Life as a Martial Artist.

As a few of you may remember, I started playing Anarchy Online when they opened up the game to free players, perhaps to get them addicted and sucked into the storyline enough to want to pay to play.

They’ve nearly worked their magic on me, but my budget says “Hell no”.

When you play the game, you start reading the descriptions. Sometimes, the descriptions just play with your noodle. For example, an attack I picked up for my Martial Artist today is named “Blessed With Thunder”. Here’s the flavor text added to it:

Just keep running, falling, till you reach the border. There you reach out, find out: Blessed with all the Thunder of the World.

Feels a bit poetic, and perhaps enigmatic… but it also feels pretty satisfying when you’ve smashed the face of your enemy with this attack.
