Oh, yeah, about that whole communication thing, also we have Ventrilo, which means we don't need to type to talk, we have microphones to speak to eachother and speakers to hear eachother. Which means it is almost like a phone, except we can all talk simultaneously. So AIM would be a big step backwards.

Also, please don't grief on us for our nerddom, it's people that berate our nerdly activites that further degrade our self-esteem and make us into the shells of men that we could have been. And we could have been so much more, were there not complications to being able to level up faster like Blackrock Orc mobtrains and inviting strangers into instance parties. Egad man, to sum it up,


Nerds 2, Girls 0.

You guys are pathetic...

You guys are pathetic. Wouldn't it be much easier, less time consuming and more productive to just pick up the phone and CALL each other?? But no, you can't bear to tear yourselves away from your precious computers... so in that case, why not just IM each other? At least that gives some semblance of "real" conversation. *sigh*

I agree with the panel, the panel being John

Another idea, create white trash methamphetamine addicts named Cletus, Pete, Darnell, and Bobby Joe, all with matching molestaches, and just have them autorun into packs of wolves and die repeatedly.

Another idea, model a character after Mikey, have him wear a red shirt and no pants and run around yelling "TAKE THAT BAD GUYS!" and falling asleep at random times.

Another idea, create characters named after folks on Sesame St and stand around Trias' Cheese (the game equivalent of Mr. Hooper's Store - cause we all know Mr. Hooper had some kind of smuggling racket going on too) teaching folks about numbers and illustrating the proper use of prepositions.

Another idea, find a reputable 5th (Mark, man, get the game) and play as the characters from Voltron, and talk about how the Power Rangers are posers and see if anyone gets the joke.

Another idea, with the 5 players in mind, play as the kids from Captain Planet. John has to be the South American kid, just because. I get to be the hot Russian chick cause I came up with the idea.

Captain Planet had a mullet.

My brain's done pooping, I think that's it for my ideas.

Oh, one more, I want to redesign my UI with the 16-bit RPG menu feel.

Lettuce bonks himself on the head. Doh!

Mark, you just need to come hang out more. Like when you were a freshman and you'd come over to our house to play video games. You can come over and play World of Warcraft on my computer if you want. Also we need to do some songwriting, because I think Mikey and I would love to do a band with you again. I just need to get my equipment back from Stephen's house and we need to find a place to practice. Anyway, Warcraft.

My realistic suggestion is for you to make sure you obtain a phat video card and enough RAM to handle that big mother of a game, and then go get a copy for yourself. Trust me, it's worth it. So far I successfully convinced John, Mikey, Kildoo, and my FF friends Glenn, Zach, and Zeke to get it.

I'm trying to figure out how I can make the game more interesting, since the novelty of food-named characters is wearing off. Ok, just kidding, but I think I need to make a character named Superman and John needs to make a character named Lex Luthor and they need to duel constantly on Friday nights in the middle of Stormwind.

Maybe I should have just been playing City of Heroes from the beginning.

What goes in the title line?

I gotcher update right here.
The Brotherhood Blog hasn't been updated in a while, namely because The Brotherhood Proper is online in other ways. Particularly, entrenching themselves in the nerdly calamity that is World of Warcraft.

While other people are doing useful things with their off-work time like painting stained glass windows and finding cures for the trisomy-13 defect, Kildoo, Mikey, John and myself are hard at work slaying dragonkin and Venture Company miners. And, oh yes, improving our blacksmithing and enchanting. Glaiven.

So in case you other Brothers were wondering what is going on in Nate not-Beard land, my exploits and superpowers have congealed and fused with those of the other aformentioned three.

One idea I had to make the game more amusing, discounting the fact that we each have already made ridiculous characters, and in some cases, ridiculous amounts of characters…

Well one idea I had was to make women for eachother's characters. This is really only so I can laugh at seeing a 'Brideofbacon' or 'Brideofkildoo' running about Azeroth.

Ok, I'm completely done.

BAM!

I think I'm going to Raleigh on Saturday, so if anyone actually IS interested in holding a Singles Awareness Day party, please speak now or forever hold your piece.

Otherwise I'm going to take my time coming back Saturday night.

Or, we can just have a party just for the excuse of having a party, singles and couples alike.

I'm coming wearing nothing but balloon animals and a smile.
