Pika Pi ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Also, those slaps tho.
I don’t know, this whole “I’m such a huge geek!!” thing kinda seems like a forced effort for her to stay somewhat relevant. They saw how it was posted all over the internet when she mentioned Pokemon and whatnot the first time, so I get the impression they’re now trying a bit too hard to make it a thing.
Just how it happens to appears to me personally, at least. Of course I might be wrong, and she actually does have interest in those things. Either way, they’re doing a bad job presenting it, imo. But then again, seeing how even this blog posts about it, it seems to work. Oh well.
I’m sure they are capitalizing on it now, but she has some major geek cred that came before her name got big.
How many UFC fighters play WOW, y’know? http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/garrosh/Lunya/simple
Oh, I actually hadn’t heard about that. Seems like I wasn’t informed enough, and was getting the wrong impression indeed. Thanks for that extra info. :)
But yea, the way they’re going on about it still seems kinda odd to me, but can I really blame them if it helps getting good rep? Guess not, hah.
God I love WoW. 🎃
Well we found our Pikachu for a live action Pokemon movie, guys! xD First Captain Marvel & now this! I’d vote for her!
