Norrathian Pizza Delivery

Posted by Zonk on from the elves-with-pepperoni dept.

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.

      Through a bizarre experiement inspired by shock therapy, they implement the "/girlfriend" command to load up goatse.cx in the browser.

      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...

  12. two questions by PaganRitual · · Score: 3, Funny

    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?
