Long, long ago, when Elder Scrolls Online first appeared (2014), I fell in love with a character named Darien Gautier. (Darien is voiced by Jon Curry, of Zevran Arainai fame (he’s also the American-accented Inquisitor in Dragon Age: Inquisition, and you’ve probably heard his voice in a bunch of other…

                           May the Dread Wolf take you… Inquisitor: And he did. Solas: No I didn’t. I’d never have sex with you under false pretenses. Inquisitor: Yeah, you didn’t TAKE me—like you PROMISED, by the way—instead you TOOK ME…

So y’all already know I’m re-playing (for the umpteenth time) Dragon Age: Inquisition. Whenever you begin a game, there are a few training quests you have to do, to familiarize the player with how everything works. One of these quests involves the quartermaster, Threnn.

Me:  Why aren’t you eating your canned food? Cat:  It’s in my orange dish. Me:  … And? Cat:  The canned food goes on my white plate. Treats go in my orange dish. This canned food is in my orange dish. It is not a treat. Me:  But you love your…

I have noticed lately a trend in which the word “damsel” is used as short-hand to mean “damsel in distress.” As in: “I need you to scream for me.” “Like a damsel?” Or: “I imagined a story where I didn’t have to be the damsel.” This chaps my hide. “Damsel”…

I only recently was able to watch STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS. And I have a question about the Star Wars universe, in general. Why is it always planets? Original Star Wars (the 1977 movie) had the Death Star and destroyed Alderaan and I get that. Special effects of that…
