we don't like outlanders. got it?

So for those of you who aren't aware, I can, at times, become very dorky over Morrowind.


You see, I was rather obsessed with Morrowind for a while. Oh yes. Me. Who hardly ever plays open-ended RPGs. On XBox. I know. It doesn't make much sense. .........That game rawks.

Anyway, for those of you who don't know what it is, it's basically the poor man's MMORPG. Without the MM or the O. It's......... huge and unending and although decidedly repetitive in terms of battling, totally fun. (Think of the addictive fetch quests of Animal Crossing mixed with huge land masses, rank-climbing, and monsters.) For anyone who hasn't played it, I recommend it highly.


So. Today I was locked out of my house, so I was ordered by my mom to wait for her in the guest house and play video games, (that's where all our stuff is). Score! So I decide to play some Morrowind, (I've been hankering to lately---and I never really got to explore the full extent of Game of the Year Edition :/), so I'm like "HEY! I can do that dorky thing where I name a character after an anime character! I can do Trigun now! Let's do Wolfwood---no, let's do MIDVALLEY and make him a suave, con-artist, Lady Sign person!"

So, I skip the intro and end up in the prison ship that you start off in every single time you begin a game, and the half-naked dunmer guy in front of me asks, "What's your name?"

And I'm thinking "Midvalleymidvalleymidvalley!"

So the little default window pops up with the little default name that very proudly reads: "Player."

.........I nearly died.
