"I am not wise,
I am just very old, ...and I smoke too much." (paraphrased from Alice's Elder Gnome)
...and I believe I have found my closest game character!
Working on Alice has been strange, for obvious reasons,
but the most profound one is that I am doing the first two levels of the game. I NEVER do
levels in the first episode! Strange things are in the air!
Has noone really found the two Old Man Murray and one
JeffK easter eggs in FAKK yet? Two are very easy, but one (OMM) logo was strategically
placed and I was hoping one of the Crippled Brothers would have been notified by now. Do I
need to run a contest or something? Here's a hint, you have to set "R_GAMMA 2"
to see it well. Be thinking of where a game developer would put the Old Man Murray logo,
too. "Noone has hated SiN more than the Pope, until now." I haven't forgotten,
you bastards! ... ;) |
| Wow! I am terribly sorry for all the down
time the past three weeks. I have been home with an excruciatingly painful pinched nerve
in my neck/back/arm. Granted, I have a very low tolerance for pain, but this was truly a
bitch, ...the kind of pain that makes me realize I wouldn't last 30 seconds before singing
any and all secrets in a torture situation. I even
went to the doctor, which is the rarest of solutions for me. He believes it is
work-related, but when the pain didn't cease after two weeks of what he called "super
pain relievers" (I miss the 1970s!;), he sent me for an MRI. ...way cool piece of
technology! I felt like I was in some Star Trek episode or something. I also have to get
this weird nerve conductivity test next, in which they stick electrified needles into the
nerve at the neck and at the end of the arm, but I think I'm feeling much better for that
now ;)
BTW, I disagree with the doctor and believe it all
started with those restraining straps at Rogue! Did no one see me blinking an SOS message
with my eye lids in the video interviews? Ya! ..."nice place to work",
..."love being here", ...sure! They MADE me say those things! No one came to
save me, no one cared!
Okay, sorry, Rogue is indeed a great place to work. It's
nice to be home again, but if I didn't have a Ritual, I would probably be a Roguette ;)
Hope all is well with little Alice, laddies!
I do have one issue with my home, though. I mean, here it
is Halloween and all, and no one is in costume. I spent all the trouble and time
dressing-up as my favorite celebrity game developer, and I feel like a fool being the only
one that cared. "There was what, no one at the mutant hamster races and we had one
entry into the Madame Curie look-alike contest and he was disqualified later. Why do I
bother?" ...anyone know what movie that quote is from? ...and if so, can you tell me
why it's NOT on DVD yet?!? |
