Choose the Action

As I said in the last post, I've been playing a fair amount of Dragon Age 2 over the past week or so. It gives you a fair amount of choice, even if some events have to happen in certain ways. That made me wonder and let my mind walk down the path of choosing how the event actually turned out. I thought that would be fun to do for my small readership here.

So here's how this is going to work. Right now I'm going to write out the introduction and give you guys your first choice. This will all be off the top of my head. After I finish writing tonight, I'm going to plan out a choice tree that will give an overview of all possible choices given and their outcomes. I'm going to keep this as an either or situation, so as to not spread the votes too thin and so I don't have to plot out all those possibilities.

Once we've reached the end of a particular choice line, I'll post all of them out so you can see I didn't just have one ending in mind from the start. You'll have until the weekend to vote in the comments for this one. I'm going to turn comment moderation on for the time being so that there's not a swarm of votes. If you've got an actual comment, make sure it's separate from your vote comment. Before I get too long winded, here's the actual story.

Conspiring by Candlelight

Would you look at that, I've been slacking again. You think I'd know I do this and try to stop it... or something. But here we are, so this is just the first one of this early morning hour. We can blame Dragon Age 2 for consuming my time. Yes, let's. However, I did I finish my first play through and it was pretty good. It felt unpolished, but was enjoyable.

Now onto the actual post. This one was inspired by current politics and global events as well as the new album by Rise Against, Endgame. At least partially inspired by those. It started out as pseudo poetry, but as you'll see has lost that and gone to prose form. Keep that in mind while reading. As always, after the break.

The Architect

This one is part of an idea I'm tossing around. The name comes from a new song by Rise Against called Architects. I hope to continue this one soon, but I want to get this part out there for corrections and any ideas any of you may have. Can't wait for the feedback.

Love Story

Well truth is I don't know where this one came from, and part of me doesn't want to read it again. Make of it what you will and Freud can eat his heart out.

Scrambled Thoughts

Yes, I've been slacking again. If it is of any consolation to you good folks out there, I have a reason. My creative ideas of late have been staggering... staggeringly insignificant. But without further ado, train of consciousness, GO!

Post Script: It's short and much garbled like my own thoughts of late. Make of it what you will.

Changing of the Guard

I hope you all had a good weekend and Monday. I know I'm still a post or two behind, but I'm trying to make sure I meet the minimum requirements I set for myself now, rather than worry about before. I just finished reading an article on Anonymous' DDoS attack on the group Americans for Prosperity. Settle in folks. This one's likely to be long, political, and a bit rambling while I get my thoughts squared away.
