So, if you're unlucky enough to follow me on twitter, you'll know two things in my recent history:
1. Ursula Vernon played Hatoful Boyfriend, and live-tweeted it, and it was freaking amazing, and now I want to play it. I've been reading stuff about visual novels ever since (though technically Hatoful is a dating sim. With pigeons!) BTW, if you ARE going to read Ursula's tweets about it, there's spoilers. They're pretty vague, but they are there, nonetheless.
2. I've been without internet for three and a half days and it's been driving me MAD. Luckily, two(!!) engineers came out, tinkered with stuff, and it's now fixed. Although it somehow set the router's name and password to things I'd never seen before, so I had to get an ethernet cable and log into the router, so that was fun (for some reason, the default password I'd been gifted was AAAAAAAA, which will never not make me think of Yume Nikki, and obviously I changed it).
I kept wanting to tweet that being without internet makes me more productive (I've been working on an idea which has nothing to do with anything, and put quite a bit into it for the two days I wrote the most). But it doesn't, really. I just get more angry and, if anything, more distracted.
So anyway I've got this WHOLE OTHER IDEA that is nothing to do with anything I've mentioned as wanting to do recently. But it's keeping me amused (which is a good thing), and my mind off work. I had been playing Dragon Age II, but now I want to do anything but. Which is also good, really, because I've been drawing more than I have been recently, and enjoying it, and feel like my drawings work, so that's good, too.
There are entirely too many commas in this entry.
Also I've discovered Christine Love's games, which look really interesting. I've downloaded most of her free ones, have some tabs open with her Twine ones, and I really want to buy Analogue: A Hate Story (and its sequel, Hate Plus), but I can't afford to buy them right now. I have the demo of Analogue, so at least I can play that and see if I like it.
(It was interesting, because I could swear I've never heard of her until two days ago, but looking through her tumblr, I think I have, I just think her name didn't impinge on me (but some of the stuff she talked about did) ).
I was going to make a review post of the year, but then my internet went out. I'll do it tomorrow instead (which will be chronologically appropriate if nothing else).

Ooh, Christine Love! You may have noticed them on tumblr but if the demo for Analogue interests you, then there's Digital: A Love Story too, which is completely free (hope you like message boards)! Don't Take It Personally exists too which is technically related to Digital, but it's got a couple of moments in it that didn't sit well with me. YMMV on that though, it's still short (and free) enough to have a poke at.

(Obviously my router was Poniko, right?)
Yeah, I know for sure I saw her letter to one of the PAX organisers after the dickwolves thing happened. But possibly I've seen other things about her recently-ish, too. I've got Digital and Don't Take It Personally (going to play those first), but also a couple of her older games, too. I've just got to figure out how to make them work on Linux now...(if I can't figure it out, at least there's Windows versions and WINE).
