I understand his position

The following is an excerpt from this week’s Gamespy Grudge, and I thought I would share because I totally understand how Fargo feels on this one:

shaithis: Fargo, you still with me?

Fargo: Sorry dude, can’t talk, I’ve got the whole of the Spanish Armada up my WAZOO. [Fargo points to his Wazoo.]

shaithis: That’s a disgusting place to put an Armada.

I know where he’s coming from because I, too, play Civilization III. For instance, I’ve got a delicate peace agreement with the Americans; they’re the most militarily powerful force on the planet and live on the same continent with me. Every 20 turns they try to crawl up my Wazoo, and every 20 turns I have to give them a couple/few technologies and ask nicely for another 20-turn peace agreement. Of course, when the Iriquois attacked them, I was suddenly at war with the Iriquois, so I wiped the Iriquois out of existence (tanks beat bows and arrows for some reason) and razed their cities so that I could get back to focusing on building the greatest cultural achievements known to man. Wait, I’m babbling.

(At least I’m not babbling about Everquest, like some people.)

  5. I’m not going to take the time to point out the problems with EverQuest, but I will say that hearing people talk about it has become tedious of late. This may be related to the fact that at this point 95% of what I hear Iain say at work is EQ-related. Or maybe it’s just because it’s been going on for so long.

  7. Well, certainly less than half of the conversations Teel and I have consist of EQ, as he doesn’t play and I know he is more interested in other MMORPG’s than he is EQ (City of Heroes, Mudpie, Clown Monkeys from Mars, etc.). I talk to his coworker in tech support David about it alot, because he just started recently and we discuss our adventures and strategies and such.

    As far as it going on for so long… it’s EVERquest =) Just alter your chat filters if it becomes too much of a problem for you.

    On a side note, I saw an Irish drinking songs CD at Fry’s that I almost bought just for the song “Three Women Singing About the Whiskey They Drank Today Before Breakfast.” But I already have two bachelor party gifts for Zoe, so I passed.
