Today, I… demonstrate that the figures of Norse mythology are less fictional than previously thought

I hope you all come away from this knowing just that little bit more than you did before. Knowledge is half the battle! Hopefully the half of the battle before all of my guys retreat in a total panic and get slaughtered… stupid unit AI in Rome: Total War. >:O

Today I am going to talk for a little while about my favourite and a half thing in the world: Choose Your Own Adventures! Wait. I’m wrong. Adventures are great and all, but I prefer something in the variety of a nightmare… and I was not disappointed. Choose Your Own Nightmare!

I only had the first title in my collection (the werewolf-orientated book seen above), but I have to admit that the concept behind

is an intriguing one! If I were a famous film producer, this is the point I would be saying, “Richard Brightfield, I am a famous film producer and here is a lot of money. I want you to take your book and make me this summer’s blockbuster.” and then Richard Brightfield would say, “Do you mean the one about the magical mirror that turns people into freaks?” and I would say, “I know it sounds stupid but come on.” and then we would probably have some more witty banter and then go to lunch.

It is getting a little bit late and I have some time free on my hands… what would be a good use of the time I have left? Given the choice: I’d like to fulfill one of my childhood fantasies by going camping in the woods of Maine, having a horrifying but non-fatal encounter with a werewolf or serial killer or bigfoot of some variety, and then maybe finish off the day back at camp with a big bowl of hale and hearty camping chili? Would I like to do that?

Yes. Yes I certainly would. :|

But unfortunately an Atlas has just interrupted my train of thought with a cow of reality on the line… Maine is at least one fair-sized continent away and it gets dark soon. Looks like that’s a childhood fantasy fulfillment for another day! :(

Maybe another time, Jason? :(

So instead I have decided to spend the afternoon looking for an old Atari that I AM POSITIVE is still around here somewhere. WILL my efforts be in vain?! Find out tomorrow! (It could even extend into the realm of a… trilogy?)

But here are two final links; one to today’s dinosaur comic that I really “dug”, and the second to a slightly less dinosaur-related article from 1up.com about the genteel past-time of cheating in gaming (it validates all of our previously held opinions for us!) Thank you.
