snowball in hell: things i say may seem stranger than sunday changing to monday..

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..

things i say may seem stranger than sunday changing to monday..

when the day is done
down to earth then
sinks the sun
along with everything
that was lost and won
when the day is done.. when the day is done
hope so much your race will be all run
then you find you jumped the gun
have to go back where you've begun
when the day is done.. when the night is cold
some get by but some get old
just to show life's not made of gold
when the night is cold..
when the bird has flown
got no one to call your own
got no place to call your home
when the bird has flown..
when the game's been fought
newspaper blown across the court
lost much sooner than you would have thought
now the game's been fought..
when the party's through
seems so very sad for you
didn't do the things you meant to do
now there's no time to start anew
now the party's through.. when the day is done
down to earth then sinks the sun
along with everything that was lost and won
when the day is done.
sanguisuga..

p.s.
saturday is free comic day!

yesterday was my luckiest of lucky days i must say (to quote ed grimley..)first toxic got free gumby comics for gumbyland!! then buttonbunny accidentally sent me 2 sets of kool elliott smith buttons instead of one at no extra charge! (one to wear, one to put away like a proper collector..) then a bunch of pretty western tanagers froliced in the fir tree right outside my livingroom window, allowing me to take their picture!

we tried an old fashioned pizza place here that's been around since 1965 (a very good year, i might add) and it was very good! the place was dark and full to the ceiling with every kind of vintage toy pedal car, ice cream/pop ads, a stuffed grizzley bear, and there was a bizarre carnival funhouse mirror too.. toxic likes! :)
then Guess! GUESS what happened? i was watching an item on ebay that i've been be-snip-ed on twice/thrice before? the tower exclusive series one version of american mcgee's alice (the one with the black/goth makeup & dress, glow-in-the-dark cheshire cat & much more blood spatters!!) and i SNAGGED i!t
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200220136520&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:US:1123
(third x a charm?)
i was so happy & hyper i kept spazzing out, but although i went to bed very late, i slept! ;z

happy ghost & toxic

well, i'm still a happy ghost because i found a site with a bunch of vintage halloween vinyl and downloaded great sounds & songs.. but my hands are shaking and my eyes feel all funny.. hearing feels tinny & odd too.. woke up with a migraine starting..
i wish my goth alice would arrive.. dusting off a place of honor on my bookshelves for her..

no man is happy without a delusion of some kind.. delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities.

"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?!
