The Casual Collective

What what (…) May 26, 2011

I’m still around! Barely.

My characters are kind of grounded at the moment. I just don’t have any drive to log into WoW. I’ve tried a couple free trial periods of Rift, and I’ve liked it. It’s almost too much choice, though. And the races don’t really feel different at all. I mean, WoW racials were always somewhat imba, but at least a night elf felt different from a dwarf. With Rift, it all feels the same. Still, a nice diversion.

But the big thing is that I’ve fallen in love. With Alistair. I am, of course, talking video-game-wise; so don’t be texting all up in Mr. Hubby’s grill axing him wassupwidat. I capitalized on a big sale and bought Dragon Age: Origins/Awakening.

I knew that that the game had some homo content (thanks to That’s Gay) but I didn’t realize that it would be so upfront. Like, within 5 minutes of creating my human noble I was totally cruising this son of a minor lord. wtf is this, Dragon Age: Adam4Adam?

So anyway, naturally I tried to put the moves on Alistair. And nothing worked! Then I found out it required an addon. DONE AND DONE. Now I feel a little dirty. And a little degraded, since the addon just makes Alistair perceive you as a girl, not fall in love with a guy. Sigh. I guess that’s realistic. But the avatar + the voice = hottness. Sigh.

So yeah. Off I go to, uh, kill the dragon.
