Pete Dodd threw open the doors to his personal life on Wednesday, revealing for the first time on Twitter that he lives a life of celibacy. Dodd mentioned that he hoped he would be "lucky," using a popular euphemism for sexual relations (or, "getting lucky"). He then followed the post with the salacious hashtag "#winkyemoticon," in his open sexual invitation, believed to be aimed at his wife.
Hope I'm "lucky" with that. #winkyemoticon

While it's not clear what prompted the attempted lifestyle change, what is clear is that Dodd needs to improve his repertoire if he hopes to improve his "luck" in the bedroom. As a budding video game journalist, this reporter can say that a great first step would be to not refer to the target of his affections as "that."
We're not sure how Famous Mortimer's alternative lifestyle may influence his coverage of the industry, but if it played a role in the success of the anti-DRM campaigns aimed at Sony and Microsoft last year, we can only hope his sexless existence continues.
Editor's Note: This is a corrected version of this story. An earlier version referred to Dodd's "lifestyle change," but there is no evidence as yet that his lifestyle has indeed changed.

ReplyDeleteNot that there's anything wrong with that, but based on our research, that is incorrect. We understand that there is information circulating the Internet that claims otherwise -- reportedly started by former EGM reporter Phil Theobald, who referred to Dodd's wife as "a dude" in a fit of jealousy over Dodd's growing bona fides as a gaming insider.
