The NotHappyDawg here. VeryNotHappyDawg.

OK, As I posted last night, a friend (known on the board here as Bourbon) came over last night so we could update his machine. He just got a new uberbox, and wants to optimize his old one to use as an extra in LAN games, (for those who don't have a box). So, last night was a techfest here, eating dinner, watching LadyHawk and SouthPark, Bigger, Longer, & Uncut. It was nearly 3am when we shut down. Didn't make any progress in the game.

Today's been a lazy day. Cleaning up around here, mainly. As I was preparing to play, I was composing the next episode of The Chronicles of RudeDawg the Lonely. I already have it all planned, but I just wanted to finish the Serpent Temple. (Don't worry, I have done a lot besides that.)

I sit down to play. Oh, what fun. Chasing a monkey. Trial and error with doors and levers. Fighting many spiders and snakes. (It took awhile to figure out that I was supposed to use an empty flask to catch the egg-juice. Then, I see that the grate is called "flask-grate" DOH!) FINALLY, I find my way to the alter thing, and read my journal. It talks about the book. I read someone here writing about the library, so I do some more wandering. Find it. Use the statues. get the wand. get the book. (I grabbed the statues again. Do I need them? As a soloist, invetory space is at a premium.)

I decide to save before I perform the ceremony. The phone rings.

It's a friend asking me if the storm has hit over here. I leave my machine at the save screen, and step onto the balcony to look. It was just coming in. We talked as I watched the lightning.

Then the lights went out.

I was at the save screen. One button away from safety. TWO hours from my last save.

I'm an idiot. Procede with the insults and jeers.
