If you had a girlfriend, perhaps you would have to put on your robe and wizard hat.

and WHOOSH! that's the sound of no one getting the joke!

... we find out who that BloodNinja guy was...

If anybody needs the reference, you can find it here

Somehow, I want to imagine Harry as a closet RPG and fantasy geek who keeps his 'hobbies' hidden because of the ridicule hed' get from his friends for being a real wizard who's into fantasy...

"Harry", said Hermione, "Are you ready to... take this to the next level?"

"You bet", said Harry. "I'll put on my robe and wizard hat."

"What? That's not what I'm..."

"I cast Level 3 eroticism. You turn into a beautiful woman, instead of a flat dork."

"What did you call me?!?!"

"I wave my wand of undressing and you turn naked."

"You have no idea what to do, do you?"

"I look through the Pokedex for the best creature. Hermione, I choose you!"

"My god, you're somehow more pathetic than a muggle dork, you play pretend magic even though you're a real wizard?!"

"Okay, if that's the way you want to play, then I'll use this tome of unspeakable horrors I found in the library. The Necronomicon."

"What?! Harry, you're not supposed to-"

"ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! Ia! Ia!"

"My god, what is that thing!?!? It's all tentacle and-"

"I hope you enjoy this, Hermione, I saw this in a Japanese cartoon once..."

"*NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!* *mrrrrhhhh*"

Ah, well. One can dream, can't he? (References to bloodninja and Cthulu)

I don't know if that's the complete archive; seems to be fragments and other compilations scattered all over the net. Anyhow, be advised not to consume any food or beverage whilst reading these gems - empirical knowledge suggest that you'll either choke to death or suffer a nasal or oral explosion with rather bad consequences to the keyboard/monitor... Enjoy!

Google (you can even click the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button) for "bloodninja".
First few times I read this, I was laughing so hard I was crying.

Personally, I can't stand WoW - I just don't much go in for that "I put on my robe and wizard hat" crap, but something else did turn out to hook me in rather completely - in my case, it's EVE Online. Since I've started playing that, I haven't spent any time with CS:S, BF2, or any of the other titles I generally spent time on (not even GTA).

I'm not saying the game I like is better than the game in the article, but what I do observe is that a well-crafted MMOG can pull a player in for hours and weeks at a time. I know I don't bother considering buying games right now, because I know that I probably won't play them - hell, I'm not playing the ones I already have. So you have probably four big MMOGs dominating the landscape, which is great for Blizzard, CCP, etc., but the rest of the industry sees a decline.

So what's the problem? If you want to compete with the market leaders, produce something more compelling, exciting, shiny, and innovative than what's out there. Don't whine that better games are eating your lunch. From what I see, the big MMOGs are winning because they are that good. Now, if someone were to put out a spaceship-based MMOG where you could dock into a station, exit your ship, and engage in FPS combat to take over the station, land on the planets to do missions, PVE, PVP, world-building, etc., I'd be in line at midnight to give it a try. I bet if someone did a robe-and-wizard-hat MMOG where there were no shards or instances (a-la EVE's ginormous server cluster with anywhere between 15,000-25,000 players on at any given time), then you'd see guys in tunics camping outside Fry's.

In the games industry, if you can't beat 'em, go work for EA, where you can at least be sure of steady income for producing shit rerun knockoffs. Or you could do better, and actually beat 'em.

Aight. I put on my robe and wizard hat.
