Funcom is having a launch-party for Age of Conan in Oslo today. And I’ll be there. In plate armour. As one of Conan’s honour guard. And I’m getting paid for it 😃 ---

You must be cute if they’re paying you for the gig. Do me a favor and flirt with the developers, tell them you’re really _really_ looking forward to playing the game and that you hope that it doesn’t suck or have a bad launch. ---

Free booze after a cool paid gig, as much roast meat as I can stuff my face with, and three months of free gameplay? Seriously, this was one really cool party. My group paraded around in plate armour and did the crowd control bit, while there was a battle, a cavalry charge, a fire-show, live music by the people behind the soundtrack, and food! Afterwards, there was a party downstairs (with real dancing girls in a cage!) and a Turbonegro consert (for some reason. Can’t figure out where that band fit it, but it’s all good…) ---

To crush your enemies, drive them before you, and hear the lamentation of their women? ---
