neverwhere: (Monkey Island)
[personal profile] neverwhere
Another day, another icon.

Is this one better than the Richard from Neverwhere picture I used last night? Probably not, as even less people will know Monkey Island. Well, [livejournal.com profile] cat_irix knows who Guybrush is, and probably thinks I'm extremely odd for making an icon for him. *G*

If you'd like to see a truly excellent comic version of the best computer game ever, please go here. :)


Had a most peculiar dream last night. Or rather, this morning, in that strange dreaming place where you know you're dreaming but are still involved with the story and think it's real.

I dreamed about Frodo (not Pippin! I know, most bizarre) fighting Orcs by the Anduin, but for some reason his screaming fangirls were there as well, watching him fight and eating popcorn on the riverbank. And Frodo had to worry about them being attacked, and kept telling them to hide, but they didn't listen, and just giggled at him. And he wasn't using Sting, but my kitchen knife that says 'Sainsburys' on it. And probably most surreal of all, he wasn't stabbing with the knife as one normally does with a sword, but slicing them in half, cutting through Orcs like butter. No wait, most surreal of all was when some English footballers showed up, and Frodo sliced them in half as well. And a coach shouted at a newly halved player, saying something about how you can't play with only half a foot...And still the fangirls were there, watching and giggling.
Most bizarre. :)








Ah'm booored. *mopes around like a sad Pippin lass*

Poor Nev. :( I'm bored, too.

Mmmm, but Snape is one sexy bastard. (I do *not* have a one-track mind!)

At least you have your world domination plans to occupy your time. How's that going for you by the way? :)

Haven't found anyone interesting enough to use my thrall on yet. It's not like I'm going to even need it on our government officials.

Tony might take some convincing though; I'll leave that to you. ;)

I once tried to sneak into Downing Street when the guards weren't looking. It didn't work though. *G*

I'll come and visit and you can use your thrall on me. Then we can take turns and you can me my minion for a while. ;-)

Hey there, you sexy brooding beast! What brings you to my humble abode? :)

Your natural attraction for Ravenclaw professors is surfacing again, no doubt. *smirks*

A chance encounter nothing more.

In my universe, the only Ravenclaw Professor is Professor Flitwick and Madam, I can assure you I have no attraction towards him.

Awww, so you won't be staying for tea? I have some excellent raspberry jam for my freshly baked crumpets. *G*

You should spend time in my universe then, where I am a popular Ravenclaw prof and best friends with all the Slytherins. *smug grins*

That must keep you very busy, Professor Neverwhere. However, such friendships can be distracting at best and dangerous at worse.

And why would you think, Nevvie, that anyone who ever played MI, would consider somebody odd for doing *anything* MI-related ? ;-)

However I must admit that I liked the original MI1 graphics way better than the "cartoonish" version...

Hey, there's a link to some fan games at the site you mention ! wonder when I'll have time to try them out...

I have been meaning to ask

How is one able to aquire a version of Neverwhere in the states?

I know you guys have different Video tapes, so just sending me a copy can't work...


Any other ideas????

There are some sci-fi shops that sell converted copies, or you can buy the video from the UK and convert it to NTSC yourself.

Otherwise there isn't much choice I'm afraid, it was never officially released in the US, so every copy is either illegal or imported (or both :).

I do happen to have a US compatible version, but it's in a box somewhere at my mum's house. At least, I think it's there -- she just moved and may have thrown it away. I'll ask if you like. :)

I know who Guybrush is. *gryn* Though I only know the old original Monkey Island, not this newfangled graphic-y version. Come to think of it, 'twas Nick who sent me the bloody game and was almost responsible for me failing my psychology class as a result of the ensuing obsession. Mmm, Monkey Island. Whatever happened to Nick?

I had a Buffy dream last night, in which I was Willow. But it was really depressing, even more depressing than the show of late. Bah.

::peeved:: Nevvie, where did the Guybrush icon go? I liked it! And I managed to miss the Richard one, and I want to see it. Hmph.

Fascinating dream! Sounds just like the ones I've been known to have every now and then. Right now I don't seem to remember the dreams I have. *sobs* I'm honoured to be cursed by such a gorgeous Potions Master! Can't wait to see the Chamber movie! Or the Two Towers movie!
