Video Game Crushes

Some people have celebrity crushes, others have crushes on actors or politicians. I have crushes on video game characters. For your amusement, these are my top video game crushes and why.

Carth Onasi KOTOR

Handsome, battle worn and a little pensive. I just like his facial hair and his voice. Even if he is kind of a whiny boy.

Alistair Dragon Age Origins

I'm not going to lie, Alistair is probably my biggest video game character crush. He is a knight in shining armor, with a sense of humor. Ok he is a little stupid at times and can be a pain in the butt 'Oh QQ I'm a royal bastard and I don't want to be' but he is so much fun. Side note though, they RUINED him in Dragon Age 2. They did such a half ass job, I believe they used the same voice actor but I didn't even recognize the character, and he didn't even act like he did in the first one. Super fail (one of the many reasons Dragon Age 2 kind of sucked)

Leon Kennedy

I like his bomber jacket and his emo swoop. Do I need any other reasons? Oh also he is pretty ripped, and he doesn't whine like some other attractive male characters.

Ellis Left 4 Dead 2

This is the one I get the most crap for. Yes, I know he is dumb as a stump, but something about his southern charm is what gets me. Also his crush on Zoey is hilarious.

The Coolest Mouse I've Ever Seen

While I'm playing games that I will soon review I'll leave you some goodies to look at. This is the R.A.T. gaming mouse. It is pretty much the bees knees. It is the most versatile, customizable mouse I have ever seen. Everyone keeps going on about Razer mice but this is really where its at I think. I have yet to purchase either because I am rather fond of killing everyone with my shitty logitech mouse that fits my hands really well. I can however vouch for the cyborg keyboard I own. I've had it for three years of HEAVY use and the only wear that is visible is the m and n keys are a little worn out. WASD is chrome plated to prevent wear. So here is the coolest mouse ever.

These are the games I am currently playing and will review soon.

-KOTOR (finishing up the game and going to do a plot review instead of mechanics due to the age of the game)

-Mass Effect (two will come as soon as i'm done with one)

-Alien Swarm

In the future I hope to get Dragon Age Awakening and tell you what I think of that. I am in the process of moving so my posts might a little more light weight for the next week or so.

Likes and Dislikes of KOTOR and Bioware games

This game is now considered a classic in most gaming communities. I currently purchased it again (I have played it previously) I have played Dragon Age: Orgins to the point of no return, I know every trick and have played through all possible endings. I know how Bioware games work. Don't get me wrong I love Bioware, their rpgs are the kind that interest me the most.

Likes: You have so much freedom in Bioware games, but not too much that you are entirely lost without plot. Other rpgs I have played say that they are in a similar light, but you do not get to choose who your character is, base stats, classes or anything of the sort (The Witcher...cough cough) KOTOR is one of the early Bioware games, so if you play it you can see where the newer games go their roots.

Dislikes: The Bioware games are very formulaic. Not a completely bad thing, but you know that there will be romance options, your responses are limited to 'good, bad, and 'I don't know whats going on' in situations where you wish there were more. Often times joking if you want to keep a good relationship with a character isn't possible, when in a more realistic situation it would not always damage the relationship. You always have to do favors for people you don't really give a flying monkey fuck about, but you run errands for them anyways.

Enjoyments of this playthrough of KOTOR: I am being as neutral as possible. I am already leaning towards the light, but it is amusing to be as bad as possible without going to the dark side.
