(Title may or may not be relevant, but it was the first thing that came to mind so whatever)

For those of you who follow my pony writing,(that looks a lot stranger typed out for some reason) I've been stewing on something for about a week now and after consulting with ShyYoungBrony (my personal second opinion and damn near everything these days) I've made a decision.

"In the Name of the Moon" is getting a rewrite.

"A Fresh Perspective" was a dead storyline and at this point it's beginning to drag down were I want this new plot to go, so I'm starting from the ground up.The story as it is now will be preserved in an unpublished chapter which you can find here if you need it for some bizarre reason, and as soon as I have a new first chapter ready all published chapters will be removed.

I've wrestled with this story for quite a while now and I'm really hoping this is the the key to getting where I want to go with it. I've got so much planned out in my head but there was too much baggage in between the here and there.

Here's hoping,
Monky Out.

So after a whirlwind week of working three 15 hour days Tuesday through Thursday, I nearly slept through Halloween. I woke up around one in the afternoon and then spent about four hours playing Payday 2 with ShyYoungBrony. After he turned in I just kinda zoned out to Vinny playing OoT Master Quest before finally addressing the hour and half's worth of Drunk Mario Party footage that's been sitting on my hard drive since July. Long story short, I am a bit of a verbally aggressive drunk. Probably won't be having as much as I did then ever again.

Saturday, Shy and I played even more Payday 2, and after completing a Big Bank Heist and a Free Hoxton heist on Normal and Hard respectively with just the 2 of us and the AI we were feeling pretty good about ourselves. (Even if someone WHO SHALL REMAIN UNNAMED almost blew the big bank by going after a single bag the cops had managed to get to the other end of the map in the final stretch.)

Sunday, Jon and I decided to knock the rust off our Mass Effect 3 skills in preparation for N7 day this Friday. We put in a few hours before swapping over to Dead Space 3 for a while. That took significantly more warm up time. At this point, ME3 is pretty much second nature to me. Even though I hadn't touched it in months, I picked it up and played it like it had been no time at all. Dead Space, not so much. We settled in relatively quickly though and our groove of acting like total morons was found again. I noticed something kinda funny though. Whenever a horde attacked we would always end up in the same positions by the end, Jon stomping wildly at necros I'd knocked over with my ground pound secondary thing, and me holding a slasher arm waiting for something to impale. And then we'd both stomp wildly for loot drops. Because Dead Space.

Yesterday, Watch Dogs came in the mail from GameFly. So far i'm enjoying it. Maybe it's because I like to research as little as possible about a game beforehand so I don't set unrealistic expectations, but having successfully ignored everything about the game since it's E3 announcement, I'm enjoying it quite a lot. My only real complaint is that gun-play can get quite a bit frustrating at times, as often is the case when a game tantalizes you with fun stealth then forces you into open combat. Oh, also, almost all of the radio music is crap, but that's an opinion so meh. I'm digging the actual soundtrack.

So yeah, that was my weekend. The offer to join forces for N7 day is still open, I've had an astronomical 0 takers so far so yeah, slots open and all.

See yall around,
The Monky

Hey everybody. I am Cavemonkynick, or just Nick for short. I'm currently 19 and am in my second semester at East Georgia College. I joined SFO a few years back but never really strayed to far past the Fan-Fiction fourm. Latley I've been getting a little more active, parcially due to my girlfriend joining the navy. She kinda was my social life, save like three other people, so yea.

I sunk myself back into my fanfic for a while and got a bunch done. A buddy of mine dropped in on me a few weeks ago and finally read it and sugested I do a raido play. Sp i put it out there and got decent responce but best of all got to meet some really awesome people, you know who you are:) and whether they know it or not they really have helped me through a extreamly hard time in my life.

I won't go into all the details but Bailey (my girlfriend) and are very close. Weve been together for almost 4 years (October 24) and so when she left for boot and i couldn't see or or even talk to her, my world was shattered. An entire piece of my life was gone and i didn't know what to do with myself. Now this was all six weeks ago. About 3 weeks ago is when I got back into this fourm. While I still feel that missing piece, i found people i can talk to and get my mind off of her not being here. It also helps that she graduates a week from friday and i'll finally be with her again.

So anyways, i think this will sort of be a place where i can just lay out thoughts and stuff and hopefully get some input. For this one I've got a second project I've technicly been working on in my head for years but just started writing a week or so ago. Heres the first paragraph:

My story doesn’t start with “Once upon a time,” or “Long ago, in a land unknown”. Heck, my story doesn't even start with me. It isn’t about a knight in shining armor or single hero starting from nothing building an army and overcoming impossible odds. It’s not about searching for a lost artifact that holds the power to save the world. It’s not about romance or forbidden love. It’s about a man and two of his closest friends fighting for what they believe in. It’s about facing your demons and trusting your heart. I am Tomas Aran… and this is my story.

So tell me what you think, an if you'd like to see more.

Welp untill next time, thanks for listening... reading... whatever:)
