move along, nothing to see here

[dcdumbass]

As much as I appreciate the attempt to aid me in my time of patheticism. The conversation string was just a constant reminder of how much I suck. So I've decided to make a small update in hope of diverting the subject a little. Less of conversation about a specific failure, but more an analyzation of my failure in general. I think I may have

Complexity?

Hey fuck you, pal!

[mountain_douche]

Better to be complex than hilarious.

Oh wait, no it's not. HEY FUCK YOU!

Still got it baby.

[dcdumbass]

hey I thought you were supposed to be able to keep playing after you beat the main storyline of Fable? I just sprinted through that game, but now it will only let me start a new one or play from my last save.

[mountain_douche]

You need to stick through the entire 10 minute end credit sequence to be able to keep playing. Boot up your last save, beat the last boss again, then go write a novel or some shit while the end credits roll. When that whole ordeal is done, you'll be able to play your same character for ever and ever and ever and ever.

By the way, thoughts? Impressions? What do you think of the game?

[dcdumbass]

I really liked it, but I don't think I got the best experience out of it, I spent very little time messing around with the little game elements. I had a couple wives, but I mostly spent all my time doing the main quests, thinking I would got back after beating the boss and mess with the other stuff. I wasn't even built up very strong when I defeated the main boss, so I may go back to an ealier save and do some more stuff before I finish the main line again. Then of course I have to go back and be a huge prick.

[dcdumbass]

it also needs more stuff, like armour and weapons. I'm a stat/equipment junkie, and there wasn't enough choice for my tastes. Being a hero was awesome, everyone loves me, I even had one dude ask for a wedding ring, and I never even hit on him. Such the stud am I.

[mountain_douche]

I thought you could forge your own weapons, adding stats and spells and shit to them so you could have a flaming axe that does water damage or something? I dunno, I haven't messed with that.

Dude, did you just burn through that game in record time? When did you get it? I know it's supposed to be short, but I didn't know it was THAT short. You need to get a job so you can afford to buy more games for us to discuss.

[dcdumbass]

no no no, the more quality weapons have slots where you can augment them. Certain creatures are sensitive to certain elements, by augmenting the weapon you can add those elements. The effects are permanent though, so if you have alredy agmented with Fire and silver, but you need the piercing augmentation, you are screwed.

I tried calling you today so we could have an impromptu discussion about the game, but alas, I can never reach you. I got it I think on friday, and started playing it on sunday. IT took nine hours of playtime to beat the main storyline, but like I said I mostly avoided the others, I'm taking my time now. For example, do you know where that lady from N. Bromstones necklace is? I found the house where her sisters body is hidden, but I can't find the necklace.

Fable rocks. Rented it yesterday. Just killed the white wolf thing, but i'm doing every damn thing i can before progressing because i heard the game was short.

It's awesome, I discovered that there is a blockbuster video half a mile from my house that i didn't even know about. This is fortunate as the hollywood video down the street from me didn't have it in stock.

can't talk must kill more shopkeepers.

[dcdumbass]

Who would have guessed that Ryan would play as an evil character first. Not me, I don't see him as a man with a thinly concealed demonic side. He's certainly the one friend I would never expect to snap and go on a killing spree.

[mountain_douche]

What the fuck?! I didn't get an e-mail notice for any of these replies, and I just buzzed by your page to see if I missed anything anyone else said and see, like 10 more comments, 3 of them directed at me.

I think fate conspires against you ever calling me. By all rights I should be the most available man alive as I'm off at 3:30 in the afternoon and then I just go home and rock out to video games; but this week Dave is in town, so I took off from work and have been away from home for a few days. No home=no phone charger=missed phone calls.

I don't know if you read the reply I left on Ryan's LJ, but I hadn't even cracked open the case to Fable yet by the time you beat it. I was trying to finish up Final Fantasy X. After all this discussion I just said "fuck it" and started playing yesterday. I'm about 4 hours in now, so I'm not the guy to ask for tips. This game is awesome though. Super awesome.

[dcdumbass]

ignore that last question, I've got the strategy guide now. So if you need to know anything, I'll have the answer.

4 wives and counting

this is our dorkiest thread ever

[ryansez]

Man, I only got 2. One of which is the mayor. And FYI my character is equally generous as he is heinous. MMM neutrality through extremes.

Re: this is our dorkiest thread ever

[dcdumbass]

You'd be surprised, we had a nice little Knights of the old republic thread one time, not to mention a FFXI thread. So really, this is just par for the course.

5 wives, and annoying little butterflies around my head.

Re: this is our dorkiest thread ever

[mountain_douche]

Oh, by the way, I officially uninstalled FFXI. I tried playing it the other day and it was going to require a massive download and upgrade, which conflicted with my desire to install Illustrator and Dreamweaver on my home machine, so I just got rid of it. It took 45 fucking minutes to uninstall
