Warning: Sim Stuff Ahead

So, I got 4.7 out last night. Exhausted myself doing it, but I was so close to finishing that I couldn't stop. Especially since I knew I'd get little computer time today.

(Dad's in town, so I offered to take him to the movies today. We went to see the Incredibl Hulk. I liked it quite a bit. I think I favor Iron Man a little more, but it was still pretty darn good.)



I'm really anxious to see reactions to this one. The whole storyline had been pretty much planned from the moment Ian threw me a want to get engaged to Lisa. It feels like it took forever to get to the point where I could tell that story. I feel like I neglected Ian in some of the previous updates, partially because I was too afraid of giving some of this storyline away.

I really didn't want to make Lisa out to be a complete bitch. I wanted to show her side of the story as well, beyond the whole 'heartless romance sim' aspect. There was more to it than that. I think it came through pretty well for her.

For Ian, I hope I got across what I wanted to about his character. About why he was so 'emo'. Most of the responses I've gotten so far have focused on the shock of what happened to him at the end, and I guess that's to be expected. I'm more curious about what people thought about HIM, not the way he died.

The next update is probably not going to be out until mid to late July at this point. I want to finish up the BC if at all possible and I've got a trip coming up next week that will probably get in the way. For the next update there are a TON of tricky, plotty scenes that need to be shot still, so, it's going to take a while.

There are always people who take too much emotional baggage on themselves, even when it's not theirs. Ian struck me as one of those. Sure, he was caught between Elijah and Miranda, but he reacted to it in a way that was sort of self-defeating. And that got to the point where feeling bad felt right--he must have known, deep down, that he and Lisa weren't going to work out, and yet he kept up the illusion of happiness because misery made him happy.

I've got some characters rocking that mindset as well, although Spider Jerusalem doesn't take it nearly as far as Ian did. Cassidy, though...
