Firstly, Kick-Ass. I've already seen it twice since it came out: I enjoyed it more the second time, probably because I was with my friends and could really appreciate the bizarrity of the comedy, and the sort of atmosphere of the cinema was more 'That's hilarious' than 'This is too violent'. I love how it broke the conventions of an American hero film, and not putting explosions in like they're no big deal. However, I wasn't keen on the beginning and end being done the conventional easy way. Nonetheless, great film (Y) I'd definitely recommend it.
Now, back to Dragon Age. Such. A. Good. Game. I'm actually spending as much time on it as I can: I've got two more characters lined up after this one which I can play through again; I haven't done this since Oblivion. I really need a good RPG game right now too, it's just a great genre for losing yourself in; and we're playing a crap TTRPG at the moment.
At this point I'm gonna need to explain what that is, so skip past the italics if you already know.
TTRPG: Table-Top Role-Playing Game. It's a game - like Dungeons and Dragons - that is NOT a video game. You sit at a table, and have things described to you, and you actually act out a character. In many ways, it's far better than video games; there's no problems with graphics, loading screens, it's more fun because you're with your friends doing it, you get into it much more, and, most importantly, you have absolute versatility. There's no dialogue options, you can say absolutely anything you want to say. If there's a problem, there's as many ways to solve it as you can think of. Yes, it's just sitting around talking, in short.
At the moment, we're playing Vampire: The Masquerade. Now, I don't mind vampires in bits, but I've never been keen on things such as the idea of 'draining blood', or 'blood pouring'. I'm not always squeamish, but that really gets me. I don't particularly like anything about the game, to be honest, but it's my opinion verses Joe and Phil's.
But anyway, Dragon Age is amazing, and I'm going to play on it instead of typing away about how awesome it is.
On that note, I bid you adieu.
