Mun saw the new Lords of Shadow 2 trailer

[vampirekiller]

Mundane,

I do not understand. Why are you so happy that I am absent?

And yes, I do believe that is Alucard making an appearance towards the end of the reel. Why does it amuse you so?

I will never understand you...

[ Deathwing has returned from the realm of dreaded CAPS LOCK E-MAIL CORRESPONDENCE and is now somewhat coherent. Rejoice!

Or despair in that you're now facing down a giant dragon. Up to you. ]

So much about these mortals lies beyond our understanding, I'm afraid.

[vampirekiller]

[... Not that big up close, tbh. Bet you hear that all the time.]

Indeed. I can do without the accompanying frustration.

[deathwarder]

[ You're just looking at the wrong part, baby. ]

Something we must endure, sadly. I've yet to find a way around their shenanigans, though they can sometimes lead to... entertainment.

[vampirekiller]

Entertainment? How so?

[You're right. Gonna need a magnifying glass now. Boffo!]

[deathwarder]

[ Technique, sir. Not size. ]

Oh, a bit of mental trauma here, a bit of mass murder there. You know, the usual.

Isn't that what you do for fun?

[vampirekiller]

[That's what they all say before the girl offers a sympathetic, wincing smile and says it's okay, it happens to everyone.]

I'm afraid not.

[summonedstrength]

"Amusement" isn't quite the word I'd use for the general consensus when "we" viewed the same thing.

Still, I am glad he was entertained.

[vampirekiller]

What was your reaction?

[Arousal, I bet.]

It's no surprise -- he is entertained by the most asinine things these days.

[summonedstrength]

My personal reaction was blatant confusion. However, there are a few others that were...well, "less than enthused" would be one way of saying it.

[No thanks, I haven't been raiding your medicine cabinet, Jimmy Johnson.]

...

I feel like I should take offense to that statement.

[vampirekiller]

[Oh, so you can't get it up without pharmaceutical intervention. That's not surprising at all.]

I mean no offense, Hector. He has always been easily amused as he prefers to approach things with a sense of humor. He found this, ah, reel upsetting at first but his opinion changed after a second viewing.

[summonedstrength]

[Hi, pot. It's me, the kettle. Yeah, just wanted you to know you're black.]

It isn't his entertainment with the video that I should find concerning. I seem to recall us being a fairly consistent source of amusement for both of our players.

[ARE YOU CALLING OUR BROMANCE ASININE?]

[vampirekiller]

That too. I'm...afraid I do not understand where that amusement originates, considering the debauchery and nonsense they put us through, but there is not much you and I can do to remedy the situation. Unfortunately.

[Our bromance is not asinine. But your repeated attempts to save face via denial, on the other hand...]

[summonedstrength]

You said it better than I could hope to. I suppose we should, at the very least, be grateful to be a source of enjoyment for them.

[What denial? I didn't deny anything!]
