Escort Missions - A Rant
WHY DO GAME DEVELOPERS THINK ESCORT MISSIONS ARE A GOOD IDEA???
Seriously. Keeping people alive while trying not to die yourself...ugh. >.o
Anyone else thinking of Fable? That goddamn whiny kid that was impossible to keep out of trouble? Or the traders you have to lead through the swamp? Jesus.
Well, I finally got Pepper ALMOST ALL THE WAY THROUGH the damn Dasha Vestibule. Well, the catch here is that Goren (a fucking lvl 18 Leeroy Jenkins) must stay alive. HE CHARGED THE LAST BOSS AND DIED SECONDS BEFORE SHE DID.

This is almost as irritating as the slider puzzles in adventure games. No, I take that back. NOTHING is as annoying as the slider puzzles in adventure games. >.<
WHY ARE THE THINGS THAT FRUSTRATE ME SO BLOODY ENTERTAINING???
*sigh*
*loads up the GW mission for the 6th time*
EDIT: Tch. Finally. Damn rambo-man. >.o So glad that's over.
And Pepper is catching up to Siren in Nightfall. O.o

In non-gamer news, I actually left the apartment today. o.o I know, I'm scared too! I went for a walk around the neighborhood, dropped some checks in the mail, watched some guys working on the roof of the old Webster theater (they've been renovating it since we moved down here 5 years ago!). There was an empty lot filled with clovers that I just wanted to roll around in, but I restrained myself.
Oh, and I almost got run over by some kids on skateboards. Are those in vogue again? It's weird to see kids much much younger than me enjoying an activity that is so painfully 90's. XD Some of them were so young...I don't think they're FROM the 90's!
I am getting really tired of people telling me that my pretty Elementalist/Ranger is no good and I won't get anywhere with a skill build. First off, it's my damn character, and I'll do what I want with her. Second, I LOVE HER PET POLAR BEAR. Third, of COURSE I'm not going to keep all the ranger skills later in the game. But right now she doesn't have enough magickyness in the elements I want, so bows and pets it is.
And in a more sensible construct, Maddie's a Ranger/Monk, but don't think that she can't mess your shit up. Just look at her. She's only died 3 times total, I might add.
Ahhh. ^_^ Hearts for my Nightfall girls.
Someday I'll get them off noob island. XD
These are just because I love Vabbi. It's light something straight out of Arabian Nights. The bridges are flying carpets and even the peasant NPCs are dripping with jewels. :D
And here's Koss dancing. Because it's KOSS. 8D
Siren totally has a crush on him. Shhh!
Oh, and the only thing that can dampen the hilarity of getting into an online argument with a 16-year-old asshole is realizing he hit the "ignore" button before you could get the last word in. It doesn't matter, though, because I was still right. XD I love winning.
