Well I'm at what I believe is the middle of Fraility, and jeeze did I take me a long while to get here. I'm actually adding to the story now instead of rehashing the same 10 pages over and over and over again, ad infinitum.

My problem with getting there was that I couldn't think of any way to explain what's going on without having to just blantantly jump into the story (myself) and tell you.

Then, Friday night as I was working on one of the slower machines... it hit me. Pretty hard. It was difficult not to just stop working on the job to write it out.

It's currently 28 pages long, with 11 chapters and growing.

In other news, I'm finally getting my scares out of my system with Dead Space. It's a third person shooter with an almost perfect blend of other good horror movies/games.

It's one part System Shock, one part Resident Evil, one part Alien, one part Silent Hill (the games not the movie), and very well balanced with respect to what made those games/movies great.

It does have it's own original aspects to it and the depth of the background information is pretty staggering once you get to it.

A part of me that keeps pushing me forward through the game is simply not having any idea what the connection between "the X" and the "Y's".

There are some cheap scare moments within the game, but for being about 12 chapters long (no I haven't beaten it yet). This game goes for the long haul, which is nice. I still jump at these moments, but they did a really cheap and almost chessy nod at horror movies very, very early on.

I'm trying not to ruin anything, just in case someone is thinking of buying it. Almost all the fun is in not knowing what's around the next corner.

Well I hope everyone else is doing alright. Got any plans for Halloween?
