teachers. HMMM…

Hey Guys,

So I guess an apology is due right about now for our apparent lack in new posts.  SORRY!  I could say that we’ve all actually just been really busy with our overly committed lives buuuut, that would be lying.  To be honest, we’re just a bunch of lazy asses overcome by lethargy.  I don’t think that actually makes sense…

But, here’s the post you’ve been waiting for.  It’s not that great cause I’m not the best writer, I’m more of an essay writer -  a boring one at that.

Anyway, (you’re gonna hate me for this), Dragon Age.  NO WAIT, DON’T STOP READING.  I promise I won’t ramble on about how awesomely awesome this game actually, truly is (it’s reaaaaaally  awesome xD).  I thought I’d blog about how weird, almost creepy in fact, it is that our teacher (or rather former teacher) is about to get into it.  Like, I get it;  Single, geeky, middle aged man = video game freak.  But honestly, DRAGON AGE ?!  Of all games, WHY !?  I’ll be honest, it’s an awesome game that ANYONE can get into, buuuut… It suddenly reduces the enjoyment of the game…

I guess there are a few things that you should actually understand about Dragon Age.  It’s R16.  The age restriction is there for a reason;

Mature Audiences: Blood, Intense Violence, Partial Nudity, Language, Sexual Content

Blood is understandable.  Killing isn’t satisfactory without the blood. (Video Game killing I mean…)  And Dragon Age is awesome because the blood is actually simulated and shows up.

Intense violence.  Well, that one’s pretty much the same. As well as Language.  It’s not even hard out swearing, just words like ‘bloody’ and stuff like that. 

Partial Nudity and Sexual Content.  Now this is the part I’m worried about.  Personally, I think the game would still be awesome without all the uhh.. to put it plainly, sex.  I didn’t even know that was part of the game!  But then you start running into brothels and there are assassins hitting on you as well as some bastard prince and next thing you know you’re in a tent doing it while the big evil guys could be there any minute to kill you.  (Luckily they don’t show the actual… y’know..) I don’t really get the necessity of it…

So as you can imagine, it’d be awkward if your teacher plays through the game and comes across such scenes.  The partial nudity is practically everywhere.  There’s Morrigan, who’s boobs are barely hiding behind a drape, and heaps of desire demons who are pretty much in minimalistic underwear.  Emphasis on the minimalistic.  Oh, and of course can’t forget the Broodmother.  She has eight boobs.  :)3333  << kind of like that but like, saggy-er.  But there’s nothing there that’s actual explicit or anything, so no, this isn’t porn.

Luckily for us, we don’t have to run into him for another two three weeks cause of exams.  And then after that never again, unless it’s one of those awkward walking-through-the-mall-avoiding-eye-contact moments.  But as of now I’m dreading that last day of school.  I can just feel an awkward conversation coming up.  REALLY awkward.

But yeah.  So, if there has to be a lesson learnt, it’s this.  Never ever ever discuss video games in front of your teacher.  EVER.

I hope that’s satisfactory for all you HATERS out there. 

GREY WARDEN OUT.  LOL.  Just kidding.
