snowball in hell: rainy day..

About

a ghost.. a real ghost.. has no need to die.. what is he except a being without access to the universe that he has not yet managed to forget?

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!

ghost pix album ~ rpg videogame screenshots, lol kitties & all kinds of goodies.. (use a pc or laptop to hear my game mix here)

our game gallery..

home to oblivion..

ok i need a whole section just for elder scrolls~oblivion 'cause i'm playing it and loving it way too much right now.. i am so beautifully lost here living as a vampire & i'm never coming back.
later ~ 430 hours of gameplay all as a vampire & now i'm stuck in limbo in the deadly glitch.. noooo!!
update: i'm on the methadone of rpgs for my oblivion withdrawls, it's predecessor morrowind ~ the game of the year edition.. these are now my All-Time favorite rpgs, above all others..
NEW ELDER SCROLLS!!
SKYRIM!! 11/11/11!! DAWNGUARD DLC!!
& more dlc to come!
the awful tyranny of the sun shall end..
come into oblivion with me & tour my homes.. (note: vampirism has changed my appearance & my invisibility is due to stealth..)
so many ways to die..
realms of madness..
a friend in highcross town..
bonus morrowind footage..
welcome to skyrim..

rainy day..

i changed the excerpt in the book section.. my, how the time does fly away, doesn't it? once my time machine is up and running i'm going back for a little visit.. but i want to be able to come home again.

in oblivion i found all the parts necessary to get the orrery up and running again at the arcane university.. it's an enormous mechanical contraption that spins around like an astronomical representation of that world and it's moons and planets.. i get special magic powers from visits there now..

today i got itunes reinstalled and my library back up after the recent update mishap.. good thing 'cause i was going through serious smith withdrawls.. hence the new ghostunes fix/mix.. i needed it bad. i tried to pick the happy smith songs... well, as happy as they get? it's ok, they're about as happy as i get, too..

tomorrow tomorrow

everybody knows which way you go
..straight over
no one wants to see you inside of me
..straight over
i heard the hammer at the lock
say 'you're deaf and dumb and done'
give yourself another talk
this time make it sound like someone..
the noise is coming out
and if it's not out now
then tomorrow.. tomorrow..
they took your life apart
and called you failures art
they were wrong though
they won't know 'til tomorrow
i got static in my head
the reflected sound of everything
tried to go to where it led
but it didn't lead to anything..
the noise is coming out
and if it's not out now
i know it's just about
to drown tomorrow out...

amity

amity amity amity amity
amity amity amity caught stars in her arms..
hello hello kitty happy in new york city
amity walkin' like a lucky charm
i'm a neon sign & i stay open all the time
so let's go! go go go!
amity amity
god don't make no jokes
but it's plain to see
that he still made me
he told me so
i'm good to go
i'm ready to go..
'cause you laugh & talk & 'cause
you make my world rock
(i'm so so so-so...)
amity amity amity amity
amity amity amity
good to go...

switching to opeth for a bit..
i'm here talking to myself again...
pain does something to a person..
toxic & i have had these migraine headaches forever, i thought i was so used to them, i could take it.. lately i'm so so tired of being in pain.. the bad immobilizing kind that makes me twitch every few minutes..
it tears me down.
it pulls me right down & fills my heart with black hate.. for this world.
driving dan to film class, saw a tabby cat out near the traffic.. goddamned world.. seeing flat cats in the street all the time makes me feel homicidal.. just like toxic used to see.. her kitties flat in the driveway all the time..

back in california i used to call the animal control people & report every one.. so at least they'd get picked up so i wouldn't have to see them there day after day..
they probly thought i was nuts.. i don't care.
goddamn world.
stupid pain.

Posted by: friendlyghost | October 09, 2006 at 07:48 PM

my kitties woke me up early 'cause it's cold & they all tried to get under the covers... but the good news is the killer migraine is off in the distance.. switching up the tunes again for a taste of the squirrel nut zippers...
at this point i don't know if i'll make my october 25th dr's appt.. i have pretty bad dark scars..
stupid drs anyway...
grumble..
now excuse me, because i must tango.

Posted by: friendlyghost | October 10, 2006 at 08:45 AM

Man, go to that appointment!!!!! Don't pisssssss me off!!!! I'm tellin you because - if you don't - ...I...well...or...

I am so happy you are better today Ghost.
Happy Scout

"but i don't want to go among mad people" Alice remarked.
"oh, you can't help that," said the Cat:
"we're all mad here.
i'm mad. you're mad."
"how do you know i'm mad?" said Alice.
"you must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
Alice didn't think that proved it at all;
however, she went on "and how do you know that you're mad?"
"to begin with," said the Cat, "a dog's not mad. you grant that?"
"i suppose so," said Alice.
"well, then," the Cat went on, "you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased.
Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad.."
but why is the rum gone?!
