Y'know, right now it seems as if the mausoleum is getting more patronage than the smithy.  Too bad you can't tax the mausoleum, eh? 

So other than Url Shekk and Rrongol, any interesting enemies randomly popping in?  Medusa?  Dragons?  A bear in an ill-fitting sweater?

Gender and racial equalities are starting to take it's toll on my general disposition.

I'm in college and, as college should be, I have a teacher who makes us actually work at collegiate level.  Term papers, using our brains, projects, actual things that our high school teachers warned us college would be like.  Not like some of the classes that I've taken which is pretty much "show up, do the questions in the back of the chapter, go home."  This is a refreshing break from most of my collegiate experience insofar, having a teacher who actually encourages learning through hard work.  It's of course a technological class, security based (CISSP for those out there who know of it), and is of course filled with many men and a few sprinklings of women who are actually interested in the field.

Then we have that one Hispanic female who wants to breeze on through without doing any work at all.  Since our teacher is so unfair and coddling with his "boy's club," she must make certain that administration knows about how he's mistreating the females!

So now my teacher's getting flak about his class being too hard.  A class where the material and knowledge level is difficult to begin with, is now being deemed "too hard" because some whiny, lazy woman complained that she had to do a term paper.  We take two or three grades in that class in total:  Term Paper,  Team Term Paper (which is yours combined with two others in a well-written document), and end of the chapter tests that take 3 minutes to do and have their answers in an appendix in the back.  The woman in question can actually be dropped from this class because she's failed to show up to class more than 4 times, and any attempts to actually help her with the material are shot down, with her basically wanting the work done for her.  Since she's a woman though, and Hispanic, her opinion obviously means more than the other Hispanic and White males in there, therefore the work is far too hard!

There's equality (which is fine and dandy, and I try to treat everyone equally), and then there's looking for advantages over others because your skin is a shade darker, or because you've got boobs.

Well, unless Rrongol decides that we no longer need to have an outpost here in the middle of nowhere, I'll totally take your blacksmith again.

Also, if I remember correctly, dwarves start showing up when you have a level 3 smithy, and elves show up whenever they damn well feel like it an elven bungalow shows up.  The elven inn or whatever that just pops up when you're not paying attention.  It was either that or a gambling hall.  Man, now I have to redownload this again.

It's going to be kind of hilarious if Robin Hood keeps dying every time you resurrect or reincarnate him.  He's a ranger and he's already died more than the gnome has (or just as much, I should keep better count). 

Also, bwahahah, already I am profiteering!  Later on I might see if I can wrangle you into adding my name to a couple of extra buildings, as if the chain has expanded or something.  That is, if we don't get overrun by goblins or a random dragon first.

Also, I'm afraid I couldn't fit the whole name in for the blacksmith, so it's currently just "Karkov's Trinkets".  The name field can only accept a maximum of 20 characters.

Meh, no big loss.  I didn't remember the game ever giving you that big of a space for names, so I expected it probably wasn't going to fit.  Just couldn't remember the maximum character count.

Oh man, the nostalgia that's brought on by the main theme of this game. Aaaahhh, refreshing.  Anywho, instead of taking a hero, I'd be delighted to have the blacksmith renamed "Karkov's Metal Trinkets," if you can still rename buildings anyway.

Is the swing-set bug in GTA5 still?

Not so much a swing-set, but there's an automatic sliding door that if you ram your car into just right, when it retracts you'll go flying.
