new life experiences
Apr. 15th, 2013 01:36 pmWriting about inchoate woe is boring. Even I am bored with thinking about it. So here instead are new and interesting experiences I have had since last Friday.
- Throwing up in a garbage can in the microscope room, which upon sober reflection I decided was probably less awful than throwing up in the multiple-occupancy school bathroom would've been. (Atypical migraine? Stress? Disease? Unknown.)
- Playing fascinating products of the Pulse-Pounding Heart-Stopping Dating Sim Jam, including the one with the traumatized ukulele-playing T-rex and, my biology-laden favorite, Benthic Love.
- Playing Hatoful Boyfriend, which deserves like three listings here because it is at least three WTF experiences.
. First: you are a human going to a high school for pigeons and dating them. This was enough for me to want to play it!
. Second: Actually this game is pretty dark, whoa.
. Third: If you unlock enough endings it turns into an entirely different game: a much darker sci-fi visual novel.
. Fourth: I can't fail to mention the ending where ineffable pudding winds up in every soul in the universe or the one where you fight the magical final boss because the nutty kid from the anime club was right all along. Really, play this thing. It is not Pulse-Pounding or Heart-Stopping but is damned sure Jaw-Dropping.
