With The Eyes Shut, Looking Through The Rust And Rot And Dust.
I get a lot of misdirected e-mail intended for other people with my name. My new favourite instance: a few days ago, someone accidentally sent me what looks like their design for a porn website logo. They did not, alas, respond to my 'whoops, I think you have the wrong person' e-mail.
I just remembered that Sam Winchester canonically slept with his actor's wife. That is canonically a thing that happened in Supernatural.
Other canonical events in Supernatural that sound completely made up:
- A man slow dances with an alien.
- The Winchesters investigate reports of a yeti and instead discover an enormous, living teddy bear.
- One of the protagonists is trapped inside an advertisement for herpes medication.
- Someone writes incestuous slashfic about the protagonists onscreen.
- An angel rewrites history so the Titanic never sank, because he really, really hates the film.
- The Winchesters attend a Supernatural convention.
- The show introduces a character who represents the show's creator, and a character who represents the show's fandom, and then pairs them up.
Anyway, here is the trailer for the upcoming Scooby-Doo crossover episode.
I have started playing NieR: Automata! Interesting game. Very weird. Switches wildly between 3D and 2D, and between RPG, action, platforming and bullet hell. Lots of interesting mechanics and charming attention to detail; lots of odd fetishistic stuff. You have the option to explode at any point. It won't actually kill you, but it will put you in critical health and burn off your clothes.
I was thinking 'hmm, which Linkin Park lyric should I use for the title of this entry?' and then remembered this line from 'Forgotten', which is weirdly perfect for a post-apocalyptic game with a blindfolded protagonist.
Something it's worth being aware of, if you're planning to play this yourself: there are no save points until you're past the first area, which takes maybe an hour and includes multiple bosses. Don't start the game unless you have an hour to spare (I wish I'd known this before my first attempt!), and it might be worth starting it on Easy, to reduce the chances that you'll get killed and have to do the entire opening again.
You can change difficulty at any point without penalty, which is nice. I switched from Easy to Normal after reaching the first save point, and then I switched back to Easy because I was just so bad at the shooty spaceship sequences. Easy it is!
Important question: why can't I stroke the moose? I bought an item that would keep moose from running away from me, but I still can't stroke them. How is this acceptable?
