Jul. 24th, 2006 08:18 ami was thinking yesterday about how i have frequent moments of deja vu. for example, mati was sitting in the wicker chair and talking about something, and there was a moment where the tone in his voice and the position of his body and the look on his face were things i had SEEN BEFORE, probably in a dream, i would swear it. this has happened to me for a long time and it always weirds me out.
but then i started thinking about the computer game "deja vu", and how i never really got into that one. it seemed very adult and noir to me, and i didn't find that appealing. but i remember loving another text-command based game, and i wasn't sure of the name but i thought it was "transylvania", and lo and behold, i was right:
my dad and i used to sit and play that game and give it commands that it wouldn't let you do -- i.e. when that werewolf would show up, tell it to "puke up garlic" and the computer would be like "i do not understand that command. werewolf eats you. game over."
i also used to play "life and death" with thea, but that was many years later and much higher tech. i just remember we could never quite make it through the appendectomy, so we'd get punchy and start doing ridiculous things, like putting blood in the IV drip, and cutting someone's subcutaneous fat open and then scrubbing it with a sponge for no reason. i was never very good at video games, but i had my fun.
