A brief welcome to my fellow Lockergnome geeks

 

 

I have just finished merging my blog with the one located on lockergnome.net. So now (possibly), my blog will receive more hits. This means I need to buck up and start putting more thought into my posts. My brain went into a relative stupor after realising nobody really cared what I had to rant about resulting in my blog posts becoming very watered down and minimalist. Eventually I started neglecting the blog altogether. I will also try to cover some more interesting topics (like that’s really gonna happen though :\) and attempt not too veer off subject too often.

For the Lockergnome (and geeks) and Pirillo community at large who are new to my blog, I’ll try to explain it (try being the operative word here :\). People who know me personally will know I am a highly opinionated and original person. My opinions tend to differ from the norm on many occasions and I am usually rather passionate with expressing them. I created this blog as an outlet. Somewhere I could rant till the cows come home without upsetting anybody or any major issues occurring. So even though the blog may contain many topics, some vague, some personal, it will also nearly always contain my own personal views/opinions on the subject. If you agree, that’s great! If you don’t… well, that’s fair enough. Everyone has the own opinions, just please don’t get upset over mind.

With that out the way, I guess there’s just one thing left to say.

Welcome!

Mass Effect is NOT an RPG!

 

Ok, so maybe it’s technical genre specific name is Action RPG. Maybe it IS an Action RPG. Still doesn’t FEEL like an RPG to me though. Action RPG games to me are ones like Oblivion, Fallout 3, Might and Magic, Dragon Age (console version only) and a few others. Mass Effect, to me, seems too much of a shooter to feel like an RPG in any way, shape or form. Now everyone’s entitled to their own opinions, it’s just a shame that everyone doesn’t see it that way.

I voice my opinion on YouTube and some twatfaced fanboy goes on a pussyrant. Insulting me, my taste in games, my opinion, and practically everything else he can think of. You know the funniest thing? He totally flies off the handle when I express MY opinion, yet he doesn’t find it a problem to express his opinion that all FF series fans are 40 yr old versions (in which case I prove him wrong cause I'm 23 and haven’t been a virgin for a few years now). I just hate guys like that. They basically have no life whatsoever and get joy out of trolling other people on YouTube. Anyway, I could go on, but it would only end up as pointless drivel anyway so I’ll leave it at that for now.

Phew…rant over.
