Oh man, sorry to derail this more, and I could have just messaged you with this, but... Record of Lodoss War: Advent of Cardice. I mean, damn. So, this is just a really short aside, but one time Roll busted out his impressive Dreamcast collection, and he had this radical Record of Lodoss War game. If you've never played it, it's like Diablo, and has nothing to do with Record of Lodoss war.
So, like. Big take aways here is that Roll had played through a good portion of the game, but never finished it. So, after messing around with it that one time, I played the shit out of it and got all the way to the end of the game and finished it. And I guess Roll didn't like, pay attention to it, or forgot it, but- my saved game was there for like 5 years.
Now, fast forward to back in October when Roll and I had to move out of our home. So, Roll is packing up all his stuff, and he gets to the Dreamcast. Then we see the Lodoss War game and we're all like "Oh shit!".
Now, something else before I go on. There's two things I remember from this game clear as day. One thing is a joke between Roll and I. Basically, for whatever god forsaken reason, whenever you walk in this game it makes a very loud noise. So, wearing some sandals? *CLOP-CLOP-CLOP-CLOP*. Like, WHY? But the best thing was when you were wearing a pair of iron boots, then shit got real. So you'd be walking around in these boots, that sounded like you were dropping canon balls on a steel girder. *CLUNK-CLUNK-CLUNK-CLUNK* So classic.
The other thing is a joke between my other friend and I, and this one is when the main character, who is this like, stereotypical grognard Barbarian (remember him from the Anime?) and whenever you enchant an item he says "A MIGHTY SPELL!". And you enchant items A LOT in this game, so he's constantly yelling out: "A MIGHTY SPELL! A MIGHTY SPELL! A MIGHTY SPELL" also classic.
Anyways, back to the story. So, Roll boots up the game and loads an old save of his, and we're kind of laughing at it and stuff. Then I'm like "Hey, see if you can load up my save." So, he did, and then it was his turn to be like "<INSERT UNREAL TOURNAMENT SOUND HERE>". Cause, like I said, he forgot all about my end-game character. So, we load that up and we're just laughing about all this ridiculous gear I got. And, we're both waiting for the loud ass walking noises, but- Apparently there's an Enchant in the game that makes your footsteps silent! That's pretty effing great, right?
Anyways, so the last bit is, there's these like, super powerful optional bosses you can fight, that you summon to fight. So, after Roll, who was in control, finished cutting a swath through an entire race of some sort of demon or imp. He found one of these summoning sites. So, he summons this like... gaggle of Golems down, and instantly gets pulverized. It happened so suddenly and unexpectedly that we just busted out laughing.
Ah... I said that was gonna be short. Oh well. Good times.
