You may or may not have heard of the Quest for Glory series of games. They were made by somebody whose name I dont recall quite a while ago. I should probably know who that is because I am intending to include them in my The If You Shea Show Zyngstravaganza. Those of you familiar with video games will be familiar with the Fallout and Elder Scrolls Series. QfG is a predecessor ( and almost contemporary to the early elder scrolls games like Daggerfall ) and has in it the same 'open endedness' that the Fallout and Elder Scrolls games have that make them more like a story play than the regular shoot em ups and platform adventures. You are given an option of three different character classes and the scenario is resolved differently by the three classes. This is a huge difference ( and even huger considering the arena QfG came out in ) to the run of the mill adventure games of the era. You could swing your sword through the quest as a fighter, slink quietly through as a thief, or blast your way through as a wizard. While the quests were very linear ( almost like playing only the story missions in an Elder Scrolls game ) the open startedness of the character creation gave Quest for Glory that subtle feel of a real story play.
The greatest thing about the series is that you could carry your character through from each one to the other. The wizard you made in the first one can be ported with all his stuff ( with some glitchiness ) to the second and all the way to the final fifth game where he becomes a king. Playing the game aright your hero travels from sleepy Spielburg to the warm sands of Shapier then on to a mythical Africa full of Taurna and warriors, then to a strange victorian horror show, and finally to a grecian paradise wherin he must face the final test of a true king - battle. Like in Skyrim - a true king must be both warrior and poet. When I saw that they are making another one I was like WHOOOPIE! And, without looking - this is how I would do it.....
So your a king now. What next? I mean? What more glory is there? Not one but five kingdoms owe their continued existence to you. Cant you rest on your laurels from here on out? No! Five kingdoms may be safe from the quickly rising darkness, but that does not mean the world is secure! One thing that I would necessarily include in a Guest for Glory 'Kings Quest' game is the inclusion of having to manipulate people. You are going to war.. nobly and justly of course, but war nonetheless. Perhaps a return to Shapier? Perhaps a new exotic location like a fantasy India to compare and contrast with the third installments fantasy Africa. Regardless, a true kingdom is plagued with an evil ruler ( fantasy Japan? ) and you the noble hero king must ride ahead of your armies to the lands that yearn to breath free air! There you deal freely with friendly merchants on the infinite credit of a king, and must make the correct tactical decisions for your army. QfG being a single character game at heart - the ultimate success must lie in your hands, but the added elements of having an army at your disposal would be an excellent touch. Having a royal treasury at your disposal will also be awesome. The final question would be ..who is the villain? QfG 1 had an evil witch. QfG 2 had an evil king. I have never beaten 2 and therefor not played three through five. I think four had a mad scientist and five was a great gladiator if I remember my spoilers correctly. If it was fantasy India they could do a demon cow...

Dr Strange Prophecy
One Blog 1 Saturday
As was foretold by prophecy. I shall blog as to wit, why should I write a Doctor Strange script?
Are you aware of the prohibition versus vampires and werewolves in the comic code? I am. The Marvel TM universe skirts the issue by having 'different' vampires. Werewolfism happens, but only in an 'obliviate' hogwartian style fashion. If there is a werewolf there must be someone casting the 'make someone a werewolf' spell. Vampires, a little different story. Ya see, there was this title called Arion The Atlantian.. and this weird pink funky lookin monster guy that was an antagonist for Arion the Atlantean cast a master level spell and created vampires. They cant die ~ unless *all* of them die. And suffer agg damage to silver. Stephen Strange Master of the Mystic Arts ( but not sorcerer supreme of the earth dimension at the time ) almost destroyed all the vampires by reading passages from the tome of Darkholm, but could not complete the spell because his brother Victor was a vampire and ya canna kill ya brother. Right?
My knowledge of the comic code is not the reason I should write a doctor strange script. A man could get a PhD detailing the minutia of my previously vague assertion regarding the use of 'vampires' in the Marvel TM universe.. particularly if they analyse the use of Mobius TM the 'not a vampire but kinda walks like a vampire' ( quack ) element in regards to the whole anti vampire ..and most importantly the 'why' of why vampires and werewolves are forbidden in the comic code.. At least not werewolves and vampires as most people understand them ~ no! Atlantis Vampires equal bueno. Jesus vampires equal blasphemy. Apparently. BUT! The fact that I know the comic code is not why I should write a doctor strange script! Nono!
I am summoning the spirit of Tom Robbins! I shall not backspace! I shall!
I remember the first actual doctor strange comic I actually read. I had seen him and his eye of aggamatto and etc. He had been in a crossover or another. The magic master magician guy. Yeah. Anyway - power pack! Or whatever, but then I read a doctor strange comic. Ya see - Doctor Strange met this guy who was sorta a gold ..dr fate.. ish.. kinda person who wanted all the magic everywhere. The gold guy explained that there was a finite amount of magic in existence and if everyone used magic then no one had allot of it. So ..... the gold guy was going back in time and using Doctor Strange to help him pass through the ages of retroconectivity. Eventually it was the gold guy and Doctor Strange standing at the nearly the dawn of time moment and the gold guy is like 'ok now it is only you and me using magic and now I understand half of everything and let me explain some things and now you have to leave so that I can go to the actual dawn of time moment without you the only other person who uses magic and be the only person who uses magic and then understand all of everything' and he then teleported Dr Strange to the exact moment goldy had pulled Dr Strange out of the time stream and then goldy apparently reached nirvana. And Yeah. Nobody died. There were no fights. It was just a story. The first one of DR S I ever read. This is really no nevermind simply a factoid paragraph.
If you dont know how the comic code fucking works and you have never read a Doctor Strange comic for the sheer love of it then you should probably not even so much as attempt to write a Doctor Strange script. If you have never sold a script to anyone then you are not allowed to join the screen writers guild of America.. If you have never been paid to run a D&D game then you are not allowed to join the table play conductors guild of America... I just made that up up! I have about *that* much prerogative. Are you aware of the nature of the creation of the character known as Damage? Are you aware of how awesome the character called Damage is? Can you explain to me why he is not used more often? Did you like Amalgam? Did you die inside when Ultraverse gasped its last desperate failure ridden breath? How many ( no please do - count - a fucking number ) superheroe characters ( villains bystanders and extras included ) have you *ACTUALLY* created? Hehe, pardon me for leaning on my 1008. Fuck you ;) Im working on it. And,
The reason I should write a Doctor Strange script.. is because I know who the goddam Beyonder is!

Who writes in notepad?
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
:0
Thats how may 'es' it takes to hold a sticker down. I have arabic stickers on my keyboard. Baught it used from a repo repair man in Lancaster CA. I take it as a sign from up above that *I should learn arabic, and read the koran. I have read selections from it translated, and someone told me ( tho I did not read that in the koran, tho there was a passage about 'this word' is why we *wrote* it in koran ~ or at least that is how I read it ) that reading the koran translated is some sort of sin or blashphemy, perhaps heresy ~ heresy is where you deny this soverignty of the church in the matter ..whatever their shit. Right? Anyway - I know I am a heretic and deny the Catholic church to be superior to the Ratiocination Rationalist Church, or Lord MOHr's, or The Almighty America, one of my lesser favorites about society honestly. Thirty billion people ( hehe I like to exxagerate ).
Why am I here today ladies an gentlemen ~ it is because a new blog is more important than playing farmville. You do not have to play farmville. That is the best part of a game. You dont have to play it. You can put it down and do something. I should look for real money that I can make with my meager money. That is how you succeed in life and buisness. What can I do? I can typety talk.
I was promoted to this days new beggining with Proud distaste - this cluttered mess of concept blogs are strong in theory and weak in execution. So whats the theory and whats the execution. Base theory I could talk about bullshit, D&D concepts, or complain about how the such and such is being phttbtt~ed ( I cant say that, but I can do it in my mind, so, fuckit ~ ::resisting:: temptation to name blog Backspace is evil ~~ ::ressisted:will save::) right, where was I, ( technically right at the moment I was thinking of eating a turkey leg at the Ren Fair, but nary you mind that :) regardles should I remain short and focused ~ topical. Use hits on Google to pick stuff, then 'rant' or something once every two thirds of a blog? M, Lord,
"Who uses notepad" I say boldly! I use notepad. All the time and yet I just fucked up my clickpath, for the thousandth time! I used notepad in grade school! You would think that I could ::grr:: I cannot believe how techtarded I am sometimes. All the time with notepad it seems.. creepy to just look at yourself and say 'I do this stupid shit all the time, why?' in mycase it is because I am speckulating on many things ( Zingo, work, life, and the Plannings, .. :bwa'haha, the plannings. I am not that much of a scheemer but I am that much of an artist, and I think of many things, like a thing about internet scams. Anyway, wanna buy a cheap replica watch ~ I am aparently on a mailing list. You could probably find the link if you search your recent spam.
I also am now a youtube producer, and I can upload longer things. Thats cool. They saw serious. "::good::" ;|
So, obviously ~ the link, http://youtu.be/PM0X1_803VA to be transformed into whatever :smile. you like, ah, should probably save the srrs cyber talk to later, ( zoom to 7:24 for a nice short bit of it. I should make a commercial )
I work for a living or stay with family and look for jobs. I have to focus on paying my bills. I havnt made a dime off of anything I have ever done online. I sold 7 books and I think a tshirt like ten years ago. I need to fix this. I am doing badly. Online.
I have a family car. I dont own it. I have a rent house, and I am considering reaplying for food stamps, simply because I believe there is some sort of head of household benefit. Even a hundred dolars adjusted for bills - I think it was bills when I read it. Because I remember it wasnt debt, it was like electricity and gas, but not internet. No landline phone allowance either..
So once a week. throw a tire at the internet and make it short. Brief, concise. Rather to the matter, the point. Make a short thesis and a shorter term paper -- "this is already too long" stop it.

Proudly brought to you today by,
Highlander, Geek-Girl #0, and the Sugar Gamers website!
What happened was that I saw the facebook invite or whatever, and I clicked it and it was on ..my old blogger site.. :0 ..so old it was months since I had attempted to keep a regula blogging rutine. Then somehow the internet disturbed me, an errent little click. I basically ignored it because I told myself I would write a blog about it.. then promptly forgot. Should I write a blog about it? I then asked myself. So great News! Geek-Girl has a special #0 issue online! And, Sugar Gamers is hiring good writers, and I am watching Highlander the kids version! Exciting! Decapitation most certainly, but no gore.. Lightning bolts! Swords are badass. Acting, generally good. First season cinematography was 'better' I think. I started with Like.. sorta, 2~3 season? originally, I had watched all the 'hot new stuff' on Hulu and was like.. what.. else.. and I searched 'watch entire series on Hulu' and I found a link to Highlander on their blog.
So, iam'like what? Am I supposed to write about now, and I have got nothing.. your kidding me, ya know what I got?
A fancy YouTube account! the link, http://youtu.be/PM0X1_803VA to be transformed into whatever :smile. you like, ah, should probably save the srrs cyber talk to later - My next blog will be 'why I should write a Dr Strange Script Treatment' ..on notepad.
Check out the show, not the website - the facebook or the you tube, actually I do a facebook thing that I should autolink here,
I gotta figure out how to do that..
I am so busy working and sleeping..
Maybe that will be the topic of my next blog, after the next, or the one after the next one that is the next time I remember to try and do that after I write maybe two or three of these things { I could ramble on } commercial! https://www.facebook.com/groups/134329279034/members/
