In which I write way too much about my first Mr. Store item and then do other ranting.

So after seeing the item of the month for July in KoL (Bottle Rocket Crossbow. Not exciting for me, but kinda neat, I suppose, especially now that I realize you can pick the type of bottle rocket you fire) I decided I wanted the May item of the month. But it isn't may any more. So I went and bought a Mr. A, and then sold that for meat, and then used the meat to buy a Mayflower Bouquet. I was left with like 600,000 meat, too, which is a nice bonus, considering the most meat I've ever had at once in the game was 100,000, when I bought my display case. Anyway, so now I have the bouquet and I can't wait to try it out, but I had already used my adventures for the day. Have to wait until tommorow. Aww.
I wanted, it, though, because it seems like something that's always going to be in effect. If I, say, bought that crossbow, or a familiar, I'd feel obligated to use it all the time, because it bought it. I'd want to get my money's worth. I'd want to always use it's cool effects. But there's always going to be times when I'd want to use a different weapon, or try out a different familiar, or a different familiar would be more appropriate (like for grinding meat or whatever). But the Mayflower Bouquet... it gives +5 to familiar level. I would say 90% of all familiar equipment in the game does that. However, it also gives various other bonuses to things. Increased drops of meat and items. Increase experience and familiar experience. Occasional enemy distraction. And random dropping of flowers that give fun buffs. It is better than any familiar equipment in the game, completely and utterly, that isn't another Mr. Store item (The Plastic Pumpkin Bucket is probably better. The Lucky Tam 'O Shanter, miniature gravy-covered maypole, and wax lips are probably better in some situations. The Wax Lips are almost definately better during speed runs, for example), and those Mr. Store items would be hard to get. Whatever familiar I'm using will probably have the Mayflower Bouquet equipped for as long as I play the game. And that's why I decided it was a good investment.

That was a ton more than I expected to write about that. Wow.

I think we're playing Primetime Adventures tonight. FUCK YEAH. I even think Essner is going to play. It's exciting times. When Essner wanted to do something, I debated pulling out, but he'd do a great job. It's all about improv. If nothing else, I could watch Jonathan and Essner improv all night. They do such a great job. Anyway, I'll let you know how that goes.

What else... watched 2 episodes of Farscape so far. It's not bad. The title has little to do with anything except sounding cool. I don't particularly like any of the characters. They're just kinda there. Maybe that will change. I'll watch more.

In any case, it is Taco Tuesday, a nationally recognized holiday, and I must eat tacos and Potato Ole's and snuggle with boyfriend now, to prepare for Primetime Adventures in the future. AWAY!
