Hey Man, well this is Babylon

This morning, I resisted the powerful seduction of bacon. It was difficult, as my willpower is weakest in the groggy hours, but in the end I prevailed. I was heavily tempted and conflicted, but managed to set my resolve and not eat it. I love me some bacon, that’s the godsbedamned truth. But two things I adore far more than bacon are the exercise and strengthening of my personal willpower, and the dedication to a long-term goal of the bettering of my body.

So, game-wise, I’m torn. On the one hand, the idea of the characters being both watchmen and criminals in Five Fingers really appeals to me, because the notion of a game set up like The Wire is really damn cool. On the other hand, the idea of them being members of the FF chapterhouse of the Strangelight Workshop (aka, the Ghostbusters) is awesome, if only because I really like the word “Strangelight” and can see it being made into one wicked-sweet logo for the campaign’s logsite.

Lately, my dreams have been incredibly realistic. So realistic and subtle that at points during the day I muse whether or not certain things I remember recently were not actually just dreams. I’m talking about really vivid dreams, but none so crazy that they are obviously hallucinations or dreams.

A post on my friends list by tcpip has led me to look up the Fatal Frame series of video games again. I played #2 for a bit, but it was just too damn scary and the mechanics too damn slow and clunky for my tastes. So, instead, I settled for watching Lisa play it, and at that moment, my lust for watching others play involving video games was born. Anyway, I decided to look up the plot and stories of the three games from the series, resorting to Wikipedia for my information. Warning: Fatal Frame Video Game Spoilers Behind the Link! Jesus Harold Christ, the Japanese really are insane.

Behind the Snip is my new favorite song of the week. Read more
