I'm not... look, it's not like I'm sorry about doing it. Or embarrassed. I lost the ability to be embarrassed by my geekery when a kid I knew in high school--who I hadn't interacted with for four years--introduced me to his girlfriend as "that girl with The Matrix stickers all over her binders."

But I must have been really tired when I made my second Shepard character. I don't even remember naming him. It's a blip on the timeline of his creation compared to the agonizing process of trying (and failing) to make him not ass-faced. (Note to future self reading back on her LJ tags as Mass Effect 3 comes out: JUST LEAVE THE DEFAULT.)

I was looking at his name today. I named him Morbo. It's not that that's extraordinary--people often name player characters after other characters. moonlightalice was just regaling me with the tale of her Star Trek Online character, Leah Brahms. So this sort of thing happens.

But...Morbo? Was this because I finally watched the last Futurama movie recently? Why Morbo? Why don't I even remember naming him that? I almost did a spit-take when I saw his name.

If I were to ask "What is wrong with me?" would I like the answers I'd give myself?

Best. I love it. Actually, that whole episode kills me, especially with Bender and his gigantic cigar.

That's the 300 cups of coffee episode. I can quote Fry's whole freakout at Bender by heart now. There were episodes in that latter half of season four which just rule the world.
