World of Offline Gaming

Short comedy where typical online gaming behavior invades real life: World of Offline Gaming. Deadpan Entertainment’s production notes are here ($70 plus beer to produce) and their reaction to some of the critical commentary on the WarcraftMovies.com is on their rant page: Haters .. why do they have to hate? (2nd 2/27/06 entry. Permalinks wru?) I dunno, some of the cited hate seems like legit criticism but I’m not the one that spent 70 bucks plus beer to make an indie short.

Courtesy of the Warcraft forums, two budding wordsmiths:

Triock outlines the finer points of the little-known Herpalism harvest skill, “I am so tired of /cry cause of no gold for mount or item this and that! I am always enough gold and here is the key: Herpalism! I am giving these ideas here FREE so I don’t have to explain it all the time because I explain it a hundred times and nobody understands! … ” Spoof Alert: this is Triock’s (level 4 orc) only post. (Thanks, emailer Elbows.) (Furled archive.)

Imfugly details why PvP rogues need to be nerfed, “O.k. am I patient of rogues. Each fight, which I have with results rogue being in me, stunlocked for 75% of the fight …” Spoof Alert: Imfugly, level 1 gnome, has a small post history built up; some in character, a few that are intelligible. (Furled archive.)

It’s like Cubism with the English Language; I recognize English words, but hell if I know what I’m looking at.
