From this week's edition of Friday With Means:

Let me answer several PM's at once here by saying "We have not forgotten Halloween!". Halloween is my favourite AO time of year and we have planned a raft of non-traditional goodies for this year including a new hoverbike, hoverboard, new t-shirts, placards, masks, batwings, the long awaited "Bat with Scope" for the innaccurate melee character, a new festive seasonal hoverchair, the much requested "Egina" t-shirt for our female hardcore players, Costumes (OMG Catgurlz?) and more. With absolutely no explanation or reason except that "we can" there will also be new ducks. Halloween has not been forgotten...after next week's update goes live we can't wait to start testing these new toys on Test.

Are you familiar with the internet slang term - Epeen?

Same thing...other gender.

Ooh, I wonder if the pirate duck will make it into game?

(For those who weren't there, I took a pirate rubber duckie to D*Con but donated it to go live in the Funcom studio when it failed to scare off drunken balcony pirates... so maybe?)

I was thinking the exact same thing, Myz! That would be too cool! If I'm not mistaken that would be your second in game item (assuming they stole the UPH doll idea off the one you made 2 years ago).

Oh and

it failed to scare off drunken balcony pirates

What was the quote again?

"We fear no squeak toys!"

Or something like that.

Good times!

I did get told by someone this time round (can't remember who) that the UPH doll actually had a whole other long and twisted origin story. But I chose to believe it was my puppet that inspired it, just because I can!
