You know what ticks me off? Ridiculously short demos, especially ones with cliffhangers. That's what happened with me and Geneforge V yesterday. I'm all like, "Y'know, I don't think I like the Shapers. I'm gonna join the Rebellion," and Mekhen(sp?) is like, "Okay. Let's see if your actions live up to your words," and the game's all like, "Give us money so you can play. Bleh!"
Oh yeah, spoiler alert.
...I guess.
Yeah, I realize they can't include the entire game in the demo, but the other demos in the series were huge. I was thinking, "Geez, when is this gonna end?" I've two possible answers: Either this game's really small, or Spiderweb's become really desperate for money.
You know what else ticks me off? Not having a job, so I can't buy the full version.

The Legend Begins
So I have my own blog now. Yeah. Don't know what I'm gonna blog about, but I'll come up with something later. Maybe I could, like, review video games or something. Or blab about daily life. Or, say, just whatever I feel like blogging about.
In today's post, let's stalk about Geneforge or something. I mean, talk.
It's this series of games by Spiderweb Software, about these people who can create life, called the Shapers. They're pretty much the government of the world. There's all sorts of controversy about how they use their creations, which are typically used as pack animals, fighters, or workers. The Shapers are pretty heartless about them. They'll absorb their life force if they need some energy, they'll leave them to die in a dangerous situation.
The latest of the series, Overthrow, has been pretty much consuming my life. A rebellion made up of humane societies and powerful allies has risen up against the Shapers, and you've got to end the war somehow. Yeah, it's actually much better than how I'm describing it.
It's for computer, by the way.
Whew! My first blog post. That wasn't too hard.
