I tried going back last year. Had everything downloaded, everything updated. Attempted to log in, and, my character’s name had been taken in a server merge. So, they were forcing me to rename the character. Maybe it’s petty, but that just completely killed it for me. I had the name on launch and loved it. So I quietly…

It is.

I wondered how they’d treat combat in Victorian England. Not many folk parading around with swords in those days.

I actively tried NOT doing the awful things that game forced me to do. Then the game chastised me (the player) for doing them.

Nope, not worth the harassment I’ll no doubt receive.

Uh.....huh.

Edit: Oooh, now I get things. Sucks being generally comic illiterate.

Not a fan of confusing corridors in games, I’ve always been bad at navigation. So FEAR was a mild disappointment to me. I know a lot of gamers love that type of environment though, more power to them.

Fuck, this feels so unfair.

Random Battlegrounds on Warcraft have this exact same problem. You can play the smartest (a.k.a: playing the objectives) and still lose due to teammates. And let me tell you, there is some nasty, nasty stuff said in a losing battleground.

Good compromise.

It’s more tame than an after school special. I’m not joking.

My father’s side of the family are all Canadian (Alberta) and I know for a fact they own several rifles, many of which were passed down by my grandfather. But, I’ve never seen them outside of their display case.

40 year olds startin’ fires, makin’ threats.

I feel awful for the guy.

Women are terrible, we all know this.

So far it’s much much more sad than scary. I’m still fairly certain I’m early into the game (just passed the sunken ship) but I’ve already got a good handle on what happened and what’s going on, and it’s all just depressing.

mmkay, lost my mind for a bit there. Ignore this.

No law can stop true love.

The voice acting pool has been stagnant for the past decade, here’s hoping for more talent. I have little sympathy for voice actors when it comes to salary. And yes, I’m aware they’re not making Hollywood cash, but they make enough for a comfortable life.
