Lost in the Gameline Part 6

He checked the clock at the upper left side of his screen.

The time read 01:32.

BecauseTTHW:  oh! Fuck man! We give the quest and I got to go. It’s late

Darkshadow89:  k! sure. Add as a friend? We worked well together and it was fun.

BecauseTTHW: Sure.

After a little wandering the found the npc that the quest was asking and got the exp plus a mysterious gift each.

Darkshadow89:  I know those! They give random rewards so something really nice might come to you.

BecauseTTHW: yeah? What type? Weapon, armor?

Darkshadow89:  Anything. I got a bunch of nice healing potions, how about you?

BecauseTTHW: hmm a pet I guess.

Darkshadow89:  You guess?

BecauseTTHW:  Well its an egg and I need to take to some… Ah fuck this shit I am loging out, level up can wait till tomorrow

Darkshadow89: lolls, ok man cya around

BecauseTTHW: Cya.

He logged off, get the glasses and the bracelet of, and had a long stretch.

-       Man, I need to sleep, tomorrow will be hard to get up.

He visited the bathroom for a quick stop before going to bed. He had a nice sleep, dreams of the game came at him, he saw the woman telling him he was special and that he needed to be careful, for his path was a treacherous one, the future of the kingdom was resting in his solders.

            The next day awoke the most annoying for him time, ten minutes before the alarm got of.

            That was the sol most annoying thing that could happen to him. he didn’t mind to wake up with the alarm of the clock cause he was psychologically prepared for it, but to wake up before was just a waste of sleep, you couldn’t sleep again and you lay there waiting for the clock to go off. Sometimes he thought that this would be the way demons would torture him in hell.  

             But beside that he felt good, as if he had slept for hours.

-       Hmm that’s good for a change.

He washed up, made a coffee to take with him and went to work.

-       Good morning young man! A voice greeted him as he got out of the door.

-       Good morning Mr Evans. His neighbor, he really didn’t have time for him.

-       Early start eh?

-       As usually, as you know, now forgive me but I will be late for work.

-       Don’t want to hold you up son. Have a nice day!

-       Thank you. Have a nice day to. He said and started walking down the street.

The Ghost Rider Vol1 or The Greatest Ghost Rider Ever!

Hi kids!

This review isn’t exactly a review, see it more like me geeking out on one of my most beloved superheroes ever.

There has been some time after the release of the second Ghost Rider movie and buy now I don’t think that there is a person out there that doesn’t know how bad this movie is (he either saw it himself or as in my case got a warning call from a friend or two).

As everyone knows

Everyone that doesn’t live in a cave that is.

no movie can have a frame to frame reproduction of a comic's or a book’s aesthetic and feel, at best they can stay faithfully to the majority of the script giving good references to the original work as the Lord of The Rings Trilogy, at worst we have something like Eragon.

We as viewers understand that (trolls excluded) and cut some slack to the poor bastards that rewrite and edit the story.

But then something like Ghost Rider comes along and pees in our dreams.

I won’t start now the yammering on the movie (the first) tow much time has pass from its release and many others have yammer longer and probably better than me, I will say two thinks thou:

1) I liked Nicolas Cage as Ghost Rider, it fits him.

2) The only scene I liked is with the two riders in the desert.

That’s the one!

For someone that doesn’t know Ghost Rider through the comic this is just another mediocre movie, for someone that knows Ghost Rider it’s a tragedy.

Lets see why.

The origin story got in to the movie about right, Johnny Blaze, son of a stuntman, after the death of his father gets adopted buy a stuntman that his father was working with and his family, when he was fifteen he gets in to an accident with his bike and his foster mother dies, before she dies she makes him promise to never ride in the show, so he doesn’t, years later his foster father gets diagnosed with cancer and he is biter that he doesn’t have a son to take over the job (I guess his daughter, an excellent stuntwoman in her own merit doesn’t count), so Johnny makes a deal with the devil to save his foster father, the deal is struck but then the old man without knowing that he is cured, tries an extremely dangerous stun thinking that if he is to die he better do it with his leather on, he dies and Johnny in a scene of anguish, pain, complete stupidity and useless bravado grabs a bike and complete the stun himself. The devil comes soon after to collect but Johnny is resisting him, just in time and to save the day Roxanne walks in and saves his ass.

 Sure that’s how it works.

In the following weeks Johnny Cage pass his days as a stuntman and his nights he tries to hide as he transforms in to the Ghost Rider.

He mostly tries to keep a low profile and you really need to get out of your way to make him come after you, (unlike some other superheroes), in the first 13 issues the only think that really makes him move his ass is the constant kidnapping of his girl.

After a long line of failures Satan finally manages to get Roxanne to renounce her protection on Johnny thus putting him under Satan’s power again until this guy appears.

He reminds me of someone, but I just can’t remember whom.

He frees him from Satan’s power and cut him off his deal, he steel transforms as the Ghost Rider the night but now he is weaker, a lot weaker.

Even in his newfound weakness Ghost Rider starts to go out of his way to help others and later he discovers that he actually likes that, oh! and that he can now control the transformation.

At that point I firmly believe Marvel couldn’t hold her self back any longer and started throwing idiotic villains at him and some heroes to balance the tide, so we see him team up with the Stunt-Master, Daredevil and The Son of Satan (without of course counting his crossover with the Thing, Hercules and others) and saving damsels in distress the one after the other, he manages to get a job in a movie as a stun double of Stun-Master? (wtf? Seriously wtf?) and finds for himself some new gals to love. He has managed to get his power back (even more that he previously had) as he faces the devil and exorcise him from a woman that turns to be Roxanne Simpson his first and true love. For various reasons he leaves here. His curse wins out in the end and he has to leave the set for good as a) the movie gets canceled and b) his demonic nature revealed to the public. No worries though because soon after this happens!

Only one word can describe this page: Badass!

Yes! He fucking races Death with final prize (what else) his life.

Things go only uphill from there on. No not for Johnny Cage, never for Johnny Cage, for the story, for us.  He continues to wander and help people wherever he can but he discover that as Ghost Rider he has rage in his heart and he becomes ruthless, he struggles every time to control his urge to kill and maim and bath every guilty one in hellfire. He fights an old Ghost Rider that didn’t manage to free himself from the devil, destroys an evil sadistic Genius and his flying disk, meets Doctor Strange, destroys cults,  loses the title of the best Stuntman in a fair contest, travels in time to meet the Night Rider (His first name back in 1967 was Ghost Rider) and to help some Indians,  gets separate from Ghost Rider and manage to unite with him again, catches the interest of Asmodeus, travels to Arabia and finally finds something that resembles a home at a circus as a head stun-man.

At some point Asmodeus goes to Mephisto (previously known as Satan) and asks to have Ghost Rider under his responsibility, Mephisto reveals that the true name of Ghost Rider is Zarathos and decides to have a contest with Asmodeus.

Nah! No way that ever happens, not a snowballs chance in hell.

So he splits yet again Zarathos and Johnny Cage and puts them on a special race. They have to reach the end of a road full with demons and traps together and if they managed it at the end of the line freedom awaits them, they wont be united any more. Of course thinks don’t go as smoothe and even though they reach the end of the line they fight each other and end up united together yet again. But a chain reaction starts. a little time passes and Zarathos comes in contact with a being that reveals him his true identity, he tells him that once he ruled a nation that worshiped him, he gave them power they gave him the souls of their victims, but Mephistot saw his rise and decided to stop him. He manages to trap him and erase his memories thus making him a slave for eternity. The person that reveals all this is called

Or as I prefer to call him: Pimp!

Yeap. This guy orchestrates the permanent release of Zarathos buy giving him all the control of Johnny’s body and imprisoning his mind (Johnny’s mind) in his realm. Somehow Johnny manages to escape and return to the circus were he finds Roxanne that asks his help. The comic (watch this its important) ENDS with the soul of Zarathos and the soul of an archenemy of his trapped inside a gem to fight and torment each other for eternity then this happens

Johnny Blaze and Roxanne go to leave their lives, probably get married, possibly have many kids and maybe they do all that together. And the story ends. That’s it. Fin. Credits roll, the crowd claps and the fat lady leaves the scene.

I insist on the fact of the end because its important, and there are two reasons for that:

1) Every story must have a beginning, middle, and end part. They might be far away (like the Wheel of Time series) but the must exist. I understand the need to extend the story for profit, but still come on, an end must exist.

2) Every other Ghost Rider ever published was either crap, or a mediocre bullshit (probable exceptions the runs of Garth Ennis, Road to Damnation and Trail of Tears), I am referring of course to the second and third volumes of Ghost Rider were chaos and complete bullshit manage to erupt in a tsunami that threatens to swallow all of your good memories of the First Rider.

Conclusion: If you want to know about the Ghost Rider read the first Volume its better than any other, coherent and down to earth (or as much as down as Marvel can get), a real piece of Gold in 89 issues. 

Thank you all!! Don’t forget to check my other reviews and short stories

Lost in the Gameline Part 5

Darkshadow89:Wow! That was good! We almost lost there for a moment!

BecauseTTHW: yeah, pretty intensefor a first lvl characters!

Darkshadow89: First? Dude check your character you should be at least sixth!

            He checked and saw that Darky was right. The instruction said that he should head to an instructor to make the lvl up.

BecauseTTHW:  Well I still got to take the people to the designed location to take the exp from the quest. Want to tag along?

Darkshadow89: Are u nuts of course I will! I also have that q. where you have them?

BecauseTTHW: In the forest, at a cave.

Darkshadow89: Lead up.

The trip to the cave and from there at the end of the quest was without much excitement, some random creatures weren’t much of a challenge, so without losing any one the managed to take all the people to safety.

BecauseTTHW: yeaay! Now time to go to the city. What about you?

Darkshadow89: City to, need to buy staff and train.

BecauseTTHW: nice lets roll!

They were about half way when they were attacked buy a pack of wolfs, about seven of them, as soon as they saw them a hunt like no other began.

Darkshadow89: wtf! From one crazy mob to another! What’s with this game?

BecauseTTHW: can we out run them?

Darkshadow89: note a snowballs chance in hell.

BecauseTTHW: ok I shall take the little one you can handle the rest

Darkshadow89: %^$%H$%@G%G$BHNW%$W%GFA@R12rT@F@$3

The encounter was more tough that they expected and almost kick the dust a couple of times.

Finally half dead, depleted bye potions and any usable item they enter the city or as it is most accurate to say, they entered the village.

Bone Review

Hi! To all!

There few times in my so far reading career that I happen to meet a story so complete, in either a book or a comic, as in the story of Bone.

What do I mean as I say complete?

I don’t mean of course the Beginning-Middle-End part, all but few stories out there end without reaching an “END” without giving as a conclusion of what happened. The cause of most of them is usually some tragic event outside the writes powers to shape (o most fitting example is the comic Poison Elves), the rest is usually the artistic douchbagery of a writer who is screaming for attention or has no idea of what to do (see LOST, or as a second though don’t see it, go as far away from it as possible)

I hear North Pole is nice this time of the Year. Try there.

My meaning of complete has to do with unanswered question in the story, plot points that the writer either doesn’t want to answer, or has forgot them at some point, or he simple doesn’t give a fuck.

Bone on the other hand has a complete story among other awesome things like great story, nice artwork and incredible characters.

Also the most delicious pies.

More specifically.

Bone is a Comic written and sketched by Jeff Smith.

Its him officer, I swear I saw him with my own eyes!

It follows the travels of the three cousins: Fone Bone, Phoncible P. "Phoney" Bone and Smiley Bone. These awesome creatures have been cast out from Bonevile their city (a city more alike to our world than any other place in that world) and wander the desert.

Each of them is a unique character with his strong and weak points that you see through the series.

First is the Fone Bone: He seems as the most reasonable of the three cousins, he has a passion for Moby-Dick a book which seems to bores the rest of the world in to oblivion, it bores them so much that at one point he actually uses it as weapon. He splits his time between keeping his cousins out of trouble and writing poetry about Thorn.

He is also the manliest of the man.

Then there is Phoney Bone: One thing I can say about this Bone. He has determination. Really he has. He is not courageous, he isn’t strong or exceptionally smart or anything but he never gives up his goal to become rich, even in a community where they don’t use money he doesn’t give up. The most incredibly schemes come out from his mouth and get materialized in a snap. He is loyal to his cousins (probably the only persons he puts over money) and doesn’t hold a grange. Admittedly he is the cause of most of the troubles the three cousins get themselves in.

As I said never giving up.

Last but not in any way least is Smiley Bone: The most joyful of the bone cousins. The smile never leaves his face and if it does isn’t for long, he is honest almost to a fault, always lending his help, even to the most stupid plans of his cousin Phoney.

Yeap. One of the plans.

There is a bunch of great characters in the comic, like grandma Rose, Ted and Lucius. All of them with great back story that we discover later in comic, well all except Ted , he is a bug.

See he admitted himself.

I don’t want to spoil it for you so I will end my review here.

As a conclusion: If you ever get yourself in the vicinity of this comic buy it without any hesitation whatsoever, it will worth it. It has everything in it, be it epic battles? Funny situations? Magic? Love? You will find it all as you walk along with those awesome cousins in their epic journey.

Lost in the Gameline part 4

He put on the glasses and the wristband and connected them at his pc. He did the necessary driver installations and tried the game again.

     

      He entered the game and choose his character.

      A video begun showing his character interacting in a village with some NPCs. The image was good with the glasses but it was equally good without them as he discovered when he got them of. He shruged and put them back on. Suddenly the village gets attacked by some bandits, one of them hits his character on the head (hmm maybe the use of glasses is to give a pseudo 3D impression) bits and peaces of the battle pass through his screen, killing, rape, fires. The view and the glasses gets black.

-     Wake up. You have a job to do.

      A form appears in front of him. It’s a little hazy so he removes the glasses to see better, the screen is black.

      He puts the glasses back on.

The form (a woman) stands in front of him and extends here arm to him and helps him to get up (the view is first person).

-       You must escape and take as many of the prisoners as you can with you, here this will help you ( he gets the first spell of the game “Magic Spark”) I will try to help other as you, but don’t count on that, and above all don’t stay and fight.

            The screen clears and his character sees that his chains are open. A pop up window informs him that he has a spell that he can use and how to do so. a Bar at the left side shows his health and manna points and… anxiety percentage? Well ok whatever. He hotkey the spell and follows the instructions of the game, on how to attack, hide crouch, cast spell, equip items etc, in all this he manages to free 5 captives.

            The game informs him that the Tutorial part is over and that now the enemies are at 100% capacity.

- It was about time.

            First thing first. He must leave the people that follow him at a relative safe place and come back for the rest. He starts to move stealthy towards an exit of the camp. A guard was caught surprised and that was the most exiting think of this run. He left them at a cave 5 (real time) minutes of the camp, he later would return to take them and the others at the required to end the quest location.

            At his second run the thinks were a bit harder, there were more guards and were more watch full. He had a battle or two but manage to not attract any other NPC. This time he got out 20 people.

           

            At his third run the camp was at chaos, it seemed as if the noticed him (sings of him)  or  noticed that the prisoners were missing. But as turned up the general alarm weren’t for him, another player were moving out people and the idiot had managed to get all the camp chasing him.

- Well only one think I can do.

           

            He started to free the rest of the prisoners. This joker was really good at staying alive! He had most of the camp on him for almost half hour and even managed to kill 2-3 of the guards.

            With the prisoners all out of the way and nothing to do but get them at the desinged place he found himself to watch this person as he juggled all the guards.

- What the hell, as might as well give him a hand.

           

            He started to trail him and taking out the guards that were the farther behind. It took them about forty-five minutes to take them all out making this officially one of the longest game battles of his career. And one of the most awesome ones of course.

Lost in the Gameline Part 3

Refreshed from the bath he took a stroll to the fridge and grabbed a beer. Then same sausage and cheese. And some sauce. And come on a little breed doesn’t heart anyone.

            Twenty minutes later he got up from the table, took his second beer and finally sat in front of his pc.

The Installation was complete. There were some commercial banners decorating the starting screen. As he saw he had the option to start the game, go to forums, update and exit.

He tried the update. As it Turned out he was to date so he started the game.

The log on screen was one of the usual, tall trees nice lights, relaxing music.

He entered his username and passport and pressed enter.

A window with some options appeared. It read :

Choose Timeline:

Medieval Europe

Present western world

Future Western world

Ancient East

Present East

Future East

-       What the? Hey Bugoner at what timeline do you play?

-       Ah! Hey man, I got two, Medieval Europe and Future East.

-       Oooook, lets steak to the classics Medieval it is.

-       Cool man, look I got something to do. See you there in about half hour forty minutes tops k?

-       Ok man cya.

He choose Medieval and got at the Character creation screen. Two option there, random and custom.

-       Pff, yeah right, custom it is.

-       Chose Status? Noble.

-       Brothers? 0 thank you.

-       Title of father? Hmm lets go for Baron

After about 20 minutes of choosing hair, eyes, width, etc he finally end up wit a character he liked. He clicked START GAME.  A message appeared: Connect Glasses and Wristband.

Oh right yeah, forgot about that.   

Ζάλοκ ο Ορεσίβιος του Λοφίσκου.

Μαλακίες λένε οι γηραιότεροι. 

«Αν πηγαίνεις στο βουνό κάθε μέρα και εξασκείσαι (αφού κάνεις πρώτα όλες τις δουλείες σου),θα βρεις μια μέρα μπροστά σου ένα τρομερό κτήνος και με το σπαθί του πατέρα σου θα το σκοτώσεις κερδίζοντας δόξα και φήμη για όλη σου τη ζωή καθώς και μια θέση στου παλάτι του Λέοντα όπου θα έχεις όσο φαί και γυναίκες θες (αυτό το τελευταίο τον μπέρδευε πιο παλιά άλλα τελευταία ψιλό άρχιζε να υποψιάζεται τι σημαίνει, κάτι με πλύσιμο είχε να κάνει ή με μπάνιο μιας και από διαφορές σπόντες κατάλαβε ότι οι γυναίκες θα ήταν μάλλον γυμνές)».

Είχε περάσει άπυρες ώρες εξάσκησης στο βουνό, αλλά κάτι το γεγονός ότι το πιο άγριο ζώο της περιοχής ήταν ένας ταύρος κάτι τα σχόλια και τα γελάκια των υπολοίπων νέων τις περιοχής, κατάλαβε ότι τον κορόιδευαν, τα παράτησε λοιπόν όλα, πήρε το σπαθί του πατέρα του και το έσκασε μες το βράδυ πριν δυο μέρες. Φοβούμενος κυνήγι (δεν ήταν σίγουρος γιατί, αλλά οι ιστορίες αυτό του υποδείκνυαν) πήγαινε όσο πιο προσεχτικά μπορούσε. Κρύβονταν πίσω από βράχια και σε σπηλιές και δεν άναβε φωτιά το βραδύ για να ψήσει το φαί του. Όχι ότι είχε και πολύ σημασία και άμα άναβε, το φαγητό του ήταν φρούτα και ρίζες και παστό κρέας τίποτα άλλο. Θα μπορούσε να κάνει Κανά βραστό άμα είχε καμιά κατσαρόλα μαζί του (δεν είχε), ή να ζεστάνει κανένα τσάι (δεν είχε δοχείο να το βάλει, ακόμα και αν έβρισκε κατσαρόλι να το βράσει), η να ζεσταθεί ο ίδιος κοντά στη φωτιά άμα δεν ήταν Ιούλιος, με τα βράδια να είναι αρκετά ζεστά από μόνα τους ακόμα και στα βουνά του (ας τα αποκαλούσαν οι έμποροι λοφίσκους και αμμόλοφους, τι ήξεραν αυτοί) ή για να διώχνει μακριά τα άγρια θηρία (αν και ή υπέθετε ότι κάποιο θηρίο σαν τον ταύρο δεν έδινε δεκάρα τσακιστεί για φωτιές και μπούρδες) αλλά δεν ήταν και πολύ σίγουρος άμα ήθελε να διώξει όπιο ζώο του ερχόντανε ή να το πολεμήσει ηρωικά μέχρι τελικής πτώσεως και στο τέλος όταν αυτό παραδέχονταν την ήτα του να το πάρει σαν πιστό του φίλο – υποζύγιο, μάλλον το δεύτερο.

Ήταν πια μια βδομάδα που είχε φύγει από το χωριό και ήταν πιο μακριά από ότι είχε πάει ο οποιοσδήποτε συγχωριανός του. κατά το δειλινό της μέρας καπνός φάνηκε στον ορίζοντα και λίγο πιο μετά οι καμινάδες από όπου έβγαινε. Αναθάρρησε και τάχυνε το βήμα του. σήμερα θα έμενε σε πανδοχείο, θα έπινε ζήθο και οίνο και θα τον ερωτευόταν η σερβιτόρα, αλλά αυτός ευγενικά και σαν κύριος θα την απέρριπτε κάνοντας φοβερή εντύπωση σε όλους με τον φοβερό και πλούσιο χαρακτήρα του.  

Ας πούμε πως τα πράγματα δεν πήγαν  ακριβός όπως τα περίμενε.

Βαρθολομαίος «Τεμπερ» Ολντμποουν – Μυρίζω πόλεμο.

Είναι τιμή κάποιος να γεννηθεί νάνος. Τουλάχιστον έτσι μου έλεγαν οι γονείς μου όταν ακόμα ήμουνα μικρός. Ο πατέρας μου ήταν τμηματάρχης τότε σε μια υπηρεσία του βασιλιά, εγώ είμαι πολλή μικρός για να θυμάμαι σε πια και ο πατέρας μου ή οι υπόλοιποι δεν μου λένε, δεν τους αρέσει να θυμούνται τα παλιά. Όταν λέω υπόλοιποι εννοώ βέβαια την μάνα μου και τα δύο μου αδέλφια, ο πρώτος στην οικογένεια μας λέγεται Στέακ «Στουνσμας» Ολντμποουν, είναι έμπορος, γυρίζει τις χώρες προσπαθώντας να μαζέψει ξανά την παλιά μας αίγλη και περιουσία. Η δεύτερη στην οικογένεια λέγεται Σεσίλια Ολντμποουν και αυτή είναι η αιτία της πτώσης της οικογένειας μας αλλά πιο πολλά για αυτό μετά. Ο πατέρας μου λέγεται Σαρδόνιος «Σαρπμάιντ» Ολντμποουν και η μητέρα μου Λοτέκα Ολντμποουν. Εγώ ονομάζομαι Βαρθολομαίος «Τεμπερ» Ολντμποουν και είμαι ο μικρότερος της οικογένειας.

            Όπως σας έλεγα η οικογένεια μου ήταν μια ευκατάστατη οικογένεια νάνων, ζούσαμε ήσυχα, το μόνο αξιοσημίοτο ήταν ο θάνατος μιας αδερφής μου όταν ήταν ακόμα πολύ μικρή, ούτε για αυτό ξέρω λεπτομέρειες, ξέρω όμως ότι η μητέρα μου δεν συνήλθε ποτέ τελείως από αυτό.

            Όλα άλλαξαν όταν μαθεύτηκε το σκάνδαλο της αδελφής μου. Ότι το έσκασε με την βοήθεια ενός χαλφ-όρκ. Ήταν μετά από τον καβγά που της έκανε ο πατέρας μου όταν ποια αποφάσισε να φύγει. Οι γονείς μου προσπάθησαν να καλύψουν το σκάνδαλο αλλά μάταια. Η ντροπή που έπεσε στην οικογένεια μου φοβερή. Μία Ολντμποουν να εγκαταλείψει έτσι το σπίτι της και την οικογένεια της, ακόμα χειρότερα να εγκαταλείψει το βουνό παρέα με ένα Ημίαμο σκουπίδι; Μέσα σε λίγες μέρες βρήκαν κάποια ηλίθια δικαιολογία και διώξανε τον πατέρα μου από την θέση του, όλοι οι γνωστοί και «φίλοι» του γύρισαν την πλάτη. Κανείς δεν του/μας είπε ποτέ τίποτα στα ίσια αλλά όλοι άλλαζαν στενό όταν μας έβλεπαν. Ή μητέρα μου αποκόπηκε από τους κύκλους της και οι δανειστές άρχισαν να κυκλώνουν την οικογένεια μας σαν πτωματοφάγα σκουλήκια. Μη μπορώντας να αντέξει άλλο ο πατέρας μου πείρε την υπόλοιπη οικογένεια του και έφυγε από το βουνό και εγκατασταθήκαμε στο χωριό Κορακοράχη, εδώ που είμαστε αυτό το χωριό. Με τις τελευταίες του οικονομίες πήρε τα πρώτα εμπορεύματα για τον αδερφό μου και τον έστειλε να γίνει έμπορος και πλήρωσε έναν μισθοφόρο να με εκπαιδεύσει σαν πολεμιστή, ό ίδιος λιώνει κάθε μέρα προσπαθώντας να βρει κάποιο τρόπο να μας επαναφέρει στην παλαιά μας δόξα.

Αλλά ας μην είναι τα λόγια μας  σαθρά χαλίκια, μόνο τρία πράγματα σέβονται οι νάνοι, τον χρυσό, την δόξα στην μάχη και το παρελθόν τους. Αρκετό χρυσό δεν πρόκειται να μαζέψουμε σε αυτή τη γενιά, ίσος σε δυο τρεις, τα βασίλεια των νάνων έχουν βρεθεί πια όλα, όποτε δεν μπορούμε να ανακαλύψουμε ηρωικά κανένα, το  μόνο που μας μένει είναι η μάχη και αν και σου φαίνονται ειρηνικοί καιροί εγώ μυρίζω πόλεμο στον αέρα. Όλοι είναι νευρικοί με την μεγάλη φωτιά του δάσους και ακούγονται λόγια για δαίμονες. Χα! Σου λέω πόλεμος είναι κοντά, και σε αυτόν τον πόλεμο θα ακουστή το όνομά μου. Να το θυμάσαι γέρο το όνομα μου Βαρθολομαίος Ολντμποουν γνωστός και ως «Τεμπερ», να το θυμάσαι γιατί θα το ακούσεις σε τραγούδια σύντομα, πολύ σύντομα. Εγώ θα επαναφέρω την οικογένεια μας στη παλαιά της αίγλη. Τη; Η αδερφή μου; Μπαχ! Ας πάει στο καλό! Πήρε μια απόφαση και την ακολούθησε έκανε ότι θα έκανε κάθε Ολντμποουν, όχι δεν είμαστε ενοχλημένη με την αδερφή μου, απογοητευμένη λίγο ίσος. Είμαστε όμως οργισμένοι με τα φίδια, τους προδότες και τους υθικό-υποκριτές στην πατρίδα μας. Αυτοί όταν επιστρέψουμε θα υποφέρουν.

Να το θυμάσαι και αυτό, θα υποφέρουν.

Lost in the Gameline part 2

-         Hey! good afternoon! You got a package.

It was his neighbor an old man that the smile didn’t seam to live his face, he could be a really nice guy if he wasn’t so damn curious about everything.

I mean the man was just so curious that could hammer you with questions for hours if you didn’t cut him of. And frankly after all this work he just wasn’t in the mood for it.

-         Hey thanks.

He noticed then that he wasn’t been asked about the package? That was weird.

-         I told the man that it was better if he would leave it to me, because you know the place isn’t as safe as it use to be.

That explains it. He already had it open.

-         Well thanks I guess, were is it.

-         Oh! Right one minute.

And with that he disappeared in the house.

He came out holding a big box which was covered with pictures of battle between men, beasts, demons etc and there were some really naked women strapped on some dungeons wall.

-         Can’t think why you need that think for? The old man said. A nice man like you could have any women he wished, its pity to see you get suck in th…

-         What! No this isn’t what you think! It’s for a game!

-         Really now? He said with a “Are you joking me” look on his face. Well I got to tell you in my time when you got a picture with so many boobs it wasn’t for game, the amount of tits in games was considerable less.

-         Yeah, well it’s a game, thank you for holding it but now I seriously got to go it was a long day and all, so cya later.

-         Yea ok, I got it you want your time to play with your game he said and winked at him that’s ok bye me, I ‘m just saying you know you should go out more, so see you around.

His head heart. First thing to do is eat some garbage, second take an aspirin and sit to the pc.

As he start opening the box he wished that he had fixed the air conditioner. It was the middle of June and it was as hot as hell in there.

In the box were a pair of glasses that you could plug at the computer via usb, a manual some papers (guarantee or something) the install disk and a wrist band that you (as the instruction said, that he later read ) should wear during gaming and could were at any time indoors - outdoors as a cool accessory … really now? Apparently you had to plug it at the computer along with the glasses.

In the end he started the install and went for a bath. He really needed it.
