roadrunnertwiceI uninstalled Cave Story at the end of last week, aaaaaaand so now I'm kind of, uh. *TWITCH*
See, my sort of digital cigarette break had been to boot up Cave Story and scum back and forth in the falling rocks room with just the Fireball or the Bubbler and see how long I could stay alive, which made for a neat little blend of frenzy and meditation. Except I eventually got to where I could stay alive for 20 minutes on one go, which, times a couple breaks in a day, made for entirely too much time to be spending on a game I was already totally done with.
So I figured if I had that much time to drop on a game, I should spend it on something that I've actually been meaning to play through! Vast untapped resource of time with which to do cool stuff, right? Which would also have the added bonus of giving me something new to talk about with people, whereas there is really no way to bring up the new method you discovered for clearing the chasers at the mid-way hole trap in even the nerdiest conversation.)
All fine and well. Yup. Did I mention that digital cigarette breaks have at least one remarkable similarity to real cigarette breaks? *TWITCH*
