In case you missed this mornings’ episode on Triple J, here is what I covered.
- A brief rundown on how Ned duped me into coming to Perth (he convinced me Terry Pratchett, who is notoriously good with fans, lives here nowadays. He does not).
- A discussion about Sega’s new Eternal Maiden Actualization project, helping lonely japanese businessmen make it with tiny whorish robots.
- Some semi-vitriolic coverage of the new Hulk feature.
- Paris Hilton’s World of Warcraft counterpart Haris Pilton, and how this bizarre move by Blizzard might have been made to ease in-game inflation.
- The release of Bankquest, a Japanese piggy-bank with an RPG built in to encourage saving and/or dragonslaying.
- The retirement of Bill Gates. Wheeeeee!
(Incidentally, if any of the Perth listeners know where I can get my hands on some graham crackers so that i may make some delicious s’mores, i will gladly share them. Maybe.)

What on earth is that thing in the picture? Its the stuff of nightmares.
As for Haris Pilton, i think i’ll stick with my 7G, 16 slot bags. I cant find the story anymore but a German guy actually got the max amount of gold. As it turned out the number matched the size of a Kilobyte or some sort of byte. (I cant remember and i only pretend to be a nerd)

Hey, there’s no such thing as a pretend nerd. Nerdism is like sunburn: there are different degrees of severity.
The German in question you’re referring to is Dorgabas on the Illidan server who reached the money cap of 214,748 gold, 2 silver, and 89 copper (thankyou Google). If i ever had that much money i’d probably try and bribe Blizzard into giving me my own zepplin, complete with NPC crew members and fireable cannons.

I miss the zeppelin crews and vending machines. Although if i had my own Zeppelin i would equip bungee cords and charge a few gold for a jump. I would have a fake cord for idiots, “for the ultimate rush try this invisible cord with no weight!” or perhaps a walk the invisible plank competition…
