Wow wow wow, long time no see ... It's been OVER A MONTH since I last wrote, and actually not that much has happened. Sorry. I'll start with current times and go backwards. I've taken a break from every game I was previously playing and got suddenly and randomly very addicted to Roblox this past month. I really can't explain it, I don't know what happened. I've been playing the game since I was 8, but I always treated it sort of like a party game and just played it with my friends. But, this past month I've just been hopping from Roblox game to Roblox game playing in my free time. (Of course I get back into Roblox when all the terrible updates are rolling out lol) There's actually some wonderful gems through all the dookie smears XD ... My current favorites are Bad Things, Phighting, Block Tales, and Die of Death. I haven't played much of Block Tales quite yet, but it's extremely fun from what I have played and I'm quite excited to see more of it :D Bad Things was the first game I got really into, and it's honestly an outlier to the usual way Psychological Horror ends up being on Roblox. I mean, Bad Things does have a lot of the classic tropes seen in Roblox Psychological Horror, but it's actually really well written and pays such a good homage to Mouthwashing and The Beginner's Guide. I kept thinking about those two games while playing, in a good way XD!!!

One thing I'm not the biggest fan of, though, is the new update where scenes 1, 11, and 13 were changed. I really don't think they should've been altered like that, especially with the dialogue added to the beginning of scene 1. It sort of shoves subtext that was already within the game to the forefront, especially saying that Ivan was a bad friend immediately as you begin the game. I feel as if, at the beginning, there's sort of this mystery on who is doing the "bad things" or if there's a single person at fault at all, and a lot of people are going to assume it's Andrew at first without knowing the full context on what Andrew's game means to him and how Ivan truly is. I just think any update that removes something that never hurt the game in the first place is not a good call, the whole "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy XD ... The new scenes are okay, I would be more of a fan if it wasn't for the beginning dialogue, I just don't feel like anything was wrong with the original scenes nor do I think the new scenes add anything to the game that wasn't already able to be deduced. Scene 11 specifically is a good insight into Ivan's abuse against Andrew, but it was something we could've already assumed was happening based off context clues throughout the game, and I liked it more when it was like that. To make good horror, some things are better left up to the imagination, y'know?

Anyways, the next Roblox addiction after Bad Things is Die of Death. When I was first playing, I didn't have a mouse and was playing with a trackpad, so the first time I got killer was actually the most humiliating moment of my life cause I couldn't hit anyone and move my camera at the same time. I just stood there while everyone played in my face. I slipped on a banana peel. I've never been more grateful to not be able to see Roblox chat than in that moment. I was playing with my bros too. They witnessed this. Killian was laughing at me the entire time as I was screaming "THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING!!!!!!" ... It haunts me. Anyways, I've very recently, within the past few days, have gotten into Phighting and I actually can't believe this is just a free game on Roblox I can pull up anytime. I've been playing Banhammer after realizing my aim is actually buns and I need to stick with melee characters, and I think I've been doing pretty alright...? I didn't like it at first cause of how confused I was, but pretty quickly I got into it and played for like 2 hours the first night lol. My favorite match was this 2v2 I had with a Shuriken. We completely smoked red team :P I swear. Something exploded outside while I was playing also. I remember that. Still don't know what that was.

Other Roblox things I've been quite into is Hello John Doe and Brandon Works. Excellent little pieces of Roblox media, I suggest them wholeheartedly ... The last scene in Brandon Works is so wonderfully written, I keep rewatching it. The "Ozo, is that you?" line is perfectly executed, it's actually just peak Roblox arg/webseries. Brandon Works kind of has the same sauce Bad Things does in that it has a lot of classic tropes found in other Roblox args/webseries, but it's so perfectly executed that it's just the most golden example in its genre. Anyways, ENOUGH ABOUT ROBLOX!!! My birthday was this past December, and it was quite awesomeness. I played a gay anime game with my bros that was quite chucklesome, and my mom made me a wonderful Deltarune party hat, as seen below.

Deltarune Chapter 5 comes out this year, lest I forget. Some new arg things were floating around about Noelle smiling, I can only wonder what it all means. Anyways, also this past December I got back to playing Metal Gear Solid and beat MGS4, I remember the ending made me tear up. I actually quite liked Akiba and Meryl's relationship, I thought it was sweet, but everyone is apparently a hater about it. Everything I love, people hate!!! Don't trust my taste, please!!! XD ... I really liked all the 4th wall breaks and call backs to MGS1 as well, the part where you play the Shadow Moses flashback actually just knocked my socks clean off. After I beat MGS4, I started up MGRR and have yet to beat it because of ... Roblox ... Lol ... I'll get back to it, I swear. But, I remember I was actually so buns at the game before I learned how to parry that I was getting embarrassed even known I was alone in my room. It was that bad. It's been a whole month since I last played, so I probably am back to square 1 T_T ... I thought people were kidding when they called it a meme game, so when the meme monologue came up I actually just busted out laughing so hard. It's just great. So camp. Love all the character designs. When I saw Mistral for the first time I was like: "Wow, what's Lucia doing here ...?" Anyways, I remember the eliminate all enemies on the elevator immediately before the double Monsoon and Mistral fight made me want to kill myself. I'm actually still stuck on the double fight. LOL.

Anyways, *wipes sweat from my forehead* GOOD TO BE BACK! Lol watch me be gone for longer. Um. I can't promise anything O_O ... One last thing before I log off, I saw this really cool looking game called Copper Odyssey 2. Check it out. It's a sequel, so check out the first one too O3O ... I need to play both!
