With the release of Dante's Inferno today, February 9th and subsequent launch party (complete with burlesque dancers) tomorrow at L.A.'s Dragonfly Bar, it seems like everybody's ready to be a sinner. If you're not familiar with the premise of Dante's Inferno, players become Dante as he travels on an epic descent through Dante Alighieri's nine circles of Hell - limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery. 

Nine circles...hmm. We all say jokingly that '... will be my personal hell', can you imagine having NINE personal hells?!  


Okay, here's how I would see a few of MY nine circles: 

Limbo - A room with ONE game and every jackass at every convention I've ever come across who can't seem to fathom that if a chick is standing in line for a game it could possibly be because, oh, I don't know, they WANT TO PLAY and aren't there to 'keep their boyfriend company'. Oh, and said jerks should cut ahead of me in line and/or play for 25 damn minutes like I'm freakin invisible. Awesome. Seriously, screw you guys. 

 

Lust - a room full of every gamer boy/game creator I've ever had a crush on and/or dated. Yep. Hell on a stick.

 

Anger - having to defend myself to a room full of male jackass gamers who's answer to everything is "t**s or GTFO." 

 

Violence - Every zombie I've ever killed in Left 4 Dead giving me a guilt trip while trying to nibble on my flesh, so...what, around 70,000? Crap. 

 

(I would've tried for all nine but I also suffer from Sloth. lol.) 

Anyway...if you're in the L.A. area, stop on by The Dragonfly for the launch party and to see a bunch of beautiful women portraying the seven deadly sins...I'll be there and yes, there WILL be video. Promise. 

You know you wanna...
