New Year's was uneventful as it usually is. My parents didn't invite Grammy over or anything. Instead they played video games for most of the day. I caught up on my internet things, and maybe mentally prepared for all the blog posts I plan to write for the next several days. However, we did get some snack foods for dinner. We got two different ( Read more... )

I finished Yorkshire Gubbins, which instead of being one cohesive game, it's more like a few short games that are more episodic. The first one is more of a tutorial, and the next three feature the main character who is named Steggy. One part has her running into a clone of her friend and she has to determine which one is real and which one is a ( Read more... )

Christmas was yesterday and I spent most of it feeling tired and unenthusiastic. We didn't do much during the day during Christmas Eve except my mom and I built a couple Christmas legos. Actually, we had gotten this knock-off not-lego set last year of a Christmas house, and we had started working on it, but we spent two hours and didn't even get ( Read more... )

Yes, it's Christmas Eve, but I thought I'd get out one last blog post before Christmas. I finished A Twisted Tale yesterday, although it's meant to be the first chapter of seven. There's a better chance of this game continuing because it came out this year, however I'm not sure how I'd feel about continuing. There's very little background about ( Read more... )

I finished BELPAESE: Homecoming yesterday. This is an Italian game that was translated into English. It's about a guy named Peppe who comes home from university after being a total failure with no degree and he can't face his mother, so he's got to find some way to impress her. Once that's done, he gets involved in some other situations. I don't ( Read more... )

I finished Maggie's Apartment or at least it seemed that way because I was taken back to the main menu screen. This was a weird one. It's one of those games where it serves more as a piece of art than anything else. You play as Maggie, alone in her apartment, which has been locked down for some reason. She's in love with a man named Randy Rosebud ( Read more... )

The last trip to Disneyland of the year. I was anxious to get out this time before the gardener came and because there are things I wanted to get accomplished before lunch time. It didn't exactly happen that way. The parking structure and tram went relatively smoothly, but we still didn't get into the park until around 10. It was pretty cold. ( Read more... )

I finished Orwell's Animal Farm sorta kinda. At least it seemed like I got one of the endings. It seemed to end abruptly. I'm sure there's more. It's a short game if you don't replay it, which I don't. I'm not going to get into the story of Animal Farm. I'm sure most everyone knows that story, but you're supposed to try to help the farm survive by ( Read more... )

So, Thanksgiving was yesterday. I'd say it was a good Thanksgiving. I watched the parade in the morning and I was in a good mood. I was a bit worried because my mom decided to get a frozen turkey this year, but it did defrost in time. We did good with the turkey this year. We got some seasonings and gravy from Williams & Sonoma, and the seasonings ( Read more... )

I finished Magret & FaceDeBouc “The buddy-buddy case”. This is a French game that was translated into English and it kind of shows, but not that it's bad. Sometimes the dialog didn't flow so well, but you play as a duck named Magret. He's a cop and he teams up with a goat named FaceDeBouc who is another detective. I was a little worried the humor ( Read more... )
