"How are you carrying all that stuff? That's ridiculous."
"Is that you on fire?"
"You've bought a house? I thought this was medieval warfare, not the Sims."
"Awesome, a dragon! Wait...don't...don't hit it! LEAVE THE DRAGON ALONE!!! What's it done to you? Have you any idea how endangered those things are?"
"She is so not appropriately dressed for that sort of weather"
"Haven't you already done this bit? Twice? Oh. It was you on fire"
"Surely once you've wandered around one dungeon looking for an amulet, you've wandered round them all?"
"There's an awful lot of walking in this, isn't there?"
"Is something going to happen soon?"
"You're going shopping now? This is like real life. Only with more walking."
"Why does everyone have so many consonants in their names? It's like they've been picked out of a Scrabble bag."
"Can I unplug *this* one to plug my laptop in? What do you mean I'm in the way of the screen? Oh look, you're on fire again."
UPDATE:
Since the above was originally published, I have begun playing Zelda: Skyward Sword on the Wii. It has been suggested that this is, in fact, a children's version of Skyrim. Yeah, well, do your shopkeepers make amusing noises instead of talking at your for hours about Nordic history? Do you get to fly a colourful bird in between map locations instead of trudging endlessly through snow? Does your character have one sword, one shield, and an endearing propensity to punch the air and go 'brrrrrllllliiiiiiing' every time they find a coin?
No?
Then I'll take the 3-and-over version please. And don't come running to me when you wish you could do a spin attack.

I know you said what NOT to say, but I am very tempted to try some of those!
ReplyDeleteI shall not be held responsible....;)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, I can only assume you got a tin hat for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHe'll crack one day, be careful!
ReplyDeletetee hee!
ReplyDeleteOh ha haa haaaa! Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteI have long learned to keep out of the way, when all that Important Gaming is going on.
My DH recently loaded World of Warcraft onto our new pc. He's had it for ages, but never played it, as the old pc was dying and wouldn't handle the graphics.
The Boy is joining in with him too... I'll stick to Minecraft, thanks. You don't have to fight people there - you can just explore, dig holes and make pretty houses... ahhh..
Great post and it made me laugh!
Thing is, I'm a gamer too.But I don't really get the whole traipsing around the countryside doing shopping and upgrading swords type of games. I like to do running jumping climbing trees games where I can press all the buttons and once and hit things. I got Arkham City for Christmas. And one day I might get round to playing it...
