OK... I am an avid reader of "CTRL+ALT+DEL". This guy really has a handle on gamers. When he posted his normal <u><b>Monday</u></b> Comic, I was taken back.... Is this real? Can someone please tell me that this is a joke? Online pizza so you don't have to get off you A$$??? Then I see this <u><b>today</u></b>.

:eek::eek: :shakehead :eek::eek:

What are we coming to? BTW, what is the average wait time after clicking "submit" for the pizza? Can you put detailed instructions with the order? You know, like

<font color=blue size=3>
"Open front door, go down hallway to second door on right, nock twice, enter, place pizza on table next to PC... DO NOT TALK OR BOTHER PERSON ON PC... Pick up money from speaker next to PC... Walk out." </font>

    Oh yes, it's true. Personally, though, I'd rather have the /pee command than the /pizza command... sometimes the action is just too intense to get up. I had to hide in a dumpster in HL2DM while I was peeing the other day just to avoid getting killed!

    They could at least put in a command to order these people some health food. Some nice rice cakes or fake meat. If they're too lazy to pick up the phone and call in an order, then they probably don't need the calories of pizza.

    You seem to have disproven your <a href="http://www.short-media.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17090">earlier hypothesis</a> :p

    I don't see the big deal, phone or over the internet... it's all delivered either way unless you want to pick it up. Who the hell cares? It's not in actual in game feature, it opens up your web browser, so you do have to leave the game, though you can stay logged in and return. Like Alt Tab or Alt Enter, or something.

    I like it, don't usually have pizza huts number handy as I usually throw away all advertisements.

    I was also pretty skeptical when I first saw that at Ctrl-Alt-Del, I didn't know if that was real.

    WoW may sometimes delay my trip to the bathroom, but that's just bad. If you really need to have pizza that bad and don't know the number, you can always dial 411... :shakehead

    i also don't see what's wrong with ordering online and ordering on the phone.

    just a different method of communication.

    It's not the pizza ordering thing that bothers me.

    It's the idea that this company is marketing addiction to their game. They're like "oh, if you want YUMMY PIZZA - don't bother getting up from THE GAME - We'll send it to you - STAY AND PLAY, STAY AND PLAY"

    Addiction? People can order whatever pizza they want, whenever they want, IF they want. I think somebody's been absorbing the "facts" from that "Supersize Me" movie too readily.

    I dont think it is the addiction to pizza that Prime is talking about. He's talking about the addiction to the everquest game itself.

    Q, I would have believed you, except for the fact that you said you have hair! :D

    Last time I saw you, um.... you had NO hair, much less GREEN hair..... ;D

    OK... ya got me. I have no hair in which to be green.... but that's by choice... the lack of hair, not the green thing. As for the "REAL" thing... I've not played Everquest II or for that matter, the original Everquest. But the genre is the same... there are always those few nut jobs that REALLY get into the game and lose themselves. Weak minds....

    I order pizza online from Papa Johns myself. I am really lazy. I wait as long as I can while playing Wow before taking a potty break. Then I have to find a good place to hide so I dont get attacked.
