Chzo Mythos Review

This is a review of four games that form the basis of the Chzo Mythos, otherwise known as the John DeFoe Quadrilogy, which were created by Ben ‘Yahtzee’ Croshaw. (Yes, that guy.) In playing order, the games are Five Days A Stranger, Seven Days A Skeptic, Trilby’s Notes and Six Days A Sacrifice. I’m not well informed as to how famous these are, so it’s possible you’ve heard of them, you’ve never heard of them or you’re shocked I would even insinuate that someone might not know of their majesty. If you’re the latter kind, I apologise. For everyone else, let’s move on.

A Game of Thrones Review

I’ve decided to put this tumblr to use and start reviewing stuff, because there’s nothing quite as fun as talking about your views uninterrupted for as many words as you care to write.

First up is A Game of Thrones, the first book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin. You’ve probably heard of it.

And what they say is true: this book is nothing short of excellent.

a game of thrones, review, book,

I never post anything here so here is something terrible.

I was mulling on revamping an original character and I was thinking how dragons with jetpacks are freaking awesome. The conclusion is inevitable.

Well, the “dragon” in question is more of a motorcycle now. Haa.

I imagine he lives in fantasy Mad Max now.

Motorcycles are cool. But dragon jetpack motorcycles win all the awards, no questions asked.

Clicking on the Shimenji file after extracting does nothing.

My despair is absolute. ;n;

hello! do you have these files in the conf folder, but named with weird symbols instead:

if so, you need to rename them with the proper japanese characters for the shimeji to work! they are

動作 and 行動

動作 is the largest file, it should be about 57 Ko

hope that helps!

Thank you! It’s working perfectly now. :D

ok i’ve been working on this for three days. i’m hungry. the neoboards aren’t working. and testing this is a PAIN. with that said, i’m pretty excited to introduce you to:

THE SAM SHIMEJI!!!!!!

i bet you’ve all dreamed to have an army of sam (THE SAM CORPORATION) roaming all over your computer screen. i know i have. which is why i did this.

a few notes about the shimeji:

most of the frames are random, so i have no idea if you’ll see all of them. probably not. that made them really hard to test so if some of them come out a bit wonky, i apologize. (i know the sitting with golf club one is positioned weird but i don’t know how to mess with the coding and i can’t edit it anymore than i already did. :( also it doesn’t always show up properly for some reason.)

this shimeji is bigger than most (shimeji are 128px while this one is 200px) so it miiiiight clog up your screen pretty fast. it’s the kind of shimeji that multiplies so be prepared for an invasion. (they love to climb. i think they’re trying to escape.)

i feel like i should say that some of the frames contain spoilers. (you’ll know what i mean once you see them.)

can you actually believe this took me three days? because it took me three days.

general information stuff/how to use/whatever:

click on the Shimeji file. this one: this will launch the shimeji, who’s going to fall down your screen.

once the shimeji is launched, if you click on the icon on your taskbar, you will see a menu in japanese. i wanted to use the english version but it wouldn’t work, weh. here’s what it says:

add one- this will make a new shimeji appear the same way as the first one did, ie falling from the screen instead of one of the shimeji already there multiplicating itself.

come here- the shimeji will follow you and then stay there. some special actions can be triggered this way.

leave one left- pretty self-explanatory.

bring my window back- ok, this has never happened to me but apparently shimeji can take your minimized windows away from you. this is the option to get them back. (they can’t do anything to enlarged windows. on the screenshot you should see a bunch of them standing on my minimized chrome.)

bye bye- this will exit the program and make all the shimeji disappear.

i…think that’s it.

i hope you like it! i know i enjoyed making it even though it took a while and was really hard to test… i…don’t think i will be making any more for now ahjdajafkj.

also bonus picture:
