How God Must Have Felt

In this installment, I would like tell you about something very near and dear to my heart. Video games. I'm a frequent player and there was one series that stuck out enough for me to become an avid fan. It is the series known as Mass Effect. For those of you who don't know, its a role playing game in which you play as Commander John, or Jane if you choose a female character, Shepard. Your given a mission to save a human settlement, which goes horribly wrong, and your given an vision of the far past, a vision of destruction and pain. You later find you must stop a rouge alien, Saren, from completing his mission of bringing back the Reapers, an ancient race of aliens who are hellbent on destruction and becoming the only all powerful race in the universe.But fear not, my friends, your not alone. Your given six others to accompany you on your journey in the stars, to help you during combat and share their thoughts on the current situation.

Now the reason for the chosen title of this installment, "How God Must Have Felt," was for this one reason: every decision you make, even if its the smallest one, determines the timeline and events to follow in huge ways. You, literally, get to shape the universe into the one you want. It could be one that embraces aliens or one that shuns them. One where crime is completely abolished, as to one where thieves and hoodlums rules the streets. Its yours to decide. But when you reach the end, the final moment where you stand back and look at what you created, its gives you a feeling that makes you think, "Wow... This is how God must have felt..."

And with that, I finish up this chapter of the creation that is my blog. I hope you've enjoyed this as much as I've had typing it. I will type another on the second game, but when the time is right. But for now, farewell, and thank you for reading.
