I want some answers, no sorry - I need some answers because I am in a state of extreme confusion, a state that I cannot seem to escape from, and why? Who knows, if I knew I'd not have the need to post this topic, but there you go and I have, so please take into consideration the immense confused state of mind that I am currently in whilst writing this post - no doubt you'll join my frame of mind after reading this, although when I finally post this I will probably be beyond confusion, and into the highly strenuous world of delusion, should I not be there already.

Long sentence there, forgive me; I should be better at this.

Ok, so, yes this does have a future of gaming element to it, but as whether you'll be able to find any meaning in it is another matter entirely. So where do we go now, what do we do now, and why should we do it?

Exactly. My point, it makes no sense - the world of gaming confuses me with many flashy sign posts guiding a different way down Silicon Valley - what am I to do? Do I keep on the track that appears to be crumbling, a desert of nothingness and not a sign of life in sight, or do I follow the fun trail, full of colour and excitement - a trail of innocence, but an experienced innocence and magic, but that path is not yet open for me to walk down, so do I wait? I should wait should I? I can look down that path - I see an incredible way down it, but it's weird and adds further confusion to my feet, but it's so bright down there, it looks so brilliant and hopeful - with a longer trail than the one I have been on, with a familiar face inside it - where do I turn to?

I could wait - I could wait for the other path to be opened, a path that does not seem horizontal, but one that appears as a crop circle - with flashing luminous lights all around - a green aura surrounding, I look up, everything looks more advanced, but the view is obscured, so many who should take this path, perhaps, are turning away. Or maybe I could turn back on my trail, head back down the path, part of the way and take the route that seems fairly ordinary - but one with many walkers, I've been down that way before, but I could always return, I just need to walk a little further - it looks very professionally laid out, but to me, a little lifeless? Maybe I have no clue what to do, but all I know is that the path I am on is drying up and the end is in sight, I could stay here for a while, it's been a fantastic journey, but all good things come to an end & new places need to be visited. I'll have to sleep on this one.

If you can help me, help ease this burning pain inside the inner walls of my mind, if you can tell me which path I should take, I'd be grateful, I can always turn back and go down another, but there's only one path open right now other than the one I am standing on. I need to leave it.

I use fate in a different sense to the predetermined future one.

Don't be so sure that you can control ALL of you own future though, you don't know what's out there.

Fate took a U-turn and fell off the peer, my, your, and everyone else's destiny is in our own hands - the future hasn't been written yet, you can accomplish anything.

A wise man once said to me, "When you think you're lost, you have usually found the way."

Meaning, if you don't know which way to turn, it's a sign that you are reaching for a new state of enlightenment, braking out of traditional thought and becoming part of the next stage of your life.

Looking back on your life, you realise that there are certain moments that shape your future, and they are not always the things that you immediately think would do this. A major part of my current character is defined by events in my past, some of which were, at the time, considered quite scary and dark. It's at these times you find out who your friends are (and how few people are actually classed as friends afterwards) You may well find that fate takes an interesting turn.

The path I wander along is still dark, but I am finding my way by following the little reminders being placed along the way. I can easily see how others could become lost, but myself and others I know are always willing to help the needy.

My path of the future of gaming is normally turn off the console and go straight to the fridge... however I can see many different paths in the future, some like Ant and Bonus's paths have been written, I am still willing to give the PS2 a chance, as I know that anything is bound to happen in the future and sadly anything can.

With me giving everything (except the XBox) a chance the paths in the future reamin open for me to choose which to take. Hopefully it will be like Fish-e's and I will take the Cubed path to heaven, but it could eventually be like Ant's and I will have to take the PS2's path to life.

Whichever the path, hopefully it will be better than what we currently have, because at the moment, its not great, is it?

Thanks.
