Jan. 17th, 2013 07:30 amAt this point, I'm already tired of Arn's Winter Quest: Gway Edition.
Well, first thing I need to mention, is that while it looked completely flawless on SkullKid3's LetsPlay, the graphics were pretty fucked up while I played the game personally. Not to the point that it was unplayable, until I got to this place that's supposed to resemble Moonside, in which everything is just a graphical mess. I had to watch a video from the aforementioned LP just to see where I was supposed to go. And then, I talked to someone inside the Topolla Theater auditorium, and the game branches off to where, canonically, Prince Poo is supposed to enter the story and it's suddenly coherent. (Thankfully, I didn't save after that, before turning the game off.)
As it turns out, I was supposed to have expanded the ROM to 48MB with Lunar Expand. My fault for not having read anything carefully enough.
In any case, fighting stuff just isn't fun anymore. I think I'm just gonna put the game to rest and start over another day, when it becomes relevant to Starbound.
Also started a conversation with Radiation on Facebook yesterday afternoon. Linked him to the entry about the canon trilogy, but I still have yet to hear back from him. If Starbound interests him enough, maybe I could get him to archive enemies from both AWQ and the Halloween hack, and to also help me retain the same kind of humor and other things that defined Earthbound, be it for the fic itself or the possible future game adaptation that I might have Brian work on, all in exchange for permission to see what I've got planned out for the fic.

Jake asked me why any of this even matters in the first place.
