started playing skyrim again

there's something deeply unsettling about the fact that bought that game over 18 months ago and still haven't finished it.


admittedly, i've *only* played it for 93 hours, but there's still tons of the game left to explore. there's a whole quest line at the beginning of the game i straight up ignored because those fags wear light armor and call themselves warriors.

on the flip side, i'm pretty much maxed out as far as character development goes. sadly, the ultimate badass set is a little meh. i inadvertently stumbled on a much cuter ensemble when re-enchanting my smithing gear (protip: make magic items which enhance your ability to make magic items in order to achieve ultimate bad-assery). form however must follow function and the ultimate bad ass set is literally 100x better (115x actually, ignoring enchantments). fuck adventuring for magic items. i keep killing/contracting with daedra who at the end of the big quest give me some piece of shit magic club. then i break it, get the enchantment, and forge a new weapon that doesn't suck donkey balls.

also hoo boy does this game go off the deep end. so after joining the dark brotherhood i felt obligated to do some heinous shit and soon enough i'm eating priests. being a misogynist, i make a point to strip every female humanoid i slay and sometimes put them in awkward positions for my own juvenile amusement. later on i ended up getting a boon from dibella that gives me a permanent combat bonus against teh wimminz. it's liek the game knoeses!

and permeating all is the sheer absurdity of the genre. i mean does this look like an dragon-raping archmage/assassin/multi-thane nigga who drinks with the thieves guild and has a posh ass place in the capitol?

damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

I used to work for ChampGames (none / 0) (#2)

way back when. Here is a shrine/fan page mirror.

ChampGames and ChampProgramming hired me to debug some of their games. I wasn't given credit but they used Turbo C and Turbo Assembler like most other DOS based video games companies.

They called it Kong or ChampKong, but Nintendo decided to sue them anyway. You see originally Coleco had the video game console rights for Colecovision (It was the main game bundled with each Colecovision) and then the Atari 2600, Mattel Intelivision, etc. Then later Atari got the computer rights and made it for their 8 Bit series Atari 400/800, and the Commodore 64, Apple 2 under Atarisoft. THe problem was coleco and Atari were fighting for the right to Donkey Kong and other games, and Nintendo owns the rights from the arcade version and made one for their NES (Famicom) system. Well it turns out Nintendo had only sold the right to use the Donkey Kong game to both Atari and Coleco and later on revoked it and made their own version. Atari had tried to make a PC version of Donkey Kong but Coleco sued them and then Nintendo dropped their license to use and sell it.

So of course ChampGames made a Donkey Kong game called Kong to fill the vacuum. It had enhancements that the original did not for example that you could unlock by paying for a license. IIRC it was shareware you could play it for free, but if you paid for a code it would unlock features in the game to make it better.

But just like Nintendo took out the Crazy Kong, Donkey Monkey, and other copycats they also took out ChampGames and their Kong. So my job was gone.  Video games like Sega's Congo Bongo were like Donkey Kong, you got this guy climbing stuff to get to a big gorilla at the top but in Congo Bongo they made the steps 3D instead of 2D, and instead of Mario they had this Safari Joe guy, and instead of barrels he throws coconuts.

Anyway the job didn't last very long because of that. I see many companies like Zynga today ripping off other video games and it is part of their business model even "rip off popular video game, make tons of money. If sued, move the game to Zynga India and settle out of court and fire all programmers on that game, and sunset it in Zynga India until it can be replaced with a different stolen game design."

is perhaps thus your most ironic pursuit,
being guaranteed not to generate revenue,
and having the word "game" in the title,
although questionable whether it is a game or just a toy of sorts.

I haven't finished DaggerFall yet (none / 1) (#13)

or Morrowind either.

Haven't finished Oblivion and I doubt I will ever really 'finish' Skyrim.

I did finish Fallout 3 and pretty much been everywhere and done everything. EXCEPT no DLC.

I never finished New Vegas because of patches and bugs although it is arguably the better game. I did reach McClarren and hit the Casinos but that was as far as I got.

I beat the fuck out of GTA 3, Vice, San Andreas, and GTA 4. Several times actually. Played it multiplayer too. Love that shit. I started but never really enjoyed the Gay Tony or Lost & Damned DLC. Really looking forward to GTA 5.

I play Red Dead but I always rage quit because of random bears, cougars, that kind of crap. I love playing multi player with my boy. I like getting the mexican character and spamming the trash talk button. Fucking Mexican runs around doing missions all the while cussing in Spanish. It gets on my teams nerves but to me it is amusing as fuck.

I haven't been playing on the console much because of NO TIME and I had to get it repaired. It didn't red ring but it got hot enough to mess up the graphic card to where everything was a deep maroon. I'm undecided on the new Xbox One. I'm back to playing on a PC when I can find time to play. Like I got that new Tomb Raider game because I always get the Tomb Raider game. Then i have that Need for Speed and fuck i don't know. Oh yeah Borderlands 2. I'd like another Thief Game. But shit, even if it came out I find it difficult at this time to block out that much time for it.
