It's very obviously a middle story in a trilogy, one that wraps up its own narrative while keeping plot threads open. Good stuff. :)
That's awesome. Makes me want the game, which I hadn't been giving much thought into buying...

Dragon Age is still hard? XD
Yeah, I guess.

I haven't really picked it up since I got stuck, but I've been doing other things and working on other games, you know? :P

Haha. Maybe when I was a kid. Now... not so much. I don't do all nighters.

How do you feel about songs that replace legitimate lyrics with noises?

Would you consider John Steinbeck one of your influences when it comes to writing?

Since I've been reading East of Eden, I've noticed some similar writing qualities, so I was curious. :D

Not a big fan of it. XD

An influence? Sure. A major influence? I don't know.

What kind of similarities have you been noticing?

I'm not exactly sure... I've just noticed little things here and there that remind me of your writing. When I read East of Eden some more I'll try to find an example.

How's Them Crooked Vultures?

Well, East of Eden was a major novel for me. I'm not sure how it influenced me, but I remember being blown away by it.

thanks for the input. :)

Them Crooked Vultures are good. Problem with the album is that it starts to feel a little repetitive after a bit, so... :/

Since I thought a vulture was a turkey, are you ashamed of me?

Why did you think a vulture was a turkey?

Fun. Got really hard in the fourth campaign, though... XD

It was at an odd angle, and it's head was down.

Would you like to buy a little place in Strongbadia and settle down?

I figured out what it is that I found similar between your and Steinbeck's writing.

Well, actually, it's more the characters than the actual writing. Cathy, from East of Eden, reminds me a lot of Sara from A Wolf at the Door. I'm not exactly sure why, but she just does. :)

Also, have you been working on any other stories, lately?

Eh... only if the price was right. ;)

Huh. Interesting.

Uh... I've been working on some stuff. Dabbling in poetry and working on bits and pieces of stories. I'm still trying to find a pace for myself with life that will allow me to do the things I want to, work and write. Kind of hard to do, especially when writing consumes me. ;)

Not a big fan of those guys, no. ;)
