Holy SNOO! An update within the same month as the last one? Could I really have changed my ways? Well, I don't want to jinx it, so let's just jump straight into the action!
First, though, a shout-out: This episode is dedicated to Jonesy, who we all know and love as one of the best screencappers EVAR. He's turning twenty-one this Saturday, so everyone should go wish him well 'cause he is AWESOME and read his adventures 'cause they are AWESOME. Happy early birthday, honey! yeah I know nothing says "OH SHIT I FORGOT YOUR BIRTHDAY" like shoehorning your name into one of my crappy screencap adventures shut up and eat yer durned cake
When we last saw our heroes, they were taking a well-deserved break to rest their nerves after the Pyramid of Unwinnable DOOM. Little did they know that soon they'd be confronting epic explosions, sinister Easter eggs, underground mazes, things in the dark, and tentacles doing naughty things! WHAT! WILL! HAPPEN?!

I aten't dead. There's really no excuse I can make for a nine-month absence...well, okay, there is one when I put it that way, but I didn't actually get knocked up. Long story short, college is a bitch and I'm sorry. But rejoice, for I now return to bring you inept screencapping and tepid humor once more! ...you know, like anyone was reading this in the first place.
Long, long ago, we left Matt and Andre on a riverbank with a mysterious crystal known as the Diamond Eye. Since then, they've been waiting to find its mate, because mismatched jewelry is so uncute. What lies ahead? Could it be...another obnoxious switch-laden dungeon? Oh, son of a...

First item of business! mega_hassi was inspired by the last episode into CROSSOVER MAYHEM!
I swear, I like it more every time I watch it :D Thanks, Mega Hassi, for bringing GREAT JUSTICE to this screencap adventure!
Moving on. Yes, I once again allowed a fair amount of time to slip by between updates. I could blame it on my connection repeatedly dying, but you wanna know what the truth is?
I HATE THIS DUNGEON. WITH A PASSION. IT'S LONG AND CONFUSING AND BROWN AND THERE ARE THREE ZILLION SWITCHES. Playing through it was bad enough, but then trying to work out how to make it entertaining for YOU guys? I have a reputation to keep up, after all...
So, after a lot of stalling and some discussion with NeutralTwin (read his awesome adventures NAO!), I took his advice and made this episode a "highlights" entry, culling the tedious stuff for the sake of a more entertaining experience. A brief weeding of any shot with a switch in it later, the cap-batch was reduced by a full third and gleamed like a shiny gleaming thing. It's not as thorough as the others I've done, but it should be as interesting, with any luck.
So! Bitching and mooing aside, when we last saw our heroes, they bought rare and overpriced souvenirs from an authentic Roman marketplace, crossed the desert once more on the rowboat of a tourist-minded ghost pirate, and met Professor Horace Highwater, another elusive Podunk resident. Now, they continue their search for the mysterious Diamond Eyes in a twisting labyrinth. Will there be a minotaur? Read on to find out!

Guten tag, everyone! See, I told you I'd pick up the pace! We have officially accelerated from "ex-animate" to "sluggish"! Provided it's an old slug. An old and lethargic slug. An old and lethargic slug whose pseudopods give it gyp in bad weather.
cough.
Anyway, last time, we got a brief chance to explore the marketplace before being pitted against a tooth-spitting gladiator in MORTAL COMBAT, noticing a few familiar faces in the background along the way. Emerging victorious, our heroes were sent on a fetch quest for a mysterious pair of jewels (insert scrotum joke here if so wished). However, player-omnipotence proved that perhaps those in power aren't as benevolent as it seems...

Welp, here we are again. I apologize for the long absence, but my classes got to the point that I just didn't have the time or volition to update. I'm sure I could've tossed off entries if I had really needed to, but they would've been even more sub-standard than usual, and I respect this project more than that. Now, though, I'm facing several sweet, sweet months free of graphing and cellular structure, so now, hopefully the screencaps get done and I make a neat pun for the people who are still alive reading. See? Game references! I'm in rare form today, folks! Granted, that form of rare is "lukewarm and dripping blood", but it's a step in the right direction, yes?
When we last left our heroes, they were split up from each other, one unknowingly masquerading as an unlikely religious symbol, the other lost in a dark and very expensive forest wide and very annoying desert. At last, Matt reached an ancient city...but what hidden dangers might lie in store for him there?

Yeah, it's been awhile. School again, sorry. But hey, how better to ignore impending algebra homework than to read inane comments over an overlay of screenshots?
Last time, our intrepid heroes solved the village's troubles only to be informed that hey, yeah, more peril, and close the door on your way out, kthxbye. We left them at the foot of a rapidly cooling volcano, in search of the evil Vipers' lair. Will they be successful in their quest? Probably not for a couple more editions yet, but we can pretend!

Hello, everyone! I'm Delcat Delcat. You may remember me as an unremarkable loser. That is, sadly, the case. However, I am an unremarkable loser with a story to tell!
In 1995, back before they put the "Enix" in "Squeenix", Squaresoft released an adventure game. Discerning gamers scorned it for many reasons, including claims that it was ripped off from Secret of Mana, it didn't have a lot of dragons in it, and it was persistently and unashamedly American. Not being a discerning gamer, I was happily and blissfully unaware of this, and in my ignorance, enjoyed it greatly.
Now, I'm not gonna lie to you. The game has its flaws, and I am known for liking games other people do not (kiss kiss, Pokemon Snap, kiss kiss). It requires a bit of patience to crack open the tough shell and break into the sweet, sweet nutty goodness inside, but the reward is deliciously different gameplay, quirky humor, and mummified cats.
And so I asked, "How much patience does it take to look at a big page of pictures instead?".
So, with that awkward segue...
( Ladies and gentlemen...Secret of Evermore. )
UPDATE: Now with music! :D |

After roughly three minutes of serious deliberation, I've decided to pull up stakes and cast my lot in with GreatestJournal. A free account nets you pretty much everything a paid account here does, plus room for two thousand icons. TWO THOUSAND ICONS. COME ON, PEOPLE, IT'S TWO THOUSAND ICONS. THAT IS MANY-LOTS MORE THAN THREE. Also, Hamtaro moodset = love.
So, yeah, here's my new journal. It looks like crap, seeing as my HTML skillz are nonexistent, but I'm gonna do some Googling and should turn up a pretty sweet layout soon enough.
It's been fun. Just not TWO THOUSAND FREAKING ICONS fun. See y'all on the other side. |

I'm in rare form today, folks. And by "rare", I mean "lukewarm and dripping blood". Enjoy.
ETA: This place is beautiful. Why? Here's a couple of quotes:
Media : mixed
Size : 13 x 19
Original : $300
Prints : 8.5 x 11 available
Description : This was one of those things. I had a sudden mad urge to do something inspired by Susan Seddon Boulet, so I slathered a couple of ink washes on some Strathmore board and was noodling around, waiting for a shape to come out and say "Paint me!" Given the inspiration, I was expecting something...oh... mythic. Women. Animals. Goddesses. Trees with faces. Something deep and Jungian and spiritual.
I got an orc with an eyeball on a stick. Typical.

Description : In the wee hours of the night, I woke up, clutched my husband's shoulder, and said 'I've got it!'
He said 'Hrrrgggzt?'
I said 'If storks carry babies, then vultures must carry zombie babies!'
There was a pause, and then he said, enunciating each word with great clarity, 'What the HELL, man...?' and then fell immediately back asleep. He later disavowed all memory of this incident, but I painted it anyway.
And here's a few links:

The awkward young shadow that waits in the hall: It's a sore point with me, because people don't give Vincent a lot of credit. They act like he has no backbone at all. You know?
(L)http://www.freewebs.com/kimioaishiteru_koneko/: Yes! I know exactly what you mean!
Sometimes, people aren't really as bad as you think. She turned out nice enough, and very apologetic, and won me over with her broken English:
(L)http://www.freewebs.com/kimioaishiteru_koneko/: Vincent is beautiful and broken, and Cid is there to fix!
It troo!
It's a shame, really. I haven't played a good game of brainball in ages... |

ch 1, anon. I like the way you write. But, just so you know, this is a flame.
I hate VinxCid.
WHY do people make Vincent seme...?
Can you answer me that?
You have my email, so send me your reasons, maybe I will consider stop hating it.
Try to convince me yes? I love it the other way around,
but I simply cannot picture me the poor beautful and broken Vincent on top, and the gruff and handsome Cid on the bottom... How is that possible?
Anyway you have talent, but I and me alone(seemingly) think that Vincent is the perfect uke.
Oh well.
Do I have to start a bloody campaign? |
