What scares me, Antonio, is that there are games out there even worse. (Scarlet Blade anyone?)

It’s not a bad looking game, Nigel. I just wish, personally, that a pretty looking game could hold me. There was something about the game play and questing experience that also rubbed me the wrong way (as well as how the child characters were portrayed.)

Someone needs to call this game for what it is. Force Feed on Youtbe has already did it, just like this review. It is disgusting the “oversexualization” and “objectification” of female characters in this game, but the same applied to children is just too much. It disgusts people, it gives a bad reputation to gamers and to the asian market. It’s just like the invasion of the teenage hormone controlled drones in Oblivion and Skyrim mod scene. They just want all female characters looking like semi-naked anime characters with boobs bouncing around. What’s next?

I puchased and played fro ab out 6 weeks on release, then moved house, didn’t unpack gaming rig for a while, unsubbed…

Now I’m back playing it because well, it has the combat system that I really enjoy and it’s now Free-to-Play!
Now that I don’t need to justify my sporadic spare time I spend gaming into a monetary value it has become a lot more fun. However the same can be said for any subscription MMO I suppose, so I guess it’s the combat that draws me.

It’s just fun.

However I just saw some footage(review) on youtube of Neverwinter, so will likely look at that once release rolls closer… in the mean time Tera keeps me occupied.

Comment on What my favorite Qing Dynasty historical/fantasy dramas teach me about being female then. by Melissa

The image is from the series The Legend of Zhen Huan, which was pretty much every cliche period drama packed into one. Yet the sets were gorgeous, the costumes amazing, and the main actress/actor who played the Emperor were actually very good. It made up for a lot of the usual sexism and ridiculous fainting :p

Love this post! I also love how ridiculous period piece dramas tend to be. What is the drama you refer to in the title?

Comment on My grandmother carried a kitchen sink. by Melissa

This, too, was one of my favorite pass-times and it drove my mother and grandmother absolutely NUTS. They never wanted me to rummage about in their purse–but it was always a secret place filled with goodies and sweets and weird things, so I always wanted to be in them. I got yelled at SO MANY TIMES for going through their things :p

I remember, as a child, having an inordinate love of going through my grandmother's purse. It was, to me, like the wardrobe that led to Narnia. I realize now that it was remarkably nosey of me, but at the time, I could care less. I just wanted to go through her purse; it always smelled of wintergreen, as she often kept wintergreen candies in it, or chewing gum. Thinking about it makes me remarkably nostalgic.

I particularly do enjoy the alarm tone, but the text is my second favorite for notification sound-snobs. Very high quality.
