Thinking With Horror, and Maybe Portals

Tonight I wandered down the realm of Science, you monsters!Made it most of the way through my accumulated collection of Portal 2 Horror Maps! Some involving murderous mannequins, escape rooms, and a PT inspired level!

One of the maps I downloaded is called Chell Comits Tax Fraud aka the Portal equivalent of PT. In fact there wasn’t much in the way of using Portals tonight. Most of the maps I played were basically walking simulators, or if The Stanley Parable had a horror bend to it.

Another fun map that I played was Basement Horrors. When it originally launched the map was able to shuffle itself in such a way to randomize your experience on each run. Though that mechanic is broken now, it is still playable to the end.

Though that mechanic is broken now, it is still playable to the end. It’s still quite easy to die if you’re not careful, but as you die each time it becomes more like a memory game. Kinda like Simon, if Simon was a murderous game.

Now I can properly declare my horror scratch to be officially itched for tonight! Now to rest and contemplate the next adventure…

The Demonic Purging Will Continue Until Morale Improves

Tonight was another fun evening of playing badass girls in dresses, only tonight it was a Metroidvania kind of evening! I made it through Stage 3, it was actually easier than the previous stage and I made another friend!

So far I’ve done well keeping to my Spooktober themed collection of demons and monsters. I already have a preview of what the next area is going to look like:

It looks like I’ll have some gardening to tend to the next time I return. 🙂 I’m thinking of doing some Science tomorrow night. I still have some Portal 2 Halloween maps I want to play through!

A Whole Other Wonderland

Alice arrives in wonderland.

I never played any of American McGee’s Alice games, and that changed this evening! I never bothered making an EA/Origin account, and didn’t feel like doing so. But several years later when EA returned to Steam and a few sales later I ended up getting it, but never got around to playing it until now. It released in 2011 but the graphics hold up really well!

ALL ABOARD!!!!

I also installed it onto my Steam Deck! Unfortunately it doesn’t offer cloud saves, which means unless I manually update my saves in between my systems I’ll have to play two separate saves. Other than that it runs really well on a hand held, controls and all.

Food/Drink

Baked Baking!

An egg bake consisting of egg, arborio rice, broccoli, toasted onion, cheddar, parmesan, and a little bit of garlic with some parsley and basil.
Cheddar Broccoli Egg Bake

It’s been awhile since I’ve made a food related post, hasn’t it? Every weekend I do myself a solid and make myself a fine breakfast/brunch since I don’t really do breakfast during the work week. We’re in autumn now, which means cooler weather and an opportunity to make use of the oven! The nice thing about egg bakes is being able to mix your fave ingredients/ pouring them into a bowl and letting the oven do it’s job! I was originally going to make an Italian Broccoli Oven Fritatta, but forgot a couple ingredients. Fortunately I have plenty of other ingredients to not only improvise, but make my own tasty abomination! You can adjust the ingredients to your liking, but this is what went into mine:

  • 5 Eggs
  • Cooking Oil
  • 1 Packet of frozen broccoli (chopped)
  • 1 Cup of cooked rice
  • 1/2 Cup of toasted onion
  • 2 Small garlic cloves, or 1 big ass garlic clove finely chopped
  • 1 Cup of grated cheddar cheese
  • 2 Tbsp of grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tbsp of parsley
  • 1 Tsp of basil
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Beat eggs until well combined. Mix in herbs, cheeses and milk. Set aside.

In a medium sized frying pan place enough oil in the pan to lightly coat the entire surface and set over medium heat. Cook the onion until translucent, unless you want them to be caramelized – remember to stir frequently! Add broccoli. Stir frequently and cook until tender, then add garlic and fry for about 30 to 45 seconds. Mix into egg mixture until well combined. Grease a baking dish with butter, or cooking spray and then pour the egg mixture into the dish. Bake at 350F (176C) for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for five minutes. Serve with a salad or some toast.

SPAAAAAAACE!!!!

The 30 seconds of video I commented about in yesterday’s post magically turned into a bout 30 minutes! There should be a few videos I can make from that, one of them being a special kill compilation of my magical blade in action! I had fun revisiting this recording, it was one of my all time favorite streams! So much happened in five hours, and at least a fraction of it might be worth looking at! It took me pretty much the entire evening to sift through it, enough that I’ll revisit it on another day. I think I’ll take a break from making goofy shit to focus on other goofy shit – have to keep it versatile or things go stale.

Hell Is Always Hiring

Come in for some flamin’ hawt burgs.

Finally have all my puzzle pieces in order for when I put the video together! That can be done another night though, the rest of tonight is chill time. I’m thinking tomorrow of delving into some Skyrim footage, see if I can turn five hours worth of footage into 30 seconds of nonsense.

All in an Overlord's day / Hobbies

Cozy as Hell

Chill Mode Engaged

I’ll be taking a break from video releases for the rest of the month to focus on my other projects. There will be a couple videos releasing next month, though they’ll be gameplay shorts. I spent part of the evening animating something a little less peaceful than the image above.

The Karen Makyr

I did make a little progress in DOOM Eternal tonight; defeated the Kahn Makyr (not to be confused with the Karen Makyr) and now I’m making my way to the Icon of Sin. It was a nice, therapeutic run.

I’ve Been Given The Bird

I somehow managed to get past Chapter 11 during lunch… with a couple minutes to spare! Maybe I play better when I’m timed? Either way I got a couple of achievements, and I just finished up another chapter! I have Goffik Flappy Bird Power to work with now!

I’m three levels away from reaching the end! That will have to wait for another night.  I’ve been grinding this game out the last few nights… time for something else.
