I’ve been in my fair share of arena death matches. Usually, I wait for the fat guy to die first, piss myself, hide underneath his corpse and then cheese it when the brutality ends. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? And in Ryse: Son of Rome, it looks like there’ll be no place to hide whatsoever. But at least I’ll have a buddy by my side!
Details are scant right now, but the idea looks simple. You and your buddies team up, and kill everything that with a pulse in an arena that was probably designed by a Roman version of the Jigsaw killer. But make it interesting at least, in case you bore the audience.
Looks like you’ve got your standard coliseum, a forest arena and an underground location to spill some blood. Word on the street is that the combat in Ryse is also being tweaked, and while QTE slow motion events will still be present, the action is looking a touch more fluid here.
I AM SPARTACUS!

I thought it looked quite boring, and the way the water was refracting so unrealistically irritated me….Damn I’m a perfectionist 🙂

So that’s the key to a nice long holiday? I should invoke his fury at work as well.
“Oh no Jim’s having a meltdown”
“Give him some time off… SEND HIM HOME!”

The problem with invocation, is it often goes horribly wrong. What happens if you actually invoke OVG right into your office, would you know how to handle that? 0-O

Welcome to this week’s episode of Conspiracy theory time on Lagz. This week we pose a question.. is Jim that dastardly fellow Foxhound R? We have Jim in the studio today.
“hello Jim”
“Hi Alan”
“So, tell us honestly… are you FoxhoundR?”
“Wow, you go straight to the issue. No, I’m not FoxhoundR although there have been times that I wished I was”
“Really?”
“No”
“But isn’t it possible that you might be the troll known as Foxhound?”
“Possible? Maybe… plausibly… I doubt it. You see, I have trolled Lazygamer in the past, but always as myself, Jimmy Tiberius Lenoir”.
“I see”
“Also, trolling takes work… and sadly these days, I just don’t have the time. Shucks I don’t even have the time to eat my noodles”
“Thank you Jim.. it’s always nice to have you on the show”
“Thanks Alan, and tell your wife she’s got a nice ass”
“What?”
