WHAMAGEDDON: RAGNARÖK
Faithful readers will recall my previous experience in the 2019 Whamageddon trenches, as recounted here. Since that entry I have wandered the liminal spaces of Whamageddon, lost in the twilight, half alive, essentially a ghost.
Yesterday changed all that, though. Walking through the common area of the building where my studio is, I half-heard an NPR broadcast on the radio that discussed… classic?… Christmas songs from various decades. Why they chose this particular track in that context I have no idea, but in any case, a few seconds of Wham!’s “Last Christmas” represented the 80s— like seriously, four seconds of it!— and my 2019 Whamageddon campaign crashed and burned, just like that.
It’s like my friend Carrie says:
“That was me last year. Brian Oake played it on purpose without any warning. People were pretty pissed. Even listeners who didn’t know the game thought it was mean spirited.
”My favorite comment was ‘I just discovered I lost a game I didn’t even know I was playing.’”
For everyone out there who’s still standing, I urge you to stand strong. We’re all rooting for you from Whamhalla. Make us proud!
