Sick
I ended up not going into work today, because I spend the day on my feet, and when the room starts spinning every time you stand up? Yeah, bad times. I'm fine, so long as I'm sitting down and not talking. Besides, I work with food. You don't want a sick person handling your food. (Also I don't think running around in a giant freezer would be good for me right now.) So I played Jak II on and off all day (like when I wasn't napping or making tea. mmm, tea).
Yes, where were we? Right, blowing up Hellcat-whatever-thingies. It kind of annoys me that I can start a mission, go out and attempt it, then save and call it a night without finishing said mission, and then when I reload, I have to go trigger it again. Seriously, can't we at least remember that I've started it?
I think I do not like this Hellcat Destruction mission at all. I have to steer, which I am bad at, I have to aim at and shoot things, which I am bad at, and I have to do it all in a Zoomer while running for my life from everything. Bleh. I declare this my least favorite mission ever (thus far)!
...did you know that when you throw someone out of their Zoomer, they disappear? That is very creepy. I hadn't realized that before. Augh!
Onin is squinting suspiciously at either me or Kor. I hope it is Kor, because I squint suspiciously at him, too.
I REALLY DO NOT LIKE KOR. He's not even doing anything right now and I'm staring at him like he's going to try and kill me or something. Gwah!
Augh! I have to hit buttons in patterns and stuff! It's like calibrating the lightning towers in the Thunder Planes in FFX-2! I was terrible at that! I think there is still one out there that I just cannot beat! Aaah! *spams buttons like a maniac*
I keep confusing O and X and I do not know why.
But I finished on my first try with only 12 errors! I'm impressed with myself. O_O
...Pecker, stop singing.
KOR IS RUNNING AWAY DURING A "BIG REVEAL." OBVIOUSLY HE IS EVIL AND PLANNING ON GETTING THERE BEFORE ME AND STAGING AN AMBUSH. Or something.
I'm just grasping now, aren't I? And who is Mar?
Hey, I'm getting better at navigating on the hoverboard! I managed to go from Onin's tent to the Gate that takes me up to the mountains without running over a single guard!
Now, which way do I go to get to No Man's Canyon? I don't see a Pillar ofDirections Light immediately. I try the platform I must shoot first!
Oh, yeah, and there it is down the elevator.
Huh. Doom Pit. ...and now the music stops. Erm.
Oh, hey. Cutscene. Wow, we just murdered a statue! Awesome! Back to town now!
...funny, I was just wondering how one got up on this platform, and here I am on top of it.
Okay, so Kor did get to the Tomb before me, but he brought "the Kid" and Samos. Both of whom also bother me, although for different reasons. I dunno about "the Kid" yet, but Samos just seems... man, I dunno, this is gonna sound weird? But 'younger,' or something. Maybe it's the lack of Extreme Beard.
Yeah, Kor, I'll just bet you've been waiting for this day. Why does he want the Precursor Stone? Eh? EH?!
Daxter's motivational speech fails. Jak, stop waving "goodbye" to "the Kid." That's not nice.
Have we heard "the Kid" speak yet, or is he just communicating in facial expressions?
Hey, uh, Jak, why're you moving forward? Hrm. Door doesn't like "the Kid." OKAY CHARGE THE DOOR. SURE, THAT WORKS, TOO.
DIDN'T I PREDICT HAVING TO DO THIS? Not that that was a hard prediction. I mean, this is a video game, and how often does the player end up having to do everything in video games? Always, isn't it?
Hey, are those torches Green Eco? Man, I've missed that stuff. I miss healing in general, actually. Gah.
There are critters in the water. They probably want to kill me. Fortunately, I have a gun and a hoverboard. I AM INVINCIBLE! Unless you put a bottomless pit in front of me, in which case I am simply dead.
Huh... I don't think they can leave the water.
... Oh. Pits of Dark Eco and platforms with spikes. Uh. ...it was nice knowing you, Jak?
OH GOD. MOVING SWING-BARS. THAT'S NOT FAIR.
AUGH.
... Bweh?! Uh?! Okay I am suddenly Daxter and running for my life. Where did Jak go and where did this giant runway come from? Whatever. New and exciting ways to die! All right!
Oh. That wasn't... too hard.
NEVER MIND NOW THE BOULDER IS A GIANT SPIDER. ACK! RUN FASTER RUN FASTER
AND THERE ARE SPIDERS ON THE PATH
AUGH I HATE SPIDERS!
Also, why does Daxter getting hit hurt Jak? IT MAKES HIS SOUL BLEED. OH ANGST.
Or something?
Like I'd know.
oh God please spider go away ;_;
HA! YES! DIE IN A DOOR!
And now Jak is all alone.
....oh, not more Moving-Pole Swinging. I am so bad at this.
...aw, the switch turned off all the lights. Darn. I liked them. They were... glowy and stuff.
Bugs. Lots of bugs. ... three of them had spots on their bellies, but I totally don't know which was the third. Got the first two, though! They flew onto the door.
AUGH! They explode when you hit the wrong ones!
Grah.
Electric water. Fun.
The walkway just killed me! What?
... more bugs. More walkways.
...The stones make noise when I hit them. O-kay.
And some of them make the same noise. Is this like that game of cards where you have to match them up?
Lucky for me I have good tonal memory, if nothing else.
And we get another switch. Cool.
Yay, we found Daxter again!
Hora-Quan, eh? I almost like that better. And they all want the Precursor artifacts? KOR IS TOTALLY IN LEAGUE WITH THEM. That, or I just really don't like him because he bothers me and I am not sure why.
And, uh, either statue-voice really is confusing Jak with someone else - "The Kid," possibly - or, um, yeah.
Arg! Stupid Baron! I kill!
...actually, wait, did you take out Kor? I might just wound you grievously if you took out Kor.
Gah! Okay, after robots and bombs, the Baron comes and shoots at me. I have incredibly strange luck sometimes and was standing behind a pillar both times he flew past. Huzzah!
Arg. He's got the stone. Slag.
...Okay, I've been fighting the temptation, but I have to know. Does this water kill me?
Nope.
Back to the hideout!
....
What
I just
I JUST FELL THROUGH THE PAVEMENT AND ENDED UP IN
...WATER.
WHAT IS THAT ABOUT, GAME?
And I just swam through a wall and am... in the sewers.
How?
There's an elevator. I'm in the same little area as the grate that had a Metal Head hiding in it.
I am so, so confused right now.
...woah, yellow guards.
Holy--!
Torn did betray me! huh
Ah, ease up, Jak. We kind of predicted something like that'd happen, right? Proper motivation and all, yep, there it is. Yep. Let's just get on with business, then.
And, uh, as I figured, I'm... not really upset. I mean... meh. I like Torn, though, which might make a difference.
Still, Kid-saving? That's fine. Samos-saving? Also fine. Kor-saving.... Well, at least I'll be able to keep on eye on him? Man, I don't know. He really bothers me.
I always feel kind of bad for killing these guards. They're just having nice little conversations until I come in and destroy them utterly.
Never mind that they usually shoot first.
AUGH TOO MANY GUARDS! NEVER ENDING GUARDS!
DO THEY EVER STOP?!
...wow, do I feel like an idiot.
No, no, they do not stop until you get to the doorway. Hiding behind a pillar and blasting them from around it will only deplete your ammunition. So glad I figured this out after dieing several times.
And what kind of moron leaves bottomless pits scattered around their base, anyway?
Oh, hey, back in the opening prison-area.
AUGH TWO SAMOS'
RIGHT. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED.
OH GOD, WE ARE DEALING WITH DOUBLE TIME TRAVEL.
Just, who all went where? Did Samos come from the future? I imagine he'd remember all this, if so... Not to say he doesn't, just we could possibly avoid a lot of annoying stuff if he could tell us, hey, they're going to go do [really bad thing that they're going to do], go stop them! (No, actually, I am not really that surprised by there being two of them. It's just also rather horrifying. TWO. WE DON'T NEED TWO.)
Who is this guy who hates me? Racer-dude?
Oh, that's Erol.
HEY! Keira, it's not my fault I was a science experiment! Geez, guess we'll be sure to ask your permission next time we decide to throw ourselves however many years into the future and get ambushed, knocked out, and pumped full of freaky substances that usually kill people. I am lucky not to be dead!
I hate you, too. Good grief.
Good job, Jak. Verbal face-slap. Now if only that got me out of racing, too! (Because, really, we all know that's the real reason he just walked off. He broke the fourth wall, looked through the television screen, saw that I still have the controller, and decided to just leave, because dieing in a fireball on the race track? Not his idea of a good time.
Can't say I blame him, really.)
Wow. ... I wasn't aware it was possible to feel that much foreboding just from the sentence, "How hard can it be?"
Top Gear, you have ruined me.
oh please no more racing, please, please, please...
*kills Daxter forever*
Bleh. The course is easier (no TURNS OF DEATH), but the other drivers are faster or something.
...Yeah, actually, Jak, I was a little high in the turns. HOW DID YOU KNOW?! You really were watching, weren't you?
Krew is icky, though I'm not sure if he's more or less so while sleeping. Perhaps just always icky.
I think Sig's trying to tell me that Krew can't be trusted. (That'd be another one of my hunches right, if so.)
Daxter has no social skills.
So, escorting. Only not in vehicles. And in the sewers. God, I hate the sewers.
... hee! Oh, they are talking amongst themselves and being silly! That's so awesome!
I'm going to feel so awful when they all die because I cannot run escort duty!
AUGH! THEY BLEW THE STATUE UP! DX That's really annoying!
(Me being tired and sick, or thing from inside statue looking like pendant-thing Kid wears?)
And the Underground needs something, too. These things come in giant groups. Either everyone needs me or I run around outside getting lost and/or eaten by Metal Heads. Not complaining, mind.
Bombots of Death approaching. Okay, then. It's always Things of Death with you folk. I'm not sure if two Samos' being in the same room at once is the best thing or the worst thing yet. Possibly it is both at once. They argue with each other!
That was very easy. If I'd had more than one bar of health, I probably wouldn't have died at all!
What, Krew again? He wants me to throw the race. Like I have to try to lose or something. He's obviously not been paying much attention.
... Watch it, slimeball. Don't even begin to think you'd be able to stick Daxter on the wall. Really. The "Mission Failed: Retry?" favors me, not you, so even if you succeeded once or twice, I would stop you eventually!
'Course after I explode a zillion times racing Erol right now, I'm sure it won't matter if I throw or not. I'll be dead by then!
Hey, Erol, I'm not doing this because I'm all upset over whatever you're saying about Keira thinking I'm a loser. I'm doing this because it's required to advance the plot and because I don't like you and I will have to beat you eventually, which will make me laugh evilly.
Also I already know she thinks I'm a loser. She also thinks I'm a freak! Thanks, Keira, really. Love you, too.
Where are the Krimzon Guards throughout all this, anyway? Why aren't they trying to kill me? Erol had this all arranged and told them not to bother this time, didn't he? What a jerk. A "prepared in advance" jerk, but a jerk nonetheless.
....HA! IN YOUR FACE, EROL! I FINALLY BEAT YOU! ("You were bottle-fed, weren't you?" is perhaps one of the strangest insults I have ever heard. I love it!) bweehee!
Oooh, goody! Vin needs to be insane at us some more!
Oh, and Samos wants us to go fetch something he hid way back however long ago we were from his hut. ...he can wait. Vin is awesomer. And also insane.
And also not not-telling me about crazy time-traveling things that might've been handy to know about. Or anything. I'm not bitter, I'm just looking for excuses.
Heehee, funny twitchy man!
...More eggs!
Daxter doesn't like the sound of "high, jump, drop." I can't see why not! He does it often enough, anyway! They should both be used to it. At least Jak is accepting, right?
...The, ah, Heartless sitting in the Dark Eco are rattling. Did they always do that and I just didn't notice? Seriously, what are those?
Oh, I have to jump on the hoverboard and land on a rail and then grind across it? Blarg!
...I am so glad they didn't make me perform that jump. Good job, guys!
Ooh, those things are Metal Head eggs! In retrospect, I probably should've figured that one out. But those aren't new! They've been there all along!
Whatever. o_@
Back to Dead Town again. With the killer mud. Whee!
...All right! I get a giant metal suit-thingy! Awesome!
...Right, this is going to sound just terrible of me, but this suit rather reminds me of... Transmutate. It's got weird feet, and a small rocket pack on its back, and weird hands, and a (well, okay, two) reverse-articulated legs, and not much in the way of armor plating (not that the Titan suit really needs it)... Also, same color-scheme.
Possibly I am just a very strange person. I mean, that's entirely possible. ...I should rewatch Beast Wars and Beast Machines again.
I got a glowy green thing!
... I'm with Daxter, here. Seriously, we are totally responsible for everything! GIVE MORE CREDIT! RAR!
I can never find my way out of here...
PECKER VS. DAXTER, FIGHT! ...Daxter, Jak doesn't say any of that.
Aaand now I'm supposed to bring this thing to Other Samos, but I think I've covered a little too much ground as it is.

I have come to the conclusion that the writing I see around town must actually be that: writing. There's probably a way to crack it.
...Which means I get to learn another fictional language/code! I mean, what's one more on top of Maximal and Predacon glyphs, Al Bhed, my own made up alphabet, and ... whatever little bit of Tolkien's Elven I can remember, which really isn't much. (Oh, I am a terrific dork.)
Yay!
Though first I might google it to see if anyone else has cracked it, first. I am sure people have, I just do not know if I will be able to find it. (I think I have "H" figured out, since Krew's bar is the Hip Hog Bar, and the shape at the beginning of the sign over the door appears twice.)

I have come to the conclusion that the writing I see around town must actually be that: writing. There's probably a way to crack it.
...Which means I get to learn another fictional language/code! I mean, what's one more on top of Maximal and Predacon glyphs, Al Bhed, my own made up alphabet, and ... whatever little bit of Tolkien's Elven I can remember, which really isn't much. (Oh, I am a terrific dork.)
Yay!
Though first I might google it to see if anyone else has cracked it, first. I am sure people have, I just do not know if I will be able to find it. (I think I have "H" figured out, since Krew's bar is the Hip Hog Bar, and the shape at the beginning of the sign over the door appears twice.)
