Forgive the Lateness of My Reply...

I've returned from the void, and that's all I'll say about that...

I was intending for my comeback post to be extravagant, but the fact of the matter is, like most of my fellow laser-bladers (pyew pyew), I've been stuck (stuck I say!) in holiday cheer (humbug) and newly-purchased games. Mass Effect is on the back-burner because regardless of what reviews may have said (consensus is mediocre), the recently-released Conan video game is totally awesome.

I'm playing and chopping people's arms off and shit; the controls are really tight, so the game is a pleasure to play, but it's Conan's voice-actor and one-liners that really make it memorable. He insults the manliness and virility of men he's just eviscerated. Wonderful stuff, really. This doesn't make the game awesome though, just enjoyable and worth the 30 bucks I spent.

In Conan, one is tasked with rescuing "maidens." Maidens are topless women with large breasts wearing g-strings. Typical, really. When you rescue them, they stand up by pointing their ass right at the camera; pixelated porn, right? This happens and I roll my eyes. Misogyny in video games and all that. But then, one of the women spoke to me.

She said: "Ah, Conan, I've heard of you, crush me with your love."

I love this game, and subsequently, this post acts as an addendum to my previous post on <3'ing video game dialogue.
