A long time ago, in a day before blazing graphics and reflex button smashing games. There was the Text based adventures. In these games you where given nothing but a text based description of what you saw. From that you would have to chose what to do by typing your actions in to the command prompt. later versions added a picture to help the player visualize what was going on. (more…)
Ah, summer. That marvelous time when spirits soar like an airship in a fair wind, And hopes swell with the canvas sails. In the morning we are met with the bright rays of sunrise, and in the evening the sky is is filled with the spectacular colors of the sun’s last stand. Now as you go about your summer days there are a few things to keep in mind, both for you and your crew mates.
- Keep hydrated. This simple but often over looked process can mean all difference between a productive scoundrel and one more bed wormer in sick bay.
- Wear protection. I recommend Professor Gwyn’s Super sun and bug screen spf 9000. sure you might experience random hair loss or gain and may turn all colors of the rainbow before the day is done but at least you wont be kept up all night by those annoying sunburns.
- Keep alert. Its easy to doze off with all that worm sun, but this can prove to be a disastrous mistake. Anything from missing the first sight of an imperial cruiser to improperly secured salvage can spell doom for a ship.Also while spiritual enlightenment is the goal of some, I really doubt your crew mates will be please to find themselves one with the aether because you failed to notice a leak in the main engines cooling tube.
- Organize. If your like me you probably put off your spring cleaning, Never fear there is still time to find a place for everything and for everything some sort of space. And remember your way of organizing may not fit with the typical mind set. I for one like piles set in such a way that I have access to what I need with in a moments notice. It’s such a bother to search thorough endless drawers for your mini-clockwork drill gun.
- Enjoy. Its summer time! get out there and enjoy it! There are glider-packs to test Ray guns to fire, and electric fencing words to build. If you happen to be more of the laid back sort, open cook outs on the deck, art to pain, and books to read. If your interested in trying out one of my inventions you could try that one over here at The Falling Angel – its just a little art thing I call a inter-web-space comic.
What ever you chose to do this summer I wish you the best of it.
