Random Gamer Silliness

This right here sounds like the flavor text on a Magic Card. It could only come out of one of those truly bizarre worlds where either the goblins have Reci's eloquence and appreciation foe aesthetics or one where the elves have the cowardice and/or lack of sheer bad assery to slaughter entire species by thinking about it too hard but still.

Everquest 2 has a companion card game, Legends of Norrath. The art and card flavor text are fun. From the Thought Defiler:

Sean final fantasy has lady bugs instead of bunnies. At least getting your ass kicked by bunnies is excusible. I mean they have big pointy teeth. Ladybugs though...

Disclamer: I did not get my ass kicked by a ladybug

Fortunately the lady bugs and squirrels give way to meaner and weirder stuff, although every now and then there will be an adorable puff ball of something trying to chew you to ribbons.

From 35 to 40 I got daily quests to beat up on crazy sheep.

I'm a whole level 2 lol. Mt character design took like a half hour.

The characterization process has soooo many options. Even different color eyes. I often randomize until I get something I like and then customize. I think the one I liked had different color eyes and probably still does, at least subtly.

Ya a bit of overkill. On a side note if I want a hot pink human I can make one

There's a guy on our server that made a brown colored member of the giant races...and called himself Chocolate Hulk.

Has anyone made the Monty Python joke? I'm late to the game.

No but thanks for giving it away....I only wish I wasnt too lazy to find a picture of tim the warlock making the bunny face..

On a side note, I hooked up my nes in my room last night and my controllers took a shit. Time to take em apart and clean em

Oh everyone wants a full free-company, it makes them level up faster.

Way to burst my bubble...
At least they seem nice for the most part. Not used to that in an mmo.

Welcome Fredrick!

Stormborn like Daenerys?

It's a fun, fairly easy game, so the people aren't old grizzled arrogant veterans yet.

Yes. My 3 favorite characters in the series are jon, terion, and daenerys. Starks are dumber then a box of rocks ad lanisters are well... lanisters. Besides stormborn sounds cool. I will admit im having a hard time getting into book 4. I also ran into oj simpson .

Just finished ME3.

I had a hard time believing the ending was as bad as everyone was saying it was...even with the extended cut I cannot believe I sent some 70+ hours and that was what I was given.

Maybe the joke is on me.

I liked Sam, Tyrion and Daenarys to start with.

Unfortunately Tyrion and Daenarys lose me along the way, so I'm left with Sam.

Jon...I don't know...too earnest for me, I think I prefer Jamie, who did actually grow on me over time.

By the end of the books I probably like Margaery, Jamie and Sam best.

Yeah, I stopped playing somewhere along the line and then I felt good about that decision after the "none of my choices mattered?" meme made its splash.

My condolences!

The game itself was worthwhile. The "last" battle was more about survival than what I'd expect a last battle to be, but that is ok.

Just don't get these endings.

Oh well.

Yeah, although I do sympathize with how difficult it is to dovetail a lot of different choices, if you're going to base a game on choices, do make them count for something. If you invalidate all of your gameplay in the end, it's a pretty low blow, regardless of whatever lesson you might want to teach.

I think we all "get" that life sucks and we don't get what we want, that's really not why we play games.

I was going to type something similar in my last response, but figured no one wanted to hear me complain about game life lessons

Also Jamie is by far the most interesting character. Tyrion was up there, but he is going to need to make a come back in the last two books to catch up with Jamie.

Working on my EQ 2 Beastlord. Blue and pink and orange sparkly doom.

It's just funny to kill someone while you are approximately five inches tall. Bonus with sparkly wings and have a cloak depicting falling cherry blossoms while your weapons and hair and eyes are on fire.

Complain away! No, it's not the most important thing in the world, but we're not really here to do important things.

Yes, I like Jamie a lot. And unlike Daeny and Tyrion, who I think took a dip into the crazy and stupid well, he is a completely consistent character all the way through.

I kind of think he is basing Daeny on Catherine the Great. She learned the culture and language of her "new" people and even tried to liberate them from being serfs...but drew the line when they started disrespecting her and eventually gave up on the "Age of Enlightenment" as bunk. Started well but didn't end well.

For those who play Pandemic. My usual nemesis is Madagascar.

See I disagree a bit there. About half way through the 3rd book you realize Jamie just plain dont give a fuck anymore. Thats when I started to like him. I do like Sam as well but not as much as Jon or Tyrion. Whenever I get through the 4th book I may change my mind.

Back to gaming. Im a level 8 in final fantasy. I thought I was doing a good job until a guy in my guild bragged about being a level 30 in two day...I have brought dishonor to my family

Last note. I tore apart and cleaned my controllers for my nes so it works again. Im a cool kid now. My nes is hooked up in my bedroom for some old school awesome!!
