Too Many Stairs

[wickedorin]

I have had a time, creatures. Yesterday I felt like too shit to do anything, so I took the day off. Today I finished moving everything from the room upstairs down to here and boom, insta-apartment. Of course I still have... a lot left to unpack. And kitchen stuff and... other things I don't want to think about so they won't destroy my minor accomplishment for the day. Tired. But I have cake. And tea. Which go together. So I'll be doing that and staring lovingly at my toys instead. Pictures will come... if I ever finish.

Catching up on the meme.

Unfortunately, I think I may have to claim "nothing" to both of these prompts. I mean... I call things guilty pleasures, but do I actually feel the slightest bit guilty or embarrassed about indulging in them? Of course not. Playing everything from Devil May Cry to Kingdom Hearts half naked is nothing but pleasure. See there, I added a potential guilt that still gets totally denied.

As for games people wouldn't expect me to love... are there any? I'm pretty clear about my gaming lusts. Well, maybe Metal Gear Solid. Admittedly I can only take it for short periods of time before I need some random stylized bloodshed. Road Rash used to surprise people, though I have no idea why. It's a total zen experience--complete with beating the shit out of people. What's not to like? You can also glitch the hell out of it really easily.

Prompt list.

...Hm. Just got terrible idea for whenever I start updating Devil May Look on in Horror again. See, it's already proven worthwhile.

Super Mario Bros., Super Mario World, and Yoshi's Island were unexpected to me, because I don't think you've expressed much affection for platformers as a genre.

It depends on how obnoxiously twitchy/slow the platformer in general is, of course, but oh how I love the classic Mario games. New Super Mario Brothers was the only absolute must-have when I got my DS, and it's still the only one that I'll pick up and play relatively regularly (even if there are some bits that make me curse even more than KH1/KH2 can). It's probably about nostalgia, but it's also about a good game design and making very few resources work incredibly well.

Maybe someday I will get a Wii and comment on those Mario games... but that's still quite a mild maybe.
