Did another playthrough of CA. Epic results. A++ (sleeping through case after saving).

Here's how it goes: I turned in the organizer, and collected a crap-ton of information, went straight for the mastermind (which I figured out before the game), although shot out before getting the guy by a mook using his dead buddy as a shield, I refused to release the organizer. I made a second attempt and captured his arrogant ass. After that, the rest of the case was even easier since the mastermind provided me with all the plans, agents, information, etc.

I then proceeded to go all about the place and ended up turning the remaining agents into double-agents. Of course, I didn't expect the case to be as long as it has been, so I never got around to snagging blueprints or the device (learned in sleepthrough). I thought the mission was over since I had a squad of double-agents; nope.

Nonetheless, I still got a kickass score of 1004 on my second try (ran out of time (sleepy and have to wake up early tomorrow) and was curious why it was taking so long; I was raiding houses like mad to pass time). Now, if only I got the 2 items, it would be a 1200 score or near-equivalent thanks to 3 double-agents being convinced (easily giving me 120 bonus points).

I love this game. But yeah, in roughly 5 days (3, had I not been knocked out by a mook), I got the mastermind. Again, on easy; but still that's rather swift. Especially for someone new to the game.

Just got my acoustic guitar back from repairs, where I was getting its electric pickup fixed. It's been busted for about a year and a half, but I never took it in because then I'd be without it for two weeks. Now I can actually record through my pickup rather than holding the guitar in front of the mic, and get much better sound quality overall I missed you, baby.

Of course, 'just got my guitar back' happened like 9 hours ago, at which point I had the longest sleep I've had in a very long time. So that's happy too.

57th hour awake. I actually feel very refreshed and energetic though. It is like, 1:30 but I want to get in a fight and run some laps and play some soccer.

[Jackrabbit]

I played some soccer today and actually played well. This was a huge surprise for me because my legs are so long that I'm more likely to trip over them whilst trying to get the ball than I am of getting within three feet of the ball itself.

That was nice. Also Gridiron, funnily enough. You Americans and your wacky fun sports.

[sonerohi]

I take the soccer back. I'd be down for some rugby right now, or something. I want to beat the shit out of people, run, sweat, beat more people, and run harder. This is a good type of sleep deprivation.

[Jackrabbit]

Sounds like you're overtired. I can't wait till you eventually crash. Tell us all about it, horrible experiences of others is like a fine wine.

[Acanthus117]

Ahh, Schadenfreude, the finest of wines brewed from the suffering of others.

[Jackrabbit]

The grapes of your experiences are crushed with physical manifestations of your despair. This is a wine of pure concentrated misery that really goes the distance.

[Acanthus117]

The deeper the misery, the sweeter the taste.

I've done worse. Earlier this year I pulled 4 days near finals. Not to study, funnily enough. I had a book that I could not put down during the day, which meant I had to exercise and catch up on text messages near midnight, and then I did homework and some research to help out a teacher. It was actually fun. Imagine if you didn't have to sleep. All that extra time.

I rarely sleep, have been that way for going on four years, and I don't find it fun. I'll admit having that much time certainly comes in handy, but my gods, the crippling boredom.

Hi!

First of all, following my tradition: Happy birthday, Armok. I hope your new keyboard gives you a lot of joy (sorry, I hate web cams, so no word about that).

Secondly, while there is still a tiny feeling of ambivalence remaining, I am really happy that the 0.94 version お宝ありマス!FE ～ダンジョンはじめました～ is running fine on my desktop (after frustrating me on my laptop ~ I really wish I knew why they differ in that way as far as Japanese compatibility is concerned). And as I hoped, the update from 0.93 has added a few nice little features (like a comment on what kind of dungeon you have each week and also challenges (or rather bets) for extra goals (like "Fell 6 maids within the next 3 weeks" or "Collect 1 lock pick within the next 2 weeks"). I really recommend this game to people who like the dungeon designing business - it is somewhat simple but has a lot of nice options to explore. Ah, knowing Japanese might help to get the most out of it.

Third, a minor joy earlier this week was to see that the Absolute Power expansion pack came with a printed manual. Hooray! Because I really hate the companies who expect you to print the PDF manual when you buy a physical copy of the game (I mean, with download shops, there is no other way, but with packages).

I rarely spend more than six hours in bed except for weekends. There's so much you can do in the wee hours of the morning. Unless you want to be productive.

[sonerohi]

I like biking in the morning. Very scenic where I live.

[Retro]

Eh. I get 0-3 hours a day, usually somewhere between 9am and 2pm. Unless it's light out I just don't feel tired. The concept of 'day' in a human sense rather than a based-on-earth's-rotation sense becomes interesting, certainly.

Which reminds me. I need to get some food, and my internal clock is telling me it's dinnertime. It's cooking time! Aw yeah. Appropriately enough, I'm already in the happy thread.
