The Best Adventure Game Ever!!!


Ok, am I lame or what? I still haven't finished Road to India. I'm still playing Icewind Dale II (and also installed yet another RPG game -- Morrowind). But my mind is racing, racing, and I can't finish any of those games.

So, the only logical thing was to, of course, download and play yet another adventure game. This was actually not as crazy of a strategy as it sounds. The Adventure Gamers Christmas Quest is a nice, sweet, short game based on the Adventure Game Studio (AGS) game creator. AGS provides a run-time engine and a development environment to create games after the old Lucas Arts and Sierra point-and-click adventures.

Back to the story at hand. The Christmas Quest (which can be downloaded here) can be finished in one very short sitting. It's pretty funny, with references to recent adventure games like Still Life. Your mission: help the hapless Christmas dork decorate his sad little christmas tree.

Okay, yes, it is February, but what can I say, it was better than Road to India, and it helped to fix my jones for an adventure game.

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. ...
