(no subject)

So, let's see. Been a while since I updated, odds and ends time I guess.

• After a long life (the thing came with an HD-DVD drive) and a good run, my laptop, Quicksilver, has died. I mean totally died. I mean "the guy at the computer repair shop confirmed that I just need to get a new one" died. After some searching, I have opted to purchase this guy. I should receive it within the week. This messes up my matched theme naming a little; I already had Mercury (desktop) and Quicksilver (laptop), and I already knew I wanted my next pair to be Coyote and Roadrunner (because one is one of Teo's forms, the other is a Teo Hatoful thought experiment, and obviously there's a theme when mentioned together like that,) but since my desktop is still fine, I now have/will have ... Mercury and Roadrunner. Eh, whatever.
  
• Oh, that Hatoful roadrunner thought experiment? Yeah. I'm going to fix that up a bit and make a more official post here/on FA/wherever instead of just having to link to some buried comment in xaq's journal every time, but I need to finish replaying BBL to research the story points and such. I pretty much already know how Teo fits into the BBL route, but I just want to double-check everything so I'm not getting scenes out of order or anything. Also I am completely hopeless.
  
• Speaking of Hatoful, here's a plot synopsis of the second drama CD (complete with greatest album cover ever.) ravenworks pointed out this line: "Then Yuuya comes back from outside. He investigated around the strange field and got injured by cats." He then said that lays the question of bird size to rest once and for all (even though I responded by pointing out that it had already been laid to rest when the human protagonist mistook a murdered cooked and dressed Yuuya for a Christmas turkey.) Either way, http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lv99m0c7Un1qgssy8o1_1280.jpg and http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lveb05O77s1r79lzoo1_r1_500.jpg are canon, which is the best thing ever.
  
• Yesterday, I finally completed Hanano Puzzle ("Hanano" from the Japanese meaning "Satan's Unsolvable Flower Garden") and my God. I did it almost entirely on my own, though three of the fifty levels defeated me; I needed to consult the TIGSource hint thread for 37 and 43 and flat-out ask xviith_et_seq to help me through 47. But other than that! Haha ... haaa.
