The Michael Swayne Story V: King of his Castle

Brutus was standing on his hind legs, looking out through my window. I walked over there to see what he was looking at. And then for no real reason, I put my hand on the screen. And all I feel is glass. No wind, no rain; just cold glass. It turns out that there was another window separating me from cool breezes. I had no idea until this evening. And it was also why I am typing this with very few articles of clothing on my person. Once it cools down some I will get under the covers of the bed and sleep, but it depends on how much longer it is planning on raining. It was raining this morning (but I already said that with the previous entry), and it is raining now. It will rain tomorrow as well.

I finished Nier this evening. In fact, I finished two of the four endings, the second was seen about ten minutes ago. And oh my gosh, it is such a great game! Everything I had been working toward since I started playing it culminated into one of the best games I have ever played. Because the alternate endings give more and more of the story to the player, I will wait and talk more about it when I have seen the other two endings. And in order to do that, I have to get all of the weapons in the game. Apparently, it will give me a choice at the end. I already know what the choice is, from having spoiled the game for myself. But I am still going to get Ending C first. I kind of have to, because I don't want my save files deleted (the bad side of Ending D).

Anyway, I spent the day playing Nier again. The only time I wasn't playing it was right after Joey came home from school. We practiced for his test, and then played Mario. We have finished the Meringue Cloud area. He is getting the hang of things. He can do the first level all by himself now. And that's all he'll do. We use the Pipe Cannons a lot. I will do a level to continue the story, and he will do the first level, only to then go back and do a new level.

I never actually went back to sleep after posting that last entry. I am hoping the rain will quiet down some so I can go to sleep. It's either that, or put my head near Jackson. His snoring should drown out the sound of the rain hitting the tin roof. Anyway, that's all for now. I hope to see you around the forums, and until then...

Later!

Michael
