i hear these shouts as my friends play with their brutes. http://mybrute.com. is a site where you can create a "brute" of your own and use it to fight against other brutes.

brutes get their skills and weapons randomly as their level increases, and when they fight, you can't control them. basically, all you do is choose their opponent and watch them fight it out. it gets exciting somewhat, and also quite annoying, since brutes, as their name suggests, are mostly brawn. they can be quite stupid. they forget to block, or use their shields, or they throw away their best weapon so they could punch out their opponents. and all you can do is watch--and maybe tear your hair out--as they proceed to lose because of their stupidity.

and then you think, brutes are a lot like people. we make stupid decisions that lead to our own demises. what's more, we make the same stupid decisions over and over and over again sometimes. i imagine sometimes that somewhere out there, God may be looking at humanity and wondering how we can be so stupid. i guess that's free will for you.
