Luckily, I have 14 other characters on my account to help alleviate my ennui (that's such a douchebaggy word. makes me laff) and so, enter The Gargoyle King. In DCUO fortune favors the bold- sometimes you have to fight through grueling, shitty adventures (which usually involves Batman to a large degree) in order to get the Big Bucks. Problem is, you usually get burdened with at least a couple of crappy players, who will defenestrate at the first sign of real heat, leaving everyone else with their dicks in the dirt, unable to move forward.
This happens entirely too often in the game and can turn a 45 minute raid into two hour-plus marathon of repetitive, agonizingly dull gameplay.
Anyway, that all ended tonight, when Fortune finally started to show some interest in the old boy and things finally started going my way. Nothing too spectacular, but I'll take what I can get. So, I decide on one last mission before logging off and end up in yet another of what seem like an endless series of battles against Brainiac. Thankfully, I drop into an "instance" already in progress (the final boss fight as it turns out,) and wail on that motherfucker like nobody's business, putting the kibosh on him in record time (for me, anyway.)
Long story short, one of the other players tossed a nice bit of praise my way which actually made me happy for a few minutes. Sadly (ha ha), the late hour and fog of war prevent me from quoting said praise accurately. Suffice it to say I got a big thumb's up. This puts me very close to completing a short-term goal I set up (two goddamn weeks!) which should come to a close tomorrow.
I hope so, anyway. I hate this fuckin' game.
