Time-wastin'

[sholio]

... I'm playing MGM's little flash game for Mortal Coil and I just had Sheppard sacrifice himself to save Rodney for no reason. Rodney was probably okay where he was, but I just couldn't move the little Sheppard icon back behind a wall and leave Rodney out there unprotected. So I jumped him up between two bad guys instead and he got killed.

The extra-sad thing is, I didn't even think about the strategy of what I was doing; I just did it.

I also keep making up dialogue for them in my head as I move their little avatars around. Also sad.

I totally forgot about the Flash game last week, dangit! Did anybody play the Miller's Crossing one? Can you tell me what the objective was? I'm just curious ... and vaguely annoyed with myself for forgetting. (I wish they had the old games on the site somewhere!)

Haha - I love those games. And, I was looking for something to assist me in my procrastinating ways tonight. Thank you!

The Miller's Crossing one was ok except they got Jeanie's name wrong and called her Sharon which messed up the logic of the little questions and bothered me because that's not her name! Get it right, people! Anyhoo, John and Ronon had to go around collecting the McKays. It was neat. John or Ronon stepped on Rodney or Jeanie's little square and the McKays were saved! Yay! It was very "hang on, we're coming for you guys!"

Oh boy, how much of a loser am I? But...it was neat!

[sholio]

Awww, I wish I hadn't missed that one! (But ... Sharon? WTF?)

Did they have them in Earth clothes or in their Atlantis uniforms?

I keep dying on level 3 in this one! Poor Rodney ... I keep getting Sheppard killed and then Rodney runs around helplessly until the Replicators kill him. It's so sad.

Ah, I think they had Atlantis outfits. Well, except Jeanie who had a red sweater.

I keep getting Rodney killed in this one - and it's disturbing because they're the Replicators, eh? In my head he just keeps getting assimilated for some reason. He must be Rodney 2.0 because Original Rodney would just die a horrible death. Or get his mind probed - another disturbing possibility. The horror knows no end in this week's game! Poor Wee Rodney. Even John and his over-sized gun can't save him!

But I think your Rodney is in a worst position because he has those Extra Moves of Panic to get through before they get him! Oh Noes!

This game is too much fun! :)

For some reason, my Sheppard always dies first -- actually I think it's because in order to kill the Replicators, he has to get close to them, while Rodney I can just keep out of their way until Sheppard clears the way to the probe. Or, more accurately, until Sheppard dies heroically, leaving Rodney to flail around until the Replicators catch him. I keep thinking he ought to be able to make it on his own if he can just avoid the Replicators, but it hasn't happened so far.

Yeah, when I remember to play, my Shep is always getting killed. At least once. I blame the whumper in me ;)

[sholio]

What I think is hilarious is that I actually find myself playing in character!

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

You're breaking my heart, killing John over and over again.

:D

[sholio]

I'm breaking MY heart too! Although I finally managed to get them through Level 3 and they both escaped alive, yay.

It made me want to write a fic where they're trapped somewhere and keep dying and coming back to life, like a horribly messed-up Groundhog's Day. So much angst.

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

OMG that is very angsty...like...T'Pring's "As I Lay Dying" but not!

Yeah, that could be interesting. Shep, Teyla and Ronon keep getting killed and Rodney and Keller have to watch. The guilt alone could drive Rodney mad...

Two words: "Do it!" *g* What are you waiting for? *g*

It's not that sad - OK, it is, but you are not the only one who does it.

And yes, you sometimes have to kill John to get Rodney to the next level.

[sholio]

And yes, you sometimes have to kill John to get Rodney to the next level.

Actually, in my case, the only times I successfully managed to get Rodney a level up were the times that John survived, too.

[parisntripfan.livejournal.com]

I can sometimes manage to get Rodney to the next level even if Sheppard is dead. But he does run about much more.

I'm really sad. I have this ongoing thing where I'm screen capping all of the games. Last week it was Ronon and Shep (sadly, not in FBI guise) rescuing McKay and Jeannie from ninja kidnappers. Except not, because whoever did the game last week has never seen Atlantis and kept calling her "Sharron". The ninjanappers were sadly ineffective.

I also keep making up dialogue for them in my head as I move their little avatars around. Also sad.

Probably much better than the dialogue that was going through my head last week when the ninjanappers kept moving back and forth over McKay.

I can post the pictures if you're really curious.

[sholio]

Oh, do post the pictures! I'd love to see.

[greyias.livejournal.com]

Done! I apologize in advance for the snarky commentary accompanying them.

[annieb1955.livejournal.com]

I liked this one. I've found the others pretty easy but it took me a couple of go rounds this time to get it finished. it's cool but like you I wish they's keep the previous games on site

[sholio]

Yeah, this one was hard! It took me a lot of tries to get through the last level.

I do wish they kept the old ones around; I wonder if anyone's suggested it to them.

[winter-elf.livejournal.com]

I never knew about the games! So, I checked this one out. Ouch, hard! I can't get past Level 2 and John keeps dying! ARGH!

[sholio]

This was a really hard one. It took me forever to finish up the last level.
