I feel much, much better about my pitch presentation now.

Matt Mihaly is apparently paying 40 cents a day to laugh at me.

As seen on Kotaku: Look Ma, that endless reputation grinding counted for something after all!

Although this is clearly just a come-on on the level of technical colleges that almost have real accreditation from something very close to a state agency, the Kotaku article’s comments include a link to Terra Novan Aaron Delwiche’s Trinity University coursework in eavesdropping on Night Elf cybering.

True fact: Before the whole web and MMO thing I used to edit video. Specifically for an advertising agency. Specifically for ads for those aforementioned technical colleges. My shining moment was when, for a half hour infomercial that was scheduled to show on some Fox affiliate in Iowa or something at 4AM, the head of the agency finally just couldn’t full up the time any more and threw the script at me and told me to write some. So I did!

Do you feel as though you are just a cog… a cog in a vast machine being ground down by the forces of life? Generic Technical College offers you hope. The hope of finally making something of yourself. And in so doing, you can help others, discover true meaning to your life, and be part of a wider world.

It’s some of the best writing I’ve ever done. And the actor said the lines with no visible irony whatsoever.

literary term 0ne word that means something different – “antithetical”
burning crusade torrent - nope, sorry, not here.
do log ins put people off – yeah, seems that way.
gm virginia uo mythic – you want over here.
absurd joke – Priest, rabbi, and imam walk into a bar. Rabbi asks if the wine there is kosher. Imam says “Probably not, and I can’t drink it anyway. What do you think, Father?” Priest says “Fish.”
blog +”internet is for porn” +point – I have no idea what you were trying to find, but I hope you found it here.
brogame sucks – Clearly someone dislikes one of Google Ads’ advertisers.
burning crusade downloader – I TOLD YOU NO.
buy broken toys – $75,000 might get my attention.
change port to play wow at work – I’d tell you about Remote Desktop, but really, can’t you just wait until you get home?
daoc gold transfer – Look, just because I don’t work there any more doesn’t mean I’m still not going to boot your cheating arse to next Thursday.
eating in second life – probably not what you think.
elgoog credit number to cash hand in – it’s like poetry in motion.

eq flowers of happiness – over here.
eve isk crack - One of these things is not like the other.
experiment on curly hair to straight – the hell, you wound up here?
get cock in second life – Ask Joel Stein.
hardcore kathy lee – Nothing surprises me on the Interweb any more. You wacky series of tubes!
hoi 2 attrition – Well first off, it’s different in the Doomsday xpack, where you have to research Hospital techs to keep your attrition rate at roughly the same rate as HOI2 vanilla, which means the AI, which won’t usually research them, will have a higher rate of attrition. You can’t usually make much of an advantage from this, though, because the AI usually does a pretty good job of manpower management. Anyway, attrition is something you want to keep a keen eye of managing once your total manpower drops below 300 or so, because at that point you’re going to be hitting the bottom just from regular combat losses, especially as Germany on the Eastern Front; in fact Germany usually loses the war thanks to crippling attrition sapping its manpower to the point where formations start to shatter. Much like history, actually. Anyway, hope that helped you, anonymous Google surfer.
how to dupe shadowbane – cp -r /usr/sbin/shadowbane /usr/sbin/shadowbane2
how to win friends influence – first off, work on completing sentences.
lum broken – why do you hate me so?
nuclear hoi doomsday – The AI generally won’t develop a nuclear program unless you use mods like DAIM or EmKeiEn. Not sure if DAIM countries will nuke it up or not, I know EmKeiEn will, but that mod’s latest version has some significant issues with nerfing Germany pre-1939. HOI2 and Doomsday both have vastly overpowered nukes, where a single nuke strike will devastate an entire region. Use this to your advantage!
pinball machine firefighting – PUT IT OUT PUT IT OUT!
sony company owns blizzard - No, it doesn’t. Sorry, Smed.

world of warcraft masturbate – EW. Go away.

We choose to place a giant banana in geostationary orbit in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

Joel Stein actually logs into Second Life and wanders outside the Green Zone.

I thought I’d want to have lots of sex. Meaningless, multipartnered, degrading sex. After all, if Second Life is a virtual community in which you can look however you want, do whatever you want and use the fake name you want, then I could make all my fantasies come true. And as I quickly learned, having sex is exactly what many of the people on the site spend their time doing. Occasionally, it seemed, with characters that look like giant fluffy squirrels\’e2\’80\rdblquote which is wonderful, because there is nothing like the warm flush of superiority you feel when discovering a fetish you don’t have.

Yes, this is the best (and most accurate) writeup of Second Life, ever. Make sure you’re not drinking a beverage when you get to the end.

I think someone finally has a larger blog-generated ego than I.

EI Interactive, the current owners of Horizons, who bought the company from Tulga Games, which came from/had roughly the same management as Artifact Entertainment, has been bought by Pixel Magic Entertainment, which not only has roughly the same management as EI Interactive but, according to a WHOIS check, arose forth from Athena’s brow earlier this month (11/9/06).

That makes this the fourth company since launching to operate Horizons, and the fifth management team to work on Horizons since its inception as a wisp of magic fairy dust in David Allen’s eye.

Apparently, the experience dealing with Horizon’s somehow beyond all reason still extant community has given the Pixel Magic Entertainment team experience to…

provide the basic instruction, community support and tools necessary to help amateur game designers refine their abilities, though our online community.

I am making absolutely none of this up. I’m not nearly that creative.
