Titillating Photography!

Things with my Camwhore are getting a bit awkward.

Recently, I’ve been playing a lot of Forumwarz in my office in between things. Gotta squeeze in the entertainment while I can, you know? I’ve been really gung-ho with Forumwarz, even after beating the game with my Emo Kid. So I got back to my Camwhore, lyricalvixen, which I had played a bit with before, and started working her through the game.

Now that I’m getting to the higher levels, though, it’s… making me really self-conscious. All of my Emo Kid’s attacks were hilarious, and were not particularly safe for work. But they were all text. Someone would actually have to hunker down next to me to see such things. Camwhores, though… well, they post pictures, of course. Currently, my most powerful attack is “Hand Bra,” which posts basically nude pictures of women, only their hands or arms are covering their breasts, and it’s cropped to not show any pussy. Now, this a completely appropriate attack for a Camwhore, of course. And it’s not like the images aren’t appealing. They are. It just makes me really jumpy when I’m running through, pwning a forum, and I hear someone coming. I feel like I have to hide the screen.

And it’s only going to get worse, I’d expect. From what I can tell, the Camwhore’s ultimate attack is “Post Vagoo.” Will it really show such things? I think it’s possible. I think about how embarrassed I’ll be when I’m playing the game then, and… yeah. Harsh.

I guess this is a benefit to some people, though. I remember Jick saying that was the whole reason he was playing a Camwhore on the Jick and Skully show. I suppose I’m lame, and I’m really into it for the “role play” of that class. It’s the idea of pretending to be a Camwhore that’s appealing, not seeing naughty pictures. I can find naughty pictures elsewhere! It’s the internet, for crying out loud!

Anyway, this isn’t going to stop me from playing the game. It’s still fantastic. I just might stop listening to things while I play, so I can notice when people sneak up behind me. The people at the office don’t, in general, get non-Facebook internet culture. Explaining the entire game of Forumwarz to them may prove difficult, if I need to get myself out of an awkward situation. Heh.
