Adventurers from both factions now fight for dominance of the area. I personally put an AMD tattoo on my forehead and wore the shirt.The Battle for Nazjatar is world PVP event, which takes place in Nazjatar. Later that day I saw him and his coworker as they were leaving, they gave me about 10 more shirts, which I gave to all my friends. I ask for one, he gives me THE WHOLE STACK and says "don't let them see these or theyll take your badge and kick you out". On the way back I see the AMD guy walking away from the center, with a huge stack of temp tattoos in his hand. They went off to the side and yelled for a while. By the time he was out of shirts one of the Quakecon organizers came over and started yelling at him that he "couldn't be there", and AMD wouldn't be a future sponsor if he stayed. Saturday (i think it was, it's all a haze) an AMD guy came and in front of the center was passing out AMD shirts and tattoos. I was at Quakecon, which was sponsored by Intel. Live your life in whatever way suits you best!

All that crap was fun when I was a teen, so to each his own. I take pride in not jumping whenever some corporate marketing shill tells me to get addicted to his ice cream.Īnd I DO NOT CARE whose microchip is faster.īut then. But I also have self-respect and an identity of my very own which I didn't buy at some death star mall. Sure, perhaps I might seem, 'Too Serious' to the average burger-eating, cell-phone fashion zombie. This is a once in a billion chance of a lifetime to try all those funky toys out.īut pardon me for thinking there are FAR more interesting things in life than falling in line with some corporate promotional department's greedy wishes so that some millionaire can make another million off everybody's inability to resist their fascination with shiny plastic doo-dads and fake boobs. I can sort of see the argument.Īfter all, this is the only time in history, a window which will be open for only a few brief nano-seconds on the geologic time scale, where I can buy scratch-n-sniff stickers and scratch-n-win lottery tickets, and fizzy sugar water in a can, and pop a high-tech ecstasy pill and wear spandex and running shoes and play video games and watch movies and all of that other crazy stuff. I've been accused of being, 'Too Serious' and not allowing myself to just, 'Have Fun'. In the end, they both sell more units to the piglets.
