So, there you
have it. I've already had a lustful proposal, an affirmation of
belly-laughs, and been the catalyst for one Aussie's failure to
complete a step on the road to higher learning!
Further, I
got an email from a guy named Jay, creator of
Master and
Servant. I would be remiss if I didn't mention him in the
news, as he's decided to drop a mention of me over at his comic.
I am
considered a nemesis! That's pretty cool, actually. I like the
sound of that. What would really be fun is having that
printed on a t-shirt:
Nemesis!
Anyway, about
the comic.
The first
frame is a screen capture I took while gaming with a couple
friends in World of Warcraft (Ner'zhul server, Clan mAc -- if
that sort of knowledge interests you).
The second
frame's a screen capture from my newly-purchased,
fresh-off-the-shelf-at-BestBuy,
Battlefield 2142. So far, I like it. It's come with its
problems: frequent server drops, uncommon game freezes, and
whatever other problems that happen with a just-released,
unpatched game. It's fun so far, especially the ability to mount
up in bipedal walkers.
"They act as
if these walkers are new. I just wanna say, 'Kid, I was piloting
Mechs long before you knew what a bipedal tank looked like!"
If anything,
the lingusitic practices portrayed in those first two frames are
pretty much what any intelligent gamer has to wade through
before finding people actually worth playing with. That's
what gave me the idea for the comic.
I miss the
pencil-and-paper role-playing game days.
Shadowrun.
Now that was a game.
irst
off, I'll have to offer up a big, fat thank you to
