Games

Hmm...there hasn't been much to write these past few weeks/days/whatever.
Today I finished this really cool game called The Neverhood. I've been stuck on the second-last puzzle for quite a while.
The next Adoptees of Whenever I Want To should be coming soon. Maybe next weekend, and possibly earlier.
I really hope Ball Revamped V will come out at some point. It's such a cool series.
And I wonder what Cyan will make next, now that they finished the Myst Series. Hopefully it's good! Well, if there's a lot of exploring then it'll be good for sure! Even without...without...Ages! There, I said it.
Oh well, that's about it. Bye!

Adoptees of Whenever I Want To

Finally, here is my first Adoptees of Whenever I want To!!
Leelu (left), Alana (center), and Luna (right) were adopted from Anastasia at Orange October:

Sorry that the logo above isn't animated, but I don't think you can do that in a blog. Expect to see more adoptees soon, especially fairies!

A few more various thoughts

I just realized that I have a LOT more posts in January than any other month! Yey! Keep the post flow coming, eh?
I forgot to mention one other thing: I will post the links to some of the Ages I found on my Age Hunt at some point. Phew, confusing sentence! In other words, I'm going to post my Age Hunt finds here, at some point. That's better.
Not too bad for someone who didn't know what to say? Two posts in one day, and the day isn't half over!

Various thoughts on various matters

Ever had one of those times when you want to write or type something but just can't think of what to write/type? Yup, that's what's happening to me now.
Ok, ideas...well, I was just playing Ball Revamped III, part one and two, and I finished it. This is about the 5th time I finished it. It's cool, but I don't like the big levels. They feel confusing.
I hope Cyan's new game will be just as good as the Myst series. And I hope it envolves exploring...and other worlds...and books that transport you to those worlds...ok, ok, I want another Myst game. Well, at least there are some fan games (and Ages) out there. One day I might make my own Myst game, but I need to start with something more simple. Maybe an Escape-the-roomer. Or I could make a fan Age that you can walk around in. I have enough knowledge to make a small, simple one. That would be cool.
Now, one more thing...uh...um...just let me think of one...OH! I thought of something: expect my Adoptees of Whenever I Want To sometime this weekend (hopefully).

Hunting down the Ages

Well, now I'm on an Age hunt! What's that? Well, it's a game where you look around the internet for Ages made by Myst fans. It can be just a description of an Age, a few pictures, or a whole game, it doesn't matter. Where did I hear of this game? I made it up! So far I have, um... *checks*...20 links in my "Fan Ages" folder. Hopefully I can find more (*hint hint*).

Ball Revamped IV adventures 2

YAHOO! I DID IT!! I was about to give up after catching the portal 4 times, but I decided to keep going, and won soon after! Yey for balls! Yey for level codes! Yey for stubbornness! Yey for over-excited Nicoles! Yeah...
Oh, and it said in the credits that there may be a Ball Revamped V later. Will there really be one? Will the series end at 5 like a certain other series? Or will the ball never be needed again? Yeah, I know, I'm reading too much into it.
Bye!

Ball Revamped IV adventures

COME ON BALL! Get that portal! Careful! AAAARRRGGHHH! *crash*
That's better! Go go go! YES! Now, get the portal agai-aaaaahhh! *crash*
Well, I got to the portal once. I'll keep you updated on my progress!
No, first I'll have lunch...

Ball Revamped IV

Well, Ball Revamped IV is out and it is great! I have made it to the final boss now (level 101) and it is SO hard. I got frustrated and gave up for now. Luckily I have the (previous) level code written down so I can get back when I want to. Oh well, I can do it. Right? Right!! GO BALL!!!

Now I really am getting the hang of this blog!

The end of Myst series sadness is starting to get to me. *sigh*
Oh well, onto happier matters:
First of all, Ball Revamped IV, the last (not again!!) part in a cool series is coming out really soon. Here's the link to the site: http://www.jmtb02.com/
Actually I should probably add it to my links section.
Another thing is, a couple of days ago (I think it was on Friday. Yes, that's when it was), I managed to convert the classic escape-the-room games into notebook-form with page numbers and stuff. Instead of items, though, there are clues to a code. I have made two so far. Maybe later I will learn how to make a real notebook escape-the-room, with items.
Wow, that's a long "onto happier matters" compared with the sad matters. Yes, you could say I'm optimistic.
I really have mastered the blog! Wahoo!

Possibly my longest post

Ok, I think I'm starting to get the hang of this blog. It's like a journal, just online, right? Maybe I will be able to find interesting things (besides various holidays) to post after all...
Now, here's some news:
1. I finally finished End of Ages!! I gathered up my courage and finished it! The final descision wasn't as dramatic as I thought it would be, and that gave me the...strength I guess, to make the right choice. For one moment I thought I had messed up, but it all turned out good. All in all, I would say that was an awesome finish. Maybe I'll do a review of End of Ages at some point.
2. I got this really cool how to make drinks book. It has tons of recipes for smoothies and other drinks
3. Today I found out that a rolling pin can make a good back-massager. Who knew!
4. I think I finally figured out the whole adoptables thing. My Adoptees of Whenever I Want To should be coming soon. (Aha, you noticed the name change! Good job! :-) No, really...)

Thoughts on 2006

Happy (late) New Year!
I like the look of 2006, it looks very...official I guess.
It's also cool that we are getting close to 2010. That number looks rather futuristic to me.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the new year, I know I will!
