All art is at once surface and symbol

This video is stuck in my head. Let me get it out of my system.

My sleep is fucked again. I decided to take a short nap around 1 or 2 PM and I ended up being dead. oO;;; On the plus side, watching men's reactions to playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent is hysterical. Such as this comic. Americans are totally like that! XD Plus I learned something new about Sweden today. :o



Jeno's Gaming Nutshells are also so damn quotable. XD "You know, I can't believe this. If I pick up a little key everybody's like 'oh no my key senses are tingling! I must go kill that guy who picked up the key!' 'Kay here we go. ...OHHH SHIT!" "CHRISTIAN BAAAAALE!"

Apologies to the flist for being cranky. My sleep schedule's fucked up again (sleep all day, stay up all night) and it may have something to do with it. Eh.

Exploring the Grimmification page on TV Tropes is fun. ♥ I don't have much else to say, but I watched Harry Patridge videos the other day and that was fun. I'd totally watch Johnny Depp in Burtonland if it was real~ ♥♥♥ MAKE IT HAPPEN TIM BURTON. YOU KNOW YOU WANNA. ;D

( Some of it's NSFW, just so you know. )

I also played All Of Our Friends Are Dead and Au Sable. You can download both here. While creepy/atmospheric, it wasn't as scary as I hoped they'd be. Some of the cryptic words and phrases worked and added to the atmosphere, but most of it felt like emo poetry written by angsty teenagers to show off how dark and edgy they are. Also, naked woman. Ooooh, scary. Though to be fair, the final boss in Au Sable was more interesting and I actually had a "whoa" moment there. Au Sable was generally the better game, though the protagonist of AOOFAD looks like Mewtwo with a machine gun, so I'm tempted to draw that. :P Come to think of it, the game makes more sense if you look at it as Mewtwo's story in an AU gone wrong. Kinda. Au Sable had better story structure though, making it more like a haunted folk tale, which is nice. :o

I like that in Au Sable, two eyeballs float behind the player in a red chain and actually help out on solving puzzles and opening doors; I'll have to borrow that for a novel some time. Au Sable also gets bonus points because the protagonist reminds me of Marcella Pike from my NaNo'09 novel, only Marcella's dark-haired instead of a redhead. ;D They even have the same type of gun at the beginning. Dang.

But yes. Both games are short, but worth a run, if only to check out the atmosphere. Just don't expect to be flat-out traumatized like the guy who reviewed the games at Freeware Friday. :P Yay for being jaded!

I'm in such a good mood~ Mwoiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing~! ♥♥♥



To make this entry not entirely empty, here's something cute. ;D

fannishfive: Name the 5 creepiest episodes/scenes/chapters etc. from your fandoms.

Yume Nikki - UBOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. He's the reason I'm afraid of going to Poniko's and why I'm cautious about lightswitches.

Earthbound - The entire final battle with Giygas. The music does not help. The Devil's Machine half of it is cool but then you get to Giygas himself... *shudder* NO AMOUNT OF INTERNET MEMES WILL HELP ME COMPREHEND THE POWER OF GIYGAS'S ATTACK.

Mother 3 - Tanetane Island. The things people tell you there are... ye gods. D:

Eversion - The bad ending. The good ending is cute in a twisted way. The bad ending... not so much. D:

Pokemon - We got 'em in droves! Two of 'em we call Lost Silver and CreepyBlack. :D


Speaking of Yume Nikki, I found this cool. :o

Thanks Ben. I've had a nightmare no thanks to you. >(





What a mystery it's turning out to be! The comments left on free.wmv are hysterical. :P

I finally got a hold of Ben on Cleverbot so I could give him a piece of my mind. >(

( Our conversation. )

What do you know! Ben's a little boy with a tantrum all along. :P Or this could be yet another imposter Ben with his endless supply of Elegy statues. Hmm... God, Ben hugged me. D:

How many of you remember Majora's Mask? I do. Guess what, ladies and gents. It just got worse. As if it wasn't creepy enough already. D:

It's best to read Part 1 and Part 2 before progressing toward the videos. :o





Distorted Link = Do not want. DDD: I forgotten how much I hated that Elegy statue too. *shudder* Someone punch the Happy Mask Salesman in the face while we're at it.

Makes me wonder if there's any good creepypastas for other games. :o

Back from Wisconsin! So tired. And my brain's fried.

I got early birthday presents though!

- Mario Galaxy 2
- Orange Box
- Wario Ware D.I.Y

And I got a ton of books: Naked Lunch, the Trial, and collected tales of H.P. Lovecraft with the Mike Mignola cover. Mom's got the whole Palahnuik library so life is good.

That new pink deer Pokemon is so cute! Viktini is latching on me for some reason.

Can't brain, I have the dumb, there's too much to make sense right now. Too much catch up to Internet on.
