Do you remember being a kid around Christmas time?  Waiting for that one present that you just KNEW you were going to get?  The anticipation and dreams of how great it would be would be chipping away at your soul like a bloodsucking demon that eats away at your insides until you violently explode. (Hey, remember Mez?)

You open it, filled with joy.  You can’t even fathom that this moment has finally arrived.  The joy you feel is similar to the relief Rudin feels receiving a joint he didn’t have to give a hand job for.  You take the gift and begin to assemble.  You don’t even know where to begin.  Your hands tremble and fumble around more than Memon’s on a first date.  (To be fair, most of the guys he dates are pretty out of his league)

Memon

Time goes on and you begin to lose interest.  You want to love this present still.  You want to continue to play with it.  Soon you find a new toy, but you really despise the idea of playing with that new toy.   After all, you’re a one toy kid.  Your relationship is one of love and devotion, similar to that found between Sohwyn and his sweaty left palm.  Sure, you COULD flip flop around toys like Munhel does realms, but you still have that sense of loyalty to the original toy.  It pains you to leave it, but you must.  You have to walk away with no feel of attachment....like Dissb during a dungeon run.

Eventually, you are drawn back.  Something about that toy lures you back in.  It is seductive and scary in its nature, like a Catholic priest teaching an altar boy how to bob for apples for the first time.  (Right Jaxxel?)

Jaxxel

 You realize that although this toy doesn’t hold your interest as long as it used to, the comfort level is still there.  A lot of the same feelings of joy return and you again find yourself wanting to find a reason to love it again.  You realize, though, how pathetic you are in your journey.  It can only end in disappointment.  The kind of disappointment Cillard must feel every day waking up in Canada.  Yeah, you're living and breathing...but any hope of having a significant impact on the world is gone.

Canada

You will trudge on, though, in a continuous search for what might be…. even if that means only 15 seconds of joy after years of torture and self reflection on the choices you once made (Hey, at least you’ll end up knowing how Covenn’s wife feels).

I shall remain here though…devoted to the one true toy of my dreams.  I’ll probably be more filled with rage than some sort of sick monster formed between the mating of Aledric and Bilby…but I’ll be here.

Bilby's Player Spotlight: Dissb PDF Print E-mail

Today I begin the first of a series of player spotlights on our beloved guild members.  I know many players want to know the men behind the avatars, and I plan on bringing it to you.  Today we're going to highlight our beloved guild leader, Dissb.  You may also know him by his other characters; Jrom and Pottz (aka Sir Puntsalot).  I sat down with Dissb early this week for a candid interview, here's how it went down:

===========================================================

Bilby: Well thanks for taking the time to talk to me Dissb, I know many people are looking forward to reading this interview.  First off let's ask the obvious question, where did the name Dissb come from?

Dissb: Well that's an easy one Bilby, it stands for Dysfunctional International System of Symbiotic Badgers.  You know I have strong foundations in the badger community and my character is a tribute to that resolve.

Bilby:  On a scale of 1 to 10 how high are you right now?

Dissb: 12.

Bilby: Fair enough.  What would you say is your most used spell rotation on your BW?  I know there's a lot of aspiring BW's that want to know.

Dissb: Well I start with Scorched Earth.

Bilby: And after that?

Dissb: No, that's it.

Bilby: Moving along, Which of your characters is your favorite to play?

Dissb: Well I really like the color purple, and I like numbers.  So you can imagine how excited I was to find out that when you kill people in Warhammer you get these purple numbers flying across your screen.   It was like an orgasm in my mind.  But then Mythic at some point takes away the pretty numbers, I have no idea why.  So I discovered that if you make a new character you get to SEE THE PRETTY NUMBERS AGAIN.  Right now I can only see those pretty numbers on Pottz so he's my favorite.

Bilby: So you have a thing for purple?

Dissb: Yes I do, it stems from an unhealthy sexual fascination with Royalty.

Bilby: So if I told you I was the prince of Canada?

Dissb: I would put out, period.

Bilby: This is uncomfortable now, I'm going to ask another question.  So what's the deal with you and being AFK during trash?

Dissb: Why waste my time, when I can get other people to do stuff for me?

Bilby: Good point.  Any tips for other AFK hopefuls?

Dissb: Well a child is always a good excuse, I often talk about needing to take care of my "daughter".  Or better yet, just leave without saying anything.  The key is to be perky when you come back.  It gives people the illusion that you actually are helpful and excited to get back to PvE, I've gotten a lot of mileage out of that.  I really only show up for boss fights, even then I usually just get my wife to hold down my scorched earth hotkey until the fight is over while I get a smoke.

Bilby: Well I want to say thanks for taking the time to sit down with us.

Dissb: It was my pleasure, so are you like really a Prince? Cause that's kinda hot.

Bilby: Well that will about do it.  From everyone here at Irony, stay classy Gorfang.

===========================================================

Seriously though, I want to put a big shout out to Dissb.  He puts a lot of work into the guild and is probably one of the best RvR leaders I've worked with.  He puts a lot of time into crafting so that any new member who looks at our guild vault goes "HOLY SHIT".  His commitment is something that most of us take for granted.  I know I for one am not looking forward to the release of Starcraft 2, as it will probably mean bye bye for Dissb.

Here's to one of the best Warhammer has ever seen, the badger, Dissb the BW.
