<a href=http://www.actiontrip.com>ActionTrip</a> has posted a <a href=http://www.actiontrip.com/reviews/dungeonsiege2.phtml>review</a> of <a href=http://www.gaspowered.com/ds2>Dungeon Siege 2</a>, giving it <b>80</b> for being so addictive, immersive, and generally awesome. Like a blowjob, apparently. Of course, stupidity of the reviewer casts some doubts on the score, so we can only pray and hope that DS2 is the bestest game evar. Like World of Warcraft.

<br>
<blockquote>Ever since World of WarCraft happened to me, I cannot help by measure every single RPG (online or not) against what I consider the pinnacle of an addictive gaming experience. Granted, for more reasons than one, this comparison is unfair in relation to single-player RPGs, but the way I see it, the truly great gaming experience (one that is truly addictive), is that which not only makes you lose track of time, but when you finally peel your eyes away from the monitor, you're still feeling that slight numbness in your body as your mind tries to adjust to the real world. Without sounding too crass, this is pretty much how I felt after I've gotten my first really good and sufficiently lengthy blow job</blockquote>World of Warcraft and other games are mentioned so frequently, the review looks like a giant ad with keywords: "Dungeon Siege 2 is a high-profile <u>PC game</u> (Buy PC games at Dell!) being published by one of the biggest companies in the world... In a nutshell, Dungeon Siege 2 is far from a <u>perfect game</u> (Perfect games on EBay!!!)"
<br>
<br>
Here is another funny quote:
<br>
<blockquote>pets were hailed as a big addition to the game, but I never used them once</blockquote>Hey, Blizzard said they've added 2 more characters to the D2 expansion, but I never used them. What a rip!!!

He got the blowjob in trade for the positive DS2 review :P

And I'm sure the DS crew is pretty skilled at the blowjobs.

Behind you.
I think I now know why MicroSoft shipped out the review copies so early and let the reviews come out this early even though that leads to leaked warez copies. It gets people like the reviewer in a race to review the game with other sites, so they right the review before they get bored with the game a week or so later.

I don't think so. They can become bored after a hour with this game.

whoa. you mean 2 out of 3 games you like are actually NOT a steaming pile of rancid dog shit? I'm impressed.

didn't you drool all over Fable as well? or am I confusing you with someone else?

If he's comparing a blow job to DS2, then it can't have been a very good blow job.

The longer a blow job lasts, the worse it is. Of course, "sufficiently lengthy" is another way of saying "it came to the obvious conclusion."

On the other hand, "sufficiently lengthy" doesn't have to be anything to do with time.

Huh? Not neccessarily! Although that can be the case...

I suppose you get three grades:

crap - bloody hell, get on with it woman, I'm bored.
okay - that was nice, while it lasted.
great - please let me cum, pretty please.... christ it feels so good it actually hurts!! :D

The ability to do the last one is worth marrying for.. :lol:

blah blah blah

It is clear that the reviewer failed his introductory course in pimpology. Even junior pimpologists are aware that oral sex, as well as skills in oral sex, are a dime a dozen.

Had the reviewer said "like the time I got that hot third grade teacher I was dating to give me a blow while the kids were outside playing" then maybe we can see the connection between skills and reward. Or even "Like the time I found myself in a blowjob competition at a witches coven." But no.

Instead, another boring review with a lame analogy from someone who is painfully inexperienced in the subject matter. First blow? Blah blah blah. Where's the challenge? The drama?

I hate every action crpg, except Diablo, Gothic, Dungeon Lords.

You mean that you like Dungeon Lords BETTER than Dungeon Siege 2....
And you don't even HATE Dungeon Lords??
Did you get a verision of the game that actually was finished or something?

Hazelnut: Point taken, there is a true talent in keeping someone right on the edge, but...
