Guess the Game
Guess the Game
Lets see how people fare, feel free to add more questions (same game can be used multiple times). This is the first (and please don't use google or any other search engines):
If only I could show you the places I've seen, you might understand the things I say. I've been to the desolate lands, wandered by those souls who still see the lands of the living, but wear the cloak of the dead.Blind to their own ends, they cry, passing through one another like shadows, in the dying light of day. I've traveled to where souls rot in torment, pierced with the jagged shards of life and vision, clinging to memory, regrets of the flesh.
I saw that this prison was of their own making, and the key was in unknowing and release.
And still, I traveled on.
And finally, I came to the place where souls go to die, where the mirrored and warm spirits fall into an endless sea of grey mirrored glass. And I lowered myself within, and laid there among them, and I almost did not return. And do you know what I found there? There among the silent and embattered shells of the innumerable? Peace. Enlightenment. Truth.
Only then did I realize this place, this life, is an abomination, a horrible distortion of the natural order. This, life, who mothered pain, and fear, and envy, these twisted children who exist only because we are here to feed them, to nourish them! This, life, this, afterthought! A disturbance, a mere ripple in that grey, dead sea. Not even the cause, but merely an effect, sending these souls upward, screaming for release from the day when they are torn from their waters.
The effect of what, I do not know, nor do I care.
Have you ever spoken with the dead? Called to them from this side? Pulled them from their silent rest? Do you know what it is they feel? Pain. Pain, when torn into this wakefulness, this reminder of the chaos from which they had escaped, pain at having to live. There will be no more pain. There will be no more chaos.
For bonus challenge, tell also where in the game above happens.

Correct. And indeed it is one of the best monologues around.
Now guess where this is from:

That would be correct. Next:

I laughed out loud when I read this:
Morrigan: Have a care where your eyes linger, Alistair.
Alistair: Yes, well don't worry. It's not what you think.
Morrigan: I see.
Alistair: I was looking at your nose.
Morrigan: And what is it about my nose that captivates you so?
Alistair: I was just thinking that it looks exactly like your mother's.
Morrigan: I hate you so much.
Alistair: What?
Morrigan: Never mind

You reap what you sow Artyom: force answers force, war breeds war, and death only brings death. To break this vicious cycle one must do more than just act without any thought or doubt.

H.G Wells once wrote: "If we don't end wars, wars will end us."
And somehow, I stopped my war.
At the time, I couldn't say what had made me spare the Dark Ones. But I came to realize that the strange visions that haunted my journey were their attempts to reach out to us.
I don't know if I were the first to communicate with them, but I will not be the last.
And the future - our future - stretches before us like an endless Metro tunnel.

Rhonda: We're back, with Best Friend Tabitha, who was telling us why humans should STAY THE HELL AWAY!...uh, keep their distance from the State of Utobitha!
Tabitha: Thank you, Rhonda! That's a good point. As you know, one of the many benefits of living in Utolbitha is the ready availability of pet centaurs!
Rhonda: Ooh, I love the centaurs! They're just so cute!
Tabitha: Exactly, Rhonda! Who could resist those sweet little faces, and that cute way they shuffle around on all those hands they have! Haha! But humans must be so caught up with their pleasant features that they forget the most important thing about centaurs!
Rhonda: And what might that be, Best Friend Tabitha?
Tabitha: Centaurs...EAT...HUMANS, Rhonda! You see, humans are a lot smaller and much more tender than you or I! So centaurs naturally see them as food!
Rhonda: Ahh, that would make it hard for them to get along, wouldn't it?
Tabitha: Indeed! Given the situation, I had to make a hard choice when I created Utobitha! Do we invite weak, greedy humans, who would just die anyway, or cute, lovable centaurs, who fight and die for us and ask nothing in return?! After much deliberation, I went with the centaurs.
Rhonda: And there you have it, Utobitha! The next time you play with a huggable, lovable centaur, remember that Best Friend Tabitha made it all possible!
