Y'know those random fight scenes in movies where some dude gets choked? Well, do you think they ever had to cut out the choking sequence because one of the actor's had an erotic asphyxiation fetish? You see where this is going...
"Ugh, does he have a...?"
"Yep."
"Gross.. CUT! Put in the stunt man!"
"...he's got an asphyxiation fetish, too."
"...does anybody in Hollywood have a normal sex life?"
"...shut it down. Just shut it down."
The giant floating turd that is Star Trek Online's new "Raidisode" Infected has driven me back to City of Heroes. For at least a vacation until they sort that shit out.
I mean, the entire thing is an exercise in frustration. I left WoW so I wouldn't be tethered to a group of strangers just for the sake of shinies. Since STO allowed me to solo or duo all of the content, I thought the name of the game was "casual." Boy, was I wrong... You need 5 players that are experienced with the game mechanics of a particular instance, and have the patience to sit through it, wipes and all. (And you will wipe.)
Those players also have to "jump like jackasses" from platform to platform in the final room, hitting switches like a bad Doom level, only to get completely owned by the last boss (Which I should add, there is no gear to farm/craft to prepare for the amount of damage she puts out).
So yeah, Mission Architect, here I come. I'm thinking of something comical... Starfall's rehab center. Has a nice ring to it.
For lulz!
