I just checked it, and it is true. I argue that it is still in no way suck-uppy in the cliché way that Shaughnessy suggests, and my general stance on his crappy article remains intact. However, in the interests of fairness, I'd say Rick has a point...Ken Tremendoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15290167169845520176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923437.post-46452064362952015562007-03-26T19:41:00.000-04:002007-03-26T19:41:00.000-04:00This is <A HREF="http://eqbeastiary.allakhazam.com/search.shtml?id=4609" REL="nofollow">Raster</A>.<BR/><BR/>dak, the mystery is solved.Juniorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12399868922850358920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923437.post-14382160719098576662007-03-26T18:22:00.000-04:002007-03-26T18:22:00.000-04:00Schilling's Everquest babble reminds me of that famously lingo-istic Ed Lynch post-game quote about a tough inning:<BR/><BR/><B>"The bases were drunk, and I painted the black with my best yakker. But blue squeezed me, and I went full. I came back with my heater, but the stick flares one the other way and chalk flies for two bases. Three earnies! Next thing I know, skipper hooks me and I'm sipping suds with the clubby."</B>Ken Tremendoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15290167169845520176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923437.post-3957160677317556322007-03-26T17:48:00.000-04:002007-03-26T17:48:00.000-04:00<B>C'mon dude, you ever hear of a cleric pulling in a group with a Paladin?</B><BR/><BR/>No, I have not. <BR/><BR/>Funniest shit ever.Ken Tremendoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15290167169845520176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923437.post-53406347929727252232007-03-26T17:46:00.000-04:002007-03-26T17:46:00.000-04:00Here's the whole interview:<BR/><BR/>http://everquest.allakhazam.com/news/sdetail91.html<BR/><BR/>Fantastic.

He did an interview about this and it was amazing. For instance:<BR/><BR/><B>Q: Tell us some of the most interesting adventures you have had while playing Everquest? Did you ever do something really stupid? Something that you are really proud of?<BR/><BR/>A: My first foray into Lower Guk was a lot of fun. My favorite memories are pretty basic. Completing the Robe of the Lost Circle quest was a blast. Camping Raster was a nightmare, but I got stupidly lucky. I had pretty much resigned myself to camping Scythehands in the Mino room, logging in, seeing another monk already there camping, and waiting. One night I log in, and there's a 55 level monk there. Great guy. He's been there for like 12 hours. No Raster -- pop, despawn, pop, despawn -- still no Raster. Now I'm in about my 3rd day there -- total time camping him maybe 5-10 hours tops -- but getting some good groups when I did have the camp (lotsa guild mates showed up and we pulled and got great exp). Anyway, this guy says ok, one more spawn and it's yours. So I wait and this guy says 'screw it' and leaves. I get a full group and we get the camp. We are there for about 2 minutes when we are in a major, major brawl and we barely survive. I'm laying there, feign death style, and no one in the group is hurt but me. I have no mend and about a bub of health. My group runs some frogloks down the hall to finish them off and POP! RASTER! If there was a way to scream louder than caps in EQ I was doing it. Man I am straight panicking because I know I have NO CHANCE soloing and the party has run off. I'm in my hotel room; it's like 5am, and I am straight hollering, in EQ and in real life. Bottom line is the group comes back, heals me, and kills Raster! WOOT!</B><BR/><BR/>Once again, ladies and gentlemen, that was Curt Schilling.Juniorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12399868922850358920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923437.post-22043588108155639502007-03-26T15:08:00.000-04:002007-03-26T15:08:00.000-04:00I got this one guys. <BR/><BR/>It's Scythehands Voxslayer. <BR/><BR/>Haven't looked it up to verify.dakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02768386460112735397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923437.post-579728141853309922007-03-26T14:57:00.000-04:002007-03-26T14:57:00.000-04:00Junior: <BR/><BR/>Please post in this comments section, without checking the internet, Curt Schilling's World of WarCraft (or is it EverQuest?
