There Is Love For Everyone This Weekend!
"This is a love story. It began on a hot summer night in Santa Barbara, Calif., when Tamara Langman helped kill the yellow-eyed demon known as Prince Malchezaar. She was logged into World of Warcraft, the multiplayer fantasy game, and her avatar—Arixi Fizzlebolt, a busty gnome with three blond pigtails—had also managed to pique the interest of John Bentley, a k a Weulfgar McDoal." Are you ready to have your world rocked? Happily ever after, those two! (Also a hetero-fellow met a lady World of Warcraft avatar and she actually turned out to be IRL biofemale!) So we encourage you to go out and meet that person/troll/furry that you've been flirting with via computer and do them in person this weekend. Sure, it helps if you're open to all forms of genitalia, but it's 2011, don't be so judgmental. Live a little! Parts is parts! It's like the poet said: What do you say to taking chances? What do you say to jumping off the edge? Let Celine Dion be your spirit animal!
That is sweet. Nice to read a story where internet introductions didn't end up with someone gutted and hanging from a clothesline. Nerds can be so sweet.
/lvl 85 human warrior, I'm allowed to call them nerds.
I sometimes forget how the rest of the world works when the World of Warcraft player in my life has characters with names like Prezbartlett.
Parts is parts! You're the poet, Choire, and don't you ever forget it.
This is at least part bullshit, because Warcraft avatars can't have last names. The name has to be 12 characters or less, and it can't include spaces.
… I, uh, read that somewhere.
@Mr. B Quite frankly, I don't think fact-checking naming conventions for MMORPG human-interest stories is priority one at NYTimes.com.
@Mr. B There are RP addons that allow you to designate last names. It does sound like these guys were on an RP-server.
Umm, i mean, according to this wikipedia article I
wroteread.I think I'm immersing myself in the wrong alternate realities.
Did you hear in Celine Dion's new show, she is singing the theme to Goldfinger, Ella Fitzgerald AND Michael Jackson? Throw in "My Heart Will Go On" and I'm totally there! http://celinedioninvegas.com/
