NOW SHOWING!
WHO WE IS
Paul Verhoeven (right) is on Triple J, as host of the Weekend Breakfast Show. He is a writer and film critic for Yen Magazine, and insists he is a regular columnist for Horse and Hound magazine (unverified). He recently finished a weekly series for The Vine called Curiageous where he answered people's burning questions and drank his own urine. He enjoys ducks.
Luke Ryan (left) is a stand-up comic, writer, and general man-about-town. He is a news blogger and feature writer for The Vine and also writes for the music blog Electrorash and the street mag ThreeThousand. In 2009 he performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in his oh so descriptively titled show 'Luke's Got Cancer'. It was funnier than it sounds.
Both of them spend more of their time then they should perusing the Internet and gaming. The Somewhat Ambitious is essentially the product of this excess.

Bahahahahaha!
I don’t know about “they” saying that “video games don’t affect kids” though…
“They” aren’t any people group I know of that exist on this planet.

If he was a rogue we’d be fucked. Mutilate spec has ruined the public education system.

I think he belongs in Barrens chat.

Rogues? Hunters? Really? AoE would fuck up classrooms. Mages, kids, are the real terror.

“Hammer of Justice” just made my day.
Also, I punched other kids in the mouth in school and never got 105 days out of school suspension – that’s 3 months off!

although, lest we forget, he had just cast holy shock as well. that could cause some serious damage in the classroom.

I love the roleplaying aspect of the whole thing; he couldn’t click a button and create a visual spell effect, so he runs around yelling “I cast X!” and “I cast Y!”…
I reckon he could teach most people on RP servers a thing or two.

my son who is nearly 8, used to do a perfectly choreographed rogue backstab. Usually accompanied with infantile battle cry of “Backstab!” upon delivering said blow. Unfortunately i rarely got to witness this ballet, as i was normally the recipient. even more unfortunately, being too young to play with knives his weapon of choice was often 2 bits of wood found lying about, or broken off some unsuspecting shrub. one day, however, while on a family outing to the Andy Warhol exhibition and the Qld GOMA, my son found himself a pair of lead pencils with which to perform patented move. Just after we passed through the entrance, i was reading one of those factoids they post up right at the beginning of all goma ekkas, when i felt 2 wasp stings, one in lower back and one in my left butt cheek. I didn’t hear his cry of “backstab” over my cry of “what the fuck was that?!!!”. I turn around and theres jnr holding 2 pencils standing like Feyd-Rautha ready to strike again. Normally i would do my best “Why you little!” and we’d wrestle a bit. But all i could think of to say was “you-little-bastard-come-here !” A phrase he is also all too familiar with, so he legged it. Down the skirting they have there to stop idiots sticking their noses into the priceless artworks. In search mother. He found mum, but hot on his heals was the security guard he ran past. I never found out what the security guard said, but even tho he was still HOLDING THE PENCILS, all the way to the car, I got abused for a full 15minutes for yelling at the poor child, and having the guard ask his mum to leave.

@brett: You are being sent a The Somewhat Ambitious t-shirt. That was the best comment I’ve ever seen on this blog. Kudos, sir.

LOL Frickin hilarious, I still don’t get how Casting can be considered “Vulgar Language”.
I just noticed the Referring Staff Member’s initials are GM even more hilarious.
This has made my day Luke lol

The funiest thing about some of these comments is I can remember seeing a youtube video of a guy sneaking into a lecture while the lecturer was still talking everyone going silent as he does the sneak walk across the room til he reached his friend on the other side of the room upon which time he yells AMBUSH Sinister strike Eviscirate and then vanish then promptly sneaks about out of the room. I’d link it but I spent 30 minutes looking for it and couldn’t find it.

My biggest problem with this is… who the fuck uses Seal of Command?? What a noob, I’d suspend him for 105 days too.
17 Peta // Jun 11, 2009 at 12:36 pm
Actually, the thing I love about this is that the form tries to tell the teacher how to use a pen – ‘press firmly’? I’ll press however the hell hard I like bitch.
18 Dboy // Jun 11, 2009 at 2:07 pm
@Peta I believe this might be so that the carbon copy would show through clearly
19 Charlsie // Jun 11, 2009 at 3:26 pm
