Perhaps the weirdest case yet of video games invading real life

Note the list at the bottom.

Strange :hscratch:

Whatever the joke was (is?) - it's way too complicated for me... :lol:

The joke is that they seem to be posting a list of "virtues" that people should live by. But the list is actually the anti-virtues of the Guardian, the villain from Ultima 7-9 and Ultima Underworld 2...

Pretty funny actually... :)

I've never played the games. Are you sure Ultima didn't take that list from real life? Art imitating life imitating art?

Well, they attribute the list: "These virtues were excerpted and adapted from 'The Virtues of the Guardian of Killgorn Keep' created by John Hosie"

Killorn Keep is a location you go to in Ultima Underworld that is on another world controlled by the Guardian, and John Hosie is apparently the name of an Ultima fan that had this list on his website...

Ultima VII is one of my favorite games, but... what the fuck?

Agreed

Do not click on that link if you don't poke smot.

Agreed, and that's even after the explaination. ;)
