Right ? RIGHT ?!? :ye_gods: Title: Re: WoW Pod - poopsock 2.0 Post by: Tale on May 10, 2009, 11:58:19 PM Quote Any plans to make WoW Pods and/or AFK Cooksets to sell? No, it is exclusively an Art piece. However as part of my PhD I am researching on ways to link the physical world to the digital environment, and virtual massive multiplayer’s game. I am hoping to look into the cookset as means to provoke exchange, discussions about the food lives of players in relation to their habits. They took care of their avatar, feed them, give them water, make them do crazy adventures; Now their avatar will take care of them, feed them and give them water! edit - OMG this video report is great, it may even be "usefully cynical commentary": http://g4tv.com/thepile/videos/37904/The-MMO-Report-Thursday-April-23rd.html Title: Re: WoW Pod - poopsock 2.0 Post by: WindupAtheist on May 11, 2009, 12:09:34 AM Of course it's Horde. :oh_i_see:
Title: Re: WoW Pod - poopsock 2.0 Post by: Koyasha on May 11, 2009, 02:24:59 AM They shoulda made the chair reclinable so you can fall asleep in it too, having it wake you up in response to in-game events. Now that woulda been good way back in '02 when I was camping Zordak Ragefire. :awesome_for_real:
Title: Re: WoW Pod - poopsock 2.0 Post by: Endie on May 11, 2009, 02:34:00 AM I think I'm going to cancel my wow sub. can i have yr stuff Title: Re: WoW Pod - poopsock 2.0 Post by: Murgos on May 11, 2009, 04:27:09 AM It's a joke. Right ? RIGHT ?!? :ye_gods: It's a grad student farting around with trying to be novel. You have to understand that the general attitude there is one of, 'put smart people in room full of equipment, close door, check every few days to ensure none are dead.' Title: Re: WoW Pod - poopsock 2.0 Post by: Surlyboi on May 11, 2009, 05:52:13 AM I think it's a great idea.
Every WoW player should have one. There should be a way to lock it from the outside, though. Title: Re: WoW Pod - poopsock 2.0 Post by: Lantyssa on May 11, 2009, 07:48:39 AM And check back in two weeks.
Title: Re: WoW Pod - poopsock 2.0 Post by: Morfiend on May 11, 2009, 09:48:40 AM Of course it's Horde. :oh_i_see: Yeah, wouldnt sell for Alliance. They just shit themselves. Title: Re: WoW Pod - poopsock 2.0 Post by: WindupAtheist on May 13, 2009, 09:10:09 AM I'm just saying, everytime I meet a fellow WoW player IRL and they're Horde, they're completely insane. Yes I used to play Horde.
Title: Re: WoW Pod - poopsock 2.0 Post by: Bzalthek on May 13, 2009, 11:34:41 AM I concur (and I was Horde). But, to be honest, on the other side all I met were retards. So, Corky Thatcher vs. Jeffrey Goines; your pick.
