The Schism
It is approaching that point in my life where a decision must be made. This decisions effects will ripple throughout my life, my timeline, and possibly through many others’ as well. There are many possible core paths for me to take. However the decisions that create these paths will come to pass in the next 3 years. Here’s hoping I choose to make preperations for the correct path.
Sincerely Your Emperor,

Advent Rising
Hey All,
This is a game I haven’t played in roughly Four years. I first found it on the discount shelf in Game Stop during my freshman year of College; I believe it was a Tuesday. Ah GameStop’s and college, such an perfect union
, but I digress. I went home installed it and began enjoying it from the start. The game started out by getting us acquainted with universe where the humans existed. They existed on a planet called “Edumea,” and the story starts with you playing as Gideon, the main character, as you pilot a shuttle into your space station, and prepare to meet the alien’s who’s ship has just appeared in Orbit. Edumea was similar to earth, and they apparently had a myth that they had lived on another planet and after an attack they fled to Edumea. But that is enough of the story for now. I played for an hour or two just after installing it and then went back to doing whatever work I had to do.
I had no classes on Wednesdays until 3:00 PM, so I decided to play for a few hours while killing time until class when I woke up the next morning a little bit before 8. I was hooked. I played for a few hours with my roommates coming and going from class, I remember at one point I was starting one level and my roommate, Jay, was leaving for class. He came back a short while later, felt to be about 20 minutes, while I was part way through another level. The conversation went something like this:
“Hey Jay, Forget something? Your Keys?”
“What?”
“Oh was class cancelled you came back pretty quick.”
“Dude I left like 2 hours ago”
“HOLY SHIT, This game has made me lose track of time”
He had left around 11:00 am it was now 1:00 PM and I hadn’t eaten lunch, not even sure about breakfast. So I decided to play another level or two then go grab some food, since I still had 2 hours. I keep playing, my other roommate, Ian, gets back and it’s 2:30 now. I just go “Oh Shit” pause the game, get my shit together, run out the door, and grab food in the café before class.
I tell you about that to just give you an idea how strong the story is for that game, hell it was written by ORSON SCOTT CARD! Now there are some downsides. There are a few glitches, and the controls work well for the most part. The game could have used a bit more time in the oven; it would’ve been solid gold (somewhat like the color of the box), instead of only 14K.
To this day it is one of my favorite games ever, but due to some issues on the console platform it came out on first, it lost a lot of possible sales, and the PC version didn’t do well enough because of the poor Xbox reviews. This was supposed to be the beginning of a trilogy that I will sadly never get to see the end of, but here’s hoping some company see’s the diamond in this rough.
I installed this game recently and lost track of time again over the period of a few days and a few nearly sleepless nights. Even though this game may never get its story finished, I Highly recommend you go and pick it up if you can get past the early 2005 graphics. If you enjoy a story go get this game. You’ll love it.

Some Updates on Life, and some info about the Site
Hello Minions,
It has been a while since I posted. Business, side projects, expanding my empire, you know the deal. Lately I have had some access issues, due to public internet hotspots having routing issues, but I have found a way around that now. A trip to my dominion of the north has been planned for sometime soon. It will be an interesting excursion, I can’t wait; even your emperor needs a break from time to time.
As of late I have been working on doing several tasks, networking with more people, training some lower minions the way to help and teach people so that life can be better, as well as how to find flaws and fix them when possible. Maybe when enough people are taught the ways to interact better with your fellow societal members, your lives will be better.
In other news, I am currently contemplating setting up a dwelling, temporarily or permanently, out in the western area of the North American content, possibly in the region that has been known as California. There are some organizations I feel it would behoove me to add to my associations. On top of that there is an intellectual institution that I feel would benefit S.P.O. Spartan, as well as myself, were we to attend.
Those are the current happenings in the Empire. There is more but it avoids my thoughts at the moment. Talk to you soon my minions.
Sincerely,
Your Emperor,
Animalistic

Short Stories
Hi All Spartan-104 here,
So I have decided on some projects I will be working on, I am enjoying this story class so much, that I think I may slowly start expanding the short stories I start, and will probably post excerpts here as I create them. I feel it will give this site, “A nice bit of flavor along with your other reviews and content in between Animalistic’s updates.”
Hope you are looking forward to the musings of an active mind.

Runaway train never coming back.
Hey All,
For a class I am taking I had to write something about being stuck on a run away roller coaster car. Feel free to let me know what you think.
Runaway Roller Coaster Car
It was a warm day, all though it usually is in mid-august without a cloud in the sky. Somehow they convinced me to ride with them on the roller coaster today; I guess I just got sick of saying no. It was one of those roller coasters that has you suspended from the rail in something like a car seat with roll bars, rather than sitting in a car all buckled in.
It started with a jerk, and then off we went on this death trap of amusement. Everyone around me looked on with tight lips and wide eyes, ready for all the twists and turns of this ride, while all I could see were the triple loops and turns at unnatural angles. We were almost to the top of the first incline, I couldn’t see much but the glow of the noontime sun ahead of me so I gripped the handles as tight as I could and then all I felt was the warm air whipping past me at speeds reminiscent of the old drives down the highway in my dad’s sports car on school vacations from years long since past. Something didn’t seem right, near the end of the hill there was a loud crash, I craned my neck and saw that we were no longer attached to the rest of the chairs, there was just the cluster of myself and my 3 friends detached from everyone else. My friends started screaming, we were coming up to the loops and we didn’t know what would happen. I sat there silent, holding on with all my strength as we hit the first loop. We hit the loop slowed down as we approached the peak, it seemed like we were there for an eternity, upside down, no longer in control of our own fate, at the mercy of the ride. The decline from the loop seemed to launch us faster and faster, faces down below us were whipping by in nothing more than a blur, we hit the next loop’s incline with such speed it compressed my entire body. All I could see was a blur of blue, and black as the ground and sky flew by as we left this loop, went through the next, and up a short incline. How much longer was the track? Have they figured out a way to stop us? If I remembered right after the loops it was a decline back to the station. I saw the station approaching but we were moving too fast, there was a line of park personnel all along the station with tools, and medical supplies. We blew by the station and began heading for the incline of the drop that started this runaway journey. I gripped tighter as I stared at the mountain of track that lay before us, smelling the hot summer air. We hit the incline with a lot of speed, and began slowing down. Every inch of track seemed to slow us down more and more, until about half way up this incline, we stopped. We began sliding backwards, at this point I closed my eyes and just hoped we weren’t going to hit anything. We went past the station again, and hit the hill behind the station, went up a bit of it and began sliding forwards again, a lot slower than before. Soon enough we had stopped at the station.
The attendants unlatched all of us. We were okay, shaking a bit, quiet, but ok. The other car was still out on the track, stopped at the bottom of the hill waiting for their rescue. I walked away from that ride feeling awake, and alive. On our way to the park offices, I looked at my friends, and pointed to another roller coaster on the way and said, “Who wants to go for a ride?”

Short Update
Well last night was interesting, I went out with several people to go see a movie, Underworld 3 (Spartan will be posting a review soon). The group I saw it with was an eclectic and … interesting group….eh. Anyway after that, I took a walk to go meet up with some others from the area of and around this domain. On the way, made my presence known to stop a domestic disbute from escalating too far, fun times.
After that stroll I arrived at the Pool Hall/bar/Bowling Alley/Whatever known as Jillian’s but before I was near the door, I heard someone yell my name. Low and behold a friend of mine, a disciple if you will, was working the door for the pool hall. It was good catching up with skinny, he seems be doing well.
I went inside, met up with El Soelcho, and found out the rest were down stairs at the dance club. I decided against the dance club for the night, so we played a quick game of pool. After the game, he returned down stairs to meet with the others, and I went on my way.
On my way out I met up with my buddy once more, talked about some old times, and he filled me in on what he has been up to. I was introduced to his other friend, and then headed on my way to my local dwelling. Decided to go for a long walk on the way, went around the area known as fenway, and down to the old Huntington avenue. Went past the University of the North East, turned around through a side street and headed up towards the Circle of Brigham.
Ran into 2 people on this path, a woman known as Fair Crystal, and A Snow surfer. Saw Crystal first, with who I believe to be her significant other, good seeing her, she is always nice and generally happy. From behind someone tapped my back and it was a slightly intoxicated Snow Surfer. Spoke with both of them for a while, and walked the snow surfer home. After all that I continued my path to the dwelling, returned to find Flyboy, and Deaftone. Spoke wih them briefly, read an article I found interesting, something about “Retrosexuals” in the Newspaper named after the Bird of Fire. The night came to a close shortly after.
As for now I am going to go cleanse, and then begin more work on the site.
Ta ta for now my minions
Sincerely Your Emperor,
