Spooky Computer Games~ Round 2

Well I've received the latest variation of the plague from my peers at school so it seems I'm stuck home for a while. I'm a little disappointed because I was getting together with some friends to have a Halloween themed movie night. We were going to watch Beetlejuice, Alien, and the VHS I found the other day of Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School. That movie was my childhood...

Anyway! Since I'm bedridden I've been on my computer a whole lot and have been looking around for more 'spooky' games to pass the time with. So in the spirit of Halloween let me present...

1) Slender

If anyone reading this has never heard about Slenderman I advise you look him up. He started out as an entry in a photo-editing contest and has evolved into an insanely popular meme on the internet with his own detailed mythos. The goal of this game is simple. Find all of the notes hidden around this dark forest without Slenderman catching you. If you look at him for too long you'll go insane and lose. If he catches you you'll obviously lose. Basically, you need to always be going in the opposite direction as him, but he has a bad habit of spawning nearby. Not to mention, every time you find a note he hunts you more relentlessly. The game is mostly open, yet strangely claustrophobic at the same time. (Wait till you get to the indoor note) and the eerie atmosphere and sound of your own heartbeat induces some pretty major paranoia.

Is the Slenderman himself in this scary? No, the graphic are pretty bad, but the overall design of the game has managed to freak me out on several occasions. (He normally sneaks up on me. Not to mention sometimes you only see his foot sticking out from behind a tree...) There's also a replica called Slenderman's Shadow or something like that. The graphics are better and the enclosed maps(Sanatorium and Hospice are the two I know) are creepier even if it's a copycat game ^^

You can play Slender here.

2) Amnesia: The Dark Descent

 Alright, so this one isn't free unless you pirate it or receive it from a friend, but I love it and it's terrifying so it's going on the list. It has a long, complicated storyline that I'm not going to bother to explain, but here are the basics. Being in darkness too long, witnessing unsettling events, or staring at monsters will make you lose your sanity. You cannot fight the monsters in this so you have to hide or run away. You can hide in wardrobes or barricade doors, but monsters can often break through them. And speaking of doors, some of them are push and some are pull so imagine running from a monster and guessing wrong. FYI, you can't play this on a laptop, it's impossible because of the controls.

You can buy it here

3) Death's Embrace Escape

A straightforward escape game. You click around the laboratory trying to find a cure for your infection and an escape route. There's a jump scare on a constant loop. I advise wearing headphones for the...full experience ^^

Here you go.

4) 1916- Der Unbekannte Kreig

You're alone in the trenches of WWI. Navigating the trenches is difficult enough, and then the dinosaurs arrive. Yep, a pack of raptors has broken through the frontline and now they're after you. Grab what you can and head for the nearest ladder. The battlefield will save you from the dinosaurs, but at what cost?

  
The download is here.

5) SCP: Containment Breach

This is also a lot like Slender. The graphics are worse, but it's much harder. The creature you're trying to escape from can't move if you're looking directly at it. The problem is, you have to run away from it and it can teleport basically anywhere. You also have a blink meter and the monster can move extremely fast as soon as you finally blink. The game is really hard. I don't normally get very far.

 On a final note, I need to go get some pumpkins! Those crayon pumpkins I posted about earlier are probably on the to-do list, but I saw these on Tumblr and fell in love. I guess I have another project!

Spooky Computer Games Round 1

I'm in Sweden! Yay! Which means I won't have as much time to post or respond to comments as I usually do for about 3 weeks or so. But I'll have some shorter posts popping up here and there.

I spend far too much time on the computer Far too much time. However, one of the benefits of this is discovering new games. Dark/cute-creepy/horror-ish games involving the supernatural type games!

1) The Binding of Isaac

This is a bit of an obvious choice considering how popular it's gotten lately. Isaac's mom 'hears the voice of God' demanding she sacrifice him to prove her devotion. When she goes to obey, Isaac escapes into the basement. He has to face enemies, lost siblings, his fears, and eventually his mother in order to come out alive. It's an RPG that's randomly generated and as you go through the levels you obtain objects that give Isaac strange powers. The full game is $5, but you can play a demo here.

2) Impale.

It's exactly what it sounds and looks like. You sling zombies and try to impale them on all the sharp surfaces. Hey, I'm a sucker for zombie games and it's a time killer. Here you go.


3) Deady mini-game

Voltaire collaborates with AQworlds a lot. So they got together and brought you a deady mini-game! I personally think it's a bit easy...but it's got an animated story! And Voltaire's 'When You're Evil' plays in the backround.

4) The Unfair Platformer.

 

Ok, so this one's not spooky at all. Doom Mountain and a few jello-like alien blobs are about as much as we get. And spikes. Lots of spikes. However, this game is one of my favorite things of all time so I had to add it! It's a straightforward platformer....well if you don't mind that nothing is fair and they trick you about a million times.

5) Doom Cauldron

I saved the best for last. Seriously, it's beyond entertaining. The guy had one day to put a game together and he used props and costumes from around his house. It's full of bad puns that make me giggle. Basically, you throw stuff in a cauldron and try to make stuff, your end goal being a doom knight.

Outfit Post the First + Catching up on Supernatural

Well, its been a long day. FCAT (Otherwise known as Florida Children Are Tortured) began, which essentially means we sit in a classroom for a very long time and do nothing to further our education. It's really a pointless test. It's far too easy and it doesn't really reflect much except that we can read better than when we did in the 3rd grade. When you finish your test, pretty much the only thing you can do is attempt to sleep on those uncomfortable desks. (which is a whole lot harder than some people would make it seem) Plus, you're not allowed to read.

You heard me.

Not. Allowed. To read. After you've just turned in a reading test.

It makes me want to crawl in a hole and die.

Alright, excuse the melodrama, maybe its not that bad, but still. It makes me pretty cranky.  I apologize for any future snarkiness.

Good news though! I managed to figure out my phone-connecting-to-computer issues! Now you'll be seeing my not-so-photogenic self a whole lot more!

Awww you can't really see the bow-tie on my dress T.T

Dress~ Marshalls $10
Bolero~ Bealls $5
Boots~ I actually...don't....remember? ...alright I'm lying. They are from Hot Topic. Don't sue me.
Pentagram Necklace~ Christmas gift from my lovely parents.

So yeah, first outfit post! I've hit a blogging milestone! There's a sad, sad, sense of accomplishment that comes with that actually. Hopefully more to come but I'll probably forget to take pictures a lot ^.^

So I've been meaning to watch supernatural season 7 for ages and started recording it now, even though they're halfway through. I want to watch the ones I missed online, but with the shutting down of Megavideo (Why cruel world? WHY?) it's just been to hard to find anything >.<

I ended up watching this stray episode with no knowledge of the events so far and this is what I got. More blood, more angst, and more creepy human-flesh-devouring monsters. So, entertaining as usual. The demons are up to their normal murdering ways and...

*SPOILERS*

...there are things called Leviathans now? What concerns me the most is that they don't die. They're like shape-shifters on steroids. And I hated those things. I was a little irked with the show when Dean and Sam were framed again and then faked their deaths again. I mean, how many times can you pull that off? THEN because I was missing my favorite angel I went and looked up what happened to him. Castiel, you moron, how could you? Now look at the state you're in. Also, what's up with Lucifer tailing Sam and begging like a lost puppy? Its creeping me out.

*END SPOLIERS*

That show has managed to entertain me for so long and even though the plot has pretty much run dry I still enjoy it. A few of the episodes have actually managed to creep me out. Remember the stitched up doctor? The drowned boy? The little girl with the scalpel? Or the one that actually gave me nightmares, the one with the people in the walls. (In my house that would be entirely possible...)

Doctor Benton and I? We go way back.

that whole thing was just a way of saying this show is amazing and you should watch it. Before I go, you know the angel I mentioned? Castiel?

This guy?

Well some genius on Deviantart made the most adorable game with him. It involves clothes. And the removal of them. Its actually a dress-up game. Try it. I dare you.

Here it is :)

Friday the 13th! And Jackets!

Happy Friday the 13th Everyone! :D This is gonna be a pretty short post actually because my relatives are visiting from Sweden...and I apparently need to socialize more? I'm in denial. So first things first...I bought a new jacket on Ebay. Yes, another one...you know those people that have a million pairs of shoes?

 Heh, well I'm the person that has a million jackets, and no use for them because of the intense, makeup-melting, goth-toasting heat down here. I don't really care though. Jackets are the best item of clothing in the world. (well, then there are corsets and boots and...I'll stop now...) But now I have another lovely item to add to my collection. *cue happy dance*

Here it is :3

Too bad I can't use it until next winter... *sigh*

There's also this one that I plan on buying.

Stripes! I love stripes!

Ebay is my best friend. Seriously. This is just so Beetlejuice-esque! (Because that's obviously a real word) I must have it. I just adore short jackets for some reason. Who am I kidding? I adore all kinds of jackets.

And Finally....

I would kill for this. I really would.

This beauty is found at lovechildboudoir's Etsy shop if anyone is interested. I just don't have the money. Everything in that shop is gorgeous but most of it is over my measly price limit.

On the subject of clothes, I wore a new dress to school today. None of my dresses are in "dress code" (meaning the shoulder straps must be four fingers across) so I haven't bothered. But I went shopping the other day and found a short-sleeved bolero and now I can wear them! I would put up a picture if my phone wasn't being stupid. I'll figure it out. I promise.

However at school I got a comment from a friend that made me stop in my tracks. She said that it was "weird" that I had been wearing so many skirts, and now a dress, because "Goths don't wear that. They only wear black jeans and stuff."
...
...
...
... when exactly did this happen? I didn't realize we were limited to pants. I'd obviously better go correct my wardrobe right away.

She didn't mean anything by it and I still love her to death but this lack of knowledge of the subculture sent me on a half hour long, detailed rant. She is now thoroughly educated. I'm not sure if she's thanking me. I just wonder where all these assumptions actually come from...

Anyway, a final note. I used to play a game called AQWorlds. Anyone know it? I still go on occasionally, to indulge my inner nerd, but I just don't have the time to keep up with the constant updates. However, I always tune in every Friday the 13th. Wanna know why? Voltaire does a live thing with them! So I'll be spending the night listening to his wonderful sarcastic self. This makes me very happy.  *happy dance again*

I've been re-watching Buffy again so today I'll leave you with this amusing picture :3
