Now that my hubby & I have gotten the 'full' creature creator for the Spore game, our careless hands have been hard at work creating all kinds of creatures. The displacer beast has to be among my favorites right now. I didn't want to be shown up, so I've made us a kobold. Put a spear in one hand, an iPod in the other, & a Walmart vest on him.... and he'd fit right in with the other Kommandos!
So I've been horribly remiss in my duties as a writer. Blame my hubby. He bought me Overlord last week and I haven't been able to put it down. OMGPONIES!!!11 This game is SO MUCH FUN!! It's like Kobolds on crack... I keep looking for a Starbuck to raid.
I promise to get back to writing (interspersing it with healthy Overlord doses). But since I've been a disappointing author for a while - here's a little Overlord fun to at least distract you while I make my getaway, er, I mean, while I go be responsible and write.
Diary of Teh Overlord
Day 0: I just got an exciting new job opportunity! It's a supervisory position with lots of neat perks. I get my own tower - though it's going to be a fixer-upper by the looks of things. I have a special adviser with lots of experience managing all these guys who will be helping me with the finer point - he does look a little old though, I hope he doesn't just keel over in the middle of the first day.
Day 1: I am Teh Overlord! They started me working with the little brown minions today. Holy crap, these guys are freaking kleptos! If they can pick it up and use it, they will. I swear they... hold on a sec.... Damn buggers got into the kitchen again. I'm going to run out of can openers and rolling pins soon.
Day 2: I learned a new lesson today. They love sheep. Seriously. Yeah, they play rough and I often have to go find another flock for them, but it's worth at least a few minutes distraction for me so I can take a breather from walking around in full armor. Jeez, who designed the uniforms for overlords? Not conducive to lots of traveling, I'll tell you that.
Day 3: We totally raided a bunch of hobbit, er, I mean, halfling houses today. My old D&D buddies would be so jealous! It was totally like the LotR movies. Only better, because there's no emo heroes. Just lots of minions breaking things.
Day 4: They let me try my hand at working with the red minions. Little firestarters are always blowing stuff up. And they all have the worst smoker's cough I've ever heard. Oh crap! What if one of them explodes or something in a non-combat situation? Are we covered for that? I better ask the old guy. While I'm on it, I should see if we offer any kind of health insurance for all the coughing.
