Dear Internet, 
I am a Wizard, and you can has a Cheezeburger but only if you give me back my bucket. Because I only lol if there is lulz, and depending on whether something is Fail or Epic, I will let you know twice with a motivational poster. 
 
Even though a picture is worth a thousand words, most things are hard for me to understand. That’s why I’m like cool kid and telling you to “deal with it”(YEEEAAHHH) 
 
I know what you’re thinking. You’re all like “NO U!” while I’m all “O RLY?” on my invisible bicycle. Maybe I can bribe your love, but I can’t only give you currency in the form of Cat pictures and Pornography. (Let's face it, I'm never gonna give you up.) I worked really hard on my Furry costume by the way, I got the idea after I finished writing up that in-depth Wikipedia page on Knuckles the Echidna. (which you totally also Fap to btw.) 
 
Well Hitler, before I go, Not Even Doom Music can stop your Nazi Tirade over the lives of all these Children. Because even the simplest of Phrases will continue to be said by them, in chat rooms, over the phone and god forbid when you meet them on the street, as if you were catchphrases of the 90s and everyone is the cool guy at the party. 
 
PS, We're going to eat pizza. (PEET-ZUH)


NOW, What are we talking about?..

The Dragon Age II demo came and it saw. I played it, and while the new gameplay tweaks were odd at first, they made sense and have since gotten used to. I'd assume it's because I was playing the PS3 demo and not the 360 one. Sometimes something as simple as a controller change can really mess with your perception on a game. Well, I can at least say that I'm looking forward to DAII, yet I really ought to plough through the first game if that was going to be the case.

So here I am, pretty much doing it all over again, I can't remember why I stopped playing it in the first place, but I figured I should start from scratch. A Dalish Elf Rouge by the name of Lark (A change from the usual Facegurl iteration), who I'm apparently playing more polite and religious then I figured I was going to. It's funny how much my mood seems to be changing with this character because I'm pretty sure I started out playing her being a complete ass. Then I again, I guess she's a jerk to her own people.

I decided I was going to play through the game casually because I really just want to get through the story. To have a save for Dragon Age II to work off of.

That reminds me, I'm very pleased with how much 'better' character models look in this one. Ossi is to argue that they're still pretty ugly. (and let's face it, he's not wrong...) But in comparison between the two Dragon Ages and nothing else, These people are a lot more pleasing to the eye. A few cosmetic problems, like hair comes to mind. You know, that red headed lady with the Templar Husband. Such bad hair.

I mean, I don't understand why it has to be so bad, it just seems like Bioware has a history of making ugly ass human characters. Their Aliens in Mass Effect? The Demons in Dragon Age? Phenomenal. Fuckin' Tree Lady? Super HOT! Human characters are ugly as sin. I guess with the exception of Morrigan, a lot of time and money was probably spent on her. Though, I don't care if you've lived in the woods your whole life or not, don't dress like such a Harlot!

I'm also really pleased that the main character actually talks. I don't think a silent protagonist really works for that game, all that stiff animation, and the silent judging... Camera angles that make it look like they have something to say. Yeah I understand that it would have probably been too much work, but the first game really does take me out of it when your main character just stares at everything and never gives any actual input. So Hudson Hawke will be quite welcome! While judging by the dialogue trees I have a feeling I'll only want to give nothing but witty responses. I mean, at least this time around they don't seem, 'good, neutral, bad.' Which makes me happy, because I'm tired of shallow consequences.

Then again, this is only a demo.

  • I like making visual gags.

  • I think I've experienced enough internet drama in the past while to last me for a decade. It's ok though, everything's cool! God speed... Unless you're a cunt

  • One more week till I have myself a little Vacation. Huatulco here I come!

  • I hurt my hand playing MvC3. No surprise there, the floor is just too hard.

@bonbolapti: You are a menace and will be stopped! Even if it's the last thing I do... 
 
I too have been doing a Dragon Age-A-Thon for several weeks now. To motivate myself to play it again several months back I got it into my head that it would be a good idea to delete all my old saves to force me to play a new game. Well that didn't work, but with two coming out so soon did motivate me, and I just got done a new fresh play through yesterday. I remade my first character, a male commoner dwarf rogue, and did all the major choices I did the first time around, but now that I beat it I realize I don't really like my character. 
 
I have put easily over 600 hours into this game by now, so I wasn't too surprised to find that this time I made it through in 38 hours- no skipping cutscenes. It would have been closer to 45, but I used mods to skip ostagar and the fade in the circle tower because I was sick of playing those parts of the game.  
 
Now I have restarted the game again and plan to play through it one more time, because I realized after a few hours into Awakening that I really dislike playing Rogues. So now I have a male elf mage named Salem. Decided I would try playing him as a douche, sexist, selfish, egotistical character that always does the right thing in really bad situations this time around. Thought it would be a nice  change of pace from the evil, scum that goes out of his way to kill innocents and sleep with underage elf girls just because there are a few coins in it for him or because it would make someone's life almost as miserable as his own.

@crusader8463:  Well at least Salem seems a little more light hearted
 
 600 hours sounds amazing, I always have problems with stopping halfway through. I think I'm having pacing issues in some spots. I'm currently stuck in a dream in the tower of the Magi, and I've just become confused as fuck.
