sooo o o o christmas
i dont want to make a big blog on it, cuz thats what everyone does XD aha, besides, it was nothing super exciting or unusual. it really didn't feel much like christmas at any time except during the present opening, because on christmas Eve, christmas, and the day after ppl were grumpy and in bad moods, on christmas eve sara was stressing over the painting she was making for grandma, and well i was stressing for her.. i woke up on christmas and im like, blehhh, so i didnt get up for a while... i hate not being a kid anymore.. where i couldnt sleep cuz of christmas the next day, and as soon as i woke up i'd leap out of bed without any question. this time it felt abbot like any other morning. i lie in bed thinking about how cold it is and how i dont feel like getting up, so i fall asleep again, wake up, fall asleep.. bleh whatevs. christmas was still fun, while it was happening. for the first time in years, though, we didnt have Lefse for breakfast because.. dad had been working nights recently or something ,so he would be too tired to make it or something. but i Guess that was okay, considering i would always have a hard time enjoying it and eating much because of the Christmas presents waiting in the other room, haha. Wowww, i just said i wouldnt blog much on christmas because everyone does, haa. ummm soooooo it was good. nothing spectacular but it was good. my fave gifts would have to be the new mic Dad got me, it is sooo much better, i can finally sound like MYSELF when i record! WOOOOT. &&& i love brie's Gifts, i think she knows me better than most my fam does at this point, haha. esp my aunt and uncle.
she [brie] got me an HN keychain ^_^
theeese:
& something like this in blue:
ANNND she got jay & sara Warnings at Waverly academy ^_^ so i guess i'll give a lil review on it. lol.
First off, muuuuuuuuuuuch better game than RAN. no overhead view on ANYTHING (Thank God lol), PEOPLE! peeeoppple. lol. and i liked how the characters were my age... almost everyone reminded both sara and me of someone. Mel was obviously my favorite ^_^ she reminded both me and sara of our cousin Katie o_O noooot how she looked or her style, which, as sara pointed out, didn't even really fit her personality and stuff. it was too girly. but her personality and just the way she was and stuff, was totally katie. haha. if we have her over we should have her play it, despite the fact that she prolly really wouldnt want to xD haha
The game itself reflected the old games a lot better. you have the big ol building to explore at the beginning, instead of a bunch of annoying little places to visit on a map. i felt like plotwise, tho, they tried to stick to the old WAYYY too much. the plot was EXACTLY teh same as all the other plots. Annnnd the whole secret society running around in robes at night chanting some chant carried on from long ago as some lame tradition? CUUUURRRR.
i think they need to work on some twists to get away from the standard ND game mold.. what would be really cool, is if they made a sort of double game or something. like the first mystery ends, but then another mystery pops up right when you think you're done. that'd be uber xD kinda like the ND trilogy books.
ANywhoos The game was reeeallly short (we played some on Christmas and some yesterday & the very end this morning). idk if it was the lack of a bugazzillion tedious puzzles that usually come with such a cliche plot and drag everything out, or if we're all just getting better. haha. despite its shortness (which is so much better than dragging it out by having to ride your boat back and forth 50,000 times), i felt satisfied with it. it was exciting enough and stuff. there was one odd thing that didnt really make sense/ever get cleared up.. but if i elaborated on it it would give away too much for anyone who might play it who hasn't... and the other thing that never got cleared up was the deal with Jacob framing Mel???????????????????????
another thing that was interesting to me... was Megan. HER Interactive NEVER makes a whole dogone 3d character for someone who isn't in the game. if there's a picture of someone, it's a photo. so basically, she must be a future ND game character... awesome haha cuz she looked cool :P
so there's my bad review. overall i thought this game was very good. it never seemed slow or boring.. i never lost interest in it. things can always be better, theres always room for improvement, but this was a good one. not sure where it ranks in my faves yet.. lol.. but it's prolly near the top.. if not possibly at the top.
and the next ND game... well, i really DK what to think about it. lol. very... different.
*edit* omg i forgot about the creepy thing that happened! well this morning we had to go to church before we could finish the last puzzle in WAC and finish the game... so as we're driving to church we see this sign tacked up on one of the electricity posts. it said "MISSING BLACK CAT." and you know how normally they have a photo of the cat? no, this one did not. instead? little black silhouette drawings of the cat. and the first one was EXACTLY the same as the one in the book in WAC. reeeallll creepy.
and to add to that, we've had a black cat living under our porch for a while... psh, it prolly started living there when WAC first released. haha. oh the creepiness xD
