Worst case scenario, someone that you will never meet again thinks your weird.
Best case scenario, they do it back.

Re: Random Off-Topic
Sad truth: noone in Britain plays souls.
People in Britain just don't game as much, even I'm wavering a little now due to amount of time I have spare..

Only two people I know in my social circles who plays Souls are an ex DkS player on the Xbox who BB-glitched and a PC player. I've been trying to convince my PS3 friends to play but I fear it's a lost cause

Every time I stretch, I praise the sun just in case. I haven't gotten any weird looks or thumbs yet, but that doesn't surprise me since a small fraction of people where I live play video games, and they only play CoD if they do.

Jaså? Det är nåt helt nytt för mig, har aldrig hört talas om finlandsvenska förut. Kul att det finns en annan svensktalande på de här forumen.
I woke up about 1 hour 30 minutes ago. It took me about another 30 minutes to actually ''wake up''. I kept falling asleep and waking up every other minute.

Re: Random Off-Topic
I kind of hate sleeping, so i'm not really sure if i'm suppose to enjoy it or not.
I think my body and mind secretly tortures me. :pale:
Edit: Something i've noticed while being a part of this forum is that i use the word ''though'' far too often. I don't mind it though.

Re: Random Off-Topic
I've been in war with sleep for far too long.
I'm actually a 9 year veteran. Sleep has often won though, and i fear we're about to give them the white flag too...
<- looks more like a sign but whatever.
I'm not sure what's worst though. One long nightmare, or having to jump in and out of one every other minute.

Re: Random Off-Topic
So, I bought Fable and I've gotten addicted to it. I can't stop repeatedly helping the guy get to the farm, or 'flirting' with every in game man, woman and child I see.
I'm loving it. For £1.74 off steam this is the balls.

Re: Random Off-Topic
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic.. after all it's a bit old for you... (you'd be what, 8 when it came out?)
But I wouldn't call it the best game ever, but it's certainly been very enjoyable. I like how it's pretty much impossible to be a pure class of anything, though I've neglected bows since i can just use ranged magic but hey ho.
The story is actually okay so far too, disappointing you HAVE to be a boy, though i can see how it would have to work that way in the story.

Re: Random Off-Topic
Dude, i suggested the game to you.
It's my favorite game, so no, i'm not sarcastic.
Edit: That game is also what got me interested in english to begin with, and plays a big role in getting me here to where i am today. The forum, that is.

I still might have to get number 3. The first two were quite good. I like the dog mechanic and a lot of the dialogue is funny as hell in two

Sorry, I don't really remember this kinda thing (though I've been wanting to play fable for as long as I can remember since I heard about it, always annoyed me it was xbox only release so glad I could get it on steam)
I'm not really considering 3, I heard it's more restrained, then again the world in fable in general seems a tad linear. It's a bit open open, but nowhere near as expansive as I would have liked and this turns into them extending it by making it just a long road with branches off it.. Then again this is original xbox we're talking about, games couldn't be as large as today.

Re: Random Off-Topic
I don't really think either Fable 2, nor Fable 3 really managed to live up to Fable: TLC. That doesn't mean any of them were bad, but rather had both ups and downs, both having downs that could be questioned. Like having people follow you in Fable 3. You had to hold hands, which meant you could only take one person with you. One!
They aren't bad though, oh no, most certainly not.
The reason i love Fable: TLC though, is because of the wonderous, mysterious and dark atmosphere. That i was i look in for a game, the atmosphere. Obviously the game could probably be ''improved'' with todays technology, but i'm glad it's not, as i feel even the graphics help the atmosphere somewhat.
Something that saddens me though, is that in an interview from a couple of years ago with Peter Molyneux, the head of Lionhead Studios, he stated that they always wanted to get away from Fable: TLC. That it never was the game they were striving for at all, but rather that Fable 2 was closer to it.
I don't have a link for the interview though, so you'd have to search on Youtube yourself.
Edit: I really love the soundtrack of Fable: TLC as well. One of the best soundtracks ever IMO along with the soundtrack from American McGee's Alice and Alice: Madness Returns.

Re: Random Off-Topic
I heard that 2 was more focused right? I think for some people fable 1 had no direction, which was seen as a flaw. I mean the main quest sometimes doesn't really seem appealing, so i just leave it to go kick some chickens and run in circles with my trusty spade...
Maybe they wanted a game where good and evil meant that they impacted the story.. sadly no game has done this, they don't generally wanna waste time on quests and storylines you might not even play because of certain predicates not being fulfilled.
I really wish I could write my own game based around morality like fable, and show the damn companies how it's done with a crazy storyline and character interaction.. sadly action rpgs aren't as focused on that as fun gameplay..
(Complete tangent here) Thats something that really bugs me about games. They always seem to focus on one thing and completely neglect another, and those that successfully do it are few and far between. In fact the only game series in which I've never consistently disliked what I consider to be the three most important part of games (Gameplay, Story, Graphic representation) are the post 90s and beyond Zelda console games and GTA.
I'd argue even dark souls falls foul of this, as much as I love it, the story is about as basic as you can get; "Guy finds out his destiny- long arduous journey- fulfills destiny + the end"

Re: Random Off-Topic
I can understand that. The thing i dislike about Dark Souls was that, while i love the mystery, there was nothing pulling me towards it. Never even once, as long as i've been a member have i actually been very interested in the lore at all. I've forced myself to watch videos made by ENB etc to actually get into it, which still didn't get me very far. But, yeah, i see where you're getting at.
The way i look at things evolving around this subject, is the same way i look on consoles. We could go so much further if all companies just stopped caring about the competition and working together, and believe me, i understand the competition and all, but just think of it. One epic console, one epic game, one epic movie and so on so forth.
I never felt like the GTA did good as far as stories though. It always seemed to be the same thing in every single game. You take on the role of some sort of criminal that either wants to atone for his sins or just get a large criminal business going, you know?
I'm pretty bad at these kind of discussions, but i hope you get my point.

"Off-topic:" Why do i torture myself? I love horror and all this kind of dark stuff, but goddamn it. It's 01.20 A.M over here, and i'm reading creepypastas, while also watching creepypasta pictures and listening to creepy music in my dark, empty livingroom, with one window with no curtains so that i'm feeling watched.
