You Don’t Have to Put on that Red Light

(You don’t care if it’s wrong or if it is right.)

Well.

What can I say.

If AFK Gamer had been around almost 10 years ago, I’d have said the same thing … I’m speechless. I am without speech.

Thank you, California jury, for once again putting me in the position of national apologist.

Not my style to lose focus here on AFK Gamer, but I am an American and a human (despite the reports to the contrary) and this will be all I have to say about that:

diafirl.

That reminds me of a story. There’s a friend of mine, my first boss out of college. (God no, he’s not a perverted fuck.) Anyways, he’s got to be in his 50s now, but at the time, in his 40s. Dedicated smoker. Marlboros. Red box. (Ya, he’s hardcore.)

The one time I asked him, “Do you ever think about quitting?” As he explained it to me, “Takes a real man to face cancer.” heh, hope it never comes to that, man.

(That’s not a stab at Michael, that’s just a metaphor.)

Hey Everyone! Tomorrow, it’s back on duty. I have a few things to report about Guild Wars, PLUS there’s much more!

Planned, but this is the beauty of not getting paid … may not actually materialize: Worst Case Scenarios in Gaming, You Wanna Hear a Story about Fan Faires? (subtitled: A Rival Player is Banned from the Hilton Franchise) and, Krones and I Agree to Disagree on the FoHror “Situation”.

This is a Vanguard: SoH Fan Site (really)

Look what I found, cleverly buried in one of the NPC speeches in Guild Wars!

Product Placement

Obviously, that’s bought-and-paid-for product placement for the (maybe someday) Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. See how sneaky they were in hiding the S O H??

Man, this is how the hype starts: subliminal advertising — next thing we know, we’re preordering and using character calculators to map out our skills. DAMN THOSE MARKETING DEPARTMENTS!

Or, it could just be a coincidence.
