Lazy writer

I've been a bit lazy about posting. Mostly because I've only had bits of time here and there before and after work to play any adventure games and then to post here. I've continued a little bit more with Jessica Plunkenstein and the Dussledorf Conspiracy. It's still pretty funny, but it's kind of annoying to watch slow low-res Jessica plod across the screen. While this is a common complaint of adventure games, with games that have much higher quality graphics, you can spend your time looking at the gorgeous backgrounds; not so with Jessica.

Still haven't played any further in Bad Mojo. It's a great game, don't get me wrong. It's just kind of hard to play in the morning. When I'm eating my breakfast, I really don't want to be watching little roaches scurry across my computer screen.

Also, I must admit to have picked up another game! Well, I'm just continuing it, really. I mentioned it in a previous post, but I have Fahrenheit (or Indigo Prophecy) for the PS2. Wow, this is a truly fantastic game. I'll write more about it in its own post, but it's a completely different experience then your traditional adventure game.

Urgh, time to actually get ready and slog through the rain and the slush to work.

Murder!

Pardon my mixed-gumshoe phrases, but: The Game Is Afoot! Someone has been murdered on the train. Someone had to be murdered, this is a murder mystery, after all. But which passenger on this packed train did it? Did the murderer get away? Most likely not, seeing as how the train has been stopped by an avalanche. Will you help Poirot solve the mystery, and save your job, before the snow plows and police arrive? I would continue playing, but it's so darn hot here in Cambridge. I'm looking at the snow in the screenshots with envy!

Reading assignment

Reading list I've been wanting to do this for a while. With all the gaming that I've been doing recently, and with all of the social media I've been devouring, I feel like my attention span has wasted away to almost nothing. And so, I'm beginning a project where I actually read all of my actual, real, sitting lonely on a shelf books. We've accumulated so many books over the years that even though we've started to buy more and more digital books, we still have a small library's worth of books in our house. The project is daunting, so I'm starting small. One small shelf in one of our shorter bookshelves. It's full of classics mostly, with some contemporary fiction. Some of them I've already read, but that's OK. First up is: You know, an light and easy read to start. Happy reading everyone!

Witcher beauty

This game is just so gorgeous. Well, when you're not killing ghouls, foglets, wraiths, and all manner of foul beasts. I could just ride around on my trusty pal, Roach , for hours. The sound work is terrific, too -- wind rustling through the leaves or the sound of rain pelting the ground. Just tried my hand at streaming today. I'm thinking of doing a regular stream on Monday evenings, maybe Tuesdays. Since I'm playing The Witcher now, that's usually what I'll be streaming. But I may look into leveling up an Alliance Warcraft character as well. If you're bored, feel free to stop on by:  http://www.twitch.tv/mernellie . Today's stream was actually pretty funny since it involved me scaring myself silly while exploring a haunted house. Twitch is a funny thing; I've got to keep another monitor open to see if folks are chatting. Only have seven followers so far, so it's fairly quiet. Thought it is interesting to see people pop in and then back out. ...
