lost & found vintage toys

eso homes

it's been just over a year now since i first started playing the mmo game elder scrolls online ~

& i've just reached level 500 ~

so i'm someone that loves houses & homes ~

up at my gallery or in my gameworlds ~

my home base in eso would be daggerfall overlook ~

but i've acquired many more over the last year ~

either by completing questlines, which earned the hall of the lunar champion shown here ~

or spending my hard earned gold, like i did for the witch's cottage here ~

i enjoy adding trees & other features i've collected ~

or building items myself at my crafting stations ~

which takes time as you can see here at grymharth's woe in windhelm ~

which is still nearly empty ~

but my booplion is content here ;) ~

here's ravenhurst in rivenspire ~

i like to have homes or rooms wherever i travel ~

so that my pets & mounts are comfortable ~

i look forward to filling up the antiquarian's alpine estate shown here ~

i'm going to be focusing on videogames throughout november as we await the release of the ps5 so gamers stay tuned ;) ~

flashback friday - lies of p

this flashback friday post is from 2023.. welcome, october ~

starting off this halloween month with a cool new game i want to play ~

lies of p (based on the classic pinocchio story by carlo collodi) ~

i'll be heading into this game come wintertime ;) ~

but for now let's check out some of raven's screenshots ~

this game has the look & feel of a from software game ~

very bloodbornesque ~

& if it also has the feel of an american mcgee's alice game that's because some of the artists who created those games worked on this game too ~

you play as geppetto's puppet ~

as with all souls games finding checkpoints is important (in this game they're called stargazers) ~

our first goal is to get to hotel krat which is one of the few safe places in the city ~

we were called there by a mysterious person named sophia ~

one really cool mechanic in this game is that you collect music to make yourself more human.. (& spoiler! there's a kitty!!!) ~

now let's check out raven's playthrough :) & please subscribe! ~

p.s. this game also makes me think of one of my favorite rare oldies that i played all the way to the end, the city of lost children ;)

throwback thursday - pinocchio

for this throwback thursday a look back at the classic character pinocchio.. ok so more pinocchio as promised ~

this is a nice big hardback version from classic press 1968 ~

what i like about it is that it is annotated ~

with all kinds of interesting relevant facts in the margins ~

my favorite character is the blue fairy ~

if you've ever seen the steven spielberg movie AI you'll never forget this character ~

& this book ends with complete instructions on how to make your own puppet & cardboard theater, not unlike one toxic remembers making for an elementary school book report project ~

more pinocchio tomorrow ~

now updated with related links!
