janestarzThursday was fun. I'd eloped my duties and played on my Windows Partition. I must say Dark Forces (old DOS-based Star Wars game) was funny, though a little fuzzy. I hate the letters/font in that game though. Bright green and hardly being able to be read is not a good thing for a mission briefing to be.
Anyway. It got me in the mood for some more first person shooter games with gore, suspense and stuff. I must say I'm a big fan of games, especially the simulations. I'm also very anti-mouse games. If you have to use a mouse to play a game, I'll get a sore arm again. That RSI I cought in the first two years of my study will probably not go away any time soon, if ever. It's very annoying, I can tell you that. Don't mess with Repetitive Strain Injury, people.
Thursdaynight I had D&D, at JW's. I cooked a typical Dutch delicacy which NoKey hates (zuurkool, it's white cabbage in vinegar/sour stuff, boiled 'einztopfgericht' (that's german) or 'stamppot' (that's dutch) with potatoes). I fried bacon with it and relished the first zuurkool I've eaten this winter. *sigh*
Only Sunshine came over for the session, and I must say I'm quite disappointed not to be able to play with the other two players more often. Cona the barbarian misses some sessions, and Melvin our friendly halfling is hardly ever present. Aaanyway, the halfling had been eating from our travel-supplies again and replaced a piece of bread with a stone. When we confronted him, my elf cleric got a little mad and stuff escalated. Mariel (my char) hit him over the head with her staff. Sad thing was that I rolled a critical (20) on the attack. So I did 2 d6 damage, instead of 1 d6. And I, ofcourse, being on a roll as I was, had the luck to end up with two sixes on that roll. I almost killed him.
Mariel was shocked, fainted, healed him, and then got into a fight with her Goddess. Big drama ensued. In the end Mariel was absolved, and though she felt a little better, she was still sniffing. Sunshine, the ranger that she has this whole love/hate thing going on with, put his arm around her and then more drama ensued, i.e. she falling crying into his arms and sobbing frantically for a long time.
Then the friday. Malor and Steelweaver came over for sewing and that was good. I had to make the same pair of pants for Voltar as Malor was going to make for himself, so we worked alongside and listened to Neil Gaiman's audiobook "Coraline". Twilight came over at the end of the afternoon too, to pick up his girlfriend (this being Steelweaver, for the sick minds in the flist). Malor left simultaneously, leaving some of the munchies he'd bought behind for us.
I was in the mood for simple, easy, swift food. Preferrably salt. I decided against french fries from the local snackbar, and NoKey and I went over to the shoarma joint and I picked up a mixed grill which will last me two days. We rented "The Whole Ten Yards" and were amazed at the movie. It was confusing and good. Funny too. I liked Nicholas Ozeransky (Matthew Perry's character) better in The Whole Nine Yards, he was more frustrated and funnier. NoKey munched potato-zuccini dish and I ate my mixed grill with french fries. Yummm.
After dinner NoKey made the installation for The Ultimate Doom, I think that's Doom 2. ID software made the game playable on DOS, Windows and Linux, for which I am very grateful. How shooting big bulging blobs of beast into fetid frenzied fermenting pieces of flesh can be so much fun, I'll probably never know.
I'm not ashamed to say I fancy the shotgun for up close (see me burst into rooms without being cautious, run upto the imp, and blow his entrails all over the wall here *smirk*) and the plasma gun for the floating burning skulls. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised there was a new enemy in the game, also dressed in green just like the other guards with guns and shotguns, and I readily shot him (cries of rage ensued, for I had shot NoKey). And that was in cooperative mode. Well, I just say he shouldn't have obsessed over finding all the secrets in the level. It's about gore and goo, dude. Read more Calvin and Hobbes. *grin*
We stopped playing Doom around 3.30 am, which was a first for us too. But man, that was good.

Date: 2005-03-26 05:01 am (UTC)The sour liquid zuurkool comes in is it's own fermented juices. You basically just clean the cabbage, chop it into pieces, bruise it up, add salt and some kernels of pepper, and then compress it until the juice comes out, and leave it to ferment for about four days to a week.
