Nerfbat Slogan Update

Ah, the slogan. A website’s slogan is one of the most important and memorable pieces to the puzzle. Okay, I don’t believe that. That is precisely one of many reasons that I have a bunch of slogans that can appear below Nerfbat randomly when you come to the site. Every time I feel like I’m clever, I add another slogan. I’ve added one or two slogans recently and people ask me what they all are on occasion (despite them being listed on the about page), so here they are:

This time with descriptions of their origin! Booyah!

• “A beta is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is it early. It arrives precisely when it means to.”
  • Wise words from Gandalf about MMORPG betas.
• “The root of all evil on the Internet”
  • Because it is.
• “Do not take with alcohol.”
  • Too much alcohol may cause you to enjoy the site and/or become dyslexic.
• “Never play leapfrog with a unicorn.”
  • I believe the pain suffered from simply imagining this is clear enough.
• “Video games, like sex, are better when they’re multiplayer.”
  • This is factual.
• “Free Alcohol: The Ultimate NDA”
  • Words spoken by someone (can’t remember who now) at an EQII Community Summit.
• “If you are reading this, it means you can read.”
  • I think I’m funny.
• “The Nerfbat loves you.”
  • I think I replaced some other word with Nerfbat here, though I don’t know what it means anymore because the site hates everyone.
• “And on the eighth day, God created the Nerfbat.”
  • He felt like one more miracle would be worthwhile.
• “Game design, development, and industry commentary”
  • Possibly the only real slogan of the bunch.
• “Is Nerfbat gonna have to choke a b*tch?”
  • Shamelessly stolen from Wayne Brady on Chappelle’s Show.
• “Nerfbat is Jack Bauer in blog form.”
  • *Intense Whisper* One of the most accurate descriptions possible.
• “I don’t want to reinvent the wheel, I want to change it from wood to rubber.”
  • Here’s where I think I’m smart when talking about evolution vs. innovation in game design.
• “Pie belongs on the table, not in the sky.”
  • Another time I felt like I was being clever at work. You need to ground your ideas in reality.
• “Not Responsible for Broken Monitors.”
  • Because I friggin’ hate those stickers on trucks that say this. They ARE responsible, damnit.
• “Righting is a write, not a privilege.”
  • I’m pretty sure I stole this from someone.

Well, there you have it. One day I will feel clever yet again and will add to the random slogans that can appear. Hopefully one or two people actually get some enjoyment out of it.
