Food, games
Nov. 23rd, 2003 07:22 pmThere are a boatload of people on the main floor of the townhouse, and for the first time that I can remember I'm uncomfortable in a crowd. So, while they all rush to acquire food, I hide down here and wait for the line to die down.
Spent the last couple days replaying Eternal Darkness. It's still a great game, Even knowing the plot and how to deal with the various puzzles/nasties, I'm having fun. Eagerly awaiting the third ending, and seeing how it all ties together.
Tried playing Shadow of Destiny (time-travel adventure game), but it kept crashing & rebooting. In the course of trying to fix this, I determined that the reboot issue is what Windows (at least as I've got it set up) does when it crashes badly, instead of giving a Blue Screen of Death, and that it's related to my no-longer-supported video card. So I took SoD back and picked up RHEM instead.
RHEM. . . you know how, when you first loaded up Myst lo those many years ago, you stared at it and said "Jeez, that's pretty. . . now what do I do?" RHEM is like that. In spades. You arrive in a railcar, and wander around for a bit, and then you see a guy who says "Hi, welcome to RHEM! I'll be stealing your railcar and leaving now. Normally I'd take you with me, but I'm mad enough at having been trapped here for so long that I figure it's someone else's turn!" It's gorgeous and huge and I can see that it will all make sense eventually, but right now I haven't even got a fragment of the big picture. I think this is the meaty puzzlegame I've been looking for.
Okay, it sounds like it's died off a bit up there. Food time.
