Way Out Here

I've had an influx of strange ideas the last few days. I've been thinking about terrible movies, writing stories and I'm tossing around the idea for a video game called Paperhell.

The player will control a character who works in an office, doing data entry of some sort, and then one day he snaps, and the world around him turns into a vast wasteland of paper. Origami monsters pop up out of the ground, office supplies and furniture start attacking him, and you have to fight your way through the levels to escape. then he starts having moments of clarity again, finding out that the monsters are actually co-workers and then swat units, and he's been killing people the whole time. Then he goes insane again and fights his way to the end. The end of the game climaxes when the player faces his own will to live and you have to do a bunch of button combos to make the player put the shotgun to his own head.

A little over the top? Maybe, but sounds kinda fun to me. Billy figures I should have it made as a flash game, that way we could all play it at work.

I've been flipping back and forth the last couple of days, moodwise. I'll be in the best mood for a bit, and angry as all hell the next. I don't know, maybe I'm just bored. Most of what I'm angry about is work related. I can talk at length about absolutely nothing, thinking about stupid video game ideas, for example, but as soon as anyone gets in my way with work, I go bat-shit insane.

That, and other things got me thinking about simplicity. I've been over complicating things, with work, with money, with my mind.... I went for a drive last night, in the fog and watched the stars. Reminded me of when I would just take things in. Anyway, one thought lead to the next, and I had a nice peaceful, truly serene moment.
