So there I was, living in a real world MMO. My fantasy dream come true. This MMO was a good one, it was more realistic than most MMO's I've played before, it traded bright, unrealistic hues for a more dull and gritty backdrop . I for one enjoyed the break from the norm while me and my close friends were busy doing our mount quest, which involved several steps of collecting scrap metal, taking it to the smith and having him smelt it into use-able iron bars to take to the bike shop to weld it to a set of tires and call it a bike.

The next step called for collecting a bag of walnuts. I'll admit to a mild curiosity of what a bag of walnuts has to do with building a motorcycle but who am I to question the devs, or even read the quest text for that matter? Without further thought we headed off toward an abandoned home on the hillside as directed to find our bag of nuts. Our lives would change forever when we opened the door, as we found ourselves staring at something unspeakable....

...there it was, a bag of walnuts, standing forcefully over a pair of cards....Aces of Hearts and Spades, as I recall. It took a few moments to register what was happening, but I slowly realized this monster was sexually assaulting two of the best cards ever held in a game of Spades. Apparently, we were not armed enough to deal with the gravity of the situation, so we looked around and noticed other cards and pots cowering in corners and other flimsy hiding spots, and we realized we had stumbled into some sort of deranged sex orgy trade ....thing. I dunno.

Anyway, to wrap this story up, I must admit we valued the lives of the cards over the lives of the pots, as we used the pots bodies to pulverize the bag of walnuts to death. Then we carried the carcass of the monster outside and left the cards to deal with the aftermath, and then I woke up.

You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

It's also hard to choose between them. I like the second one also much but first one is nice, to.
