Super Frakked-Up Avatar

Brian's frakked up Avatar

My friend Brian (Sharon’s boyfriend, not Brian), created this freaky avatar while playing Saint’s Row at the THQ booth at Comic-Con. I don’t know too much about this game, but I understand the basic concept is prison break.

Here are the choices Brian made in creating the avatar:

  • Gender: Female
  • Hair: Bald
  • Body Type: Overweight
  • Ethnicity: Asian
  • Accessory: Big Sunglasses.

The result was so freaky and so hilarious I couldn’t stop laughing. I’m laughing my arse off while writing this post. The neighboring gamers also caught a glimpse of Brian’s avatar, started busting up, and they took pictures. Even one of the developers was paying attention.

No Pho King Way!

Pho King 4

Like many large cities, San Diego has its fair share of Vietnamese restaurants, especially those that serve pho. Many (but not all) of these restaurants have pho in their names, particularly one out on El Cajon Boulevard, not too far from Hoover High and the Saigon Restaurant (very good).

Whether it was an intentional pun or simply a brag about having great pho, you gotta love the name choice.

Sometime, I’ll have to pay them a visit and see if all that Pho King is worth it.
