Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Game Review/Commentary 56

[madimpossibledreamer]

Well, I’m back.  Hello, it’s been a while.  Old friend.  So. 

Not much, just a bunch of classwork.  Not sure what else to say, really. 

I’ve been wanting to play Devil May Cry 5 a lot, really, but.  (Same.)  I didn’t get it on Steam.  I got it on a system I do not yet own.  So.  There’s a good reason for that.  I wanted a physical copy.  Because I figured that was probably a better idea.  (Technically, you only sort of own games through Steam.  Like stupid Nook books, it might require a re-‘yes I purchased this’ at some point or something.  But on the other hand, my financial situation is such I can’t get a PS4 yet.)  But.  It has repurcussions as well.  So. 

There is that.  We are updating Steam. 

I am currently attempting to get my intro music together. 

Yeah, I’ve been doing quite a lot of homework, so this is a nice break, assuming it doesn’t take forever to Steam. 

I made some Madras curry.  Which turned out okay.  The meat wasn’t fully cooked, but ehhh, what can you do really?  (Besides microwave it to death.) 

I did actually finish writing my chapter of Shadowed Suspicion for tonight, which is good. 

I don’t know if I’ll actually add this, if I’ll actually mention—if I’ll copy it out when I copy it out, but we’ll see.  I dunno.  (I am.  Hello!  *waves to past-self and audience*

I also don’t know if I’ll keep myself spoiler-free for Bayonetta.  (Oh yeah, that was coming out this year, wasn’t it?  …Oh, huh, it got moved to a TBA.  Hopefully that’s because the team is giving it the love and attention it needs to be an awesome game.)  Because Bayonetta is kind of one of those games where even if you know everything that is going on, it still makes no sense.  (So it doesn’t matter if you spoil.)  And it’s not one of those ones that I feel a super-need to stay spoiler-free, so I probably won’t.  But we’ll see.  I’m guessing I probably won’t. 

Did I have it on my wishlist?  If not, I’ll update these. 

Let’s see, what else?  I kind of haven’t been able to game, er, not game, apply for jobs recently.  But getting through this class with a good grade is probably more important at this point in time.  (And hey, past!self, I recently passed the national exam!  Still waiting on that certificate to come in the mail though.) 

What else can I say?  I’m really liking this, as we’re getting toward the end.  Though I managed to miss two of the really important cutscenes to the entire story so far, so we’ll see. 

Come on…come on, stop playing.  Stop playing; it’s time for the ‘stream’ to start now…could you please stop?  I…it broke.  It borked.  Help, I broke the internet.  (Oh, I can blame all the times the wifi’s going out the last couple days on you.  I see.)  Could you stop? 

Help.  I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not.  I’m kind of scared.  I’ll try.  I’ll assume that it stopped playing and try to go back to the game and we’ll see what happens. 

Nooo.   Come on.  Is anything actually working?  Did I break everything? 

We’ll see what happens when I do that.  I guess I saw that coming.  There we go.  Come on. 

Haha.  My controller is still working. 

Oh yeah, I’m stuck in prison.  Right. 

Take that, barrel.  You stood in my way for the last time. 

Oh, where…Oh, yeah, water’s right here. 

(gathering sands) That was…right.  And by right, I mean right bumper.  Or, right, R2.  It’s R2 in this system. 

Right, wrong one?  …Oh, yeah, it’s…triangle.  Because it’s that button.

I will have entirely forgotten how to play.  That’s great. 

Hey, I did some sort of weird move.  It’s some sort of weird twisty move.  Ahaa. 

Oh, for goodness’ sake.  Can you pick up your step, please, because I’m not sure…I’m not sure how long this stays open.  How do I get there in time? 

…Thanks, music.  (It played for two seconds and then cut out.) 

Do I have to…?  *gasps* OH, maybe…hang on.  Maybe I block the door from closing? 

I’m not going to get there in time.  I can put this under there, probably. 

This music is weird, Prince.  It only exists on that side of the room. 

Come on, run as fast as you…what is the slow down…I think I may have to slow down time.  How do I slow down time?  Internet, help me, I have yet to slow down time.  (At least, on purpose.)  I rarely actually pull it off correctly. 

Oh, you’re playing music again, aren’t you?  How dare. 

I’m experiencing interruptions because this is a tool.  (I think I mean it in the insulting way.)  Firefox, stop failing me. 

Was that—was that actually where the music was coming from, and why it was only existing on one side of the room?

Edge, I hate using you but also, this is just being dumb.  That actually might have been even better.  Actually, um.  Do we have Chrome installed?  It does not actually appear like it. 

Wait, no.  ‘Cause I still have the—I might have to look it up again, honestly.  Let’s see…history…there we go. 

I’m scared to turn the music back on, tbh.  For fear it will do something dumb.  (Like not stop when I tell it to.) 

See, it was happening…Ohh, I am dumb.  We have this lovely crate.  Why don’t we try putting it underneath the door instead of dragging it all the way to the button.  If I knew what I was doing last time and I was supposed to put it there, I am so dumb.  (It’s even worse because I mentioned putting a box under the door earlier…)

Also I have no idea what kind of bones these are.  Because these are clearly not human bones.  They are longer than the Prince’s entire leg. 

See, I…will revel in my stupidity for a while.  Probably. 

Oh, boy.  Let’s see. 

I’m going to practice hitting things for a bit because I am terrified I am going to fail.
