While I liked The Left Hand of Darkness, I realy prefer Zelazny's Lord of Light over it. But then again, I've been a huge Zelazny fan since I was 12 and real one of his short stories in an anthology (encountered my first Asimov short story there, too). I have most of his books.
Oh, that roulette challenge! I did get it without cheating, but it took me a VERY, VERY long time. I did it on the 1 token table and just kept betting on the same number every time. The Casino trophy was a pain in the ass, I should have just waited on that one until I spent forever trying to earn enough tokens for Jade's final costume. By the time I got it, I had over 20 accolades.
The horse race was a pain in the ass, too, but I finally figured out the course. The big part was avoiding the mud and the pillars and hitting as many ramps as possible.
Hmm, now you've got me wondering what games I finished this year...
Oh, man, DQ XI was amazing! I actually got the platinum trophy for it!!!
I live alone (well, except for the dog and cat), and am an introvert working at extrovert job. So when I come home, I game to unwind. And I just loved EVERYTHING about DQXI, so it was pretty easy.
As for the turkeys, they are pests. They dig up my landlady's vegetable garden and leave poop everywhere. However, they aren't usually afraid of dogs - my previous dog made the mistake of getting between a mumma and her babies. Let's just say that he avoided turkeys from then on. I think they don't know what to do about Beau, though. Personally, they remind me of the Skeksis from The Dark Crystal.
I love Christopher Nolan's films. He likes to play with the concepts of time and memory, which I find very cool. I had no difficulty following Memento, which, apparently, some people did. I also liked how he played with three different timelines simultaneously in Dunkirk.
In other words, they act just like real cats.
Merry Christmas, Matt! Santa has been busy already - my mom gave me a $50 gift card to Game Stop, which was very thoughtful of her, even if it's not the game store I shop at and I will happily spend it anyway. Also $30 in quarters for laundry money (I think she was trying to tell me something there, lol), and $25 gift card to my favorite Thai place. And my secret santa at work gave me a Lifesavers sweet storybook, a treat for Beau, a gift card to Bull Moose Music (locally owned chain of indy music/movie/game/book stores), and a Star Wars Kinder Egg. One of my favorire customers gave me a lavender-scented pillow, a reusable shopping bag, and a really cool journal.
Merry Christmas! Have fun!
Well come on up! Andrew will attest to the fact I'm a pretty damn fine tour guide.
You don't have to do that in this one. Unless they have a pink exclamation point over their heads, they pretty much just say the same thing over and over again no matter how many times you talk to them.
Mwahahahaha! My evil plan suceeded!
