Hn. Aren't there like, online phones or something? Or those... track phones, or whatever. Throwaway, buy-by-minute stuff.

Definitely means I'll probably never actually upload anything to youtube, though. Probably wouldn't have anyway, but... yeah.

Nyet! Together we are stronk! :<

Stronk and GLORIOUSLY BRUTALIZED! Ahahahaha!

... yeah. It's kinda' rare that a game kicks my ass and I like it, but... yeah. Been happening lately. Usually not fun, but it's been fun this time. Avernum~

... though, as I said somewhere, sometimes not the latter! Or, at least, it doesn't necessarily stop being terrifying. I'm still as terrified of driving as I was when I started... several years back, now. Just more inured to the terror, and generally less nerve wracked by the end of a trip. Generally.

It definitely gets easier and less likely to kill others/yourself as you get more practice in, though. Which is good!

-- ah. Got it. Road map -> core mechanics -> Low-level world/entity storage.

Ah, there we go. Cheers Dark.

Y'know, I have actually been watching. Has the roadmap thing been being updated?

... hrm. What about, like. Rubbing alcohol? What else we got beyond saline and peroxide?

... oh. Yeah, if so. Super Robot Wars.

Those things are ridiculously well written for what they are. Like damn. They actually have plot, and it's sometimes even pretty darn good. S'crazy.

Oh and, for the sake of scholarly experiment, has anyone here seen a crossover with more than three source materials that didn't make you want to turn your head into a fine paste?

I actually kinda' enjoyed Hybrid Theory. Ranma, Sailor Moon, Street fighter, as strong influences, as well as several others (iirc, it's been a few years since I finished reading through it). Megacrossover. Also a self-insert, and well over a million words. Disturbingly well written, considering. Then there's this thing. X-COM, Ranma, Teen Titans. It's actually a crossover between two crossover fics. Also over a million words, at this point.

Also find the stuff by this guy to be fairly alright, which has a couple things that mix Gundam, Battletech, and then heaping dashes of other material into the mix.

There's others out there, too. It's not impossible. Just... difficult.

Playing Avernum 6. Suddenly, Devil Went Down to Georgia shoutout.*

By the demon that had been used as the target for an anvil conjuring spell, and was fighting me, to wit, "to preserve [his] vacation". Thing was so impressed by the style of the wizard who was researching the cartoon anvil death spell he decided to stick around, and I had to run him off. Damnit all, these games are golden.
