Just to pat myself on the back for a moment, I was a programmer (in fact, the de facto lead programmer) on both Battletanx and Battletanx: Global Assault, both of which were fun games, despite having very little relationship with their advertising. (Plus, they had a horribly sexist plot, but that wasn’t my fault) (I was just following orders).
Anyone who doesn’t like the bear should watch those two ads.
I’m terribly sorry, I had no intention of setting up a portal to the underworld. Now I’m gonna have to help an old lady across the street or something to wipe out the bad karma.
I remember back when Snuggle Softener or whatever first came out (I was like 6 or something). They had a promo to get a ‘snuggles’ bear, you needed to get a UPC from the small, medium, and large containers of the softener. At that age, I was (occording to my mom) the embodiment of all things evil, so I saw a kindred spirit with that bear and DESPERATLY wanted one…We collected the UPCs from the small and medium containers, but when we looked for the specially marked Large containers, we couldnt find any of them, even after going to 12 different supermarkets. My mom bought an unmarked Large container and sent the 3 UPCs to the company with a letter that explained how we couldnt find the Large one and asking to send the bear anyway because her ‘demon child’ wanted it desperatly…They NEVER sent the bear…To make a long story short (TOO LATE) I was severly traumatised by this, and I have never been the same since… For one thing ever since then I have been a massive abuser of Ellipsees…I intend to sue the company for psychological trama, and have them pay in snuggle bears…Then I can create my Snuggles Army and TAKE OVER THE WORLD…
Mwah ha ha ha ha ha ha…
(oops, I forgot to take my meds today, sorry…)
-Blah
“Of all the things I miss, I miss my MIND the most” Ozzy…I think…
And add FABRIC SOFTENER! Lots and lots of fabric softener!
Maybe we can push the horrid undead thing back into the terrifying softness dimension that is its lair, all the way back through some kind of dimensional inversion, so that it comes out all hard and snarly and pointy, as befits its evil nature.
