Around Azeroth Beta Edition: Certainly not a trap
Hey, it's the Giant Mexican Nerdcatching Clam of southern Kalimdor! This wily carnivore lures its lonely prey to the bottom of the ocean through text messages and late-night phone calls. Then, when the intended victim reaches for the present left by his "secret admirer," the clam slams shut, trapping the unfortunate singleton inside for a quiet date with the clam's digestive system. (Thanks to Vurbs of <Lethe> on Laughing Skull [US-A] for the screenshot.)

The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Companion Cube cannot speak. In the event that the Companion Cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice.

Area and state regulations do not allow the Companion Cube to remain here, alone and companionless.

"I'd just like to point out that you were given every opportunity to succeed. There was even going to be a party for you. A big party that all your friends were invited to. I invited your best friend the Companion Cube. Of course, he couldn't come because you murdered him. All your other friends couldn't come either because you don't have any other friends."

The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.

This is a triumph.

We do what we must because we can.

I've done this once already, so I'll just say that you will be baked, and then there will be cake.

Now THAT'S a non-combat pet I could get behind.

I would LOVE a [Wooden Companion Cube].

The Enrichment Center would like to remind you that the Companion Cube is a trained actor and do not try these stunts at home.
Wait, that's the Companion Cube's stunt double...What happened to the Companion Cube?

Rest assured that there is absolutely no chance of a dangerous equipment malfunction prior to your victory candescence.

The clam is a lie...?
Noyou Sep 1st 2010 10:39AM
Wrong kind of clam :p

I'm confused, did the blogger totally miss the reference here? Because that's pretty bad for a gaming blog to have someone on staff that is that oblivious.

As much as it hurts inside, you cannot fault a single person for not getting one specific video game reference.
No matter how obvious.
