Let's Play With No Foreknowledge: Chrono Trigger! Part 1 of Who Knows.

Thu, 24 May 2012 05:24:48 GMT

So, ages back I figured I would try something like this.

Thus, with no warning, I have randomly decided to begin my Chrono Trigger Let's Play! With no foreknowledge, of course.

Expect a ton of tl;dr!

What the hell is Chrono Trigger anyway?

... Honestly, the amount I know about Chrono Trigger could fit on the head of a pin. All I know about it - literally - is that it's a popular cult-favourite JRPG that has something to do with time travelling.

Yep. That's all. And this is how I'm going into the game, folks! With no foreknowledge. 8D Expect me to just... brutally suck at everything.

Also expect me to be kind of OCD because that's... me.

ANYWAY. On with the show!

( A bunch of images and tl;dr text inside this cut for those poor people who don't want their F-Lists mauled by Chrono Trigger crap )

I would appreciate any kind of input on how I could do this better, too. More screenshots? Fewer? More shitty jokes? Fewer shitty jokes? Something else? Videos are kinda out of the question unless someone can suggest a really good screen-recording software...

Anyway, thanks everybody for reading, and I hope to see you guys again for Part 2! 83

One of these days I'll learn to have some kind of schedule for these

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 05:56:02 GMT

But that day is not today. Or any day prior to this, really.

What have I even done lately that's worthwhile to discuss? Other than fail an AC, argh. That's the first time I've failed one in... a year and eight months. Wow. Good job, self.

It occurs to me that I have a bunch of games I have not played and never have played sitting around waiting for me to play them. I wonder if I should do some kind of blind Let's Play akin to what hickumu was doing with OoT... (Which is another game I never played, by the way. :|) I considered Chrono Trigger as Ami was like "HEY YOU SHOULD HAVE A MUSE FOR LUCCA" and the character sounds cute. Scientist girls! I must have scientist girl muses!

... So yeah, there's that.

Hmm, what else is new... I actually willingly went for a rather lengthy walk a few days ago! And promptly ended up injuring myself. 8| I can't seem to get exercise without injuring myself afterwards like a moron. Clearly this means I need to do it more regularly, so I'm considering doing so again tomorrow! \o/ (Watch me strain my ankle...)

The path I took during it took me near my old elementary school, which I do not have fond memories of, needless to say. D8

Not that anybody wants to hear about that... :|;

Bluh bluh, I have such an uninspiring life. LOL I should try my hand at something actually productive one of these days... Gods know I have a long enough list of stuff I could be doing there but am not. Why am I such a procrastinator?

Answer: Probably because it's easier to just flop around than do things...

... Speaking of failure, I should never be allowed near Super Mario World ever again. Meph can attest to my epic amounts of suckage attempting to play it... we must've died like 40 times in the first three worlds. _@ And we game over'd twice. BEST MARIO PLAYERS EVER. (I'm usually so good at the platformers! Why did I suck at these...)

Whelp. I have nothing more interesting to say. /rolls away

Wow, I'm really terrible at being consistent, aren't I?

... l-lol... What is with me and never writing about my life?

...

Oh yes, that's right. Because it's boring. That probably explains it!

8|

It's a pretty sad sack of existence when the most significant thing I did today was get Pokemon ROM patching to work properly. /facepalm... On the bright side, though, I did do something marginally fascinating recently, so I should probably say something about that before it becomes entirely irrelevant and too far in the past to be worth mentioning.

RIGHT. So let's get on that, shall we? /yea

... Rewind to two days ago, really, because something significant happened then. Wanna know what it is?

It's called... GOLDEN WENT OUTSIDE HIS HOUSE AND INTERACTED WITH OTHER HUMAN BEINGS WILLINGLY!!!!!

I know! It's such a shocking and rare occurrence that it's about equal to the idea of seeing the sky itself rend apart and a chorus of angels spiralling down flanking the Flying Spaghetti Monster carrying Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny singing a duet while the entire cast of the Care Bears backs the vocals up with an acapella rendition of "Don't Stop Believin'".

... In other words, it's the kind of insanity that happens once in a very rare occasion, namely because I never really have any reason to do it.

However this time was different, because I had - gasp - motivation, in the form of two Luceti-muns! Or... rather, in the form of a Luceti-mun and a mun-to-be: our very own Mon (the mun of the lovely Little Mac and Isaac) and PurePlum (the to-be mun of the equally-lovely Sabriel).

( Rambling about the trip in here! )

... So, that's my trip! Now as for the one crappy thing about it - LEG PAIN. I still can't walk without stiffness.

Yes, that says a lot about how sedentary my life is. It's a bit of a wake-up call, admittedly. I don't know if it's enough of one, though... I mean, that would require motivation and I don't have a lot of that...

... But it's just another excuse, really. An excuse not to do anything. :| I dunno if I should let myself be making those anymore. /rolls

Oh, that brings me into my next pile of blargh - RP failure.

( RP failure blargh )

:|

... IDK what to do, really. Has anybody ever been in a similar situation? I don't really want asspats - I mean, this situation is probably just as much my fault, or there must be something on my end, IDK - but I am curious as to what you other guys might do.

... And I'm also curious if this means I'm... I dunno, doing something stupid and not noticing. Am I just somehow giving off "asshole" impressions? Or... IDK. /Kanye shrug

Well, that's all the interesting stuff I had to say. Sorry for being so absent, guys... I just forget I even have a personal DW some days because my life is so boring it's not worth writing about. 8[

/rolls away~

Whoa holy shit I'm writing on this thing?

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:59:23 GMT

... Huh, go figure, I can write stuff that doesn't directly pertain to RPing!

... So.

I have never used a journal for anything before, and I figure at 9:00 a.m.-ish after waking up from sleeping at 4 p.m. the day before and then waking up again at 10 p.m. is totally the best time to do this. In other words - this is shitty stream-of-consciousness writing and so is liable to completely suck. :|; Apologies beforehand.

( blah blah RP stuff )

... Oh, right, I actually have a life outside of the computer. I nearly forgot! I should probably ramble about that too.

( blah blah RL-ish stuff )

... /rolls around...

... Hrm. What else is there?

Oh. Well. I gotta straighten my sleep schedule out so I can take my sibling on a dry run through the public transit system... so that she doesn't freak out trying to do it herself on Friday. Otherwise we're gonna get a repeat of her panic attack from before. :|; And nobody wants that... especially not her. Plus it might do me good to get out again... I mean, I haven't for at least a couple of weeks. >_> /nope not totally a useless shut-in

UM. I think this sums up everything mildly interesting about my life right now? Gods I wish I could HTML better. Or in other way make this look less stupid.

/stfus for now
