"the idea and lay out is pretty neat. Those guys are douche bags though"[sic]

The !Zombie! game site has been, for some time now, getting all these mad hits. I mean it went from zero to sixty somewhere around late October. Mostly due to a blog entry at InkTank, which is funky because he's had like 1 entry since then. But a ton of people seem to stream through since he wrote it and I've been mildly amused.

Today I noticed this link from a Penny-Arcade forum thread and it's sort of harsh and goofy.

We're easy to pick on. It's a niche hobby and a niche game. We look like dorks (we are dorks). What I find amusing is that anyone wastes time thinking about it who doesn't have an interest. I mean, the quote about being bored and going Godzilla on the town; why would you have bothered to show up?

And why are we douches, again?

I think I'm missing some vital subcontext.

I spotted that a few days ago, and was just about to post the link in the forum, and then strangely didn't have the heart. Totally out of character.

If you listen to that "Can dogs convert?" line enough, it starts to sound a lot like "I wanted to go to Toshi Station to pick up some power converters." I can understand where the douche bags comment came from. To be specific, I'm talking about Alfred.

Yikes!

I guess I'll have to go back and watch the video. I know we sound like retards; I like to think that's part of the charm.

But it's not like I made the video for anyone other than me and the group.

It's not likely to be an indoctrination video for brikwar newbies...

Yes! I am Luke Skywalker. In all his whiny, yet able to kick your ass glory. :)
