Strategy Guides

I busted out Blue Dragon today (for those not in the know, it's the game from a group of people who would pretty much make up my dream team of creators). It's awesome.

It doesn't have a journal system within the game. It's a huge game. When I booted it up... seems I just finished a major quest (that much I could remember)... but I had no idea where to go next.

I had to break down and do something I hate. I had to use a strategy guide to get back on track. I would have been lost for an hour if I didn't.

I hate using strategy guides... they seem to spoil the game. Times like these... when I just need to know where I was going... I'll make exceptions.

But then I got to thinking... what if life had a play-by-play strategy guide?

It'd kinda be nice to go... "hmm... let's see where I'm supposed to go next." Then again... the adventure would be lost.

I'll pass on a strategy guide to life.
