Maybe I'll Do Something SIMPLE, Next...

Kaishun is proof that I am waiting impatiently for spring. We will see how much Nature laughs at me.

I am currently exchanging my ability to cook for a few food items. I don't know how long this will last, but it's working out so far. Here's hoping? Kicking myself for getting rid of the tiny old casserole dish with a chip in it, though. Hopefully I'll find a cheap one locally at some point soon, since shipping something like a casserole dish with lid jacks up the price more than should be possible. For anything.

Really not much of interest to write about, it must be said. Watching the last half of Monster again for a very specific reason (not that I don't want to watch the first half again; I'm just looking for something specific). It's a damn good series. I imagine it hits a little too close to home for some, and I really don't mean that in a derogatory way. It's just... a touch strong when it comes to handling the monster. What else... got asked that bullshit "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" question I never have been able to answer. Well, that's not true, I answered this time. "I just want to tell as many stories as I can before I die. That's the only thing like a goal I have." Talk about grinding conversation to a halt. I am good at that.

But since there's nothing else interesting to talk about, links? This article's been making the rounds: Saving Zelda. I'm not really sure what to think. Yeah, I was deeply obsessed with the original, myself, but it was Ocarina that really dug its claws in deep and permanently. Of course that was building on what was already there, too. While I still want to complete Wind Waker and Twilight Princess... the fact that I haven't returned to them to do much more than look around speaks volumes. I don't know. I'm pretty much forcing myself not to have any lengthy uninterrupted gaming times due to work, but it's more than that. On the other hand, I fucking hate people who say games "should be" anything. You like what you like, enjoy it, praise whoever makes it, leave everyone else to like what they like, and that's it. Anyway, interesting article.

Western Studios are Helping Finish The Last Guardian struck the kind of fear into my heart that I never wanted to encounter with this title. I fear for it. Very much so.

The Painstaking Process Behind ‘The Best Pinball Video Game Ever Made’ is nicer to think about, and really kind of interesting. Well, okay, to me. Once upon a time, a million years ago when I was young and living in Arizona, there was a pizza franchise called Peter Piper Pizza. It was a little like Chuck E. Cheese but better because instead of terrifying animatronics it was just video games and damn fine pizza. *grin* (Still my favorite pizza. How I miss it.) It was through there that I was introduced to all kinds of curse-worthy arcade classics... and pinball. I was always shit at pinball. Loved it, still do, but I'm still shit at it. But the one that I kept gravitating toward was Fun House. I don't know, I guess you'd have to play the real thing; it was just good. A few years ago, after I got Ebony (the PSP), I came across a discounted Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection and snapped it up just for Fun House. Don't get me wrong, I love the other tables... but, Fun House. And you know how I know it's a reliable emulation of the real deal? I'm still shit at it in all the same ways as I used to be. There's no point to this story, I'm just old. (I have actually gotten a little better, though. No, really.)

The things you can do with LittleBigPlanet 2 are just fucking awesome.

A wistful science fiction music video about computer love made me grin like an idiot. Go figure.

This just made me happy. Scifi author spoils his entire book series for terminally ill fan. I always liked the idea that we live to learn about our own existence, the existence of the Original Creative Thought, and that the knowledge gained is shared upon death. And if that's too deep for you, just imagine all of the dead fans of things clamoring to know more all the time. ...I'd also like to think Nomura might spoil things if I can't make it to KH3. *grin*

Lastly, if you've never wandered around The SCP Foundation... well. I wouldn't want to spoil anything. Good luck.

I'll come back and read more of this later, but: you have a very good eye for linking, for links. Linking is unattractive, but you do it well. Or maybe I should say, links are unattractive, but yours are not. *grins* I guess that's a reward for long work at crafting.

Wish me luck on the chaos of the moment!

It may be proof that shiny things make everything better. I hope.

Always luck! And always hope that chaos turns into a good thing. Or at least it better be fun.

Hmm, the fun of it seems to be working so far. *grins* As for the good of it, we'll have to wait and see.
