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.

    ... when are they going to have "/girlfriend"?!? Please god, make it soon!

      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.

  5. would be cool by rogabean · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When I first saw this... I thought to myself this was the coolest feature I've ever seen introduced in the land of Norrath (EQ1 player almost 5 years.. moved on to WoW)... but then I just saw all it does is open a web browser up in front of the game... not so cool anymore. Would have been nicer as an "in-game" window.

  6. Try liquid nutrition. by Eunuch · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you're really dedicated, try stuff like Ensure. It's not bad tasting, and you can have it exclusively for as long as you want. Oh, but add fiber.

      I don't have any mod points at the moment, but I'm still wishing there was a "+1, Horrifying" option.

  8. Why isnt that in-game as well? by mnmn · · Score: 4, Interesting

    There should be a little hut on every island etc, where players can go in, and purchase pizza by typing their CC numbers to the lady there. Working at pizzahut would be easier that way.

    Not to mention the pizza can get cheaper on advanced stages, with the game company's help, giving much more incentive to kids to play
