Have nice Christmas? blah,…blah..Yeah me too, go anywhere? blah…blah..Yeah it’s for kids….yeah…I got my young fella Dragon Age, It got a lot of hype in the press…I know, me too, I don’t like using a wonderful tool like a computer for games..he’s ten so…Got it home and it says 18 . He’s ten. They wouldn’t take it back. Well, I guess it’s a guideline, probably a bit bloody , jesus its only a game so I loaded it up to check it out……Oh,dear you have to design a thing clled an “Avatar”….stupid game…I’ll give it a try, I’m useless at this stuff, its for kids.
EA Games, Dragon Age. I made a joke about this stupid “game”. I spent 20 mins getting my face right. BEFORE I started the game. The mage was quick. Ynys as you see here is nice, she is a noble woman and a Rogue. Her Dog Shiva obeys her and only her, goes everywhere, fights like a demon, she can pick any lock. You will see tho, Aelfryd,[ÆLFÞRYÐ = Anglo-Saxon name composed of the Old English elements ælf "elf" and þryð "strength," hence "elfin strength."] …my Elfin lady warrior. She is my star. Spent an hour and a half getting her right. She’s not so pretty, not a looker like but not homely either. She’s a bit skinny, red hair. A bit Irish….. She has character. We spent the first two hours getting ready for her wedding. She has a bit of an attitude see. Humans treat Elves like scum. She was nearly raped by the local lord. She kicks ass but the humans were too strong. She doesn’t like humans very much. She was rescued by Alistair and he took her off for training. While getting ready to become a Grey Warden she was wandering around checking things out, a bit lost, with her crap clothes and little dagger. She chatted to lots of people. After about 20 minutes she was at the forest gate. The guard turned her away, said it was too dangerous for a little elf, especially a female. She turned to leave when a human messenger arrived and he spoke to the Guard:
He said to the Guard ” I have to deliver Sir Green’s Iron Broad Sword. Do you know where his tent is?”
Aelfryd could interrupt, she had four choices:
- 1. No, I am new here. Can you help me?
- 2. Who is Sir Green? Please tell me about him
- 3. I don’t know anything about that
- 4. I know Sir Green, I am just going to his tent now, perhaps I can take it for you?
Aelfryd didn’t hesitate for a moment. What would you do?

I like to be inspired. Humanity is so wonderful. The title of this song is Forever Young. Kurt Vonnegut wrote a story called Breakfast of Champions. He loves America but he laughs at it’s Arrogance. The book expresses RVR because, he, the author, goes into the book and meets the characters. [Virtiual Reality's original medium was the book] He is God. The hero Kilgore Trout doesn’t believe him so with a few strokes of his pen The Author wisks the hero around the world. The hero gasps and falls to his knees. The Author says “Do you want something?” The Hero says “Make me young” The last page is a hand drawn picture of Kurt Vonnegut, a single tear rolls down his cheek. I think we have a Universal Truth here. Humanity’s deep rooted desire to leave a legacy, to have a raison d’etre. So much of the universe we inhabit appears chaotic. I tie it in with “The Day The Earth Stood Still” where Human Beings are to be wiped off the Earth because their Arrogance is destroying it. But they are saved because they are special. I am reminded of the Aliens in “Artificial Intelligence” [AI] The Aliens tell the robot child that Human Beings are Unique in the universe. They also say Nothing Ever Dies. Your Engram remains as part of the web of the universe for all time. But the aliens become The Blue Fairy to grant the robotic child, an avatar, Humanity’s greatest accomplishment and to give Humanity’s Greatest Gift: Unconditional Love. But warn him that once brought back the engram of his mother will disappear from the space-time continuum. The Love is that of A Mother for her Child, Like that of The Creator For His Creation. The Sacrifice Is Ultimate. Jesus did it. And At The End of Days , We Sleep
Wow. I think I can die now. I just peaked. Fancy a pint?

Another Blog its called “Here Be Dragons” and it was inspired by the new EA Game called Dragon Age Of Course Dragon Age on wordpress had gone so Dude Starship registered THEdragonage.wordpress.com (Don’t worry, I am not schizophrenic. Dude Starship is actually an Artificial Intelligence program I am working on but please don’t tell “him” that, lol)
So, any way, Its about dragons of course. But from the trailer it looks like Dragons are the bad guys. Hmmm. I suppose that in myth and legend Dragons often were the bad guys. Anyway, our Dude is a bit risqué . His opening tongue-in-cheek synopsis of the site is as follows :
“I have always been a fan of Yorkshire Terriers (Yorkies). They are energetic and playful. They taste so yummy with falafel beans.”
Perhaps you better watch the video…..
The site is EXTREMELY RUDE and IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN. Bad language abounds but you will find the “porn” very funny.
I requested that the site be reviewed by Wordpress. They did so and removed the “Offensive” items.
The producers motto is “For those who love porn but hate the sex” 
So, but as I said if you do not like explicit language DO NOT VISIT THE SITE!
I love graphics as you may have guessed. It is the artist in me (in us all). So I manipulated this :

I’ll do more but that took about 3 hours and it could be better.

- and among the many disturbing tidbits, there was mention of EA spending 66-75% of a game’s budget just on advertising. First off, no wonder so many EA titles are trash, secondly, I wonder how many copies Dragon Age is going to have to sell to even break even. Millions, apparently.
- Is that really necessary, such expensive advertising? Surely there must be cheaper ways…Take TV ads for example – what do they add? I have never bought a game because of a TV ad. It’s mostly reviews, magazine ads, promotional videos from the website and, if available, a playable demo. Those are the things that sell games, besides word-of-mouth.
- that don’t include Dragon Age. RPG’s have always been off in a corner kind of by themselves. They’re not really hardcore games and don’t appeal to most twitch gamers. They’re not casual games by any stretch and don’t appeal to most casual gamers.
- Well, yes Dragon Age can be considered a niche game, definitely more of a hardcore gamer’s game than EA Sports Franchise Sequel 20xx, but it made me wonder if the same marketing/financing strategy hasn’t been applied to Dragon Age also? They have been doing various advertising campaigns for months. This is the new *** after all. It’s sort of a moot point now, but I just found it annoying that so much has changed (for the worse, in my opinion) in gaming in the past 10-15 years.
- sad about gaming in general. I begin to feel like the people who made up the core of gamers 10 or 15 years ago are going to be left behind, with no one caring about them as the developers all chase the money of the “casuals.” Also…”The hardcore are the ones who spend 20 hours or more a week on games and who are fans of professional game players who compete for prizes and money.” WTH? I’d consider myself hardcore, but the idea of being a fan of “professional game players” is ludicrous to me (the whole idea of “professional game players” is ludicrous too, as far as I’m concerned.) That said, I doubt that sort of ad blitz will happen with Dragon Age. I know I haven’t seen a single ad on a non-gaming site/TV station (actually haven’t seen any “ads” on TV, but there have been features on G4 and the like.)
- …Well, I have fun.
…Oh and if you like games, sorry it is a bit rude but it will make you smile, especially if you are old.
