AMNESIA COMMENTARYsdrawkcabsllortAugust 2 2011, 22:51:06 UTC
[Okay guys! Feel free to comment to this thread. For every comment, I'll make a new recap and/or a reaction from Karkat at something that's happened in the game. I'll be doing it all in TEXT, so expect a lot of keysmashing when it gets to the scary bits!
If you want to [action] it up like you're sitting beside him playing it, just tag this with action in the comment subheader! LETS GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD.]
OKAY, LET'S START THIS SHIT. "WELCOME TO AMNESIA: THE DARK DESCENT! WHAT FOLLOWS IS A COUPLE OF QUICK MESSAGES ON HOW TO GET THE BEST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE." ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? IT'S TELLING ME HOW TO EXPERIENCE THIS FUCKING GAME? THIS IS SUCH BULLSHIT

ACTION SHIT YEAAAHrelovedAugust 3 2011, 22:03:13 UTC
[ As if Minako needed an invitation in the first place - she would just have invited herself over. So she's propped herself up on a seat, watching somewhat amused as Karkat plays the game. ]
I know, I know! Call it after me! [ A grin. It's somewhat joking, although honestly part of it might be serious.. Part of it.. ]
MY CO-PLAYER WANTS ME TO CALL IT AFTER HER. THAT'S MINAKO. SHE'S HERE TO GET ME REFRESHMENTS WHEN I FINISH THIS BAG OF CANDYCORN. AND PROBABLY ANNOY THE SHIT OUT OF ME. ANYWAY I'M DISSEMBLING. OKAY, "TREMENDOUS DOUCHE" IT IS. WAIT, WHAT THE FUCK TO DO MEAN, "NICE TRY, SMARTASS?"! WHAT THE FUCK?
[Karkat glares at the screen, then back at Minako. He rolls his eyes hard and goes to type in something else.]
FINE, FINE. MINAKO AINO IT IS. RIGHT. OH LOOK, IT'S STARTING. SOME DOUCHEBAG SAYING HE BETTER REMEMBER. DON'T FORGET, DANIEL. YOUR NAME IS DANIEL, DANIEL. DON'T FORGET, DON'T FORGET. THIS SHIT IS RIVETING. ... OKAY I CAN CONTROL THE DOUCHE NOW. SURE IS BREATHING HEAVY. AND THERE'S SOME PEMPTO BISMOL OR SOME SHIT ON THE FLOOR. A TRAIL. WELL OH MY FUCKING GOD, I WONDER WHAT I NEED TO DO HERE.
[Rolling his eyes, Karkat sets Daniel to moving. The atmosphere of the dark castle affects him slightly. With his other hand, he digs into the bag of candycorn, stuffs some into his mouth, and hands another handful to Minako.
[ There's a not-quite-surpressed giggle at the naming failure. It's okay, Karkat, she already saw through your first tsun try either way. n_n
After that she just munches on the candycorn, watching the playthrough intensely - apparently she seems to like the game a lot already, although she doesn't really seem unnerved yet. ]
Ahaha, I can't wait to see what sort of thing waits at the end of that-- [ She barely finishes the end of her sentence before shoving more candycorn in her mouth. She grins a little as she turns to the troll teasingly. ] ... Hey, hey, Karkat, do you still remember the name?
Shit, dunno. Daniod? [He crunches on some more candycorn and continues to direct Daniel. He picks up a few tinderboxes and goes to find the trail again - and yelps when a door suddenly slams open in the game, sending a gust of paper cuttings swirling through the air. He clears hsi throat and shakes his head.] Got a stitch, [He grumbles it, almost daring Minako to say he was scared.]
OKAY, THIS GAME BASICALLY JUST SEEMS TO BE 'DANIEL BREATHES HEAVILY, PICKS UP TINDERBOXES, AND HESITANTLY OPENS DOOAH HOLY SHIT! DOOR JUST FLEW OPEN. FLURRY OF PAPER. SHIT I THOUGHT WE WERE ACTUALLY GOING TO SEE SOME FUCKING ACTION FOR ONCE. NOPE. JUST THE FUCKING PAPER-BLOWING WIND.
[ It.. actually sort of amuses her, the way Karkat is tsunning trying to deny the fact that he's scared. She actually doesn't seem particularly fazed by the sound - if anything her eyes light up at the sight of finally something happen.
She laughs, although her grin is slightly less obnoxious than usually. ]
[He shoots her a scowl, and at just that moment, the camera seems to pulse and whirl out of his control, making Daniel's point of view show them the walls, the ceiling, the walls again, and then the floor. Karkat stares at it, tries to get the camera back to normal, but finds he can't.] What. The. Fuck. [He presses for him to go on, and Daniel does seem to move. Slowly. Across the floor. As if he's...]
SO DANIEL FAINTED. NOW HE'S CONVULSING ON THE FLOOR, BY THE LOOKS OF THINGS. I AM A FUCKING HARD TASKMASTER, THOUGH, SO I'M FORCING HIM TO GO ON. IS IS HE DRAGGING HIMSELF ACROSS THE FLOOR ONE ARMED? SHIT, THIS GAME IS FUCKING MESSED UP...
[ Now this is different.. she can handle scary things, but something like this is enough to make her slightly uncomfortable too. Just for a moment though, as she quickly forces the feeling away again and instead peers at the screen. ]
He's on the floor, and he's moving around really jaggedly. I think it's pretty fucking evident that that's what he's doing. [Karkat hammers on the keys again, and Daniel gets to his feet. Karkat lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding, and waits for the surroundings to stop waving. He flicks up the inventory and checks his sanity meter.] "A slight headache." What the fuck? That was a "slight headache"? [He continues to grumble and goes on.]
Wow, that's sort of strange.. [ Yes, that's all Minako has to remark at the last part. She's too absorbed in the game to make remarks about love or justice, and she's still stuffing her face with candycorn as she speaks and watches. ]
And hey, be glad it was only a slight headache! It could have been full-blown insanity! [ She wiggles her fingers slightly. Perhaps for dramatic effect. ]
If you want to [action] it up like you're sitting beside him playing it, just tag this with action in the comment subheader! LETS GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD.]
