Descending into Darkness

[darthfar]

OMG.

I just logged onto Steam today to find that my friend Linda had bought me Amnesia: Dark Descent. ^____^ Just two weeks ago, I got her Left4Dead 2 (because she enjoyed the Zombieland movie so much), so she could watch and laugh her head off every time TankMagnet ran away screaming from a Tank/Hunter. Apparently she tried it then (alone) and got scared to bits. On my part, the Amnesia demo had *me* jumping several feet in the air every time a shadow moved. We're obviously going to be competing for the "Who Gets Scared The Most In A Horror Game" crown. LOL.

[goes to grab duvet and a couple of very bright flashlights. Because I really am that big a wuss.]

In the meantime, have you met Montgomery? He's my new 1861 Enfield musketoon (replica) from Denix:

From now on I'm officially in love with your musket. It looks great.

:D

I can't wait till I get my Brown Bess (with bayonet)!

Wow, so your collection is getting more and more impressive! Is your Brown Bess also from Denix? Their replicas are very well made.

(I'm a complete fangirl when it comes to 19th century weapons, you know. Every time I'm visiting a museum that has an old weapon section, my husband drags me out of it practically by force.)

Yeah, Denix! :D The Bess will have to wait until next year, though; the shop I buy my guns from has a shipment stuck at the airport (clearance problems), and Patrick isn't getting any more guns in until those get through. I hear there are several Colts coming in; if one's a Python, it's MINE. MINE!!

Do you own any?

:-D I do wish you a Python in the next delivery, then!

I have only one replica, bougt in France this year, and it's also from Denix: French duelling pistol from 1872. Actually, being in France and not bringing this sort of souvenir would count as my personal failure. ;-) It is also possible to buy Denix replicas here in Poland, but they're quite expensive and I'm not able to start a real collection. But watching how you enlarge yours is a pleasure.
