A day of firsts (mainly scary)
Feb. 10th, 2009 09:44 pmToday was the first day I played The 7th Guest, that creepy old adventure game that it's pretty clear to me now Phantasmagoria ripped off at least a little. Scary, but in that good entertaining way.
Today was also the first day I almost got electrocuted on the job. I plugged in my client's computer, apparently to a scarily bad outlet, because there was a huge spark and a pop. The computer is now fried. I was concerned I might have somehow caused this, so I plugged in a surge protector, which actually shot flames for a split second till I unplugged it. (Neither one was all the way into the socket when this happened, so I was able to just let go.)
Exciting stuff.
