Take a minute to be kind to someone today, even if that someone is you. We all need a little more kindness, giving and receiving.

    New chapter for A Balance of Fire and Light dropping ...

    A few minutes ago actually.
    So yeah, if you haven't already why not check out my newest chapter in A Balance of Fire and Light: Ghosts of the Present.
    Anyway, in the next chapter Everyone Sleeps!
    Seriously? You're passing that off as a teaser?
    Yeah, it doesn't spoil anything and is technically correct. The best kind of correct!

    Upcoming chapters

    I'm still going to endeavor to put out a chapter a month, but unfortunately my writing has been slow lately and while I know where I'm taking the story, getting there is taking even more time.
    Part of my slowness comes from not having a solid framework to build off of. When the series was running I had that framework but I don't have that with this story.

    I think this sums up my page pretty well.

    I'd like to thank Lurks-no-more for this brilliant summation which I feel is quite accurate for my writing.

    A stroke of genius, yes. Also known as an aneurysm of poetry.

    A small update this month

    This month we have A Series of Calls.
    There's more coming up.
    I swear I haven't been distracted by Elden Ring since the announcement of it's upcoming DLC.
    On an unrelated note, any tips for fighting Malenia?

I played The Room: Tribute · 3:53pm May 15th, 2020

I'm on a bit of a bad movie binge, and this is the second game that brought me to.
This game follows the story of the notoriously bad movie “The Room” recreating scenes and music, even using lines directly from the movie. But there's a lot of weird things the game putts in, like a massive earthquake that isolated this block from the rest of the world. It's mentioned at the beginning and never addressed again.
The story revolves around Johnny and his life just days before his death. (The games starts by showing his grave, so no spoiler there.) He works at the local bank, has a girlfriend named Lisa, a best friend Mark, some weird kid friend/son/stalker/thing Denny, and an annoying soon to be mother-in-law, Claudette.
The game starts with Johnny leaving the bank and the earthquake hitting. Mark drives up, mentions the earthquake then Claudette shows up. She climbs in Mark's car and they drive off leaving you with your first objective. Buy a dress for Lisa. The dress shop is on the next screen so it's easy. The next screen from there is the apartment building Johnny lives in, to the right is Mark's Love Shack (go here first, it's one of many things Johnny wishes he could un-see,) and to the left is Denny's closet/stalker shrine to Lisa.
Now is the time to mention that this game does feature nudity. So if that's a problem for you, don't play it. I wouldn't call the nudity a plus by any means, but it is there.
From here you go to your apartment and the game closely follows the movie with it's important scenes. There's fun little things to do also, and things you should get right away (Your money is effectively infinite so don't worry about it. I tried to run out of money but lost patience.) like a tape recorder. And the game has a bunch of references to other movies.
Take some time to explore and find the fun things hidden in this game. Grab a magical spoon, see things you will wish you hadn't, make a sandwich, say “Hi” to a doggy.
There's two turn based combat sequences in the game, and you can definitely lose them. You need to actually use some strategy.
I will also say that the ending part that you play is AMAZING! Be sure to go out and do everything you can before doing anything else in the apartment. (You'll know what I'm talking about when it happens.)
The people who made this game were dedicated, talented, and funny. They took a hilariously bad movie, and made a fun and genuinely funny game out of it. I had to take a few moments just to stop laughing at a few points in this game.
There's also a special ending if you collect every secret spoon in the game, and they're well hidden so be sure to hunt them down.
Okay, controls are just mouse interaction unless otherwise indicated. It does the job.
The graphics are pixel art, and they're done quite well. But they don't just make pixel versions of the characters, good work went into what they made and their interpretations of the characters show this and add to the hilarity of the game.
The music is digital interpretations of the music from the movie with a remix or two. I loved the battle remix of the theme.
All in all I'd say this game is definitely worth playing. Doubly so if you're a fan of The Room.
