I keep forgetting to post this. I don't remember ehich month it was, but there was an Achewood reference in Wizard magazine. (It's a magazine about comic books.) In an article about "Lost", there was a picture of a guy (Locke) in the present day on an old computer (in the hatch). The caption said, "Yeah, Oregon Trail still holds up."

It made me wonder how many people would get it. I mean, besides us.
-
i mean... that is a real game, though. Why is that necessarily an Achewood reference?
-
Being a girl previously employed by the comicbook industry, I will note that Wizard is an "all references to all things dorky all the time" sort of outfit. Basically everything written in there should have quotation marks around it. I remember my boss would be like "Oh that's from She-Hulk #206. And that's from Bone Volume 2, issue 3.... etc." I don't at all doubt that it is a reference to Achewood.
-
aside: BONE IS SO GOOD.
-
It's kind of like an anti-reference, because in that Achewood it isn't holding up - it's been updated.
-
Is Wizard published out of New York? I know some of the MoCCa folks, and the comics cognoscenti of the big Apple definitely loooooove Achewood.
-
That's a real stretch, people. A real stretch. I have talked about Oregon Trail all over the internets and rarely in an Achewood context. It's got a pretty big footprint.

Yeah, if they were talking about the seductive bartender or the extra modules in the updated version, or if they said, "Oregon Trail? Man, I used to punish at that game!" then we could draw a conclusive link.
-
Especially since Beef and Ray are specifically commenting on and enjoying how the game is different now - which flies in the face of the "still hold up" concept.

i was just watching sabrina the teenage witch, and the cat was wearing a lucky chochacho medallion while talking on the phone to his dealer or something, convenently named roastbeef.
there should be laws about watching the abc family channel baked.
-
Isn't there a law against posting to an internet message board about being so giddy about being baked?
Give us a call when you reach adulthood. Thanks.

Ah, the Jough we know and love.

We have missed you so.

Jough! I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU SO THAT I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT MY MARI-JUANA EXPERIENCE.
...not really.
