Tale

Something along the lines of "Our Dwarf fans are very passionate."

Here's about how my day has gone so far. Work on getting the company anti-virus updated. Oh hey, the login credentials I was told were valid aren't. And none of the password reset options work either. No time to worry about that, need a business license in Reno. When do we need it? Why today! Good luck with that, buddy. What do you mean we can't find the registration information for Nevada Department of Taxation? Why is someone only asking me about that now? At least the business license reinstatement wasn't a problem. One of the workers in Louisiana needs me to buy him supplies. RIGHT NOW. Nobody has them, better find the closest thing then. Oh, and a generally liability auditor needs some more insurance information on a subcontractor. Did I mention my job description is BLOODY DATA ENTRY? At least it's not one of the days I have to call every distributor in the country looking for one item that my boss decided he absolutely had to have at the last minute.

Volo, did you watch the Game Informer video on races? I'm pretty sure Laidlaw was calling you out.

I'm getting a little tired of figuring out business license requirements in foreign states. Anyone need to start a business in Nevada? Just let me know!

I got it just for Dead Space 3. I loved 1, loved 2 until it froze on me. Been meaning to play through it.

I just need to decide PS3 or 360. In other news, new Humble Bundle! https://www.humblebundle.com/

I'd have it pre-ordered if it supported XP. It's weird that it doesn't when 3 did.

They actually said they'd like to do it, but at this point it's just not feasible for the PC version. The console versions won't have auction. Did they say they'd like to do it, or was that just Jay Wilson after he'd already moved to a different project?

You are dead to me, sir. Good day!

SR2 was supposed to be unable to enter atmosphere given its great size. This is why all the missions drop you off in a shuttle. Of course I don't think Illium is ever explained and Mass Effect 3 completely forgets. I'm more bothered by the forward facing window, putting the pilot in the most vulnerable combat position on the hsip, and Joker taking credit for automated systems. He brags about the accuracy of a faster than light jump in the first minutes of Mass Effect 1. Just what was he doing to give it such accuracy? Was he steering the ship at near instantaneous FTL, making up for .0000000000000000001 degree deviations that could send them light years off course? By feel? Is he a math whiz capable of calculating course corrections instantaneously?

I don't hate Joker, I just really don't understand the Normandy's design. It's wrong. To try and return to the topic, I feel myself getting vulnerable to the dulling of old memories. I saw a question "what platform will you be getting DA:I on" and I almost answered. I had to stop and think to myself, wait, I'm not even currently planning to get it at all! I'm even replaying DA:O. And that's building up some hype. I feel myself slipping...

I still don't understand what Joker actually does on that ship. It couldn't be important, his chair is in the most vulnerable section. They even give him a window that serves no purpose except to make him feel special.

Even the old epilogue never said she behaved in the court.

Oh man, now I really want a Fable style choose your title system. I'd pick The Inquirer.

Everything I read makes it sound like the old formula. With talk about how you'll check out these side stories, like whatever the Grey Wardens are up to, sounding like hooks into gathering allies.

The Inquisition is not the Templars. The Templars are fighting the Mages. The Inquisition may or may not view the war as petty bickering.

You're not the Spanish Inquisition, tasked with finding heretics. You're tasked with stopping a war and putting an end to the crap going on with the veil.

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2013/08/12/dragon-age-inquisition-s-morrigan-past-and-present.aspx New Game Informer article, it's about Morrigan. First page is character history, second is what's in store for DA:I.

What I've gathered is the PC will be the "first" Inquisitor. So it's basically that he or she s trying to reform them apart from the Chantry. I imagine Cassandra will be the one to suggest it.

I have a Saint's Row 3 foil card. I wonder how much it's worth. *checks* 0.55 - 0.67 That's a bummer. Anyway, the only good thing to come out of badges is the backgrounds. But the backgrounds are often cheaper than the cards.

It's ok, she played one of the most archetypal characters in DA (it's right there in the name: Morrigan) which somehow got reduced to being a pouty, awkward, teenager with social problems. Way to go character development! This. I find it annoying to see that you have to do petty evil to gain her approval, which is a bit weird since she's supposed to be apathetic character. I blame the approval based design and petty choices. Companions are intended to be sounding boards. They're meant to reflect the good and the bad of a choice. Morrigan was given the obligation of finding the "good" in decisions that were otherwise petty or sociopathic. It seemed almost as if they came up with the scenarios that had choice, then they started going through the companions to see who could agree and disagree. And they had it mandatory that someone had to agree and someone had to disagree. So we get Morrigan having strong feelings about price gougers simply because there was nobody else around. Is that what happened? Danged if I know. But it's a nice little fiction to tell myself.

To each their own, as it were. Claudia Black is the only reason I got over my Bioware aversion to play DAO. Which isn't exactly sound decision making, but I didn't regret it.

The only Claudia worth mentioning, natch.

As long as you stay away from Claudia, I don't need to post menacing things.
