I'm back and I'm ready to post more links to fan-Ages!
Ok, let's get right to the point:
http://expage.com/mtar1
If you've been to the Oceanic Age (you can access it on a previous Age post) and found a journal, you probably now about M'tar, the Age of Awe. Well, here you can check it out. Again, you have to use your imagination to see the Age, but the description is very nice.
http://www.aveara.com/console.htm
Aveara is supposed to be an awesome Age...but for some reason I can't do anything on it besides read a neat story. I do that by clicking on "chapters" and then "launch chapter". I'm not sure if Aveara's supposed to be a game or an Age or what, but I would really appreciate any enlightenment.

This is L'halaa V'road, the land of purple nights. It's another PYOPA-style adventure (like the Oceanic Age), but here there are dead-ends and a plot. It was one of the first fan-Ages I found, and I really enjoy playing it. To play it, scroll down to the picture of the rose. From there you can get to L'halaa V'road.
http://dni.kasha.net/ages.html
This website has beautiful Age pictures. A must-see if you like Age pictures! The only sad thing is that you can't walk around in it.

This is the Age of Serenity. Here you can read about yourself exploring it. It sounds very nice, but I can't help imagining Serenia, from Myst IV Revelation. But I think the Age of Serenity was made first. Anyway, the person who made this obviously had a clear image of what the Age looks like.
Ok, that's all for now. But still more to come!

Quick spring thoughts
I'm going skating in a few minutes, so I better make this quick.
First of all, I wanted to say that soon it'll be spring. I'm pretty happy about that.
Another thing I'm happy about is pretty much opposite: snow. This winter has been very mild, and recently it snowed. It's beginning to melt again, but at least it's something. I'll just stretch the scattered days of snow we got over the whole winter. That will require a lot of stretching, but oh well. Today, or at least sometime this week, I will also post more links to Ages. Coming up is M'Tar the Age of awe, the Age of purple nights, and others.
Ok, I really have to go now.
Bye,
Nicole

Even more Ages
Wow, that was quick, huh?
Here are some more fan-Ages:
http://www.dnilegacy.com/
This is the first game I found in my Age Hunt, and maybe even the first Age. You can play online or download to play offline...I know, kind of obvious. D'ni Legacy has really neat Ages, nice graphics, great storyline, and it even continues the Myst tradition of tons of journal-reading!
http://www.tsahno.com/
This game looks awesome, but unfortunately it's not out yet. Still, you can look at the screenshots and trailers on the website, and there's even a (rarely-updated) newspage.
http://www.agesofilathid.com/
The Ages Of Ilathid is another awesome-looking, not-out-yet game. I am totally amazed by the screenshots, by the way. There are going to be NINE Ages, too. At least that's what the introduction says. I hope it comes out soon!
And that's it for now! But I'll keep posting, just you wait!

Ages
Today I decided that I'm definitely not a journal person ("journal" including blogs). However, I think you already figured that out.
I made a new notebook escape the room game today. There are two rooms in it, making it the largest notebook escape game I've made so far...except for maybe the Arcade Escape one.
Maybe I should start making escape the room games on the computer based on these notebook ones. That would be cool.
I'm really starting to miss Myst. That's rather strange, because I have gone for a long time without Myst games. I guess now that I know there won't be any more I miss them. Well, at least Cyan is still making games. And there are lots of fan-Ages.
Speaking of which, I have been meaning to post some links to various fan-Ages at some point. I have some free time and desire now, so I might as well post some now!
Here are four:
http://members.aol.com/kirb9701/library.html
This one links to two Ages: Nightglow and Greenstone. There isn't a whole lot to do but there are is a great description and cool drawings of the islands. Definitely worth a look!
http://web.interware.hu/frenzy/myages/
When I first came to this Age there was just a desert, but now you can go to several Ages. When My Ages gets some sound, puzzles, and more Ages then I will officially call it a game. For now it's a fan-Age with really good graphics!
http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Labyrinth/7077/reefage.html?200519
The Reef Age is another Age you can wander around in. Lots of stuff to explore here! The graphics are ok, but the Age itself is pretty cool.
http://expage.com/0ceanic
The Oceanic Age is what I call a PYOPA, a Pick Your Own Path Adventure. In other words, a choose your own adventure game. There isn't a lot of exploring, but it's nice all the same. There is a journal that seems to hint at something bigger intended for this Age.
That's all for now, but tune in next time, when Nicole will post links to some of the better-known Ages that all Age Explorers will need to visit!

Adoptees of Whenever I Want To
Hi!
Sorry for the long absense, I was uh...trapped in an alternate world where there are no adoptables...yeah... *shifty eyes*
Anyway, here's my next set of adoptables.
(Left to right) Zhara, Iris, and Lyndie were (also) adopted at An Orange October:

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!

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!

Christmas!
Merry Christmas from Every Colour!
I love Christmas...it's so wintery.
I found a cool escape the room game yesterday. It isn't green and red, but it still fits with the whole Christmas feel. Here is the link (a little present from me): http://www.fasco-csc.com/works/white/white.php
Good luck in getting out!
If you're stuck, here's a walkthrough: http://www.ajkul.com/games/adventure/white_chamber_walkthrough.php
Again, Merry Christmas!
Bye for now.

Myst 5 nearly done
I'm ALMOST done with End of Ages. Now I'm waiting for the perfect moment to finish it. Ok...I'm also kind of nervous about the final decision. Wish me luck with that! *crosses fingers*

End of Ages updates
I made it past Noloben recently! I loved the last puzzle! So...dynamic.
Anyway, I finally found out what the last Age is called. Laki'ann...Lakiann...Laki'ahn...I'm not sure how it's spelled, but you get it. It's SO cool! And the funniest creature lives there, too! Some sort of dino-bird. I'm looking forward to solving my first puzzle in Laki'ahn!
Well, better go. Bye!

I made it past Todelmer! Hooray!
It's getting pretty dreary here. It really feels like winter is coming. At least it's nice in End of Ages. I have officially made it past Todelmer and I've made it to Noloben, a beachy Age with dramatic-looking weather. Like in Amateria, from Myst 3 Exile, but less dramatic. I've gotten past a hard puzzle and I'm looking around a secret place. I'm starting to get nervous about the "final descision". I hope I make the right choice!
Bye for now! I'll post any End of Ages updates! (Yes, I'm feeling kind of excited. YEY!!! *runs around room for no apparent reason* ^_^)
