ghost's top eleven rpg's:
#1 ~ down the rabbit hole... "here's a riddle.. when is a croquet mallet like a billy club? ..i'll tell you... whenever you want it to be..." cheshire cat to alice (american mcgee's alice: the original) this game is my favorite above all others...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you thank you mr mcgee for alice madness returns!!! (with the original i still rate these the best!)
#2 is primal, especially the wraith world where i felt right at home.. what a relief to play a strong female for a change, and with scree the gargoyle at my side... loved this game and want more!!!
#3 is fable/fable:lost chapters/fable 2.. get lost in this incredible world and determine your own fate... good or evil.. or somewhere in between... fable 3 is out!!!
#4 city of lost children.. based on the french movie of the same name.. you are miette, an orphan, use your thieving and sneaking skills to free the childrens' souls from the evil inventor who is stealing their dreams...
tied at #4 the kingdom hearts games (2).. disney meets final fantasy! play in disney worlds alongside jack skellington in halloweentown, jack sparrow in the caribbean or alice at the mad tea party..
#5 is van helsing.. if you liked the movie, play this gothic masterpiece and face werewolves, the frankenstein monster, mr hyde and count dracula himself...
#6 are all of the lord of the rings games, which are all worth mastering, including the hobbit game.. (watch out for the spiders!)
& the old classic snes lord of the rings.. (another good old favorite.. i spent forever lost in the barrow downs...)
#7 are all the ultima games.. my favorites were 'quest of the avatar' and 'the false prophet'.. but if you like the classics try out 'black gate' and 'exodus' and the other oldies..
#8 is the original nes game shadowgate.. the one that turned me into an rpg junkie in the first place all those years ago.. hunched over my controller in the dark in my camper in the middle of the night.. still a classic...
#9 is final fantasy, but i'm an old time gamer, so i mean the original final fantasy games on nes/snes like 1, 2, 3 + mystic quest.. still the best even without the graphics of the newer games...
#10 is lemony snickett's series of unfortunate events.. ok, so this game is not terribly hard..
(i was able to complete it even while fairly intoxicated..) it is still creative and fun if you enjoyed the movie, which i did...
i needed a #11 on my list for all the honorable mentions.. unforgettable games like wizardry, king arthur's world, tombs & treasures, deja vu, faxanadu, the immortal, breath of fire and the dragon warrior games.. also baldur's gate, the ren & stimpy games that wrecked my nerves, zombies ate my neighbors, fester's quest, maniac mansion!!! ...gasp... too many to remember... aargghh! all those years spent in the dark deep in some labyrinth scribbling cryptic notes and maps.. is that what is was that made me mad? or did they save me from madness...? the world may never know.. (p.s. i never made it without biting..)
!X! a bonus: i absolutely approve of the gamecube's eternal darkness: sanity's requiem.. lovecraftian & hallucinogenic.. i dare you!
the post-apocalyptic fallout games, F3, new vegas & F4 coming soon!
dante's inferno ~ go to hell!
gothic victorian lovecraftian bloodshed :D bloodborne!
i highly approve of the other from software games besides bloodborne, demon's souls & dark souls 1, 2 & 3.. not for the faint of heart, gotta get good for these!

vintage giant play-inside dollhouse

08/03/2012

i bought this giant cardboard 'play-inside' dollhouse about 25 years ago ~

mail-in offer & instructions ~

my kitties approve of it ~

it came with wildly off-scale furniture & dolls ~ lol!

cardboard kitchen with all the mod cons ~

also parts, lightbulbs & seeds for a 'real working greenhouse' ~

instructions & pieces ~

it's quirky, but we enjoy it ~

adorable sloth

a special toy today ~

for kitties <3 ~

adorable sloth is soft & crinkly ~

he is alice's favorite toy so far ~

it's like her funny little baby :) ~

note: this was our miss boopy's old playhouse, now completely razed to the ground by little alice :O ~

recently alice made this shrimpy face for thurston waffles on twitter, & so he invited her out on a shrampout <3 ~

just as long as she brought snacks ;) ~

fallout week

so i'll be posting fallout items off & on all week ~

as i windup this f76 playthrough for now ~

& tuck my beloved winchester mystery frankencamp & vault 11 into mothballs for awhile ~

bye for now, waterslide ~

as i ready myself to head into the much awaited elden ring! :D ~

so here i will say, fallout 76 just isn't fallout 3, 4 or even new vegas ~

i've played all extensively & posted several times about my adventures here at the lost & found ~

including my kitty sanctuary compound at the starlight drive in ~

& my lost & found toy shop in the old pharmacy building at university point ~

sadly the only kitties i have in f76 are toys & topiary ~

& the weapon usage in f76 is positively unfun compared to the other games, wonky & overly complicated ~

but what i do love is my camp & personal private vault ;) ~

where i've been able to set up everything just the way i like it ~

safe from pvp griefers & supermutants ~

with master suite & inner kid room ~

crafting stations ~

bathroom ~

even my own retro diner ~

which i posted about here before ~

in back ~

i'm sure i'll be coming back here some other time ~

vault forever, surface never! ~

flashback friday favorite ~ things to make for children

this is a vintage sunset book from 1974 that toxic had at her house ~

she used to pore over the dollhouse pages & try to get her dad to build one for her ~

he didn't. ~

so now me & hubby build dollhouses together ~

dollhouse furniture ~

can you tell it's the 70's from these sock puppets? ~

toxic once followed these plans to make a puppet theater out of a cardboard box for an elementary school project ~

it worked great ~

cool treehouse! ~
