There is that moment in games when you meet a quest giver and they start asking for stuff, and you are just "Oh, yeah, I got that. And that. And that too." because you have been exploring too much. "Bring us a rat guard's handkerchief." "Any specific guard's? Because I threw them all in my satchel and am not sure which belonged to which guard.."

Finally got past the jump that was giving me so much trouble in Ghost of a Tale, only to find out it let to an optional collectible. With the time I wasted it is now dark and the npcs I wanted to talk to are asleep. I'll fool around and see if I can steal a few more handkerchiefs from the rat guards while I wait for dawn.

That would have been a hell of an update

Enjoying the view The dread pirate Roberts:

Ghost of a Tale It is in early access, meaning it has quite a few bugs still and only a quarter of the game is playable right now. As is, it already seems to be a great stealth game. Check my post here: http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/87282-what-are-you-playing-right-now/?p=1830822 Currently I am stuck at this stupid jump, trying to climb the outside of a ruined keep. I never was good at jumping.

So looking at the Ghost of a Tale early access plan, I read this and was quite impressed: "We estimate that Ghost of a Tale will be in early access for up to six months (though of course this is subject to change). We are a very small team (one person does 90% of art and coding) and we’ll need that time to complete the game, test and localize it."

And you collect different outfits during the game. I have the first items for the pirate outfit and the boots for the thief outfit so far.

And some fun with barrels:

And another screenshot hiding from the guards

Upcoming: Screenshots that will be especially liked by: Keyrock

Lost twice against the Sharkatrix in Anarcute. I know how to beat him, just haven't managed to pull it off yet. Maybe try it when I am not tired.

Moderators are one of those cases where once they get in they can keep their job, since they are the ones handling the complaints about themselves.

Talking to my accountant. This guy walks in, long beard, heavy metal meets anarchist look. Accountant makes a few copies of some paperwork for him. He leaves. Accountant turns to me: "You'll never guess what he does for a living." <dramatic pause> "He's an undercover policeman. You'd never guess by the looks of him, would you?" And I stand there thinking: and that is how easily cover gets blown

Cleaning out desktop. Noticed the "application" pdf file I had send that lady got corrupted. Meh. A good joke ruined by technology Can't resend it, or what's meant as a joke will look as if I was desperate.

Liberated Tokyo in Anarcute. Now to go riot in Paris.

They should add IQ tests to these questioners.

Hmm, got a customer review 5/10 for staff. In the text they wrote how awesome the staff was. Customers can be such...

Sorry to hear it. One of my neighbours has decided to bring his pet bunny to the bar every day now. I feel sorry for the animal. All the loud music and people can't be good for it.

Hmm, coast seems clear. Oi, guys, where are you? Like minded individuals ahead? Together we are strong! Don't just stand there! Let's Occupy Steam!

Update: Made a proper application, though the police refused to put an official stamp on it. Could have tried to find some other official, but meh - just went and downloaded an image of the stamp from the interwebz and faked it. Send it. Now I feel a bit like an idiot. But it was slightly cathartic

Yeah. Tempted to actually fill out a proper application and get it stamped and filed at the police station, just to see her face. But I know it's more effort than she is worth.

So I am turning 37 this summer. Naturally I have had my fair share of rejections. And have rejected in turn. And probably I too could have been better at it. But "You can file an application" is probably the most ridiculous line I have heard.
