I am just going to do a share what’s in my brain post which I guess could be counted as a sort of newsletter that people send out so if you are subscribed to my blog you will get an email informing you of the random things I have in my head as well as my frustration with my cat as they cause chaos of my life.

What I also want to do is kind of share some of the things that I have run across the Internet and what I find fascinating this week.

As many of you know I kind of elm always on a continuous treasure hunt for stupid trivia I will have no use for it in my life but pirates — historical not modern-day — always been a fascinating subject for me. I think it’s interesting that you cannot really separate the mythos from reality where pirates are consumed but it is always fascinating to see how their societal strata operated both in the New World and Asia.

Now that I have gotten the cat out of my coffee… I can talk about my love for the storytelling in this video game called Lies of P. I don’t necessarily want to play the videogame because often times they frustrate me and rely a lot on combat which I could learn but let’s face it, not only am I lazy but if I’m to spend that much time playing the game I would rather write that said I do like to sometimes watch someone do a game walk-through and Lies of P is actually based on the original telling of Pinocchio. I love the game developers take on this and the graphics are incredible as well as the multilayered story that they’ve built into this game. It actually reminds me of a very well-crafted White Wolf storytelling adventure run by a very good DM. There are several different streams of walk-through and I find myself comparing different gamers’ personalities as they comment on their experiences as they play the game. I actually found somebody I really enjoyed listening to as she played not only because she’s enjoying herself but also she stops and reads everything which is very critical to somebody who has no intention of playing the game but wants to know what’s going on.

I actually recommend at least going to look at it because it is fascinating storytelling.

I think those are the only two things that I’m going to really get into on this post because I do have a few other things but I want to talk more about them. Let me know in the comments what oddities you enjoy doing that other people look at you and say what the hell are you thinking? To be fair I get that a lot.
