Mmhmm, I did that with EGC, and I suppose here too. xD; When you can't be as active as others, just you just kinda feel guilty.
Ahahah, the game mechanics, or rather how they're introduced is always amusing. XD It kinda confused me at first, but knowing how they work isn't all too important later on in the story. You just have to keep in mind what items and weapons everyone has. -w-
AAAAAAh, character feels. You haven't gotten to my favorite characters yet. xD They're the Alpha kids that pop up in Act 6, but out of the others, I think Dave, Karkat, Sollux, and Vriska are my favorites. I like them all, though. Which is hell. It's dangerous to like anyone in that series too much. You cry many tears.
