A Little King Story

And about 5 more that i cannot think of at this moment

I know a lot of these games are fantastic, and i dont know exactly why i bought them if i haven't had so much as a desire to play them. I have almost put in, 3 play through's of Borderlands on the PC and Console combined and now im playing the Halo Beta. Im not exactly sure why i haven't stepped outside my bubble and played these games. I did recently move and the yard has been a priority, but now that both are out of the way, i can get down to business right? What else is my excuse? To be honest i have none i should enjoy more things and less of the same stuff that i feel comfortable with. So let the games begin!

PS. Ohh and Alan Wake is coming out soon! ;)

Researching

So this gentlemen (Dean Wesley Smith) over at a Science fiction blog lays it out and tells you to stop putting off that story because it "needs to be heavily researched". Stop putting it off because if its "Fiction" then its make believe anyhow, what matters is that the details need to FEEL like they are real, they just don't have to be 100% accurate. If its a time peace... well thats a bit different because introducing matches into a story at an earlier time.... not so good.

I'm so glad that i read this, because the story for my game is a story that i believe needed to be researched quite heavily. It involves the Human Evolution, Deep sea technology and a various degrees of scientists and what they would act like on a job site. I feel like i should sit down and get some writing done tonight.

Here is the read if you are interested.
