I see it as a bright pink/purple. How about you?

We now return you to our irregularly scheduled lj entry.

I've played about a third of the classic, old school adventure/action game "Another World" (aka Out of The World) and even though I've just started, I need to say this:

Another World is one of the f'ing best examples of storytelling I've ever seen in a video game.

I mean, I love fluff like Sonic games and the Maniac Mansion games. Fluff is fun, but... then you find something with actual weight to it and it just blows you out of the water.

Fear me.

I have smashed the laws of Neopets physics and gained a Baby coloured pet from the lab ray.

Something is very wrong with the lab ray programming if I'm able to get a "forbidden" colour. Heh, I did get one of the cooler Baby pets, a Baby Pteri, and it beats having keep to stare at a Red Pteri when I don't want to (a Red Pteri is the character that appears on the "Neopets is down" screens).

Katie's going through Sonic Heroes withdraw and keeps singing the theme song. I'd like the theme but I still think that the line "Watch me rule the night away" sounds better the way I original thought I heard it, "Watch me blow the night away". High art Sonic music isn't. Thankfully, she's learning the lyrics to "Follow Me", which I can stand a bit more than the main theme. It's cute, although not as mature sounding as "What I'm Made Of", "This Machine" or "Team Chaotix". ::points to those three songs:: If I had my way, that's the direction that Sonic game music would go. "We Can" can burn for all I care.

I need something to listen to as I hold out until I have the money to buy "We Were Born In A Flame" by Sam Roberts. "Hard Road" = bliss.
