So, how does selling out feel like? ;) :P

Initial thought: "Huh, what's he going on about?"

You see, I've got the board bookmarked, so I never visit the main page, but when it occurred to me what it might be, I had a look and saw the story. Funny stuff..

I still remember the angst of finding "Lurkerlounge" when I typed in "www.diablo2.com" a few years back.

Ahh so young, and so naïve :)

May I ask what in hell are you talking about? There's nothing in the front page...

Hey, I think I went to school with Ray "Chick" P. Garbonzo! His motto was, "I can always count on myself."

It's good to know you can always count on the Lurker Lounge for these things \o/

So what's next? Electronic Arts announces "The Sims: Lurk your Lounge"? ;)

*Chuckles* :P


Bye Bye Bolty - Lord_Olf - 04-01-2004

and the "Über-item" in that game will be the "Club of Flaming +3"... But only available from NPC "Lem" after he's been bribed with a TFoS ;-)

Take care, says a chuckling

EDIT: Stupid Browsers.

This post was crafted to spell out a message reading vertically down the left margins. I note that depending on which browser I am looking at the post in, it either does or does not work. In short, half of you were never going to get a chance to see the joke. Different versions display a different left to right distance posts.

In short, this joke backfired completely. Who's the April Fool now?

It happened when Bolty went to EA to playtest
that new Ultima X game. Like a Zerg Queen, an EA exec used all her wiles,
sensuality, and wit to infest both Bolty and TPJ (look for similar news at the
Amazon Basin soon). EA was down to its last ploy, and was desperate.
Justifiably so. For the past four years, Bolty has time and again shown his
obstinate resiliance in fending off attacks, so she lure him with juicy sweet
killer bait -- a new game to mess around with. EA induced no sellout, but an
emulation of the ultimate RTS Free For All dirty trick:
Backstab.
Surprisingly, I was left out, consigned to the margins by this nefariouis plot.

*Cough, Cough*

Bolty sells out. Entire gaming community reduced to the status of "tools" :o

Has anyone else noticed what day this is? I mean Bolty wouldn't sell out for a million. He'd do it for a thousand, and free Madden for life.


Bye Bye Bolty - AtomicKitKat - 04-01-2004

No duh, mack. I already did my April Fool's joke here:

Darn right they were desperate. Desperate enough to resort to using Blizzard cliches :D

Isn't it in the care of the Ducky One? And what would she think about that? So many questions to be pondered at the very beginning of the month...

Take care,

Lord_Olf

Left is marginally correct.

You know, people reminded me of this day for around 5 times already and I still forget what this day is!

Dumb, DUMB me, I never saw it coming...

This is April Fool's, Bolty will never sell his soul to Satan... right? :unsure:
