Cognition and a Disappointing Dentist Visit
I finished episode 1 of Cognition yesterday. Really good game with good puzzles. Animation was kind of weird and buggy though. Sometimes Erica would be walking through a wall or suddenly teleport to where I clicked the mouse lol. They could definitely improve on that. Also Erica's accent was strange to me. She was supposed to be from Boston, but sometimes it sounded like a standard American accent and sometimes an English accent. Then I found out her voice actress is Raleigh Holmes who is the stepdaughter of Jane Jensen, who created the Gabriel Knight series and acted as story consultant for this game. Her father is Robert Holmes who composed the score for the Gabriel Knight games. Together they have a band called "The Scarlet Furies" and Raleigh Holmes is the lead singer of the band. The songs are featured in this game as well as in Gray Matter. And so...doh. She is a great singer though and is from Lancaster, PA. Yes, I thoroughly scoured the net for this info. I read on one site that she gives an authentic Bostonian accent, so maybe I was wrong and that's her real accent lol.
So, I'm eagerly awaiting episode 2. Who knows when that will ever come out. I'm still waiting for episode 5 of The Silver Lining from this company. Hello?
In the meantime, I plan on playing the second game of the Deponia trilogy, Chaos on Deponia. Just waiting for it to finish downloading... Here's my gameplay video for Cognition Episode 1: The Hangman (It shows how one of the cognition powers works):
Lastly, I went to the dentist today. I left the appointment feeling disappointed and depressed. Another cavity was discovered at the back of one of my front teeth. I don't know how in the hell...because I've been really good this time about brushing and flossing. Last year when I had the cavities it was due to not flossing. So how can this be? My dentist (she's actually a hygenist/dentist hybrid and not my usual dentist) said the cavity could be from a long time ago. Um how? I've been going to the dentist regularly, you think they would have noticed that last time. It doesn't make sense. I think they missed this cavity last time they did my x-rays. I'm sure of it. It's a conspiracy.
She even said how "cool" it was that the cavity can't be seen by the naked eye, only by x-ray. Um no, it's not "cool." It fucking sucks. So yes, that means it is a small cavity. And that means I have to come back again in a couple weeks to have it drilled on. Fun.
My cleaning kind of hurt too and bled some. This also puzzles me because like I said, I've been flossing. The dentist also mentioned my sores from biting my lips. It seemed like she was thinking I was doing it on purpose and I emphasized "accidentally." So she told me to try not to do it because it won't be good if I keep doing it. How the fuck am I supposed to stop? Yes, I bite the inside of my lip and mouth and tongue a lot. I don't know why and how am I supposed to control it? Usually it happens when I chew gum, but I'm not going to quit chewing gum. It happens when I chew food sometimes too. It's probably...my teeth taking punishment on my lips because of being drilled on. They have been through too much and they're mad, so they're taking it out on my mouth. It seems as good a reason as any. But seriously I don't know how to stop. Any ideas?
Can you tell I don't like this dentist/hygenist hybrid woman? No I don't, and neither does my mom. My regular dentist who would normally be reading my x-rays wasn't in today. He's on vacation in Hawaii right now. Lucky bastard. Fortunately, he'll be the one drilling on my mouth, not her. I feel a little more at ease with him.
So yeah, I really can't bear to look at or eat sweets now. It just depresses me. Heck I almost didn't want to eat lunch. Maybe I'll go on a liquid diet. No? When this is all I get after going to the dentist...
I am going to make some changes though, like she suggested I floss at night instead of the morning. Also I want to use an electric toothbrush. That was another problem, earlier this year she said I needed to brush better on my bottom molars, so I focused on them and was good about it this time, but that seemed to do nothing because she said the same thing again this appointment. Fuck you teeth. Hopefully an electric toothbrush will be better.
Sorry for the rant, I'm depressed and tired of dentists and cavities and good habits amounting to nothing...
