The Simpsons game takes on EverQuest
Not long ago, we posted a video from The Simpsons Game featuring a parody of Medal of Honor. We enjoyed the self-referential humor contained in the trailer, and now a new parody video has hit the web. The latest trailer, entitled "NeverQuest," is a parody of the popular massively multiplayer online RPG, EverQuest. The video features several jabs at fantasy conventions. You'll see hobbits, Homer dressed as Link, Marge as her MMO avatar, and plenty of other characters thrust into the stereotypical space. Our favorite is probably the two-headed Patty and Selma dragon. Scariest. Dragon. Ever. Oh, and listening to Homer goof on Gandalf's famous line -- "You shall not pass!" -- is priceless.
While the gameplay looks like it could be somewhat derivative, here's hoping The Simpsons Game turns out to be a rare example of good writing triumphing over gameplay.
