OK, I just woke up from a crazy-go-nuts dream. To set up, though, I couldn't sleep last night so I decided to play Conduit. I ended up playing through the last half of the campaign and beat it then played online and mostly dominated the maps for hours. I finally go to bed around 6AM and then...my videogame dream.
I was agent Ford. Except I had a name that started with 's'. I can't remember what it was, so I'll just roll with Stratos since that was likeley what it was. I was on a mission to same Solid Snake. I was sneaking around and taking out guards in the plains/forest place. It was like I was playing Metal Gear completely from the first person except the guards were the SWAT troopers from Conduit and the guns were from it as well. I could even 'pause' the game and a big Wiimote covered my view like how in Goldeneye you looked at your watch and it filled up the screen to be your menu. I could reset that part of the level by pressing minus if I messed up.
So I rescued Snake and asked him to help me on this critical mission to get...something. It was always vague what I had to get. But somebody had it and was abusing it. I had been working for this big spy company buisness person, but I knew he was bad news. I went along with his plans anyway even though Snake and I had planned to defect from him and find my old boss who we knew we could trust with the artifact once we found him. Strangely both of the bosses were at a fancy dinner party down the street and we could go talk to them at it when we needed help and advise.
So after saving Snake, the next mission had us going to this huge mansion in a part of town that was snowing. Apparently the guy was holed up there. So we some squads of troops on our side, but the don't do anything. They just follow us around saying military terms like 'clear' and 'move move move!'. They blew the mission several times and we had to reset. Snakes getting PO'd at them by this point so we create a big distracting fight in a huge hall of the mansion and leave the squad there fighting the other guards.
Snake and I split up. I go up some stairs and there is a crazy party going on upstairs. Like college frat party.. There are drunk people everywhere. Actually, most of them were underage so it was probably a high school party. I watched as this girl was getting thrown and kicked around. I assumed she was drunk at first and they were having a laugh, but it got more violent and she was obviously in pain. I took her from them and picked her up to discover her hip was broken. She told me that she had some odd issue but everyone said that if she threw herself into the wishing well out back she'd be cured. That was how her hip got broken. (
) There was this weird cut scene/flash back in badly pixelated DS 3D graphics that showed her falling into the well. Strange.
I decide her health is more important than the mission so I run out of the mansion and there is a police officer/security guard there. I go up to them and ask if they can get some medical professionals there (did I really have to word it like that?) They lady points to a person in a crowd of protesters outside the manision protesting...something and says "Jesus would be glad to help, his church is next door". And this guy walks up dressed like Jesus but obviously a drunk crazy hobo says, "Sure, let's mozey on over to my place and see who's up and willing to help this lady". As we walk aroung the building the other side has all of this weird black stuff all over it and it looks like some 7-year olds tried to make a haunted house all in black on the side of the church. There's all this red writing and creepy satanic stuff on it. As we walk in the Jesus Hobo yells out, "Oh, they've redecorated, neat!" There's a line of these people (most of them midget height) who had black snuggies on that covered their faces.
I was getting worried and turned to see the Jesus Hobo had wandered back out the door mummbling to himself. The girl has lost consiousness at this point. I see all these bloody tools on the walls and decide I'm leaving. Suddenly there are guards everywhere as I realize it was a trap (never listen to Hobo Jesus) . I make a run for it gunning these guys while I carry this girl (she is very light thankfully). I run into a supermarket when I discover from my old, good boss that the girl is a link to the guy we are chasing. He wants her for some reason. Snake tells me I'm on my own because he's preoccupied. I swear I hear the party I left in the background of his transmission (thanks, Snake...).
We race through the supermarket, and I'm trying to not hit civilians, but no one seems to notice us. Everyone just keeps going about their business. I think I got all of the pursuing guards and make a break through the parking lot. Suddenly a van pulls up and a woman that looks like Sarah Palin and a boy jump out of the car. Apparently it is her mother and her boyfriend. All of a sudden the girl regains conciousness and is healed (and sober now too, nice trick). But out of the supermarket comes this crazy guy that I know instantly is the target we were after. He wants the girl back and says he will stare down anyone who gets in his way. Apparently he has this power from the artifact we were supposed to get that makes people lose their souls attachment to your body if you stare into his eyes. Thus you die. He also has a gun and all mine apparently dissapeared in the store. The mom and him start gatting into this fight that looks like one of those parental domestic disputes while the evil dude points the gun at the girl. The boy tries to be all heroic and stands in front of the girl but I throw him out of the way and say, "are you mad? I have body armor, you don't, get the car warmed up".
The evil guy starts talking to me and monologuing about his super power and how no mortal man has the willpower to overcome it's pull to sever your soul from your body. I say try me. We stare into eachothers eyes and I hear this weird whispering and blackness *AHH* I wake up, but this weird muddy wake up and I saw my room and everything, but I was all floaty inside like there was no gravity, I lay my head down and it was like I warped back to myself and regained conciousness (was I really awake or was that one of those 'dream' wakeups?) I hear the girl screaming. I see I'm on my knees, but I look up and I have my hand around they evil guys neck. He's shocked to see me regain conciousness like that and I squeeze. His eyes bulge and I hear a crack in his neck. Suddenly I hear the communication chime but it sounds like my phone. It rings again and I wake up to my phone ringing....it's 2PM.
Wow. This is what staying up all night playing videogames does to me.
