Comedy Central's Indecision 2008 blog is feeling froggy -- after
we posted about their failed attempt
at World of Warcraft humor, they got the original writer of their article, who is
apparently an old school D&D gamer, to respond to our allegations that the piece wasn't funny. He calls us
WoW players "Lancelot-come-latelies," and says that before we ever rolled our first Night Elf, he was rolling d20s in his friend's parents' basement.
Which may be true. But he's wrong about one thing: we
WoW players are funny. Just look at
our memes,
our injokes, and our heroes, from
Steve to
Leeroy Jenkins. We know funny. Tony DiGerolamo probably hasn't even ever
tricked somebody into /gquitting -- he wouldn't know funny if it was an epic drop off of
Saurfang himself! And he wants to play the nerd card by claiming he's nerdier than us? Listen, Tony, you may have been hanging out with your friends in basements, but we're hanging out in basements alone!
Wait...
At any rate, we hope
the excellent Indecision 2008 blog has learned something from this experience: leave the
Warcraft humor to those who've powerleveled it up to a 375 skill, and stick to the political jokes. Seriously, though, is Lewis Black hiring? Because I've got
some jokes about Warlocks that are
comedy gold!
