Rome: totally nailed


Mr Ashbless is a big fan of Rome: total war, which if you haven't come across it is a real-time 3D strategy battle game. Having conquered the entire ancient world playing the Romans, he is now doing the whole thing again as the Egyptians.

I happened to walk in while he was explaining to a friend what his current battle was.

"So at the moment I'm trapped in a desert fort with 230 highly-trained men, beseiged by barbarians."

"Heh. You've just described one of Janine's sexual fantasies," said the friend.

I opened my mouth to protest, but nothing came out. I had to walk away. It was, after all, a fair cop.

But I will have my cruel revenge by showing them both this:

I love 'an online roleplaying game and birth control device'.

It's sweet that Mr Ashbless spends his days constructing elaborate sexual fantasies for you :)

Janine Ashbless said...

lol!
Yeee...eees. I wish.


"side-effects: may cause bloating"

And, of course, thanks for the vid link, Jo!

Wonderful video! And so true (apparently).

What a great post! From the sublime naiads to the ridiculous RTW. Still, defending a city against barbarians is lots of fun - the question is, in your fantasy version, do you want the barbarians to get in, or not?

Janine Ashbless said...

The question is, are they hot barbarians, Chris? Well, it's my fantasy so of course they are...

Though let's not be greedy. 230 highly-trained men should be enough for me, surely ;-)

Jo said...

I suppose if they get in, there's always the chance of watching some Roman/Barbarian action while you recover.

This is a smelly fantasy, I fear, Janine.

Link comes from Shanna! I have no gamer credetials at all...

The WOW vid was hilarious!
And I want to comment on that 230 barbarians thing but it would say wayyyyyy too much about me! :)

Mmm, one of my favorite stories that I wrote (Improving Morale) was pretty close to that idea. But, in my fantasy, barbarians get sweaty but take a bath beforehand.

I can attest to the addiction of online games, though mine was in the MUD days, not these fancy graphical things. I can get addicting and you end up dropping everything (college, blowjobs, leaving the apartment) for a while. Or at least, I did. But, it was the blowjobs that brought me back. Well, that and getting into a committed threesome.

I *loved* that video though.

Jeez I hear you're out of town for a week so I don't pop in and then when I do you've got posts up the yin yang. I find posting twice a week exhausting. WTF?
Is this an age thing.
And you know you could handle those barbarians Janine. I read your story. Just so long as you were their 'Queen' so you could say - Tomorrow, forty barbarians may torture and beat me. The rest of you go conquer a country in my name.

I'm with you there, t'Sade. Oh, we're so prissy, aren't we? ;-) Heh. And a threesome would bring me back from almost anything too, up to and possibly including death.

Work harder Madeline! Harder!
