Jul. 24th, 2003 02:14 pmI am now braceless!! Yay! I have to go and get my retainer in about two hours. It feels a little strange, but good. . . I really hated the way the braces felt. :D :D :D
Now I just have to make sure I wear my retainer regularly. I do not want to have braces again. That first week was just murder.
Last knight we finished Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned. Very strange and trippy ending. Well, not trippy so much as. . . it was kind of like something written by Neil Gaiman, except not quite as good. lol. Actually, I must admit, i'm harsh on Gabe 3 because it's so ugly! O_O And the other two were so pretty. But Gabe 3 was a fascinating, fun, and even educational game. Because we did all sorts of research, it was cool. And it had some great puzzles. :D
Anyway. Oh, hey. Someone on a soap opera just made a The Thin Man joke! Whoa! lol. Anyway. . . as I started to say. . . the next games on our list are Grim Fandango, King's Quest 6, and then Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers again, because that one's my favorite. And Katie's, i believe. . . David likes Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within, which was also an excellent game. . . but I really want to play Gabe 1 again :D I don't know though--we'll need to work fast! We watched the Grim Fandango opening scene last night. it's made by Lucasarts, who also did the monkey island game--it's so much fun to be back to Lucasarts! :)
So after that, we got locked out of our house. DX ugh. It was my fault, i was stupid. We stayed at David's til 11 when our parents got home and picked us up. While we were waiting, we finished watching the Six Wives of Hentry VIII. It was excellent. My favorites are Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, and Katherine Parr. Yes, she spells her name with a K. I think. lol. Anyway, that's how Katie spells it. ^_^ Of course, I know that this sort of thing is biased, but that's my verdict based on the show. I admire Anne Boleyn and Catherine of Aragon, and feel bad for. . . well, for all of them, actually.
I'm going to clean the family room, and maybe eat. Then we must go back to get retainer.

That's awesome tho! Today was supposed to be retainer day for me and my friend Amanda at work, since she just got her braces taken off yesterday. But her group went horseback riding, and I had to leave work early (see my most recent entry for details), so I guess it will have to be tomorrow.
Do you get invisible retainers like Perin? Or will you be getting colored ones?

Date: 2003-07-24 01:40 pm (UTC)The one thing I actually found the braces useful for was scratching my fingers--very sharp. And I did actually try that today, before I got my retainer. >.

Date: 2003-07-24 01:44 pm (UTC)Anyway, me and Katie are currently working on a European History comic strip :D So we'll address all the wives individually, I think. We're definitely doing one about the fact that there were so many of them!
I think it's funny that usually women are known, in history, for being married to someone, but Henry is known for his wives, rather than what he did. His wives and his daughter! :D ::smug smug smug::

Date: 2003-07-24 01:52 pm (UTC)I got invisi-retainers, like Perin and Katie. They're a little funky, but apparently they work!

Date: 2003-07-24 02:19 pm (UTC)Yippee!
Date: 2003-07-24 04:57 pm (UTC)Grim Fandango is fun but crazy. I just loved the music for the game, especially the Mani & Meche tango. Best played drinking sangria & munching on tacqitos. :)
My favourite 3D/2D (3D characters navigating 2D environments)adventure game though was The Longest Journey. It had just more environments, the puzzles were more intuitive and more variety in general. I don't know if you have played it yet but I recommend it.
Is Gabriel Knight strictly adventure?
Re: Yippee!
Date: 2003-07-24 06:15 pm (UTC)lol. . . we're all underage, but I'll see what I can do on the taquitos.
I have not played The Longest Journey, but it sounds good. If it's a mac game (or mac available), i can get it for myself. . . if not, i have to rely on David.
And I'm not entirely sure about video game classifications, so I'm going to refer your question to him.
YEAY!

Re: Yippee!
Date: 2003-07-25 06:57 pm (UTC)So many games, so little time before Uru comes out. :D
Re: Yippee!
Date: 2003-07-25 07:16 pm (UTC)I want the Discworld games. . . although this is one case where having a mac will save me a lot of money XD
The Gabe games are made by Sierra, and there was supposed to be a fourth Gabriel Knight game, about ghosts, but now Sierra has no adventure games department :(
