For some reason my account on Applepics.com (which is where all the emoticons are hosted) has started doing that for some of the pictures. I shall in time move all the pictures over to my Flickr.com account, which is just about the only picture hosting website that hasn't been screwing me over recently (Photobucket seems to work fine everywhere except with *my* computer...). ¬_¬

I have to guess that the existence of the computer game "Alice" is the source of the "seriously fucked up" sentiment, because it really, really is.

...Do you actually know what it's about, or is that purely from my description there?

Believe it or not, I do know a little about computer games, and yes, I'd heard of Alice several years ago.

Hey, don't mind me. Just checking if you'd like some information.
I watched Mr. Watson play it years back (I don't believe he has it anymore). Not my cup of tea, I'll say that.

I think it was reading the backstory in the manual that put me off before even the game itself. I mean come on...it's written as a series of mental institute reports, about how Alice Liddell is a fucked up teenager who enjoys cutting herself and stabbing things. Frankly, I'll stay put with Sonic. ¬_¬

I thought it was a good take on the book...which is itself supremely fucked up.

Personally i prefer the 'stabbing things because you want to' idea to the other popular game plot of slicing people up because they're 'evil'. apart from being told so, how do you know your team is in the right?

Surely a computer game is not the time to get all philosophical...
Besides, in games the enemies are usually so archetypal in their evilness that there really isn't much in the way of ambiguity.

One day I'd love to write the story for a computer game, and make it hugely complicated and ambiguous. And fucked up. ;D

Metal Gear Solid games are pretty complicated and ambiguous...well, in the sense that you get told to "stop the evil terrorists", only to discover halfway through that the entire scenario is a sham, your commanders don't exist and are merely computer simulations, and the only other guy who's even remotely on your side is actually working for the Obligatory Group Secretly Controlling The World...and he was a top villain in the last game anyway, so who knows what to think.
It is fucking creepy when the computer simulating your commander starts glitching though. You have no idea they're even fake yet, and then all of a sudden he calls you up to say
"Turn off the game console. Now."
"Pardon?"
"You've playing for too long. Press the Reset button. Turn off the console and this will be just a memory..."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME?! PRESS THE RESET BUTTON!"
Then his image starts flickering between that of a skeleton and computer static, he gives you cheat codes to 20-year-old Master System games, and for a short while your radar display is interrupted by a feed of a random J-Pop video.
Playing that for the first time at 3 in the morning, I was pretty freaked out.
