Write Or Die!

An experiment:

Shit! I don't know... Writing under pressure was something that I always enjoyed doing way back when I was still an naive adolescent dumb enough to believe I could make even a dent in the soul-crushing Hollywood shit machine. “Quick Writing” is what twelfth grade English teacher, Simone Waite used to call them. It's one of few morning excercises to which I always looked forward with glee. Some times I wonder where I would be if I hadn't dropped out of college to become a shut-in who later ran away from home and then flirted with and ultimately made a serious pass at suicide only to survive and find himself years later living a rather domesticated, and certainly very practical, life complete with a job and bills and a dog and... well I suppose there's still one thing missing. Is it still two-thousand nine?

As I live and breathe! Today EA announced “American McGee’s Alice 2!” As someone with a massive, blood-filled erection for the books I adored the first “Alice’s” darkly-stylistic take on Wonderland… “Alice 2” will also becoming to consoles which gives me an excuse to postpone upgrading my PC yet again... There will be a gaint snail fight, apparently.

Into the great beyond!

Faults not withstanding, Mass Effect was awesome. Last week EA and BioWare announced ME2 for release sometime next year. This has led some, including yours truly, to wonder about which of the monumental endings the sequel will take into account when you boot up a new game. Some have theorized that you will fill out a survey similar to the one you filled out at the start of Mass Effect 1. Other still are wagering on BW acknowledging the “logical” ending. Frankly, I’ll put my money on the former possibility.
