"Vaermina commands you!"
conversationsaboutvideogames:
EGo: THE END IS NIGH!
Me: The end of Skyrim?
EGo: The end times as foretold in prophecy!
Me: Yes. I am the harbinger of doom, because I can’t go back and play another 30 hours of this game just for that achievement.*
Me: Prepare for Ragnarok.
EGo: Now I have to look up what that achievement entails.
Me: Basically, I let ONE person live when I should...

MY GIRLFRIEND'S GAME COMPANY IS A FINALIST IN A... →
Creo Ludus Entertainment is one of five finalists in YetiZen’s Get-In-The-Game Pitch Competition in San Francisco, and the winner will be announced on March 8th. Holy jesus, that’s a little over a week from now! While it’s not an official GDC (Game Developer’s Conference) event, the competition will take place at the same time, which I think is pretty darn serendipitous....

"An orc follows to the death."
conversationsaboutvideogames:
Me: I accidentally killed Ghorbash after clearing a good portion of a dungeon. No recent save, so I’m not reloading.
GF: Why is it so hard for you to keep your companions alive? How did he go?
Me: He didn’t drop down into this tunnel shaft with me. Just stayed at the top like a pansy. I know he was up there because I ran all the way back when I didn’t see him...

"Greetings, marsh-friend."
conversationsaboutvideogames:
GF: Do you know what I just did?
Me: No, what?
GF: I’ve been close to becoming over-encumbered, so I went into a shop to sell a few of my wares. The guy likes me, so I’ve been getting a few good deals. And then I come across this Argonian heart that I’ve had for a while. I realize I have no use for it, so I just give the heart to this guy. When I back out...

Fighter's Guild bros before Draconis family hos.
conversationsaboutvideogames:
GF: Oh my gosh!
Me: Eh?
GF: I love this game.
Me: But… Yesterday, you hated it.
GF: That was yesterday. I was speaking from a position of anger.
GF: Anyway, I’m still trying to kill all of the members of the Draconis family. I just happened to tell one of them that I was going to kill her. Then she ran after me, so I ran into the Fighter’s Guild,...

conversationsaboutvideogames:
GF: Oh, no… Oh, NO. I think I killed Shadowmere!
Me: OH NO! …Can you loot him?
GF: I am a Silencer of the Dark Brotherhood, but never before have I felt the cold sting of death. …Can I loot Shadowmere?
Me: Is he really dead?
GF: I don’t know!
Me: If he’s really dead, I think you can loot him.
GF: He’s gone.
Me: He’s GONE?
GF: Here’s...

We all deal with loss in different ways.
conversationsaboutvideogames:
(Note: I told my girlfriend for the longest that she should play The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. She was reluctant, as it would be her first real RPG. Then she saw me playing Skyrim. Once she realized that Oblivion was the precursor to the awesomeness in Skyrim, she resolved to start playing its prequel.)
GF: God fucking damnit, I’m pissed. Oblivion!
Me: ...

Zombie Apocalypse
Fan Question: In the event of a Zombie apocalypse, what would your survival plan be?
Tegan Quin: Oh Wow. This seems like you Sara, this is like, you're kind of dark and shit...so this one's probably all yours.
Sara Quin: Listen, I've said it before, I don't want to be around when shit goes down.I do not have a survival instinct. This is probably what makes me an inadequate partner romantically.I don't want to.I don't care. I don't wanna fight, I don't wanna cut wood, I don't wanna live without electricity. I don't care. If it comes down to it and you're wondering to yourself as you scramble from cave enclosure to cave enclosure looking for shelter, fighting for survival, if it ever crosses your mind "I wonder if Sara from Tegan and Sara is still alive, too" No, I’m not. I absolutely am not.

You can’t go anywhere with Lydia.
conversationsaboutvideogames:
EGo: In Skyrim you can enchant your own stuff?
Me: Indeed! There is also a cheevo for having 100,000 gold. Which I have hit. And now have piles of fucking money.
EGo: Do you have Lydia just roll around in it?
Me: Didn’t you see my tweets? LYDIA IS DEAD. I KILLED HER BY ACCIDENT.
EGo: Yeah, that’d be when I’d reload.
Me: I did, seriously, at least 50 or 60...

Yesterday, I turned 22.
I will admit, I wasn’t looking forward to my birthday. Somewhere along the line, I stopped feeling like my birthday was special. But today? Oh my goodness, yesterday was different. Yeah, I had to work ten grueling hours and then catch up on some homework, but that doesn’t even matter right now.
I received several messages yesterday, reminding me that I am not forgotten. That I am...

I want someone to turn me into a comic book...
Ideally, someone as cool as Tank Girl, but I fear that my nerdiness would get in the way of accuracy. But I could be the most bad-ass nerd around! How sweet would that be?
