Stating the Obvious
Oct. 29th, 2007 02:10 pmThank you very much for the advice! I love you all (and I promise I am working on the fics, but real life is doing that thing again where I end up wanting to punch it in the face). My panic has lessened somewhat, probably since I realised I couldn't sustain it. And, well, I'm not striking out entirely on my own, I suppose - my parents and family won't be that far away. And my brother is talking about attending the same university, which would be nice.
Imagine a segue here!
I realize that I say this about a lot of things, but Portal is one of the most awesome games I've ever played - managing as it does to be both fantastically well-written and faultlessly designed. Plus, it's a take on the Crazed A.I. Plot that had not previously occurred to me, or anyone else, apparently.
(Comedy writers - good ones - should write everything. This Is A Thing I Now Know.)
I want a Companion Cube plushy. I would hug it and squeeze it and call it George.
In other news, Heroes has won my heart for reasons I'm not entirely sure of, though they do include "a desire to give Claire a hug", "a desire to give Hiro two hugs", and "a desire to watch Sylar be ridiculously creepy and compelling from a safe distance." I think I've mentioned before that I have a bit of a lighting kink, which the show hits pretty hard. (Bloody red industrial fittings, rising from brilliant sand to claw at the most perfect blue sky imaginable! A++ would ogle again.) Now, if only release scheduling in this country was not painted in all shades of phail.
Speaking of which, TTLG, I am done with you. I'd be sorry, but I was never that much into you anyway. You refuse to listen to anything resembling sense and I'm tired of your insane, irrational (hur hur) elitism. I'm well aware of Bioshock's problems, but you fail to see that System Shock 2 and Thief 1 and 2 had their own flaws (and if you want to talk about plot holes, I have an interesting theory regarding just what the hell Karras thought would happen if he showed that recording to anyone). I'm now just glad I never posted. Saying I play console games, enjoyed Thief 3 and think Bioshock is a masterpiece would probably be construed as trolling. Sigh.
