Stupid digital roots

Quick list:

α The tabs I have left open for research for original fic or blog posts I want to write get weirder and weirder, including Wikipedia links about tricksters and troubadours. Not for the same thing, sadly. I think this is why I rarely write: MY IMAGINATION IS TOO RANDOM.

β I'm getting used to reading in my silly gadget. My main issue is focusing in one book at the time.

γ The first finished thing this year was Odd and the Frost Giants by Neil Gaiman. Even if it's a short story aimed at children, this might be my favorite mythology-based thing from everything he's written. I thought the main character was going to be like Hiccup, and in the end he was That Kid In Animanga Who Always Grins To Creep You Out ^_^ Trufax.

δ And because some of you were talking about it, I tried 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors(aka 999) yesterday. No$GBA wasn't saving well, so I used DeSmuME to play the ROM instead. I got to the Safe ending, I'll do the True ending later, then maybe the rest of the bad ends. The game is pretty good, some sort of ungodly hybrid between Hotel Dusk and Phoenix Wright gameplay wise, but very Agatha Christie meets any horror film with people trapped in a twisted game of sorts. It's pretty good if you like those two genres. Also, is it just me or the corpse descriptions are gross? I know that death by explosion is hella awful, but maaaaaan, TMI.

ε Read more of The Iliad, self!

I didn't know about 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors and now I'm really curious. It sounds a bit like the manga Doubt and I love graphic adventures, so maybe I should check it... I have too many unfinished games atm, but perhaps later if I find a cheap copy somehow.

I hadn't heard about it until two days ago, despite being out in USA since November or something, fff. It's a good horror visual novel/puzzle point-and-click with multiple endings -or I think it is good, I've never played a visual novel because most of them are for PC and need complicated translation patches, so there might be better ones out there. It sucks that it hasn't come to Europe yet, though :( Oh well, I still haven't bought the Hotel Dusk sequel anyway.
