Random Gamer Silliness

[Recidiva]

If I remeber right the woman who ran the guild was also s mod. For some reason she took a liking to me. If I was being harassed mine enemies would become ash. It was nice.

I tried to play, but I would get massacred in seconds. I really hate PVP because I have no talent for it. I feel guilty and I lack the relish for the kill. One of my roleplay partners wanted me to play there, but I just couldn't get into it at all and I don't think I got more than 5 feet out of town without dying unless I had an escort.

When I was a God/Mod on a MUD that was PVP based, I couldn't even go out at all. I mean, I could, but every other person who played a God there could figure out it was me quickly and zoom in for the kill.

There was one guy who would just make a hobby out of killing me according to a timer and taking just one piece of my gear each time. Taking his time to sort through it and comment on the crap I had.

Nice guy, went out to lunch with him once, but seriously, I suck at PVP and I leave it to those who are much, much better at it. Ulaven and my son are amazing at it.

I'm gonna see if playstation network has a demo. I'd hate to buy the game just to try the trial

Cool. The Playstation version is limited in the sense that on a PC you have hotbars and that's always difficult to navigate. Ulaven tried to play it and the targeting is a frustrating nightmare.

But the developers have been responsive and have been funny in their responses. Since most players have companions and pets, you're usually going to get fifteen of them before you manage to find what you want to kill. They're working on it. They will say something like "We realize that with a game controller, targeting is difficult when there is a large crowd, such as 30 carbuncle pets. We are working on a solution."

I'm gonna download the testing tool as well and see if my computer will run it

Hope you have fun! Let me know how it goes.

I couldn't do Bioshock either, any of them.

I'm pretty firmly in fantasy. My favorites bear that out.

I suck at FPS. Sorry!

I'm convinced the first BioShock is as highly rated as it is because of three reasons:

1. The incredible set design and art - justified
2. How you handle the villain Andrew Ryan
3. The twist right after that

Otherwise, it's a fairly run of the mill shooter with a cliched boss fight at the end. Thus far, part 2 is more of the same.

And I can't do any of the MMORPGs for lack of time and interest. I'm olde schoole enough to know there are plenty of games out there where I can grind for XP etc. without paying a monthly fee. Hell, my loot whoring needs are satiated quite well with Borderlands 2 and Torchlight 2.

For me I have a tendency to be obsessive, and that can cost the big bucks. Best to obsess over pretend things that cost a little.

When I try to do stuff like sew and make my own candles and chees or something for the same amount of time, that's a huge bill.

Now I want to go and play it.

Now I want to go and play it.

I'm going to have to play a nice person runthrough. I was mean to my kids. Well, not mean exactly. One of them would ask me if they could have a present and then when they were given an option of what they wanted, they'd always pick my main weapon or something.

No. You can have GUM. Gum. Not that. And I don't have any gum.

Can't leave Final Fantasy. About to get my Unicorn mount and my Chocobo can fight by my side and I just saw someone named Bootyscoot Fuzzypants.

Awww...my daughter just got this on a T-shirt. I want one.

I want to go buy Skyrim, but I always feel like an idiot after I buy an Elder Scrolls game knowing good and damn well that I never finish them. The world is a beautiful place to explore but I ultimately always get bored and wander off.

What's worse is there are plenty of things where I feel like I must be bitching to bitch because I hate walking from one city to the next because these cities are miles apart and occasionally it's hard to even know if you're going the right direction. So they give me quick travel. Now I'm pissed that I didn't find all the neat crap in between here and there because I quick traveled.

I find first person melee frustrating in everygame that isn't called Perfect Dark (where my favorite tactic was pop around a corner, steal your gun and shoot you while you were still dizzy. People fucking HATED me in that game. Of course that might have been because I had a bad habit of setting up Laptop guns over doorways that were nearly impossible to eliminate and that's when I wasn't putting them over spawn points. I was a bit of a dick there. Anyway they give me great bows in this game and then I feel like I'm exploiting a bug when I just get myself into some spot they can't easily get and snipe for days. I swear I unalived everybody in one village simply because I was bored and it became clear that there was nothing they could do to stop me from unaliving them all. Well they could have simply left my kill radius and waited for me to get bored but AIs have yet to discover that tactic.

Anyhow I must return to my zombie killing ways in Urban Dead and warm up for when I get my XBone and Left 4 Dead 3. The sheer orgasms I shall have will be epic.

You noticed! Awwww!

I've probably started and played at least partially through maybe 23 games of Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim and finished exactly one, so I know what that's like.

But I do like the sandbox aspect of it a lot. I probably had more fun doing dumb stuff like putting a Devoted Fan corpse in a display case.

 

[Recidiva]

I've just got to give it up to game developers with a sense of humor. Going through an abandoned mansion there's your average menacing corpse flies and spectre shadows and...divan mold?

Not only have I never had to fight divan mold in any form, wouldn't it suck if it killed me?

 

[Recidiva]

I love it. ACTUAL party banter.

Tank: gz
time passes, we kill stuff
Tank: gz
Me: I gotta ask, what does gz mean?
Tank: Congratulations. Your first MO?
Me: No, probably my 42nd.
Tank: You testing me?
Me: No, I just don't want to land in the gz
DPS: Yeah, what if it means Giant Zombie
Me: It's interesting that congratulations went to gratz went to gz, but I just don't want to run back to my corpse being told "I said gz!"
DPS: Safety first

 

[Sean Renaud]

I love the sandbox. But I've ultimatly finished Grand Theft Auto every (twice) time I've tried. I enjoy wandering around but I can get that with hunting games and I finish those to more often than not. Speaking of there is a Polar Bear I need to cap.

I could never play that game. I just get squicked out at the idea of regaining health by having sex with whores or whatever you do. Carjacking is evil, yeah, but I like big evil, not petty evil.

I couldn't get through Oblivion. Morrowind I burned through just to beat it and I'm convinced that Bethesda doesn't understand, or does understand but willingly subverts, the concept of loot and reward. In other RPGs, I break into a house and can find potions/gold/spells/equipment. In Bethesda's worlds, I'm breaking into Pottery Barn.

"You know what gamers would appreciate? If they bust into someone's house, and could steal their cookware. Gold? Passe. Plates! Now we're talkin'!"

Lunacy is what it is. Even with the general storyline, there's no sense of urgency. Sure, you can still wander off and never even return to it, but no body in the world even brings it up. It's like the main story of those games doesn't exist except to five people or so.

Maybe that's just me.

I did, however, just fire up Hitman: Absolution and it's loads of fun. I never was a Hitman fan before now, and I'm still not. But this game is loads of fun as you try to figure out all the various ways in which to off your target.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I picked this frickin' desk, broke five lockpicks and you've got...a shoe in here? And not even a fancy shoe, but just a 1 gold shoe. Feh.

My daughter and I are Eddie Izzard fans and he has a joke about being an "Executive Transvestite" instead of those fucking weirdo transvestites.

So she's going through a vampire cave and finds a bunch of shoes in a wardrobe.

"So that's an executive transvestite vampire"

My problem with Oblivion is that I play through the story line and when they get to the point where they want me to close approximately 67 Oblivion gates (sure seems that way) in a row to advance because I've been procrastinating, it's time to do something else.

Had to replace my wallet as it was pretty well split in half. Went to hot topic (or was it spencers) and got me a legend of zelda wallet. Be jealous

 

[Sean Renaud]

Not liking GTA because of the Hookers is like not licking Morrowind for the bartering system. It's a damn good series and loads of fun.

Anyway I has a Domo Wallet. Not quite on par with a Zelda one but good enough for me!
