Science Kit GET!

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

bandicam 2015-01-07 21-07-18-723 copyI was so proud of Clarise for getting this kit for me but, not long after, she nearly did wall-bonk herself into a coma. Ahhh…. Oh well.

I lead Jonathan downstairs to learn more expressive words and soon enough, he learned everything that the machines could teach him. Next thing I knew, Jonathan was now 23 minutes old and was starting to shape up into a obedient little norn.

bandicam 2015-01-07 21-39-43-372 copyAfter a while, I brought Clarise back down to Jonathan and since becoming a Child, Clarise suddenly became very curious and wanted to put everything in her mouth – toys especially.

bandicam 2015-01-07 21-45-12-703 copyEventually, and I think it was inevitable, the two got into an exhausting slapping fight. After they finally separated, they both looked dead tired. Once they crossed paths again, Jonathan gave Clarise a kiss and they continued to wander the level below the Incubator without rest.

It took some time, but they each spent some time resting. Jonathan didn’t get a chance to fall asleep til much later, but there was some progress made, I think.

bandicam 2015-01-07 21-52-25-415 copyOnce Clarise was an hour old and Jonathan was 40 minutes old, I decided to add a third Norn. I opted for another female. I’ve named her Jenny. She had a bit of a temper for some reason – her angry face seemed to appear for no reason. Anyway, she was taught by the two computers by the incubator and with the help of a nearby Doozer, I was able to teach her a little more vocabulary.

As the three wandered around, trying to eat everything, I started to wonder what I could do about their efforts. Watching them try to stuff tennis balls in their mouth was entertaining and charming at first, but their sad, tired faces were starting to make me upset.

Creatures 2 – Trying Again

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

Untitled-1 copyToday is a big day for me – it’s the day I finally got Creatures 2 working on this machine. And of course, what better way to celebrate than with some dumb-as-manky Creatures?

For this run, I decided not to play with Nova Subterra or Canny genomes and instead just pop in a Goldy from the default genomes. I had no idea what gender my norn would be but I wasn’t disappointed when I found that I’d hatched a girl.

bandicam 2015-01-07 20-09-30-477 copyMeet Clarise. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind that she’d start the game by wall-bonking herself into a coma, but I was pleasantly surprised when she actually sat down by the computer and learned all her verbs.

It didn’t take long for me to find out how obedient she was, either. Still, I dreaded OHSS and tried to enjoy the time I spent with her now, while she was still open to learning.

bandicam 2015-01-07 20-35-52-800 copyWe moved on to the next learning computer and she was basically good to go. It would be up to the Doozers and I to teach her anything more. Speaking of, I did have to discipline her when she refused to rest. A quick nap had her feeling better soon, though. I like to think she’ll forgive me.

Once she was about 20 minutes old, I hatched the next egg.

bandicam 2015-01-07 20-55-18-836 copyThis is Jonathan, named by my husband. He’s a default-genome Emerald norn. Why am I going after default genomes? Well, I have a bunch of breeds installed and want to try the more intelligent genomes, but I’d like to see where it all started first. He didn’t sit still quite so much as Clarise did in her early, early life but high energy does not a bad norn make.

bandicam 2015-01-07 21-00-02-270 copyThat said, when he finally did start to run out of energy, the little guy just couldn’t sit still. I eventually had to deliver some tough-love to his rump before he sat still long enough to fall asleep. He didn’t look pleased with me, but a big grin on his face after his nap told me he was going to be alright.

Science Kit GET!

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

bandicam 2013-07-17 23-05-36-882Today we would continue Gareth’s lessons. He was quite a bit more stubborn than Hannabelle but he learned his lessons quickly enough. Once he’d learned enough about eating and language, I introduced Hannabelle again. Unfortunately, they spent most of their time slapping each other and hardly any at all exploring. I tried to get them to push the Science Kit power up with no success. Instead, they kept butting against the wall of the elevator shaft.

Finally, when Gareth was 50 minutes old, he wiggled his way into the area next to the implement and finally pushed it. He went back to the incubator area and seemed miserable. He had trouble eating and sleeping and so did Hannabelle! It was horrible to see them both so upset. The most logical decision at this point was to take a break and address their problems after some rest of my own.

Trying Creatures 2 Again

by ⋅ Leave a Comment

Well. I never officially created a blog-specific world in Creatures 2 before and it’s been so long since I helped test the Ant norns that I don’t actually remember anything specific about this game. I’m also a little upset about losing all of my C1 norns in one fell swoop so whatever. Let’s start over in a different game.

This blue egg would mark the beginning of a new world. Since I injected this egg using the Genetics Kit, I know that it’ll hatch an unmutated Akamai Pixie though I’m not sure what gender it is. I’m playing with only the basket agent in a totally new, vanilla world.

Not long after I popped the egg into the incubator, this little girl popped out. I was feeling a little goofy so I named her Hannabelle.

By the time she was 14 minutes old, I taught her all the words that the computers had to offer and the Doozers taught her a few nouns. Before long, she was out of the incubator area and had made her way to the desert. It wasn’t long til she fell into the ocean but I was able to fish her out before any damage was done.

It wasn’t long before she was over 20 minutes old and I wanted to introduce another creature.

At first, I tried to have Gareth and Hannabelle together in the Incubation area but with Gareth running all over the place and Hannabelle proving to be a great distraction to both of us, I had to export her and get some one on one time with Gareth. As it was late, though, I would have to save the adventure for another day.
