Choice of Games

[dreiser]

Just got back from Wisconsin with Katie. Had a great time with her enormous family during Christmas. During our drive back I played around on my laptop and found this choose your own adventure type game that Katie and I played. It's called Choice of Games: Romance and the sequel is Choice of Games: Intrigue. It's basically like... magic/adventure/

I'm super happy right now, mostly because I didn't even know you had a livejournal page and now I have this excellent Wonder Woman story to read over my break, as well as older blog posts of yours to check out. But I'm also happy because of this addictive game you've introduced me to. I spent quite a bit of time last night playing through it over and over.

Personally, I thought that I would probably end up with the queen, but I actually found myself liking Mendosa a bit more. I think it was her heartfelt gift. For some reason I find her somewhat clumsy attempts at courtship to be endearing, as well as her general enthusiasm. She actually reminds me of someone I used to know *sighs wistfully*

Although, what sold me was this exchange at the party:

"This is not how things are done," you say--perhaps teasingly, perhaps reprovingly.

"We can choose to change the way things are done," de Mendosa says, smiling.

That's what did it for me. Also, in my mind she's being played by Eliza Dushku, even though Eliza isn't remotely Spanish. :D

So yeah, though I shouldn't complain about something that's free, it would've been nice if there was more story involving Mendosa, particularly after the marriage. I tend to come up with bad or bittersweet endings when I get involved with the queen. I'm just not cut out for life in the court, I think.
