Why Our Blog Has a Strange and Lengthy Name

Once, we all played a game called Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance on our PS2. Once was enough.

Hexamus had let us play his copy because we were all bored and were out of new games to play. Preferring female characters over male, I chose the only female of the premade characters: a busty, strangely dressed elf name Adrianna. My younger cousin, Goatmeal, picked the dwarf Kromlech.

With this all set up, we started our game and were quickly given a quest to search out and destroy a cellar full of rats. That went bad fast. The game didn't tell us how to play and neither did Hex. So, we were left on our own trying to figure out how to play. It was painful to watch.

 Trying to ready myself for battle, I entered the menu and tried to see what I had equipped. Now, I honest to God have no idea what happened. I pressed a random button and her gear unequiped, leaving me with a naked elf chick as it left the menu! As I tried to figure out what happened to her,  Adrianna happily said "There's no enemies about!" to which Kromlech replied flatly "It's not the place for that".

 So, you got this naked elf lady and a rugged dwarf alone in a dark cellar... Their strange, half-naked situations left us all laughing from awkwardness, and well, lets just say we were never able to take the game even a little bit seriously after that.

And from there is where our name spawned.
