Taking a leaf out of Wowinsiders book, I’m going to relay a Warcraft-influenced dream I had last night.
I was at the Undercity bank. Alan Tudyk and I were holding hands for some reason, and we rocked up at the bank counter. I realised I was holding a can of Pepsi, and was prompted by Alan to show the attendant, because if I did, something special would happen. So I conceded, and shuffled up to the counter sheepishly, sliding the pepsi can into view. The attendant (who was dressed like a starbucks barista for some reason) looked startled, and gestured for me to follow him. When we reached the end of the counter, he took my pepsi can, tapped it, then from underneath the counter pulled out four more cans of Pepsi. Then he nodded at Alan, and Alan nodded at me, and I’m just standing there holding all these fucking Pepsi cans. What the hell does that even mean?
Maybe I should lay off the cheese. That, or all the paint I’m huffing.

Of all humans, why Alan Tudyk?!

One word: Wash.
Besides, who would your brain have cast as your pepsi-endorsing hand-holding companion?

Hmmm… I never really watched Firefly. *wince*
Mine would probably be Warwick Davis considering my first thought to ‘holding-hands’ went with Wicket the Ewok. Was Savis in the Wicket-suit for Caravan of Courage?
Now I have to watch that again.

OK, I had a semi game-related dream last night. Max Payne. But probably because I’d just seen the trailer for the upcoming movie starring Marky Mark – sans Funky Bunch.

When I first got Puzzle Quest I played it for two days straight. Then started playing it in my head while sleeping.

@Simon
Same thing with me and Duke Nukem 3d! Every time I closed my eyes I could see that damn 3 barrelled machine gun thing.
The dream obviously means that your Pepsi heavy portfolio will pay off for yet another thirsty investor!

Maybe pepsi can sponsor my dreams.
hang on…
Aren’t Pepsi sponsors of Warcraft? AM I HAVING PRODUCT-PLACEMENT IN MY DREAMS?!

Pretty sure it’s Coke (I know it is in China, at least).
Youtube “World of Warcraft Coke Commercial” and you’ll get some wacky Chinese chicks turning into nightelves and smashing the shit out of their orc boss… Or something.

Did that orc represent capitalism?

Unless the mink coat and gaudy gold chain are standard-issue… I’d say ‘yes’.
