Hey guys, just thought I'd drop in here and give it the ol' "Hello"
If you're a very observant person then you'd have noticed that I am new here, so I'd appreciate a warm welcome
Since I told you a little bit about myself in my Admin Application, I'll go ahead and use the thread to tell you a little bit about my day today.
It all started when I woke up (Well the day technically started at 00:00am, however I was asleep, therefore it doesn't count) I got out of bed and was instantly attacked by what appeared to be some kind of hideous mammal with some serious odor problems, as my eyes adjusted to the light it was soon apparant that it was my partner, so already my day was off to a good start.
I then switch on my PC (Tangent: It's a Windows 7, Intel Core i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz (8CPUs), 16GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970) I then decide to play a game I haven't played in a while, so BAM, I load up Skyrim...
So there I was, wandering through the wilderness, trying to uncover a couple new locations; when I hear that unmistakable shriek come from above. Not being prepared for such an event, I proceed to run away.
After a while, Mr. Blood Dragon gave up chase and I saw a pair of giants...doing whatever it is that giants do. Standing around, sniffing their fingers. Whatever.
I thought "Sweet. I'll let them beat up on the dragon, and I'll swoop in for the finishing blow, absorb the soul, grab the loot, and run away."
See...what had happened... I was sitting a healthy distance away, still "hidden" for all intents and purposes. Taking a few potshots with my trusty bow to keep tabs on the dragons health. I see that it gets down to about 15%. I think, "Alright. Now's my chance. Let's do this."
Anyways. I sprint up to the fight the big scary dragon. I get close, and I use my whirlwind sprint shout to get there quicker. This works magnificently.
There I am, on the dragons flank, getting ready to finish it off.
Perhaps in a moment of Skyrim creature solidarity... I can only imagine that the creatures paused time like Zack Morris in Saved by the Bell would do...and talked to each other.
"Hey, G1, G2. Hold up."
"What's up, BD?"
"You see this little meatbag? I mean, seriously. What's he gonna to? Peck us to death like a duck?"
"You're right. What the crap. We were having our honorable duel, and he comes in to stab you in the bum and take your scales? Screw that."
"What do you say we set aside our differences for the moment and take care of this riff-raff?"
"Done."
Rather than the giants keeping their focus on the dragon, I think I stepped in their favorite mammoth turd and ticked them off. Cause they both came after me. And the dragon. And, to add insult to injury, a cave bear that happened to be nearby.
Long story short - I got double hammer smashed, fire breathed, and butt-humped by a bear.
I did not survive. Not by a long shot.
And, of course, in true "I HATE YOU, SKYRIM" fashion, I hadn't saved in a good 40 minutes or so.
It was then that I remember why I hadn't played Skyrim in a while.
So that was my day today, Oh and I ate, went to the toilet and did human things inbetween all of this.
