The gay knight in shining armour

Bring back booby plate armour

 

Andraste preserve me...The Mods must have the patience of a saint to put up with this.

I hear ya. o/

When it's midnight in my country, it's already like 3 am in the Forum. 

Many times I come here and the posts are all at around 5 am. I's so strange; I feel like I've entered the Twilight Zone. 

 

Well, I always miss all the fun 'cause I can't check the thread as often as I would like. 

Plus here time difference and I'm starting to feel left out.

 

Since the day my friend, well, actually a friend of my brother, came up to me in school and said "Are you Russian? You look Russian." and then I feigned a Russian accent (terribly) and from that day on, he believed I was Russian. Still does. ...It's been 5 years...

 

 Hope you lived up to his expectation.

 

As regards languages, I'm gonna quote posts I made in 2006 and 2007 respectively in another forum...

 

snip.. hope he won't mind..

 

Thing is, I am glad I don't speak/understand them because then I don't think I would be able to judge them as beautiful or not.  I have no idea how to judge English, for example.  It's simply "language" to me and processed as information, not art, by my brain.  Now, some accents are more lovely than others, but the language itself?  Not a clue how it "sounds" as a language.  Hope that makes sense.

 

I think I understand. One linguist (don't remember a name) said that Russian has special "melodica" (don't know how to translate it to English), but I don't hear it.

I hear words and focused on context.

All I know that our accent is funny 

 

Old Russian romance. Slow and gloomy, just as we like. 

 

OK, I'm barely keeping my eyes open.

Good night, BG, Poodle, DQers.

What determines the X?

Oh.  I just meant whatever your preferred measure is based on the 'severity' of the penalty.  Dunno if that system's being used here or not?  IIRC (couldn't find the orig thread, unfortunately) different events/topics had different penalties for the number of shots/sips.

 

Edit: oh how the memories come flooding back... I believe any mention of 'Indoctrination Theory' was a harsh penalty, like finish the drink in your hand in one.  Something like that anyway.

Okay, so I've been home for the weekend just playing the goddamn game for a change (with headphones on for ultimate immersion, too), and I kinda am sentimental enough to share something.

 

There's this place in the Hissing Wastes which you reach on the far side of of the mountain ridge, and it's only accesible via a complicated maze of timber scaffolding. In a very narrow, horizontal fissure in the otherwise straight face of the mountain, a thousand feet above the ground, there's a little makeshift sleeping den with a bonfire and two bedrolls, facing the open space of the desert & the nightsky.

 

 

For some reason, this has got to be the single most cozy, most welcoming place I've ever seen in a video game in a long time.

 

As a wee lad, I would always feel the most comfortable & safe in narrow spaces - say, I built forts pretty much out of everything. You could just lay inside there and just think your weird geek kid thoughts -in a time before knowing sh*t about Star Wars was anywhere near cool- only there, they were all okay for a change - I am confident now and have a full life I enjoy living, yet apparently, I still value that sentiment today. Truth be told, I could barely leave, and I created a seperate save file to preserve the discovery. I know It's not much of a hidden thing; rather something normally functioning people simply don't pay attention to.

 

Under all the criticism, all the expectations we have and the high horses we bring to that imaginary battle... those video games that we love to play, discuss and feel so strongly about while we tear up every silly detail until the last frame rate debate - in the end they're just little pillow forts to help you imagine, and fuel thoughts that make you happy.

 

Sometimes, I propose, you just need to soak up these good things. The ones that don't explain themselves, and just let them be what they are.  Like a spirit from the Fade, they will just be good. And you will feel good, just like that.

 

 

P.S.: Thanks for listening to my near-dementia ramblings.

P.P.S.: Yes, I do know it's just two bedrolls and a bonfire.

D'aww Dieb made me want to go give him a hug.

[Dieb]

No hug needed, I feel great. Kinda wanted to express that actually!

 

Must be the tea speaking, I'm sorry.

Di, I just teared up reading that. So maybe I'm just uber sappy, but you made my night by sharing this.

From Scout Harding for your drinking pleasure comes this compliments of the booby plate armour thread:

Spoiler

Except for the dick thing it is perfect. I wouldn't mind it in game since I am not forced to wear that, and I only care about my character. I would even put it in a male character if we could choose dick size, I hate bick dicks, the small ones are cute.

(It's a stupid comment in context but way funnier without it.)

After reading Dieb's heartfelt post, I can only answer in one way:

What the bloody ever living hell? *guzzles*

[Al Foley]

¿Que pasa, señor Hawkeye?

lolz  That quote up there from the boob plate thread.  

[Lynroy: Final Edition]

This one will go down as the fastest thread ever to be locked in the History of the BSN Forum: http://forum.bioware...transformation/

So our friend has a new account?

[Lynroy: Final Edition]

Because it waits for you to leave.

*Roly greatly approves*

 

You're kinda hot when you lay down the law!

Aaaaaand your post gave me a massive cringe-headache.
