Post what you're doing right now

[Collective Foal]

Contemplating how I'm going to spend my last day of summer. I was thinking some journey of absolute epicness and fun, but it's pouring out right now, so maybe later.

 

Hey, anybody else wanna go rain dancing with me?

[Alyxx Thorne]

Playing MOTHER again. Oh GOD I'm a CHILD again!

Okay, so I've discovered something strange about caffeine with me. If I close my eyes after drinking a lot of caffeine, but for a long time, like I'm trying to go to sleep, I go into a state of literal daydreaming. I am having a full-on dream, because it's vivid and I don't have control of it and time seems to pass more quickly, but I'm still awake. I'm still alert of who is around me and the noises going on. It's really weird and really cool, because I think it might actually be restful as well. After 2 and a half hours of doing this on and off, I fell much better rested. I need to look further into this...

Well, the myth that caffeine makes you more awake is a bit of a... myth. In fact, it actually stimulates your brain and makes you more focused and concentrated. That could explain why it makes daydreaming so easy for you.

Just found about people giving guitar lessons via Skype...So, now i'm curious if people teach anything else in a similar manner. (i've looked up a multitude of things already, pretty much anything that doesn't need to be taught 'hands on' has someone who teaches via skype.)

[Collective Foal]

Alyxx, I cant entirely agree with that. Caffeine makes me hyper as fuck, and unless there's something to focus on, I'm awake, alert, and all over the place. It makes me less tired, that's for certain...

What you experienced is result of your body being awake but your mind enters REM sleep (dreaming) I too have experienced this several times, it is also a form of meditation.

[Scorpia]

I'm being in one of those irreversible 'fuck the world' moods. like from the moment i woke up this day was set up to piss me off by the end of it...

[Chuckthe2nd]

Technically, all that caffeine does is temporarily disable the part of your brain that tells you that you're tired. Just saying.

Yeah it's different from person to person, I believe.

Sweet, just got a Beta invite for Smite.

[J.C.]

I'm at work, remotely connected to my PC at home, and just now, I purchased and began downloading the Leviathan DLC for Mass Effect 3.

 

When I get home this afternoon, it's on.

[Kirkreng]

Went to the cinema today to see Ice Age 4. With a girl.

I am being oddly social lately. I'm not sure if I like it.

You too, huh ?

[Alyxx Thorne]

I just played Slender and OH BOY is this game overrated and overhyped.

 

One: It's tediously boring since you spend most of the early parts of the game dicking around, looking for pages and you can't see shit without your flashlight, which runs out of battery eventually. And this is all you do, looking for pages. No plot, no characters, no story, no nothing, just you, going around, looking at badly drawn pages about some paranormal creature and gathering them. The game does pick up once you get the first page and as you get more pages it gets more intense but man... those first minutes are just downright a snorefest.

 

Two: The graphics are horrible. The darkness thing seems to just be there to cover up the fact they suck. I mean, I played for a while and eventually found that some things even lacked texture. I know this is a beta game and ripping on the textures isn't fair but it really ruined the immersion for me. A lot of things seem just bland and boring and lacked anything that could help add some atmosphere to the game.

 

So yeah, I hope this game becomes better over time. It's okay right now and it did get a scare out of me but... it's more fun watching the reaction videos to this game than actually playing it.

 

I'll say this though, it does make a good job at giving you jumpscares. And at least it's not as tedious as Amnesia.

[Kirkreng]

That is exactly the problem I have with the game. It lacks any kind of substance. It is nothing beyond the concept of the Slenderman(which itself isn't even original) with a nonsensical fetch quest added on to it.

 

OT: I just got out of my sauna and gonna go to bed. Good night.

My cousin has my copy so I bought it in preparation for the event.

 

So when I get that game back, it's on.

Yeah, totally. It feels very thin. Although I'll admit the Slenderman can get a good jumpscare out of me so they got that part right. But the game is just boring otherwise. Like you say, it lacks substance.

[Collective Foal]

Alyxx and Kirk, the plot of the game is ENTIRELY in outside culture and backstory. Do this for me. Go to Youtube and type in Marble Hornets. Watch that series (the first is titled Entry #1) and prepare to be afraid of the dark again. That is the msjority of the Slenderman's backstory and origins. NOW play slender and you'll start to see what makes it so terrifying.
