I Am Not A Vampire…

This is a bit unusual, but at the same time pretty funny.

Many months ago I wrote a post about Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines the pc game. While I was trying to be moody and immersive with the article, I think I made it abundantly clear I was talking about a game… Apparently not, as I eventually received an email from someone regarding my post.

They wanted me to find them in real life and embrace them. They wanted to become a vampire … just like me.

I could tell the second I read the email that they had probably not read the article entirely. I mean there were game screenshots for fuck’s sake, lol. Even if you ignored all the words, the damn box cover shot was included in the very beginning!

I guess they just read the intro:

It’s been a while since I’ve written anything here, hasn’t it? However, I have a good reason! A week ago, I was embraced by a vampire and sent to Los Angeles to fulfill a number of tasks. My sire, unfortunately, was exterminated and I was left to often fend for myself as a fledgling. It has been a hectic week to say the least; but I apologize for the absence nonetheless. It’s not easy being a bloodsucker…

And somehow missed the very next line:

Of course, my faithful kine, I am referring to the PC game Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines!

I could tell this person was young, and quite serious. However, I deleted the email without replying, and had forgot about it until just now when I was looking over past posts.

While I haven’t had any other kind of contact since then, I’ve still decided to clarify my position that I’m not actually a vampire, and was just talking about the PC game.

The fact of the matter is, I’m actually a werewolf. ;)
