At this point, I have set an expectation that all travel adventures will be accompanied by a simultaneous fictional storyline posted to facebook. At least it gives me something to think about while on the road. This third narrative was posted between the dates of June 18-25, 2011 as I drove to Myrtle Beach and back. This trip’s theme was a video-game storyline. I believe my original album title on facebook was something like “GTA 3 – Myrtle Beach”. I’m thinking I could have done a lot more with this one, but these evolve with the trip. Nothing is ever predictable. Once again, thanks to everyone who participated!
WOW! Talk about a realistic 3D video game… this is cool! How in the hell are you supposed to control this thing?
Game Start
Aww, c’mon… I hit the button!!!!
Let’s try this again.
Score! Looks like you earn points by picking up miscellaneous items along the way.
Oooh, first task! Kill the Neosho Ogre and steal his car. I can handle this.
Piece of cake! Starting to get the hang of this. Away I go!!!
D’oh!!! Should’ve seen that one coming.
Did you *SERIOUSLY* think you could make fun of *NASHVILLE* and get away with it?!?? We don’t take kindly to that kinda thing around here. Three… two… one…
Sigh.
YES!!!
500 points… same as the Twizzlers.
Energy/Stamina +5
OK, third task. Where the birds have found decent fishing, dive in and catch something with your bare hands! No problem.
… guess I forgot that large schools of fish can also attract sharks.
Harumph.
What happened?! Did I press something by mistake?
Pac Man?!?? How the heck did I get into a Pac Man game? Hmmm. Maybe if I press this here…
Huh? This just isn’t right. Let’s try that again…
No, no, no, no, NO!
Ah… that’s better. Back on the road!
That was close… but score!
Looks like all food items — without regard for flashback relevance — end up being worth about 500 points.
Final task. Car Stolen. Find a way home and have fun doing it. Think of the possibilities! Movies show that hitchhiking can bring excitement! Adventure! Romance! Fortune! …
So much for the movie life. At least there are only 650 miles left. 649… 648…
Game Over. Final Mileage Bonus!
