I make no secret of the fact that me and FF games just don't get along and that pretty much the series tainted my perception of jRPGs so hard that I'm still recovering (special thanks to Atlus here for providing the cure). My gripes vary from game to game and range from story to battle system, with most of the time getting a severe headache from ( Read more... )

So I hurd u liek big swordz

"Wuh..."
"Uhh... What in Praine's name did I do to my head... How many doors did I fly through last night?"
"...Thar' be a bra on me bridges... It be made of steel."
"Wh...what?"
"It be kinda comfortable, t' tell the truth..."
"Hey that's mine!"

Doors hate you

With all the work put into cursing his team mates about having to carry them back up again, the dwarf "forgot" to tell the owner of the cellars that they were practically done with the search. But the dwarf was by now so convinced of his mug-sword idea that he refused to leave before he found one and the argument that this was ( Read more... )

Gravity Hates You

Working hard for Scoobysnacks

But days in Thorwal were kinda... dangerous. The party was attacked by out of control carriages, people chucking water out of their windows, ( Read more... )

Fireball? What's that?

The bickering of the dwarf and warrior repeated each time they encountered a door and each time one of them found themselves flying through it. This became so much a habit that even Slushie stopped trying to break up the fighting and join the rest of the party in secretly taking bets on who will be opened the door with next.

Awkward encounters

After the party's brief venture into the show business, Slushie managed to recover well enough to venture into the depths of the cellar again. The owner's questions were very readily responded to by the dwarf's middle finger and before he could even recover from such a witty retort, the party was gone. Once again, the cellars were ( Read more... )

Hiking time was fun and lasted about a whole day ( Read more... )

Thar be no business like sho' business

It took Slushie several days to return to full strength. But money was tight. Staying at inn was cheap but not cheap enough. And so the group resorted to methods similarly dangerous, also involving deep dark places, but with less requirement for stamina.

Our band of heroes was about to enter the treacherous ( Read more... )
