Zeus Eat Soul
Jul. 2nd, 2002 07:03 pmLately I've been feeling the need to play a game more intellectually challenging and less full of little red and white balls than JezzBall, and I've dealt with this peculiar impulse by getting my hands on Zeus: Master of Olympus.
As it says in the subject line, Zeus eat soul. I don't think I've done anything useful since I got it; last night I stayed up until some completely stupid hour in the morning playing it.¹ It's a fun, strange, whimsical game, and I'm glad
lilairen got it, because without her around, talking about the waterskiers behind her triremes and Artemis' disturbing pimp-swagger, it would never have come to my attention. The only thing I don't like about it is that most buildings don't rotate when the view does — that is, no matter whether I'm looking at them from the north or the south, most buildings always look the same, which is a problem because it's completely disorienting. My preoccupation has also spared me the knowledge of Darkhawk's public cackling for nearly a full day, which reprieve I have mixed feelings about, but there you go.
¹ And then I lay in 'bed' for half an hour working out the "I'm pregnant." "... literally?" scene in my head, which is not useful at the moment, but there are some nice words in it, and I suspect I should write them down before I forget them and what order they go in.
