ghost gamelinks..

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 child's desk

09/13/2015

i'm interrupting book month for today for a different kind of oldschool item ~

i just love this vintage falcon children's desk ~

it works as an easel or a desk ~

& it has a chalkboard with some vintage chalk still inside ~

the scrolling paper roll on top features nursery rhyme characters~

trees ~

birds ~

letters & numbers ~

flowers ~

animals ~

designs of the era ~

it feels 30's or 40's to me ~

recently i was able to find this sweet little american seating envoy kindergarden chair to go with it ~

just like toxic remembers from kindergarden ~

back to book month tomorrow ~

birthday sneakers

ok so yeah it's somebody's birthday today ;) ~

so that's 56 x 365 trips around the moon for me? & now i am 57 years old, or as i've calculated before about 399 years old mentally, yeah i'm a vampire :o ~

& here is my birthday present which i got to choose early & have custom made! ~

my own converse by you hi top sneakers ~

see 15 years or so ago my mom sent me a card with money in it for my birthday & i bought my old black & white low top sneaks back then ~

& although i do own several different pairs of shoes, i basically never took these off, which has been a tough habit for me to break ever since toxic's day :) ~

i've loved them so, they even still have kitty fur from our pittypats tucked down inside the toes <3 but they were in desperate need of retirement ~

& so here we are with hi tops this time in wonderful dark hunter green with black laces & black floral print ~

custom designed with my name on the backs :D ~

these are now the coolest shoes i have ever seen. ~

i can see when i pair these up with my #noboringsocks i'll have to wear long ones not so much the short ones? ~

i made this decision back when i heard the story of the kids & their teachers lost at the uvalde texas school ~

& i made one last alteration myself ~

in memory of the slaughter of innocents ~

those little girls who would've been artists & marine biologists :( ~

i'll always remember the shock of seeing all the parents meeting up at our local supermarket parking lot when the shooting occurred at my son's old high school, reynold's high, & how we couldn't believe it when there was also a shooter killing people at the mall we always went to.. what will it take to end this insanity? gun control now. ban automatic weapons & make gun owners carry insurance like automobile drivers have to!
