I hope this doesn't mark the beginning of my obsession with ninjas.... I dreamt an action adventure ninja dream yesterday - as you people know, I have a custom of dreaming game dreams a lot... I can't help it, it's the geek in me trying to get out.

So I was a ninja (female ninja, I never turn into a guy in my dream, so no, it's not the lesbo in me trying to get out). In a Japanese style abandoned garden, with those rocks lying around~the little ponds~and the little pagoda in which there's a weird looking device I had to "inspect".

Walk toward this thing that I can only describe as an organ - the musical instrument - and it spits out grapes of all colors...weee, grapes, I hate grapes. So apparently my task here is to take a grape, find the corresponding colored-pipe and throw it in and, magically, like all action adventures, it's supposed to give me something, like a lightening sword or a key or something. So I try, first attempt. Fail. Second attempt. Fail. Up to a point I got thoroughly annoyed ( stupid !&#&^ mini-games ), I took a grape, walked close to the organ and simply stuffed it down the pipe. Hoooraaaay. It works.

After stuffing what seemed like, a lot of grapes, 3 scrolls came out of the pipes. Oh my, isn't this logical. Scrolls are tubular, so are pipes, and it's soninja-ish. Kick ass. What's more logical? It's all gibberish to me !!! Yeah, they're all maps in Japanese and not English...

However this seems to be the beginning of the game since I have nothing on me, no weapon, no armor, only the maps. And I have to pack with whatever is around me in the pagoda.

The packing is fun, like a small treasure hunt (... I think I just defined action adventure games). Found a wooden sword and a large piece of cloth that I could put my stuffs in and wrap it up, like they do in the ninja animes, haha. Also took some straws lying around so I can, er, build a fire... (will that work?). What else did I find? Some pebbles, the maps, of course, and guess what. CABLE TIES. WOODEN CABLE TIES. Righto, and I thought to myself, horray I'm going to be able to tie stuffs together with these handy cable ties. If I was concious in the dream I would have kicked myself.

Anyway, when the packing is almost done I see an old "Japanese" couple walking towards me, seeming like villagers willing to share some good information. So I walk closer and damn it's Mom and Dad, telling me to bring my lunch for the adventure ( bento box acquired ! ), and to watch out for cockroaches because they are dirty and they fly.... And I woke up when one of the said cockroaches flied toward me to prove my parents' point. Gaaaaaaaaaaah.

I had to save KIDS. Haha, can anyone see the irony in that? Anyhow, in yesternight's episode of "Very Exciting Dreams", I had to save some kiddos being hidden in a terrorist base.
I snuck in and cracked some guard's head with a crowbar, stole the semi-automatic gunningmachine and fired away, except that instead of bullets, the gun squirts out corrosive liquid - wheeeeeeeee for FPS violence and melting faces. Anyway, as I was having fun there, we started building a small facility (hello strategy games, build build build) inside the huuuuge base, within which we could make our own supply of corrosive liquid. Everything was running chill, and my alter-ego was running that place a la Fight Club, when a stupid looking average american soccer-mom came up with an exceedingly annoying smile and airhead face to ask me "Can we unionize?!?" and then er, she died... >: )
