Strange dreams? O_o

I've been known to dabble, especially if I haven't purchased a new game in awhile.

I mean...free games. Which are usually tied into my friends and family. Good times. <3

Angry Birds friends is what I'm usually going to play, if I'm playing.

Great game - I play that one, too. One of the few that I do, actually. I used to play a ton of FB games, but have really cut back over the years. I'm down to about 3 that I play on a semi-regular basis.

What do you think about the games that require you to have X amount of friends in order to advance?

A strange...and funny dream. Strange, and funny dreams, dreams.



Not a fan of dreams in general, akshually. Most are weird, some are good, a lot are nightmares.

I 'spose "A lot" is overstating it. Feels that way though, since I remember those instead of the good ones.

But yeah, I've had some doozies over the years. I was once stuck in a zombie filled mansion (a la, Resident evil), but just when things were about to turn freakish, everything went technicolor. It turned into like...comic book colors, purple zombies, and shiny silver everywhere. Even the weapons (conveiniently dropped in various locales) were monochromatic metallic rainbow colors. The gold one was the best.

I don't remember if I made it out alive.

I don't know. In one way, I find them annoying, since I don't always have friends or family willing to help. On the other, I'm not paying for the game, so I don't mind advertising for them a little.

Used to play Bushwhacker 1 and 2, until I got bored with it. It was like that a lot.

I am not fond of those kinds of games, either. I don't like having to pester my non-gamer friends and family in order to advance in a game. There are a few that I've immediately quit when I discover I need to have more friends before I can get to the good stuff.

If you could design any type of game (video or other) what do you think it would be?

Actually, I'm working on a dungeon-crawler (Dungeon, or Redemption) board game at the moment. I've sort of slid since I finished the first draft and have no one to help me play test it. You play a Guardian, in an alternate reality, who is a holy-warrior fighting a galactic war of Light vs. Shadow.

I think that's what I'd design in a videro game as well. Crawling over multiple planets and multiple locales in a Diablo/Torchlight-esque fashion. But with, hopefully, a bit more roleplay, as those games (and dungeon crawlers in general) tend to devolve quickly into "get better weapons and armor, kill stuff, beat boss, repeat" quickly.

Not that I mind that.

Hows life?

Like I'm getting dragged face first down a sandy beach. With a crab gnawing at my ankle.

Bad day. XD How about for you though?

Lol sounds rough.

Im doing fine thanx.

When I was around 10, I had a dream that I had the Force and I went around crushing houses. When I was young, I had many bad dreams and very few good ones. Because of that, I was kind of scared of a lot of things for no apparent reason. Once I dreamed that I was walking down a dark hallway with my grandmother. We were talking casually and then she suddenly disappeared and what little light there was in the hallway disappeared with her. I kept hearing her voice, but it was coming from many different directions and it was very echo-ey.

Becoming a marshmallow farmer?

Sounds interesting! If you're interested in feedback or suggestions, I could help with that, if you'd like.

They can be effective, but sometimes it can be even more impressive to break the mold and doing something different. Sometimes this can lead to you falling on your face, of course, but sometimes it can develop into something that leaves people thinking "wow... why didn't I think of that?"

Awesome. ^_^ Haven't seen you around much.

Spooky. I usually end up in some odd place, or in a video game. I did dream I could turn into a dragon once, so...awesome.

Organic farmed marshmallows are really the only way to go. I'd call it a dream profession.

Thanks! I've still got some work to do on it (basic maps and item guides, for a start. As well as a less complicated system for rolling up rooms) before it's even really ready for play testing. :\ I looked at it again yesterday and apparently, I wasn't as far along as a I thought. XD Hate when that happens...

I do love that feeling. I remember those games more, I think. Or at least more fondly. I still remember my first time playing Mirrors Edge, and being blown away by the free-running over combat take.

The problem for me is coming up with an idea like that, or executing it properly.

Musk rats?

Cute. <3

I wanna say something like "how much musk could a musk rat musk if a musk rat could rat musk?" But...that doesn't make sense.

Yeah.

Been up and down and all over the place.

I love driving around. We went to the coast a couple of times and the last time, earlier this year, my parents went along.

Was quite fun.

Fun times! ^_^ Road trips are like...insta fun. Especially when the coast is involved.

Mongolian throat singing?

I've never heard of it. Sounds interesting.
