lost & found vintage toys

flashback friday favorite ~ american mcgee's alice

today i'm sharing what is my most favorite videogame of all ~

american mcgee's alice by ea games on pc from 2000 ~

what can i say except that i just love this game ~

at the time i played this game i had my pc hooked up to my tv for a nice big screen ~

i got well into this twisted wonderland & then needed to upgrade my pc to xp which resulted in my losing all playability! ~

an old friend, humpty dumpty ~

the cheshire cat by my side ~

original gameplay guide ~

oldschool installation ~

alice had a whole arsenal of toys she used as weapons in this dark wonderland ~

& so there i was stuck in the middle of the game for years with no end in sight ~

more than once people have commented about a resemblence between this alice & myself ~

i tried every fix i could to get the game to play but nothing worked ~

these are the notes taken by alice's psychiatrist at rutledge asylum ~

complete ~

there was laudanum & camphor ~

bloodletting & solitary confinement ~

art therapy? ~

force-feeding ~

experimental drugs ~

in-patient abuse ~

homicide & suicide attempts ~

insane children & a therapy cat? ~

psychoanalysis ~

you know, the usual ~

while dr heironymous q. wilson tries everything to evoke a breakthrough, alice fights her personal demons all in her own mind ~

i can relate ~

'if it's my keen invention you'd like to destroy, i'll withstand your best shot: i've got the right toy..' ~

check back tomorrow to see alice's progress ~

this has been a flashback friday favorite post from 2014.. also, alice fans should support american mcgee over on Patreon like i do to get cool insider benefits & help bring about more adventures in wonderland :D ~

i must say, this game always seemed to be created for me personally combining all of my interests perfectly ~

i'm a bit sad to be done with it for now ~

snug is my 17 year old cheshire tabby & she was with me the whole way of course ~

laptop mausoleum

late post today.. i'm wondering how others deal with laptop death? i have a veritable mausoleum in my closet.. this morning i began experiencing what i've come to know as the first signs of laptop death with my trusty toshiba. :( had to wait for help from my IT oriented son to bring it 'round to functioning enough for me to post.. i don't deal with laptop death well. as a reclusive person i probably make connections to things more than the sparse people in my world.. laptops, old toys, kid's books.. go figure ~

i'm not a phone person, actually i may be the only human left who does not have a phone? but i do love my laptops like old friends & they tend to accumulate stickers due to toxic & her forever sticker addiction, adding to the loss when i finally must let one go.. this older one i had to keep kicking back into shape as the screen barely would stay upright near the end, it would start slipping forward or back sadly as i typed out my posts.. (cry) ~

& this one literally Caught Fire, not once but 3 times on its power cord before i could let it go.. i'm never ready for it. i may be at that point again. i guess there is the upside of looking for new stickers?? but my money tree is out of season right now.. will update ~
