Another Leg in the Grand Adventure. . .

Part of the adventures when I get to visit my parents in the cultural hub that they live in, is that we get to go see all the historical sites in the area. Today we went to something called Drayton Hall, which was a VERY old plantation house. I am always amazed by how well places like that has survived, especially for over 200 years. As we explored the building, I thought to myself how wonderful it would be to be able to see the building when it was first built. Of course, this would require a time machine of sorts and other rather interesting devices, so, in other words, don't get your hopes up, kid.

Now, this made me think of one of the major plot devices and key game play aspects of Bioshock Infinite. Part of the story (no spoilers, I promise) is that the girl you are sent to obtain is able to 'tear' apart reality and see into different dimensions. If a tear is large enough for people to go through, it's a one way trip. So, using this method, if I were able to visit a different time, like when the house I mentioned was in, there would be a bad chance that I would be stuck in that time/reality. 

There are a lot of different stories that I have seen that use mechanics that invoke dimension crossing/universe jumping. It makes a great concept, but sometimes it gets too complicated and people loose interest. 

IN OTHER NEWS, my mother's new former foster kitten is so much fun to play with. Now, she already has waaaaaay more cats than she needs, but its hard to say no when my father rescues a lot of animals. This kitten was supposed to just be a foster but she ran into some health issues, and making a lot story short, she ended up keeping this little monster. It's sweet to see how well this little kitten gets along with all the other animals, as well as seeing how much she adores my mother. 

You can read all about this kitten and many of my mothers adventures in her blog:
