I was hosting what seemed to be a playtest for an upcoming fighting game. Players had to manage a flowing energy resource that provided drawbacks both when it was empty or too abundant. Dispelling the energy called for a dance-like rhythm to the combat. The square button was for a Frame move which featured high stun attacks.

I was watching friends playing fighting games when some asked if I knew where someone else was. “Is he not in the building?” I asked. I told them that I thought I heard their voice earlier today saying “zoo is hell.”

I had moved in with a new roommate and we were given a tour by the building on how to perform various maintenance tasks in our apartment. I attended a lesson on how recycling was sorted while she sat in on one about how to take care of plants. Apparently there used to be a communally kept lizard in the building but it had frozen to death.

I was taking a math test which seemed relatively straightforward but was unable to concentrate at all. My eyes glazed over as I stared at the small notecard of formulas that we were permitted to bring along.

I was with a volleyball team and we had to keep chanting as we walked through a mall.

I was editing a trailer for a game that was animated like an old cartoon. As I watched back on the work I’d done so far, I noticed that it appeared rather homoerotic. The other video I had in progress was an old Harry Potter cartoon which featured a scene where Harry gets sucked into a vacuum cleaner and turned into a sheep to avoid detection from Death Eaters.

I was playing a Control Point game of TF2 which took place in some kind of European city under siege in the middle of the night. We were steamrolling over the BLU team as we captured the point inside of the burning cathedral. The back of the cathedral opened up to a wide boulevard and we were already on the point with x25 capture speed. We thought about backing off a bit to give the defending team a chance until they had nearly captured the first point back.

I was watching a game of Brood War. It was a TvT match between a teal and yellow player. Command Centers were constantly being lifted and landed as a group of tanks was trying to push into an expansion.

I was filming a chase scene and we were debating where the red helium balloon should be in the shot. We were filming parts so out of order that we got confused who in the scene was supposed to be doing the chasing. The actor asked to redo the shot because they felt themselves constantly getting out character for their posture. Someone brought out snacks so we took a break.

We were swimming through a stream in a park and someone wondered what would happen if the river were dammed. I said that there’d probably be a big flood. In that moment they became obsessed with the idea of damming the stream and wanted to create a movement of “human dams”.
