Smile Guild Wars gets everywhere....

Just idly skimming through the BBC sports website today and lo and behold look what I come across on the live text football updates...

"Clint Dempsey's kind of a big deal. He has many leather-bound books and his apartment smells of rich mahogany. He's also put Fulham in total control here, he heads in Damien Duff's cross from the right."

Someone once told me I was the life of the party.

Which, I figured, was an obvious Guild Wars reference.

Yeah, those are quotes from Anchorman, the legend of Ron Burgundy. GW is just clever enough to have done it sooner.

Gotta love those moments that things that something happens and you relate it to gw even though it is also elsewhere in the real world.

Most of GW stuff is inspired by something in real world. But not many people know.
