Serendipity Surprises

When I logged into Steam today, I wasn't expecting to see this:


Honest!

I guess that makes yesterday's Meme Monday all the more appropriate, I suppose.

It's like seeing a random comment by an NPC and saying to yourself "What the hell was THAT?" Like this one I saw last night in Stormwind on the Anniversary Server:


I can't say I've seen THAT one before, and given the lack of context (and to be fair, Blizzard's company culture's reputation these days) that just sounds so wrong.

There's one last little bit of serendipity that has nothing to do with gaming. I was working away at the end of May when I happened to look outside the nearby window and saw this:


Yes, that's a very young fawn, likely a newborn, since the fawn was still a bit wobbly when moving around. That's something you don't get to see live every day.

  1. I'm guessing Lil Timmy's talling about a puppy, where he's having one of the litter but his dad won't let him have two.

    1. To be honest, I hadn't considered that option, given that most of the NPCs in Stormwind either talk to a group of 2 or 3 or to themselves (such as Ol' Emma.

      Still, I certainly hope you're correct, because otherwise this would have gotten awkward really fast.

    2. Lil Timmy is who you get the White Kitten from. He makes the comments as he walks around looking for someone to buy the kitten. As a side note, Coriel of Blessing of Kings has a nice post (or bit in a post) about buying the kitten as a Paladin.

    3. I thought the White Kitten came from the Cat Lady house.
