Played the tutorial/first chapter to find out how the controls work this game and managed to only get shot once. I am delighted by how very spiteful that ghost was.
Trying to find all the fun things I can search on Rosangela’s phone and I still love the name Rosangela.
Oh god a serial killer episode. But then again, this is my first Maigret serial killer. I look forward to finding out how the French are all degenerates in this one.
I watch with subtitles on so I wish to share that the opening music was, according to them, ‘swanky’.
Music later on: “moves into nuanced, intriguing music”
Summarized interaction:
Maigret: You seem very upset. Do you want to go the bar?
Lady Cop: Oh no I don’t drink. Gimme a cigarette.
17 minutes in: Oh my god, the killer might be English! I hope his accent is perfect Parisian.
21 minutes in: Nevermind.
29 minutes in: My son couldn’t be a killer, look at this childhood photo *proceeds to show picture of absolutely evil looking child*
31 minutes in: okay it appears today’s French degeneracy is mouth-kissing your son.
41 minutes in: Cigs cigs cigs. I miss smoking and that is the dumbest possible emotion to have. Also an Oedipal hellscape in progress.
45 minutes in: Subtle, intense, orchestral music, say the subtitles.
This was MUCH better than a CSI serial killer episode. Nice. Nice.
A Lucy Lawless murder show! This hole was made for me!
Today’s episode of CSI is about gubbermint conspiracies and once again reminds me that as fun as CSI is to watch, it’s absolutely a stupid person’s idea of a clever mystery show.
So everyone is ACTING and they actually uttered the name Millander. Absolutely fucking cursed. Like screaming MacBeth in a theatre after wishing everyone good luck.
So Previously On CSI they’ve gotten so busy layering on the mysteries that the episodes run out of time and they just sort of standing around explaining the mystery summary style, then the episode ended. I thought they were gonna do it again this time but they’re actually using emotions in their voices.
This episode’s killer is a Slightly Inept Murder Wizard.
Oh neat though, John de Lancie is in this. James Callis is too and I’m amazed how one man can always look one second away from body-wracking sobs.
This episode is still stupid.
Oh boy! So Ms. Gray has been accused of MURDER (that’s us, the protagonist!) and we must see if we really did it or not! Now you finally get to see what HER house is like after seeing the weird houses of her family and no surprise, it’s also full of weird locks and puzzles. Every day must be an adventure to get the coffee creamer.
I’m also periodically being haunted by the murder victim which is awesome. Not sarcasm! I love the scares! This is really fun so far!
I quit when I got tired but so far I’m intrigued to find out if I really shanked a guy. And why.
Secret Wars, Chapter 1: Arrival
Madame Webb brings Spider-Man to meet her master, The Beyonder, who is preparing to put Spider-Man to the ultimate test. He sends Dr. Octopus, Dr. Doom, Smythe, Red Skull, and the Lizard off to destroy a peaceful planet and leaves Spider-Man to save it with his own selective team.
New storyline! Spider-Man in SPACE. I am interested that they went with ‘super assholes’ for Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm’s personality templates (Peter was like ‘I’ll just take the entire fantastic four for my team’), but there you go.
But who amongst us hasn’t needed a brief vacation of cosmic war between good and evil to recover from our wife evaporating in front of us?
It occurs to me that… maybe the Fantastic Four had a cartoon going on at this time? I know Iron Man did. So did Storm.
Good moments with the Lizard with Doc Connors’ mind in this. I like a thoughtful lizard man.
What a compelling, fascinating game whose camera controls make me so motion sick I have to lie down after a thirty minute session.
Anyway I’m really enjoying this and hope to eventually finish it without throwing up. I got my first three fates correct and then the next chapter is like ‘hmm. That’s an unexpected amount of tentacles’
“Your wife is a clone, she’s made of water, she’s evaporating, you have two seconds make it count.”
And other fun ways to fuck with Peter Parker.
Mostly what I felt throughout reading this book was that it felt like a really solid episode of the show.
And that Scorpia is a treasure.
Unicorn of Many Hats
Solid, solid. Unicorn remains well drawn.

Another graphic novel! This time it’s about friendship and drama camp and drama and it involves seeing Marigold’s sister who has thankfully found a nasal spray that makes her stop snorting out spiders. I appreciated that detail a lot.
I always like the little vocab guides at the end in a ‘oh maybe I’ll learn words betterer’ kind of nerdlinger way.
