good writing, good characters, good storytelling, anything more complex than "Isn't it zany when digital characters fall in a swimming pool or get caught on fire!?!?!"

Fucking EA. -shakes head-

Still need to grab Grim Fandango here, I'll probably do that when I've got more coin available. (Assuming the next weekend sale isn't chock full of things to wipe off my list.)
Also need to get a run of Sam and Max going. I've had the Telltale games for quite a while, but it doesn't feel right playing those without completing the first in the series.

I'm glad your condition's improving, although it still sounds like a pile of miserable shit you're having to deal with.
The whole inability to breathe thing seems like it could be problematic. (Also, I'm now envisioning you sitting at a computer while packing the same skin tone as a Smurf...)
Furniture's nothing, it's the frigging cats wanting to rub against my leg while I walk that's the real concern.
The fluffy little buggers don't comprehend "If the giant falls on you after you trip them up, you will die."

That's part of the reason I never started the Telltale ones, even after I picked them up during different sales. I'm really enjoying S&M:HtR (even if I do giggle inappropriately every time I type out "S&M"); it has excellent voice acting, and the animations are just amazing. I suspect Telltale's games will actually be somewhat of a letdown in comparison, just because I still generally prefer pixel art to 3D. I'm old-fashioned that way.

Grim I've been looking forward to just because it's so incredibly unique and I never got to play the original - I can deal with 3D there. *g* Speaking of... If it hadn't been for xckx's generosity and some amazing luck on my part, I too would be waiting until this weekend to buy/play Grim. Somehow, I actually won his giveaway for it and, if I'm being honest, have been looking plaintively at it every single day on my game shelf, waiting for the "Soon" flag to go away. Yep, I'm pathetic sometimes.

Bwahahahahah. Nope, not looking like a Smurf, although that's a pretty funny image indeed. It's still a miserable pile of crap, yes, although less miserable than yesterday, so I'll take what I can get. I really hate how these things can come on in less than an hour. Wake up feeling great, by noon snuffing and choking and wheezing. Bleh.

Our cats do this, too. When we had six, they ranged in age from 18 to 2. Even the eldest, who definitely knew better, would walk between my ankles for attention. Now that we have three (two age 15 and one almost 5), they're just as bad. The 15-year-olds are more demanding than the youngest one, since in their minds, they're still kittens. In my mind, they've outlived their mother, so they're entitled to it. :) Even if I do swear at them every I trip over one of them.

ETA: Bleh. So much for Double Fine's "tightening up the optimization" for Grim before release. It's still demanding OpenGL 3.3, and this computer can only do 3.1. I'll be stealing my hubby's for this game... tomorrow. >.<
