Burn Notice

Season 2 Episode 5: “Scatter Point”

[weirdandnerdyinlasvegas]

It’s the first weekend of the fall. It’s finally not oppressively hot. 

Since when did I start considering 96 not oppressively hot?

But I digress, I decided to bake a loaf of bread for the first time in a long time. 

Alas, my poor sourdough starter has left this plane of existence. I guess he lives on in the “wild yeast” (That would be a great band name) Chuck Finley is forever. 

So this is just a regular rustic loaf of bread.

Xena Warrior Princess - The Royal Couple of Thieves

Bruce Campbell! No Sam Axe! Chuck Finley? That guy from the 3 Spider-Man movies? Ash? Oh, no Autolycus!

Did I? Did you? Did you see that? Gabrielle got scared and reached for Xena. How many episodes in am I? Damn, that was some top-tier slow-burn goodness right there. This almost as good as when that love interest died, Death took him away, and Gabrielle cried on Xena’s shoulder while Xena had an ‘oh shit’ moment. This is the kind of thing we don’t get too often today. I mean, sure, I scour…

“I want it all back. My job. My money. My life. If you give me that, I’ll give you something better than a scapegoat. We can keep Y/N out of this. I got what you always wanted,” you flatten against a tree to listen to Nick talk to someone over the phone. “The plan went well, Mace.”

Your stomach tightens and you clutch one hand over your mouth to not choke out a sob. Here you were, believing Nick is hiding something from you to protect you, not to rat you out.

When you first met Nick appeared to be one of the most caring men you ever met. He was a talented agent and a charming friend to you. Things turned from soft and innocent to hot and heated as you started a secret relationship.

However, he showed his true self when he fucked the recruit, Mason Brown. Or how she likes to call herself. Mace the ace.

“We don’t need to blame her for being the mole. We can use him now,” Nick continues. “I know she called someone for help. You can bet your life on it whom she called, Mace.”

You hold your breath and try to focus on the conversation, not your aching heart. Nick wanted to blame you. He destroyed your life and everything you built over the last years to get his fucking job back.

“Mace, this is not negotiable. I want my job back. No retiring for Nick Fowler. Tell them I had to go undercover to reveal the traitor. Just make it happen,” he gives Mace your coordinates and yells into the phone as you silently listen. “I got to go back. I don’t want Y/N to get suspicious. She’s out for a while but her mind and instinct are still sharp.”

It takes anything in you to not attack Nick right here and now. You can’t reveal yourself or get caught. He just ratted you, and your friends out.

If you want to save them and yourself, you need to outsmart your former lover.

While Nick barks into his phone, you sneak back toward the cabin, thinking of a plan to trick both, Nick, and Mace you must come up with a hell of a plan, or you are all done for…

“Odd,” Sam frowns as he reads your latest message. “We agreed on radio silence and now Y/N is sending me a message. FUCK!”

“What the fuck!” Jesse exclaims loudly as Sam hits the brakes with full force. They are not an hour away from your position and now, Sam kills the engine. “What is it, old man? Do you need to pee again?”

“We’ve got no time to waste Sam,” Michael turns his attention toward the phone in Sam’s hands. “Y/N needs our help. If we are right, Fowler is a dangerous man ready to sacrifice her to get his life back.”

“Sound familiar to me,” the only woman in the car smirks at Michael. “What?” She coos as Michael frowns at her words. “You would’ve burned the world to get rid of that burn notice in the beginning.”

“I wouldn’t have sacrificed my friends for it.”

“Can you all just shut up?” Sam grumbles. “Y/N just sent me a smoke signal. She wants us to abort the mission and hide. It’s a trap, Michael.”

“What did she write?” snatching the phone out of Sam’s hands Fiona furrows her brows. “Can you bring me a pizza with pineapple? Followed by an exclamation mark, an e, and an a? What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Pineapple means to abort the mission,” Sam explains. “She hates pineapple on a pizza. The exclamation mark means drop everything and run. The dot at the end followed by an e looks like a typo, but it means whoever is with her, is a danger to us and her. And finally, the ‘a means it’s a trap.”

“I don’t give a shit if it’s a trap. We can’t leave Y/N on her own. If anyone wants out, this is your last chance,” Michael looks around the car, nodding as everyone stays in the car. “Well, then. We will attack according to plan.”

“Babe, the car is well-hidden. Y/N?” Nick calls for you. He panics as you are nowhere to be found in the cabin. “Fuck, did she run?” Walking back out of the cabin Nick looks around the area. “Babe?”

He follows your footsteps down a path leading away from the cabin and toward a small lake. “Y/N?”

“I’m here,” you emerge from the water to wave at Nick. He doesn’t need to know that you jumped into the lake with your clothes on to hide that you were spying on him. “I wanted to cool off. Do you want to join me?”

Nick glances at the clothes you dropped on the ground. You grabbed pants and a shirt to pretend you stripped your clothes off before jumping into the lake.

“Nah, it’s a little cold, babe. How about you come out and we go back to the cabin?”

“Just a little longer, baby,” bile rises in your throat as you force a sweet smile on your lips. “How about you make us some tea and I swim a little longer? I’ll be right back, Nick.”

“Don’t take too long, babe,” he flashes you a smile before he turns around to make his way back toward the cabin. Nick releases a shuddery breath as you didn’t run. You only wanted to go for a swim.

“I won’t, you cold-hearted bastard,” your features harden, and you ball your hands into fists. “How can the man I fell in love with turn into a heartless monster.” You dive back down to wash away the tears running down your cheeks.

When you emerge from the water you are back to your new self. The one giving a shit on Nick Fowler and your past. You are the woman you became after he broke your heart.

Watching the path for a moment you take deep breaths before you slowly get out of the water to strip your wet clothes off and hide them behind a bush. You put the dry clothes you brought with you on and hide your knife in your boot and the gun in the waistband of your jeans.

“Let’s play a new game, Nick Fowler,” you grit your teeth. “It’s called Y/N gets her revenge and kicks your ass. Killing Mace will be a bonus…”

Whatever you felt for Nick is long gone when you step back inside the cabin. You are ready to kill your former lover and his partners in crime if you must. He won’t get away with ruining your life. Not again.

“I’m back,” you make Nick flinch. He hides something behind his back, and you know it must be the burner phone you placed on the coffee table for him to find. “Did you brew some tea?”

“Shit, I forgot about the tea, babe,” he flashes you another faked smile, hoping you didn’t realize he checked on your phone. “The friend you called, will he come here?”

“Chuck will be here in three days,” Nick frowns as you do not mention the name he wanted to hear. “He’s the only one I could call. Chuck is an old friend of mine. He doesn’t know anything about my time at the CIA, though. Let’s keep it that way.”

“Chuck?”

“Charles Finley,” you smirk as Nick combs through his brain to find out if he heard the name before. “He prefers Chuck.”

“Do you think it’s smart to involve a civilian?”

“Chuck is capable of handling a tough situation. Believe me,” watching Nick clench his jaw you hold back a chuckle. “Nick, we can’t risk involving anyone related to the CIA. It’s too dangerous. You just got a burn notice. Anyone working for our former employer could rat us out.”

“If you say so,” Nick huffs, frustration plastered all over his face. “I’ll make us some tea. We should sit and wait then…”

“One team,” Sam informs Michael, Jess, and Fiona. Fiona presses one hand to her earpiece, frowning as she can barely hear Sam. “Mason Brown is the leader. I see five more. Be careful. There could be more.”

“Acknowledged,” Michael replies. “Fie, Jesse, to the left. Sam, you will be our eyes. I’ll be the only one going down to the cabin. If this goes sideways, I want you to get Y/N out there.”

“Mike, that’s the worst plan we ever had,” Sam complains.

“Sam, can you repeat that? I didn’t get that,” huffing Fiona flattens behind a tree as Jesse points toward Michael who makes his way toward the cabin. “Michael, wait for us.”

“Fiona, can you shut up for a moment? Mike wants you to provide backup. Let me just keep an eye on the bad guys,” while Fiona gives Sam the finger, the man himself tries to keep track of the enemies. “Two to your left, Fiona. Jesse, three more to your right. We will keep it low for now.”

“I’m on it,” Jesse looks at Fiona. “Fiona, how about we prepare something nice for them? Any ideas?”

“I didn’t bring a bag full of goodies for no reason…”

“Tea?” Nick gives you a lopsided grin as you glance out of the window. “Or do you want a drink? Maybe some whiskey or vodka? I found the good stuff in the kitchen. Hidden behind the sink.”

“Can I ask you a question?” he steps closer to you to run his fingers over your neck up to your chin.

“Of course, babe,” you wonder how he can look at you the way he does and feel nothing. Nick is a damn good pretender, maybe the best you ever met. “Do you want to have a drink now?”

“Did you plan on sacrificing me from the beginning or after Mace burned my house down,” he swallows thickly as you press your gun to his crotch. He pales as you unlock the gun and do not even bat an eyelash. “Spill it, Nick.”

“In the beginning, I needed a place to hide,” Nick splutters as you press the gun harder into his crotch. “I got a call from Mace on your landline. She wanted to meet up with me. Mace said I can have my job and life back if I…”

“Give her someone better? Like me?”

“Yeah,” he licks his lips. “I would’ve never hurt you. You must believe me, Y/N.”

“You only wanted me to end up in a cell somewhere in the middle of nowhere,” you sarcastically say. “Tell me, how far would you go to get your job back.”

“I already went too far…”

“Did you burn my house down? Huh? Did you kill my fucking cat?” he drops his gaze and nods. “Wow, you’re a heartless bastard who is willing to betray anyone in order to serve your own self-interest. I can’t believe I ever loved you.”

“Just give me him, Y/N. Mace only wants to bring your friend down,” Nick tries to convince you to save your life and sacrifice your friend.

“Chuck doesn’t have anything to do with the CIA,” you keep a straight face, not giving away that you know exactly what Nick wants from you.

“You know I’m not talking about Chuck Finley,” he tries to cup your face but the gun pressed to his cock changes his mind. Nick drops his hands to his sides, sighing as you get handcuffs out of your pocket with your free hand.

“Put the handcuffs around your right hand and restrain yourself to the bedpost.”

“You can’t be serious, Y/N.”

“Your choice. Handcuffs or a bullet to your brain right now,” you coldly reply. “Chose wisely, Nick. I’m not going to shelter your life. Not after what you did to me this time.”

“Fine, the handcuffs then,” he takes the handcuffs out of your hands and walks toward the bed. “I would’ve never let her hurt you.”

“Sure.”

“It’s the truth, baby,” Nick restraints his right wrist to the bedpost, keeping an eye on you as you walk toward the bed. “Please let’s just get out of here. We can still…”

He doesn’t expect you to backhand him with the gun. “That’s all you will get from me, Nick,” he huffs while blood runs down his cheek. “One more word and I’ll cut your tongue out. Move on the bed, left hand where I can see it.”

“What’s your plan,” he asks as you get another pair of handcuffs out of your bag. “Uh-did you plan on doing naughty things with me?” He smirks as you restrain his left hand to the bedpost. “We still can go for a ride.”

“In your dreams…”

“I can see one of our targets,” Mace informs her team. “Y/N Y/L/N is outside of the cabin. Be careful. We need Nick Fowler alive. He’s our undercover agent. Keep an eye out for our main target.”

You feel Mace’s presence behind you before you hear her unlock her gun. “I thought it would be harder to get you,” she huffs as you don’t even turn around. “The infamous Y/N, star of Nick’s wet dreams and the name he screamed when he came inside of me.”

“Hello Mace,” you look into the distance, smiling to yourself as she tells her team to fall behind. She underestimates you, just like most of the people you worked with. “What took you so long? Did Nick take his sweet time to tell you where to find me?”

“Is he still alive?” she asks, voice laced with concern. You almost believe Mace likes your former lover as she steps closer to you. “Or did you kill him?”

“Not yet,” you ignore Mace presses her gun into your back. “What now? Do you want to kill me or hand me over to your bosses?”

“I can’t let you live,” she replies, without any emotion. “We will tell a nice story about you going rampart with your friend. I had to put you down while Nick took care of our main target.”

“So, this is it? You will shoot me in the back? What a brave woman you became Mason Brown. How will you explain that you shot me in the back? This is not what I call self-defense.”

“Turn around,” Mace pokes your back with her gun. “One false step and you will suffer more than needed. I’ll make it quick if you tell me where he is.”

You slowly turn around and take three steps to the left. “Ready if you are,” you look her straight in the eyes as she aims her gun toward your forehead. “I would rethink your plan. You can still drop the gun, Mace. Nick dragged you into his shit, just like me.”

“I tricked him to get him to go to you. You’re just collateral damage,” smirking darkly Mace looks you up and down. “I never understood what Nick saw in you. But you are useful after all. Now, tell me where Michael Westen is, and we can make this quick.”

“Right behind you, sweet cheeks,” you smirk.

“Fine. I’ll find him without your help.”

“Oh, you want to kill me?” you chuckle darkly. “Did you ever hear of the spot where the brain stem meets the spine.” You point at your forehead. “I don’t think you will be able to pull the trigger.”

“Do you think I’m stupid or weak? Well, you are terribly wrong,” Mace wants to pull the trigger; wants to end your life but just like you said, she’s not able to do so. She drops dead to the ground, blood seeping out of the bullet hole in her forehead.

“Good job, Sam. Thank you for having my back.”

“Good thing I hid that nice earpiece for you, darling,” Sam chuckles. “Let’s take care of the rest now…”

“Y/N,” Michael hurriedly makes his way toward you to drag you behind the cabin. All hell breaks lose after the team heard the gunshot. “Sam, can you see them?”

“I’m on it,” Fiona coos. “Just a min-“ an explosion makes you shriek as your ears ring and Michael presses you into the wall to shield you with his body. “Three down, two left.”

“Gotcha,” you can hear Jesse and Sam yell orders at each other while Michael refuses to let go of you. “Another one down.”

“One left,” panting heavily Fiona calls for backup. “He’s running toward your position Sam. Watch out.”

“Not on my watch,” Sam fires his last bullet, hitting the last man standing right in the chest. “Shit, I only slowed him down.”

“I got him,” Jesse runs toward Sam’s position, gun aim to bring the last enemy down. “End of story for you.”

“I told you to stay away,” you take deep breaths as Michael walks next to you into the cabin. “Why did you come?”

“You saved me more than once,” he casually says, not wanting to admit he was worried about you. “I owe you more than my life.”

“What will we do with him now?” you look at Nick restrained to your bedpost, one of your panties stuffed into his mouth. “He knows you are back. We can’t let him go.”

“He still got this burn notice, doesn’t he?” Michael cocks his head to look Nick up and down. “How about we make a call?”

“I don’t know,” you look at the gun in your hand. “What if he…”

“Y/N,” Michael takes you to the side. “I know you hate that man, and that he ruined your life for a second time. But believe me, you don’t want to kill him.”

You look Michael straight in the eyes and search his face as he tries to convince you to come with him and leave Nick behind. “Let’s make that call then…”

Four hours later you are on your way toward an unknown future while Nick sits in the back of a car, handcuffed, and left behind by the only person who could’ve saved him.

He smirks darkly as the agents keep on asking questions he won’t answer. He squeezes the paperclip he’s hiding in the palm of his hand, waiting for his chance.

“You will tell us all, Fowler. Every single sin you committed,” one of the agents turns around to look at Nick in the back of the SUV. “And we start with the disappearance of former CIA agent Y/L/N and the death of Mason Brown and the tag team.”

“One way,” Nick starts to sing as the agent frowns deeply. “or another,” his features darken before he kicks the first agent in the face. The car starts to skid when Nick uses the momentum to open the handcuffs.

“What are you doing?” Nick is fast to get his hands on the last agent in the car. “Nooo!“

One way, or another, I'm gonna find ya

I'm gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya

One way, or another, I'm gonna win ya

I'm gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya...

- The End? -

A couple of weeks ago I asked about people’s favorite book or books they read this year. Between Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and discord, I have a list of 123 books in no particular order that my friends and family loved this year. If it was a series then I listed the first book. Each star is an additional recommendation. I haven’t read all of these, they may or may not reflect my personal opinions, though my favorite books are on the list too. The most recommended books were How Far The Light Reaches by Sabrina Imbler, one or all of the Murderbot books by Martha Wells, and Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki, because if there’s one thing my friends have in common across platforms, it’s that you’re all nerds (affectionate).

Chicken Back Again my Style

I left out the beginning because I found it good enough for my version to stay the same.

Content Warning: fictional S**cide attempt. If this triggers you don't read and say safe

A spaceship landed at SLURP, Glargg glared at three aliens who walked out.

"We're looking for Chuck Chicken, we need to vaporize him!" The red one demanded.

"Wasting your time! Chuck is lost in deep dark space forever and worse than that we lost an evac pod too and we all know how EXPENSIVE THOSE ARE!!!" Glargg screamed

"Well, he's not here, let's go home." The tall alien was stopped by the purple female.

"Nice try, but that excuse is old." The purple one stated.

"Don't take a step closer." Glargg tried to get in the way.

"Um…" The tall one stuttered. Glargg looked at him, something about him was familiar. He buried his face in his hands and started to cry.

"Glargg is no better than Mother!" Glargg whimpered. Chuck, who was disguised as the tall alien, frowned at this but then he noticed his new comrades sneaking away so he had to follow them.

Finley and Starley sat in the lunchroom trying to feed a cardboard cutout of Chuck. Niven and her possy came in to rain me their parade.

"Your butts are where OUR buttons wanna be!" Niven chuckled. Finley and Starley tried to think of a comeback but it was usually Chuck who was able to roast her.. "And forget about Chuck, he's gone."

"Hey!" Hugo rushed in on his stubby legs. "Chuck isn't even here to defend himself and you're mocking him?!" Everyone gasped. They had never seen Hugo be angry at anyone before.

"We just wanted to… Lighten the mood." Niven smiled nervously.

"Well you're doing the worst job ever!" Hugo barked at them. Niven, Dweezil, and Zonk then actually looked slightly ashamed, especially Niven. She turned around, leaving her boy buddies behind.

"I didn't know you had it in you." Ainta told Hugo. "No offense."

"I want to be alone…" Hugo sighed. PiPi was finished recording Hugo's outburst.

"Hugo is capable of anger, this will be great great pass on." PiPi giggled.

"Don't exploit the loss of Buck like that, he meant a lot to Hugo." Adele frowned.

"You act like you care about that, but you don't even know his name." Narci scolded her.

"Says the girl who threatens him just because he can be a little selfish!" PiPi scolded Narci. Everyone started to blow up in the cafeteria, Finley and Starley lowered their heads and walked outside. Starley burst into tears again, Finley patted her shoulder lightly. Suddenly two weird looking creatures picked up Starley and Finley and carried them into a secret room they found when they snuck to the academy.

"What are you doing with those… Creatures?" Chuck questioned.

"They look just like Chuck's siblings!" The red alien chuckled.

"And we need to find out where he is." The purple one stated.

"Wait… Let your captain handle this." Chuck got in the way, the two obeyed. "So this brother… What's he like?"

"He was selfish and annoying-" Finley was interrupted.

"I knew it…" Chuck sighed. "Ahem, I've heard terrible things about him, he's the worst and doesn't deserve anything good in life."

"No!" Starley gasped.

"You didn't let me finish…" Finley teared up. "Chuck was selfish and annoying but he still had a good heart!"

"And we would do anything if he would come back to us, so we could hold him in our arms and never let go for even a second!" Starley teared up. Chuck gasped and made his own tears.

"Then why didn't you look for him?" Chuck scolded.

"We did… We looked everywhere but… We found his abandoned pod… He wasn't in there and it was destroyed." Starley whimpered.

"I wish we could take back every bad thing we said about him!" Finley sobbed. "I'm a failure of a brother!"

"Me too!" Starley hugged her older brother tightly.

"Good job breaking them!" The red alien laughed. "Since their brother is gone and these two love him so much… They will be vaporized so their money will be taken!"

"Isn't there a way to take it without destroying them?" Chuck asked.

"Yes, but it wouldn't be as fun." The purple one scoffed.

"No! I order you to stop!" Chuck commanded.

"You can tell us what to do except for how to do our jobs!" The red one slapped Chuck's helmet revealing his red hair. "Chuck Chicken?!"

"It's true." Chuck scowled. "And I won't let you hurt my brother and sister!"

"Who should we vaporize first?" The red one questioned.

"Me! I'm the one you want!" Chuck pleaded.

"Chuck! No!" Finley and Starley screamed.

"It'll be okay." Chuck smiled. "I'll be a hero and finally get the respect I deserve."

"Chuck, please stop!" Starley begged.

"Chuck!" Finley pleaded him to turn around.

"I love you, and I'm sorry." Chuck was about to be vaporized by that machine, but then something got in the way. Hugo was vaporized into a pile of ash. "Hugo?!"

Hugo immediately turned back to normal, and indestructible. Seeing the Get Em Backs were distracted, Starley rushed over to steal their lazer guns and smash them. Finley rushed over to Chuck and motioned him, Starley, and Hugo to follow him.

"Look at them… all looking out for each other." The purple one sniffled. "We shouldn't be chasing debts… We should reunite our family by finding Croc!"

"You're so right!" The red one sniffled. "But… Can we destroy them anyway? Croc does need some apology gifts."

"Yep, and nothing says "we're sorry" like a few trophies." The purple one smirked as they pulled out new laser guns. Suddenly the two saw a large green towering figure, the principal from earlier. He picked them up by their clothes and put them inside an evac pod.

"Go as far from here as you can and never come back or else Glargg will grind you into nothing but miniscule space dust!!!" Glargg screamed. The two obeyed and drove off.

"Chuck, you almost let yourself get destroyed for us!" Starley looked more sad and worried than grateful when she touched Chuck's shoulder.

"Chuck, you could have gotten hurt." Finley scolded him lightly.

"But would it have mattered? I would be gone and nobody would ever have to see me again." Chuck sighed. "I thought my new sibs could handle me but they hated me…"

"Chuck, we're your sibs no matter what. We may not get along sometimes but we will always be a family." Starley explained while Finley nodded right away.

"And Chuck, when you left, I felt a part of me go missing as well." Hugo confessed.

"Don't ever think like that again." Starley told her younger brother.

"It's so hard though." Chuck whimpered.

"We're really sorry." Finley sniffled as he held Chuck's arm.

"We should have never tried to ditch you like that." Starley held Chuck close. Hugo nuzzled Chuck's face. The four walked out of their hiding place and Glargg smirked with satisfaction after getting rid of the Get Em Backs, but then he saw Chuck.

"Chuck… It can't be. You're back!" Glargg picked up Chuck and held him in his arms, squeezing him tightly. "Glargg was so worried you were gone forever!"

"I'm not BliBli…" Chuck sighed.

"You're just as important as her, if not more!" Glargg nuzzled Chuck's forehead.

"Glargg." Starley climbed to his head and whispered near his antennae. Glargg turned a bit pale, he looked at Chuck with panic in his eyes.

"Chuck… Glargg is so sorry." Glargg whispered. "Glargg was too hard on you."

"I deserved it though." Chuck replied.

"No." Glargg squeezed him even more tightly. "Never try that again, you mean so much to your siblings and Glargg too!"

"I… Okay…" Chuck sighed.

"You're staying with Glargg for a while, you're not to leave Glargg's side without approval." Glargg commanded, this time gently.

"Fine." Chuck sighed.

"Glargg just wants to make sure you're safe." Glargg told him. Glargg's heart sank when he noticed how surprised and confused Chuck looked. Glargg carried Chuck away and placed took him to his room. Glargg gently placed the chicken on his bed. Chuck yawned. Glargg was about to leave Chuck by himself so he could sleep in the couch, but his shirt was tugged by Chuck's hands.

"Don't go…" Chuck gave Glargg puppy eyes. "I don't want to be alone…"

Glargg sat next to Chuck and rubbed his hair. Chuck felt very relaxed as Glargg continued this until Chuck was fast asleep. Glargg forgot how relaxing and satisfying it was when he was taking care of one of his chickens. He assumed because they were much older, they didn't need him nearly as much. But he realized he was very wrong. Chuck needed him more than ever and he silently promised to protect the young one no matter what.

"Glargg?" Starley saw Glargg on his bed, cradling Chuck. Starley was with Finley, both looking very concerned about Chuck, though they were more at ease when they saw he was asleep with the protective Glargg. "We want to stay with Chuck too."

"Please?" Finley added.

"What's two more?" Glargg sighed. The two sat next to him, Starley leaning on his side. Finley was less snuggly but he fully enjoyed being next to Glargg for the first time in a long while.

The three watched the baby of the family being asleep.

"We're here for you Chuck, forever…" Starley whispered.

Last year 2023 was a good year for games. I feel like I bought several great games, but I also bought a few bad games. I feel like I wasted $76.21 on two games; Bowser's Fury and Fall of Porcupine.

Bowser's Fury is a good game, but it’s not a game that I personally enjoyed. I only bought the game because a long-distance friend “encouraged” me to buy the game. I really only bought the game, so we could play together since we’re in different states and can’t hang out, but we only ever played for three hours, and I didn’t enjoy the game enough to finish playing the rest of the game alone, so I don’t feel like I got my money's worth out of it… I give myself a $100 gaming budget a year and I mostly buy indie games, and when I buy games that are over $25, I try to play the whole game to make sure that I’m getting my full money’s worth. With that being said, I still really enjoyed the three hours that I played with my friend, but I don’t think spending $60 for three hours was worth going over my spending budget.

As for Fall of Porcupine… that shit is just a waste of money… honestly, you’re better off getting a free doctor mobile game… Fall of Porcupine was a game that I had been following the development of for a year. The release for the game was delayed, and when I got the game I played the full ten hours, but I was ready to chuck my own device in the trash after the first three hours of the game… the game is beyond buggy. I ended up having to replay an entire chapter because the game froze and crashed. Also, the controls on the switch for the mini-games are impossible, especially at the end of the game; not that it mattered because there are no consequences for failing the mini-games. The writing in the game is nonexistent. There is no story. At the beginning of the game, you are misled into thinking this is going to be a mystery thriller with some dark undertones, but then the game does a complete 180 right after the cutscene, and it’s like the beginning of the game never happened. Also, there’s no climax. Throughout the game there were like two different times when I thought the game's story was climaxing and was going to get interesting, but it never happened. The climax of the nonexistent story doesn't happen until the very very end of the game were your rushed to the finish line without getting any answers. The ending of the game is so abrupt that it doesn’t even feel like an ending. The game’s graphics are pretty, but the town feels too empty to be interesting and the npcs don’t really have anything to say, and also there’s no story.

There were a few things that I did enjoy about Fall of Porcupine. It was a cute looking game, but didn’t feel like a $20 game. I like the main character, Finley. He had some related moments, although I’m sad that when his plant died his plant was never brought up again. I also really like a few of the patients. That’s like the only time I feel like the writing was the strongest was with some patients that we looked over for a few in game days. My favorite patient was the tortoise patient who, I unfortunately can’t remember her name. Unfortunately, her last story was ruined for me because that’s when my game crashed, and I had to replay her final story again.

The worst part about Fall of Porcupine is that the game developers aren’t crap developers. They made Beacon Pines, which is a really really good game, and Beacon Pines had me engrossed in the story until the very end, which had a great ending to a mystery cozy kinda horror game. I just hope that Fall of Porcupine isn’t a sign that the developers future games are going to have the same poor quality. Although, I am aware that not all games from one developer are going to be good, but it just didn’t feel like the developers cared for how bad the quality of Fall of Porcupine was. It honestly felt like a cash grab game.

I’m surprised that there are a few people who found the game good, which no hate for those who like Fall of Porcupine, but I personally found the game really boring and had a lack of writing for what the developers had promised. Especially when you take into account the developers' previous game, Beacon Pines, which outshines Fall of Porcupine in so many great ways, especially in the writing.

I do recommend checking out Beacon Pines, but definitely not Fall of Porcupine.

On June 22nd Shohei Ohtani made Major League Baseball history. He was chosen to not only be a pitcher but a position player this year, at the Mid-Summer Classic, in Seattle. Ohtani has been voted as the starting-designated hitter for the American League, and this will be his third consecutive year pitching, having started in 2021.

SEBASTIAN MORAN: INVITE. FOR THE SENDER TO INVITE THE RECEIVER TO A QUICKIE. casual had been their style from the start. if they happened to be in the same city at the same time, that's when they would meet up, entertain each other into the late nights and early mornings of their days, and then go their separate ways once they were satisfied. if there were real feelings, neither of the men spoke of them, and finley was fine with that. it was easier that way ; easier to walk away at the end of their hook ups. the text came not long after sunset, a short message inviting finley to the hotel sebastian was saying at ( much nicer than his own, he had to admit ). a response of an acronymed on my way was shot back, fin sliding on his chuck taylor's and hopping into his mustang, following the directions that led him to the hotel. room number was given to him, and he approached the door with nonchalance, knocking twice with rough knuckles. when seb opens the door, fin wonders if he needed to say anything at all. then, knowing he couldn't keep his mouth shut, he greets sebastian with, 'i'm here t'make all your dreams come true,' @gunbash.

For the 3 names and a number thing. Let's do 1. With Dax, Cash, and Trent🙃

You, Des, are a monster. Why are you doing this to me!? Every time! But fear not, my boys...I will cheat my way out of this.

stab, shoot, or drown

I will stab Dax. With a fake plastic knife, while we are out trick or treating with Finley. He's gonna be annoyed, but Finley will enjoy every second of it. Which makes Dax less annoyed with me.

I will shoot Trent with a water gun. We will have a friendly game, me and Kris vs Chuck and Trent, and we will beat their asses.

I will drown Cash. I will shower him so much with my love and affection, he'll think he's drowning...in a good way.

[videoviolence]

the things I do for my faves <- gonna watch a chuck norris horror movie just to see william finley for like 5 minutes probably

TED LASSO: TELL ME THE TRUTH, AT LEAST ONCE. it's a risk. even being with ted was. there was a reason finley never gave himself the chance to get close to people, and it was because his affections came with a death date. it's like he was cursed to be alone, and he had been trying to keep his distance from anyone who dare try and worm their way into the tough exterior of finley's heart. ted, unfortunately, had managed to do so. and it seems the way fin was continuously trying to push him away, while simultaneously trying to pull him close, was beginning to wear him down. he supposed he couldn't blame ted, not really. it had to be exhausting, putting up with him. 'the, uh... th'truth's dangerous, teddy,' fin finally murmurs, glancing down at his chuck taylor's as his lips purse. 'i've already put you at risk. being here...' finley shakes his head. 'you deserve t'know, i just... i don't wanna lose you, too,' @belasso.
