BROGAME: YO BRO, SO FAR YOU’RE SO-SO Plus Chatting Like A Sissy Girl (1/4)
Okay, I’m feeling much better now. My blood pressure has dropped and I no longer look and feel like this:
Sorry about the rant earlier , kiddies, but the nonstop spam pushed me to the very edge, I just had to let fly at something.
Anyway, moving on…
I’m doing a new review (do I hear applause and groans?) and the gold-selling site in the spotlight is Brogame.com . Now why Brogame, you might ask? Well, for one thing, Brogame doesn’t spam my blog nor does it spam me in-game. When I Googled for "wow gold", it showed up on the first page of the search results.
BTW, if you’re a WoW gold seller who’s not ranked highly in search engine results and just crying for a little more publicity, take heart: I don’t always choose the company that lands on the first page. There are times when I choose page numbers by whim, do the Eenie-Meenie-Miney-Moe thing and click at a link without even looking. Or if you’re lucky, one of my fellow WoW nuts will recommend you to me…and hopefully, you will not be as bad as the first several sites I reviewed. Because - like what Bruce Banner says before he turns into the Incredible Hunk - you wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.
You dig?
Let’s visit Brogame.com, shall we?
Here’s their home page:

Hmm, I like it that it’s not cluttered. Easy on the eyes. Good, good. However, I am distracted by the silly copy ("We have everything you want" and "Everything you desire") and the blatant typo on the banner - "Pay after ORDFR Finished!" - not to mention the bad English but I’ve given up on the bad English. Sigh. There are worse crimes, I suppose.
Naturally, I gravitate towards the Live Help, which, I believe, can make or break a sale.
And since I’m raring to do something different this evening, I take on a female persona and channel my inner rich, shallow private school chick.
Very badly, if I may add.
But before we get to my awful interpretation of a perky but vacuous pampered princess (who would rather play WoW than shop at Bergdorf Goodman???), I’d like to say first that I am bothered by the chat window interface that I see, ’cause it’s stirring up the worst case of deja vu …
Either Brogame is affiliated with the last gold-selling site I reviewed, or the two of them are in no way affiliated but just happen to employ the same chat client. My gut instinct is telling me it’s the former. Or maybe I’m just paranoid.
I enter Live Help only to be double-slapped by deja vu with the image of "Yvonne " the customer service agent. Oh Jesus, I can’t stand to be reminded of that tramp who ruined senior high for me. MUST. COVER. HER. FACE. TO. PROTECT. MY. PSYCHE.
Okay, Remus and Cletus will laugh at me when they read this. I have never seen an episode of Gossip Girl . I don’t even know how rich high school princesses talk nowadays. My own sister wasn’t even allowed to pepper her sentences with "like" and "totally" by our mother, who has a Ph.D. in English and who threatened to disinherit us if we so much as slaughter the language with brainless fillers. So please excuse the dumber-than-dumb blonde conversation I held on my end but just like the persona I took on, I wasn’t friggin’ thinking!
Christ, do you know how hard it is to chat and Google for info on Gossip Girl at the same time? Why oh why didn’t I do my homework earlier? And how the hell would I know that Gossip Girl is shown in BroGame’s part of the world?
"I sooooo love Blair." — Remus and Cletus will roll down the hills laughing at this…and AT ME!
Haha. Haha. Fabulous. How totally awesome that they can trade with me right after they "received" my order. I heard that line before, Catherine of Brogame.
Okay, at the risk of sounding defensive, I only know about the Prada Fairy bag because my sister keeps whining to our dad to get her a "Prada Fairy bag" for her birthday. Other than that, I know zilch about women’s fashions. What I do know is the price of $2,300 is ridiculous and could feed 50 earthquake survivors.
At this point, I already sound irritating to myself…
My mom uses Creme de la Mer, a 200-dollar hope in a jar for aging babes. $200 will get me an 8GB iPod Nano. $200 will get me over 10,000 WoW gold.
Of course, I completed the Exit survey. As nicely as Blair of Gossip Girl would have done.
Wait, isn’t she the evil one in the series?
Ah well…
Time to place an order.
Hang on, the verification is only for orders $50 and above. Well, that’s great! No phone calls for me then. And besides, I should get my order within half an hour, right, Catherine??? I should expect a peaceful night…
I’m a bit bothered to see a free web-based email address under Merchant Contact Information. I find businesses that use free email accounts kinda iffy. Should I be nervous?
Oh well, time to wait for my gold.
Wouldn’t it be soooooooo totally awesome if I do, like, get my order within half an hour?
If I don’t get it, I’m soooooo gonna hit them on the head with my $40 JanSport backpack!

I don’t trust Brogame….Hoot-hoot!!!
Anywys, I love the hair of the Young Michael Jackson. He looks like the Great Dokkaebi with its big Microphone Hairdo.
The evolution of MJ is good to see as well. It was like the evolution of genomon to Were Kabuterumon (digimon).
