i didn't go out and i didn't get any candy.

I spent all day today drawing a self-portrait made of text. (look for pictures in the OT creativity thread soon)

Also I got up to the boss of the volcano world in pac-land 2.

And I found out the controller I got from ebay is defective.  ARRGH.

I also played some Spider and Web.  It's so amazingly unbelievably awesome (it truly unfolds the potential of IF as both a story-telling and interactive medium), but I'm stuck in front of the lab doorway.  Hmm.

So, my day has not been particularly halloween-y.

there's a lot of ways to get through. Experiment, get the feedback from the agent when you mess it up. The puzzles in spider and web aren't very sticky, to make a bad pun. Excellent game.

You weren't the only one, it was absolutely deserted last night. There were barely any trick-or-treaters where I lived. Did anyone else find that the number of people out for halloween had significantly dropped this year?

[Mercury Rising]

Yes.  I had a total of 6 trick-or-treaters arrive at my house as compared to last years 45.  Good for me because I get all the leftover candy!  When you don't go trick-or-treating its all you get...

[AlexHW]

only had one come to our house..

This is sad. Funny how it seems to have tanked so quickly, I've noticed participation creeping down over the last couple of years, but I was shocked at the drop for this year.

Elaborate, please?

And since halloween is over, guess I'll change my avatar.

I dig that, crab.  Have you got an online gallery or something?  I've always dug your stuff, but I haven't seen much of it.
