You've never called me that.

 

I guess you've forgotten ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's certainly... a thing.

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

Hello Punicpunch!

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

Hello Punicpunch!

Hi Stormgiggle.

 

I'm playing DLC for Shadow of Mordor where Celebrimbor has the Ring.

I'm sure you'd object to the lore-friendliness of it.

Yeah. Even hearing that makes me foam at the mouth and shake with rage. Or something like that.

 

Me, I'm watching somebody play the Dark Tower board game.

I mean, it doesn't even let you turn invisible.

What the heck?

 

Never heard of it.

Wait, seriously? That's a crime. It has to be a crime. You should call the police.

 

Here's a short, 30 second commercial for the game:

It angers me, the ring just gives you less powers than the regular game.

 

Looks cool. Is it cool?

That really sucks. You should write your congressman to complain. In any case, what's the toughest captain you ever faced?

 

It's awesome! But you'll never get play it. A full working version is outrageously hard to come by. I hear there is a phone app, but that can't come close to the full experience. 

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

They're all the same to me.

I just brand Uruks and make them fight for me.

I can see that.

Oh well, what are you gonna do.

Oh. That's all?

 

You could get the app. I'm not sure how expensive it is though.

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

 

 

Oh. That's all?

I don't need to do much else.

 

You could get the app. I'm not sure how expensive it is though.

Meh, I don't care.

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

I don't need to do much else.

 

Meh, I don't care.

 

Surely you have some stories to tell from your experience with the game?

 

I understand. Everyone has different interests.

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

The game's too linear to tell interesting stories.

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

The game's too linear to tell interesting stories.

I fear you misunderstand. Let me give you an example. 

 

One time I was hunting some captain, because that's the kind of stuff I enjoy most, just hunting captains down and killing them. So, I found one I was looking for, hanging out under a bridge. So I attacked! I tried leaping on top of him from the bridge, but he was immune to stealth. So I was forced to fight it out, weaving back and forth between his orc flunkies, using my hit and run tactics. But before I could get any meaningful damage in, another captain showed up! "You left me for dead, but now I'm going to get my revenge!" Before I knew it, I was fighting two of them, and more and more orcs were showing up as the fight dragged on. Even so, I was actually doing pretty well, I had one of the captains in green health, and was managing to keep the regular orcs down to a minimum. And then another captain showed up. "I've been tracking you for a while ranger! Looks like you're half dead already, this will be easy!" Now it was impossible. I couldn't fight three of them at once, especially not with every orc in mordor suddenly coming out of the woodwork. I tried repeatedly stealth killing them from the bridge, and then quickly going back up, but it was hopeless. For every one I killed, two more orcs showed up. By the time I finally retreated, there must have been 50 regular orcs under that bridge along with three full health captains.

At that point I'd have just ran away.

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

At that point I'd have just ran away.

When the second or third captain showed up?

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

When the second or third captain showed up?

Probably the third.

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

Probably the third.

Maybe, but I didn't want to give up! I had that one captain dead to rights! 

 

But instead I just hunted all of them down separately later.

So many different murder strategies in this game.

We're talking about Shadow of Mordor.

[Zyrael 1,471]

We're talking about Shadow of Mordor.

 

The shadow of mordor? I love the shadow of mordor! all hail the shadow of mordor! 

[Sir Punicpunch 1,688]

The shadow of mordor? I love the shadow of mordor! all hail the shadow of mordor! 

Have you played it?

[Zyrael 1,471]

Have you played it?

 

No.
