It turns out playing Amnesia The Dark Descent is only slightly above 'stare at rapidly flashing colors' on the list of 'fun things to do when you have a headache.' The more you know. Ow.

Back in a cold house in Berkeley, having coughed so much that it feels like all the muscles on the right hand side of my torso have been pulled, and without vidjagames.

Instead I had three hours of German today.  Result: everyone is impressed with me for no reason (=/) + a test on Friday (D:) + a shitty drawing of Otacon (D:<).

Mum and Sister are antagonising each other. Just know I'm going to have to seperate them soon.

I'm starting to wonder if the forum games I make are really forum game material.

The first one was, but then again it was more of an experiment than a real game.  These more complicated ones I'm doing, I'm not sure though.  I have these ideas for awesome stuff but somehow I'm not sure I'm comfortable with introducing the Player Input factor, and if I can't let the player influence the story it's not a game.

But at the same time I don't want to just write a story.  I guess I'll just have to suck it up and let the players do what they do.

In 13 days I'll be studying 11,5 hours a day, 6 days a week, for ~6 months

Pop some popcorn and take a seat on the couch instead. If that doesn't make them realize what they're doing, hey, free show.

There's a fine line between railroad shooter and WIZARD!!!. One is enjoyable as a read, the other is enjoyable because the creator is just going along with it. Somewhere in the middle is where you want to be- Have a plot planned out, who the antagonists are, etc. but let the players make a large amount of choices.

After watching some silly person who occasionally posts here play Alpha centauri, I decided I wanna play it too. So I get my girlfriends CDs and get ready to install it.

It won't even try to install. I just get the windows seven loading circle on my cursor and it stops. I have no idea why it wont try to install and I don't even know what to do to fix it. And this is from an original CD.

Dammitall.

You might need to run the XP compatibility mode I've heard so much about.

[Owlga]

No compatibility mode I've tried so far has worked. Or running it as an administrator.

I had a similar issue with Civ II.
It wouldn't even let me run the installer in compatibility mode.
I was so disappointed.
Loved that game so much.

[ChairmanPoo]

Civ 2 could run under dos.

[Glowcat]

Not really sad, but annoyed with Congressman Weiner for lying about his Twitter account being hacked and doing something so incredibly stupid in the first place. [Insert being a dick joke here]

無（nothing）＆　同じ（same）。
Every time I see them recently, I just start crying.
Not the English words, though, only the kanji, for some reason.

I've just been sad a lot lately.
I guess it wouldn't be so bad were it not for the fact that I keep switching between this and ridiculously happy.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Bleh.. Nightmares keeping me awake all of last night
