Yeah, but most saved their complaints for 3, which really wasn't near as good as ME 2. So much less to do. But they were all really pretty and atmostpheric, unlike DA, which is just drab. Fucksake, that game came out like 7 years after Oblivion. There's really no excuse in a sword and sorcery game for how dull it was. If that story about them rushing the game out to meet a deadline is true, it explains a lot.\

That would be awesome. I feel like I'm going mad when people are "omg that game was so awesomesauce". I went to sleep and the world was the world. Now I wake up and suddenly dragon age 2 was brilliant. Next thing you know Trump will be elected Emperor of the World.

Dragon age 2 had an area of effect fireball spell that when you pressed "a" time froze and you'd see a glowing circle on the ground you could move to where you wanted an explosion.

When it leveled up the circle got bigger, and you could cast it further away.

The spell passed through doors; that meant you could freeze time, send your glowy circle to scout through closed doors, and set off multiple room clearing fireballs.

The entire game became a walk through empty rooms of corpses which is a good metaphor for um

The first one was good old school fun. I'd rather play Pillars of Eternity but the Dwarf Origins in the fist were great. Inquisition was alright. Better than the second although not as good as the first. Can't say I can be arsed enough to play it again as there are far better games out there. But yeah... Dragon Age was
:mediocre:
DA:O was 7 bucks for the ultimate edition the other day. Good price.
Better Games to try and give money and time to:
Pillars of Eternity
Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines
Psychonauts
Fallout: NewVegas
Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light
Stalker series
Total War: Warhammer
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada (don't expect multiplayer to be very populated but enjoy the SP)
X-Com: EU or X-Com2
Wasteland 2
Grim Fandango
Witcher 2 and 3 (1s good but the combat is a little clanky)
Dark Souls 1 and 2 (haven't done 3)
Homeworld

On topic: all these games wont mind if goons stalk them. Stalker encourages this actually.

Here's a story.

So I really liked this girl from school. We were close friends in our earlier years, but ended up growing apart during the pre-teen years. During high school I wanted to tell her how I really felt about her, and I was pretty sure she felt the same way towards me. But whenever I tried to approach her I would just seize up with paralyzing fear. So I had the absolutely BRILLIANT idea of writing her a letter telling her how I felt. I ended up giving her the letter in person, and then ran away before she could read it. That moment is probably the most terrifying moment of my life so far. Two days later we bump into each other and she says "Hi Juno! I read that letter you gave me!" in the nicest sweetest voice you could imagine. The fight-or-flight-response kicked in and the flight response won. I walked straight past her without saying anything. This kept on for the rest of high school, and also whenever we saw each other outside of school. We ended up going to the same college together and the same thing would happen.

I had absolutely no idea why I was so terrified of being around this girl. But, long story short, turns out I was raped as a child after revealing to my rapist (who was a family member) that a girl who had just moved in next-door was from my school and I knew her. Now because of that I have a completely legit, full-blown phobia of showing any interest at all in girls. But no, I wasn't going to allow a rape or phobia stand between me and the girl I loved. I put myself through 4 years of self-induced exposure therapy, going up to any girl I thought looked attractive and giving them compliments or trying to start a conversation and just being a plain old creepy loser to random girls. All for the sake of desensitizing myself of the fear of my one true love.

I should note here as well that she would spend a decent amount of time hanging out in areas I frequented. Often she would be waiting for me to show up to hopefully talk to her, giving the most beautiful smile as I would walk past her without saying a thing, my muscles just tensing up far too much for any cognitive control. I remember times when I would walk past her, desperately wanting to stop. I remember feeling the my voluntary muscle impulses pulling against the pre-designed course my brain had set. I remember screaming out inside my head for my body to stop.

So after 4 years of that, I bump into her again, conveniently sitting outside a place I frequent. I look at her and I don't feel a single tinge of fear. I decide this is it, this is the chance I've been waiting and working so hard for. I go over to sit with her and start talking to her. Conversation starts off mundane as they do, and then I ask for her phone number. She tells me, in a slight voice of flattery, that her boyfriend wouldn't like that. (gently caress. Well actually words don't really do this moment justice). I tell her well I'm glad you sorted all that out for yourself. I then said it was nice talking to her, and she said it was nice talking to me to, and then I left.

So, to stick with the theme of the thread:

Yeah well, I did for her what no-one would even dream of doing for anyone. I'm the nicest guy she, or anyone else for that matter, could ever imagine having. No-one on this planet could possible treat her as good as I can and did. Blah Blah Blah.

BTW I'm 32 in October I haven't had sex in 10 years.

It would be down right loving lovely if I could have one genuine conversation on the internet with other men about being men and related issues without these dipshit red pillers loving it up with their sad, misogynistic bullshit.
A friend of a friend used to have monthly meetups with other dudes to talk about 'what it means to be a man in modern society' and what men's role should be etc. He wasn't an MRA/redpiller or whatever so it could have been really interesting but they were all enormously rich, white hippies who mostly didn't have jobs so it would probably have been insufferable in a different way.

Can you regularly guess guy's junk from their pants? I mean really. You can kind-of answer this yourself.

And no one cares about what his dick looks like other than the fact that it's funny that he won't stop doing it. Then again if I tanked my career doing something stupid I'd be all "well what's stopping me now?"

In other news I've renewed pride in my penis. I wanted to make sure you guys knew this. My penis is so nice I'm thinking of buying it a fedora.

You could in the 80s. Just watched Sleepaway Camp the other day, and I'd completely forgotten (or blocked out) what mens shorts looked like back in the day.



BTW, if you never saw it, it's on Youtube. It's weird, most of the teenagers appear to be played by actual teenagers. Maybe that's why there is a distinct lack of titties for a slasher film. (The ending is NSFW though.)
