This is How Wii Roll

I will take the beginning opportunity to explain to the un-educated exactly what a “boyfriend bomb” is.  If you’ve already figured it out, then consider this an online IQ test and you’ve just scored above einstein but just below those cavemen on those Geico commercials.  They’re stylin’ dudes…  

Boyfriend Bomb (v) – 1.) The act of a female (that is liked by a male) suddenly (and typically very painfully) revealing that she already has a boyfriend.  2.) The total annihilation of an honorable man’s aspirations.  3.) The most devastating attack possible, after tech-rushing to tier 3 early game, in the Battle of the Sexes.

Usage: 1.) “Man I could stay up talking to you all night again any time you want, but my boyfriend likes me to be home so he can call and check up on me!”  2.) “Those four mixed drinks you bought me were delicious, they’re exactly like the ones my boyfriend always gets me…at least before we had three kids together.”  (the latter is also a form of the rare, but terrifying, children-bomb)

The genuineness of the ‘boyfriend bombing’ has not yet been determined, but we’re fairly sure it is 90% conjecture and 10% pure fan-girl skeeziness.  These odds do not, however, do not convince me one way or the other.  The lovely lady featured in this week’s comic is the one, and only, miss Amber Night.  The events proceeding the comic went as such:  Dave posted his Wii number, a week or two later Amber acquired a Wii and posted her number also, Dave took stepped up to the bar first and sent our proxies picture above on over, Amber responded with her own Mii and “some guy named Bob S”, Dave messed himself, and came crying to me… 

Okay so he wasn’t really crying, but he did believe thoroughly and completely that he’d just been the first victim in history of a Wii-based Boyfriend Bomb.  Upon sharing this information with me, I alleviated his suffering.  You see, the big thing you absolutely must realize about Ms. Night is that she is quite in love with one Bob Saget.  Thus the appearance of a Mii titled Bob S. became less of a dark omen and more of a hilarious consistency of character.  Dave, freshly re-elated, was suddenly horrified upon realizing what kind of moosey fate lay before him having such events play out before one who creates WEBCOMICS!  I, the all-powerful artist, could lay his shame out for all to see, and dispense a hefty serving of my personal bearded justice at the same time. 

Now I suppose I should do a sort of retrospective introduction, Amber has been blogging for over a year now under the prestigious guise of some sort of woman that also happens to be involved in game development (somehow, I think she paints the programmers’ toe-nails or something…)  It should be quickly apparent to anyone with a set of decent eyeballs in their head that she can write up one hell of a storm when she really wants to, and serves that writing up with a dose of opinion and a dash of feminism, throw in a tablespoon of flamers, haters, and spammers and you get yourself one damn entertaining blog!  She was fortunate enough to get a hands-on *wink wink* interview with one Raph Koster back in december, and shortly before that she made a video for what purpose I can only guess was to simply get more traffic to her site (I kid, I kid!).  She has, thankfully, assured me personally that I will be going into the slave-pens when Amber-nation comes to full fruition, an honor for which I shall be forced to be eternally grateful. 

I hope that you enjoy the various links to her blog, do check out the other things she posts there as her whims please, we promise you shouldn’t have much trouble finding something to like.

In addition, I’d like to point out how observant the wordpress client has become.  Over the weekend I was perusing the admin pages and came across the first sign of blogging AI sentience:

It’s funny, because it’s true.  If you don’t get the joke, then there’s not much I can do for you…maybe if you stare at it like a Magic Eye kind of thing it’ll come to you.

P.S. – Dave <3 Amber!
