More on The Game

June 28, 2007

You know the one. It’s the one that I’m completely fucking obsessed with. This shit is driving me insane. I know it and anyone stupid enough to come to my place knows it. It’s like I can see it and almost figure it out and I get some kickass idea and play it out in my mind and it works and play it out on paper and it works but then when I go to play it out in my dreams it all breaks and nothing works. It’s like my brain has this brilliant idea but won’t let me in on the secret and that just pisses me right off almost as much as when I find out what those secrets are.

Check it out. I’ve been trying to get a feel for this one area that’s really crazy and it’s cool because I’ve gotten to the point where if I find myself somewhere else I can almost always get back to this point. It sounds simple but it took me like a month to get to this point. So now I have this one area pretty well mapped and have figured out most of the NPCs. At least I think they’re NPCs but some of them are on a loop that I haven’t yquite figured out yet, so I dunno. And then there are what I guess I see as other players – they have more freedom and are different all the time but nobody I know really. Then there are people that I haven’t figured out at all – like the chick I was following around before. I’ve seen her a bunch of different places which makes me think she’s a player and I guess she could be but she seems more important than that somehow. Even if she’s not, she’s fucking hot so I’m thinking she’s gotta be a character that everyone can interact with if you know what I’m saying. Ok, not that kind of game. Whatever. Then there are the cats. I’ve begun to notice them more and more. And I think I know why.

Last night, right, I’m down at this area and doing my thing when the girl walks by and she’s being followed by this cat. Well, the cat just gives me this look like it had some info for me or something and I hadn’t yet talked to any of the cats because, well, they’re cats, so I followed it and her. But the cat didn’t say anything to me which was annoying and reiterated to me why I hate fucking cats. So the girl goes into this bar – it’s a kind of dive bar with no real markings other than this big swan painted on the side of the building by the alley which was kinda cool looking but really freaked me out for some reason. So I’m hanging out in this alley with this cat when the girl goes by and I start to go to follow her but this dude came out from no where and started bitching about cats. Now, from what I could see there was just this one cat and we were in an alley so he was really overreacting. The cat thought so too, I guess, because he totally went after the guy. Now, I may hate cats and all but I couldn’t let the guy just snap it’s neck or anything so went to jump him and he ran off.

By this time, the girl comes back and goes back in the bar. I follow her. Now this place is nasty. It smells like you’ve walked into a butcher shop and there’s blood all over the floor. She walks in like its nothing so what am I gonna do, you know. I mean I can’t just leave her there. But she walks up to the bar rail and starts talking to this complete loser artsy freak that probably bats for the other team. I stand back trying to figure out how to make my move cause there’s no way I’m going to let a putz like him swoop in with some cheesy line. Time to bust a move!

I’m all jacked got my best stuff ready and then I hear them fighting. Hot chick gets up to leave. Nice. I knew he was a loser. I start to run after her when I hear some guy bitching about there being a difference between pussy and pets. What the fuck? Like I’m going to let him talk to her that way. So I turn around to make an issue out of it but he’s already on top of me, picking me up and throwing me out of the bar.At some point, when I was twisting around in the air, I figure it out. I don’t stand a chance with her. I’m a fucking cat.

I’m fucking pissed. I mean who wants to play a game as a cat? Is it a class? A guild? I didn’t sign up to be a cat! This just sucks. Even if the hotties would let me in their pants, I don’t want to be a chick that would be into that kind of kink.

I bet I can lick myself in interesting places, though.
