Norrathian Pizza Delivery

Eletido writes "SOE's newest massively online role-playing game has now incorporated the ability to buy Pizza Hut pizza from the in-game command prompt. From the site: 'You're in luck - pizza is just a few key strokes away! While playing EverQuest II just type /pizza and a web browser will launch the online ordering section of pizzahut.com.' Never has gaming been made so easy." Commentary available from Grimwell.com.

      Maybe /escort or /prostitute would be more appropriate for this situation.

      see, i'd be your girlfriend because you're a gamer, as I am one too, and would probably have a hard time being with someone who didn't understand my passion for electronic entertainment...

      ...But then, when i realize you're an Everquest gamer, I'd dump everything out of your apartment window and take all your money for not spending enough time with me.

      Disclaimer: not really going to dump all your stuff or steal your cash.
      Disclaimer fine print: not really going to date you, either.

    You know, when they started injecting cheese into the crust, we all wondered where else they were going to try to cram extra cheese. I guess now we know...

    It's your "freaking idea" great. Oooh, you hold the "copywright" to this wonderful technology. You rule, dood, now if anyone gave two shits. But good luck suing Sony or whoever actually does this. I'm sure you could use Commander Taco as a witness. Make sure he dresses up in his Commander coveralls and top hat sos he's all presentable like. This would be a big news case, probably covered on courtTV 24/7. Crap, I bet you get interviewed on Hannity and Colmes. In fact, start booking your world tour now before anyone thinks of this. Now that it's on Slashdot I bet Sony will implement this tomorrow since they lurk the boards for marketing ideas. I'm sure they haven't thought of it yet. Duder, wait, I got it. You should build a whole mmorpg based around this idea it's so gnarly. Hell, put it in the Sims. That way, people could come home from work then log into Sims Online where they could send their character to work and watch him shuffle papers all day for $.30 game pesos an hour for eight game hours. After a couple months of this you use your hard earned game lira and buy a box of erasers and some Bazooka bubble gum. No, wait, I forgot, your idea is if you kill some great monster then you go to Disney World. So no erasers and Bazooka, you should be able to buy like a hover car or 30 minutes alone with Liz Hurley.

    1. will the pizza be nerfed in the next patch? i don't want to order one now and find that when it gets here, it's got less pepperoni and more cheese than before. and i swear this new patch has made my dew less fizzy. i can't find anything in the readme about this though. WHY AREN'T THEY TELLING US THE CHANGES!?!?!

    2. does the 'get it in 15 minutes or it's free' clause count if it takes me 25 minutes to answer the door because i'm currently instancing with a group and want to make sure im not AFK when the blue item is dropped and i want to roll for it?
