Another thing on my recent urge to write.
I previously posted about a rare urge to write that I had. This post is a short continuation.
Another thing I did during that urge was, while re-reading old (2010-2011) project ideas, come up with a solution for one of them.
It was a survival horror game (what else could it be?) and I was stuck on what the nature of the danger was, monsters (as 99.9% of survival horrors)? demons? people? aliens? the mummy? nosferatu? a dog in a tutu? (I guess all of those could be classified as monsters one way or another, but that’s besides the point)

Game2: winter
Many will remember at the beggining of the year there was sudden worldwide histeria about a Russian survival TV show called “Game2: winter”.
It was portrayed as a show where contestants could kill, rape and maim (and do many others mischevious things like hiding eachothers socks, I guess)
Obviously, as someone who likes survival shows, my curiousity was piqued.

My youtube guilty pleasures, part 2
This was actually what I originally was going to write about in the youtube guilty pleasures post, before I veered into a different direction and decided to split it into a two parts post.
This post will be considerably shorter than the part 1.

My youtube guilty pleasures, part 1
As the title says.
We all have guilty pleasures, in this post I’ll reveal a couple of my youtube guilty pleasures.
Not that anyone cares, but part of the fun is to share, who knows if someone will end up liking the same stuff.
And I felt like writing a bit. (as the tags indicate)

Ranty Rant: The Long Dark
Came across this one, mentioned by someone in 4chan’s /out/, had never heard of the game.
It’s one of those Indie games that somehow manage to sell an alpha version that may never reach Gold for the price of a full functioning game. Steam calls it “Early Access Game”, I call it beta testers and unlimited gameplay and design feedback, that pay for it.
Honestly that practice kind of rustles my jimmies.
At the same time it’s a smart move, reduce testing costs, lots of feedback and even gameplay ideas that will help you make the game more tailored to your average user, potentially enhancing the game experience (and getting you more sales, because an happy gamer is a valuable marketing tool). And best part, people pay for it…full price!

Just because all my projects were dropped…
(this post was written in July/August, which means some three months ago. I still haven’t worked much on the project. I’m mostly posting to show I’m still alive)
…it doesn’t mean I don’t still have fun coming up with new ones.
Although I can’t help but feel I’m getting old and so should know better than to come up with all those projects that I don’t intend to ever finish.
Back to 2003/2004, when I first got in my head that I would one day make a video game, at the time I had a friend in school (he’s my game development partner if there ever was one, lol) who was quite the SNES JRPG fanatic (Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Zelda, Breath of Fire; you know, the classics). Me, on the other hand, while I liked RPGs I hadn’t played many from the SNES days.
This is going to be a bit of a reminiscent, geeky post, so feel free to ignore it.

Rosetta stone, part 2
So, sometime ago I posted about how I was playing around with Rosetta stone to expand my Japanese knowledge. (knowledge…right…)
I dropped it for a while, but today, since I had nothing better to do, I double clicked it and had another go at it.
And BAM! just stumbled into a great example of the whole “it might be good for a baby, but I’m not a baby”.

Nevada-tan is back!
Well, something I rarely do, bring up real world news and comment them. (mostly because it might take me onto discussing my world view and “I don’t wanna!!!”)
If you don’t want to read my opinion, don’t continue.
That’s it, I’m weeabooing to the max.
So, by now it’s well established that I’m a bit of a weeaboo (wapanese, whichever you prefer).
But despite the appearances I’m not all that much of a weeaboo (was a bit worse when I was younger), I may enjoy various forms of entertainment media out of Japan (manga, anime, VNs, eroges) and would sincerely love to visit Japan for a month or two (or maybe three or four; between the otaku weeabooing and driving/hiking to the boonies it would be a probably awesome experience…), I’m still very…mild about it.
Writing mood.
So it seems in the last week I’ve been in a bit of a writing mood, as proven by the six posts since the 4th of July (would be eight, but I’m not counting the one I already had written and just hadn’t typed and obviously this one)
It’s quite a rare occurrence, even more rare is that they actually have a bit of structure and a tiny bit of an actual point.
