After doing my usual browse through IndieGames I found this short puzzle game called Icarus Needs. It follows the story of a man named Icarus who needs to complete certain objectives to reach his overall goal: to wake up.
The game itself is incredibly simple. You've got the objectives on the left, inventory on the right, and it even has the controls for forgetful people.
It's a really short and quick play for anybody who's worried about not having enough time. The puzzles are simple enough, and the design of the game looks great. If you don't want another game that has some incredibly deep meaning at the end of it (like 3lind), then you'll be glad to hear that the ending is simple.
The game is in browser (so no need for downloads) and you can play it for free at Kongregate right here.
Novel
Once again I've been thinking about writing a novel. This happens whenever something in life inspires me to write a short story about it (and then I end up wanting to write a novel). I remember a while ago I started writing The Benefits of Life (which unfortunately I have stopped work on). This possible novel will aim towards that general theme. Somebody also asked for excerpts of The Benefits of Life to be posted on this blog, so I might do that for this novel. Hopefully I won't have to add this to the list of failed novels (The Benefits of Life and Brighter Days).
Ever since getting into anime, I've watched a few really good ones. A few days ago I finished what was actually a movie (in the style of anime) called Summer Wars. The film itself was really good and I recommend it to anybody who's looking for a good movie to watch.
Anyhow, in one of the scenes, one of the characters is talking about the two things that hurt the most. Hunger and loneliness. Naturally you need to eat to survive, but the loneliness aspect was what really had me thinking.
I cannot remember thinking about loneliness. I come in contact with so many people everyday that it is difficult for me to believe that there is such thing as loneliness. However I'm sure everybody feels it once in a while.
It is true. Loneliness is much more painful than it sounds. You really start to see it when you start losing friends.
That's It For This Post
So what's got me worried is that I may have not registered for the Science 10 Provincial. I wasn't aware of it and my summer course teacher hadn't mentioned anything about it, so I'm not sure if I'm already registered or if I will have to take Science 10 in the next school year again (which I would absolutely hate). On a completely different note, I'm also out of lined paper.
Today I am a 8. There isn't anything special about today, but hey, I won't know that until tomorrow or some other day in the future. I just have to put on a smile and get through life until I reach that day.
