And now I shall ne'er be able to make Formal think he's gone mad evermore, for verily he doth be on his guard now. Curses and consternation!

Apologies for the lateness of this update. I've been busy as hell lately so I haven't found the time to update until now. Luckily though, I've still been playing almost everyday so this is going to be a big update.

This is a flashing neon sign. Add it to the list of things that make no sense in this game.

And that's it for today. I may or may not get an update done tomorrow. I'm playing a talent show in the evening and may take the time to run through my bands set list a few times instead. So more to come either tomorrow or Monday.
I do find the sprites changing at they get damaged an interesting little feature.
I love this thread so much.
That is awesome Spooniest.
Thanks guys.
And someone has to be a credit to this province. There aren't many reasons to like it aside from EOFF members and LP's of terrible games.
On a side note. I'm thinking of recording my LP's in the future since I want to do more. Probably wouldn't record for longer RPG's, but I wanted to ask if there's much interest in me doing that. It may or may not be a bit more work, but I think it could work quite well with certain titles.
As long as it remains funny
Vivi, your humour while doing these rival actual comedians. Never change that. It's positively lovely.
Can't wait to hear the end of this tale. I wonder what game you could do next? I have an idea: The World Ends With You. The game is ripe for your brand of humour.
Thanks Formal. I've been a bit distracted since my copy of Heart of the Swarm came this week, but I'll be getting back to this next week. I think I'll revise my plan of updating everyday though. I'll still play everyday, but some days are taken up by just grinding through battlefield so nothing happens worth updating for. I'll shoot for two or three updates a week instead.
I'm not sure what I'll play next, though the World Ends With You might be a good one if there's a decent DS emulator out there. I never played it actually so that could be fun.
Im pretty sure there are a few good GBA+DS emulators.
Forward, the Light Brigade!'
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho'(though) the soldiers knew
Some one had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd;
Storm'd at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.
